A Cult is usually sponsored by a Kabal; in exchange for an Archon's patronage, a Cult will fight alongside the Kabal's warriors during realspace raids. There have even been instances of wyches becoming archons themselves, though a Succubus generally prefers direct violence to the backstabbing intrigue of the Kabals. [[Beastmaster]]s are also part of the Wych Cults.

As Bloodbrides are the elite among Wyches they are granted a greater number of special weapons than "normal" Wyches. The newest members of a Wych cult and the freshest babes on the battlefields are called '''Debutantes.''' These inductees are very eager to make their mark by looking as Hawt and deadly as possible. A Cult is usually sponsored by a Kabal; in exchange for an Archon's patronage, a Cult will fight alongside the Kabal's warriors during realspace raids. There have even been instances of wyches becoming archons themselves, though a Succubus generally prefers direct violence to the backstabbing intrigue of the Kabals. [[Beastmaster]]s are also part of the Wych Cults.

	Wyches are close combat specialists and often carry very little equipment, relying on pure speed, agility and shall we say....[[PROMOTIONS\|distractions]] as much as possible. ~~Seriously when we meant they wear~~ [[Wychsuit\|~~g-strings,~~ bikinis and high thong leotards ~~in battle~~,]] we ain't joking. Don't be surprised when your Guardsmen stand agape with their jaws hitting the floor (just after a Wych performs an impossibly elegant somersault to cut their jaws off, of course). If you wanna see more [[~~NSFW~~]] ~~images~~, ~~[[Wychsuit\|see here:]]~~		Wyches are close combat specialists and often carry very little equipment, relying on pure speed, agility and shall we say....[[PROMOTIONS\|distractions]] as much as possible. The [[Wychsuit\|wychsuits]] of the 3rd Edition Dark Eldar sculpts were basically bikinis and high thong leotards, we ain't joking. It appears that [[Games Workshop]] eventually realized that this was a bit ridiculous, and the current sculpts are less revealing and more imposing.

	Contrary to popular belief, Wyches are not exclusively female. Beastmasters, for example, are typically male. Reaver Jetbike riders may also be either male or female. Finally, if you squint at the models in the current Wych sprue, it does appear that a minority of them are indeed male. While it is true that ''most'' members of a Wych Cult are female, for it is easier for them to attain the poise and grace their craft demands, talented male Wyches are still sometimes found fighting alongside their female counterparts. The males also ensure that their Wych Cult is able to sire strong offspring. However, while they are valued, males rarely attain high rank in a Wych cult. That being said, due to the proclivities of most fa/tg/uys nobody really talks about or draws art of male Wyches. Therefore, someone unfamiliar with the lore could easily get the impression that all Wyches are merely female Elf Strippers in Space, and that the males simply don't exist. The truth is that in-lore, ''all'' Wyches have refined the violence of combat to a stylized art form that very few can compete against (even their skimpy attire has non-sexualized reasons for existing - they only armor the side they most often turn towards their foes and the better the fighter, the more skin they show as a taunt to the enemy).
