Dark Eldar Melee Weaponry
From Lexicanum
Contents |
Overview
Dark Eldar Melee Weapons are horrible and designed to eviscerate, lacerate and incise at close quarters. They often include sharp blades, poisons and a variety of other designs more often designed to incapacitate and cause pain than kill outright.1-p34
Agoniser
Agonisers come in many forms, such as whips or gauntlets, but they are designed to attach themselves to the victim's nervous system, take control of it and inflict immense pain which can disable or kill the victim. The size of the creature doesn't matter and often the larger the creature, the greater the potential for pain-infliction. Agonisers have the ability to harm vehicles as well, potentially disabling the crew or disrupting the vehicle's systems.1-p14
Monomolecular Blade
The Monomolecular Blade is incredibly sharp and vicious, able to cut through the ceramite of Space Marine Power Armour. They are attached to most Dark Eldar weapons in places which can cause the most harm. They are honed to, as the name suggests, a single molecule thick.1-p34
Poisoned Blades
Poisoned Blades are weapons coated in virulent poisons used with the utmost care as the users can be easily harmed by them. Standard Warriors usually don't have access to poisoned blades.1-p14
Punisher
The Punisher is a close combat weapon used only by Incubi. It is large and unwieldy but incorporates a shock field generator which is beyond the ability of the Imperium to replicate. They are often easily alterable to suit the user with an extensible haft and a monomolecular blade attached to deliver the shock.1-p34
Wych Weapon
Wych Weapons is a generic name for all of the various weapons used by the Wych cults. They are often used in the gladiatorial combat between Wyches, however they are also useful in actual combat. Some of the variants include shardnets, impalers, hydraknives and razorsnares. Each weapon is chosen by the individual Wych and as such is customised to their standards.1-p9
