Wych
From Lexicanum
Wyches are gladiatorial warriors of the Dark Eldar. They fight in arenas in duels with one another, aliens and Warp Beasts, few survive their first duel but those who live learn quickly. Ruled over by their succubi, the wyches are highly proficient at close-quarters combat, practising their skills for their entire lives. Wyches use a cocktail of combat-enhancing drugs to improve their performance on the battlefield.
Wych Beastmasters are another form of Wych, dedicated to ruling over a pack of Warp Beasts. In Commoragh they fight in the arenas against wild animals. They are forced to take combat drugs to keep up with the Warp Beasts but if they are killed, the Warp Beasts lose all order and will attack anything they come across as they are by nature savage beasts. The presence of the Beastmasters is all that is keeping the Warp Beasts on the field so if they are killed they can disappear back to the warp.
Equipment
They are typically armed with a wide variety of close combat Wych Weapons.
