No'ki's Quest for more Wyches

[Archon No'ki]

I went into GW Cambridge the other day as this is shortly to become my "local". While is was there I decieded to complete a bit of shopping I'd started at my current local a few days before. At my local I had bought myself a shiny new Ravager, as the previous one had a run in with my (then) 8 month old Border Collie Spaniel cross and so my first ravager now has to act as a battle scarred Raider. Whilst I was there I was going to buy a few Wyches to complete a unit to see if I can use them any better then , but alas I didn't have the money and so just bought the Ravager.

Now as I said a few days later I was at GW Cambridge, which is actully quite a nice store, and I thought: "I know, I have the money this time I'll pick up some Wyches." So I had a look on the shelves, (and thought myself lucky as there were Dark Eldar there) Lords, Mandrakes, Scourges, Grots...hmm where are the Wyches? So I asked one of the Staff and he went and had a very good rumage through the stock room but couldn't find any back there. He applogised and asked if I was aware that DE were being taken off ready for when they're redone, and so he didn't know when they'd get any new DE stock in. I said yeah I knew that (while thinking to myself, phasing models out two years before the army is redone, yeah right :. And finaly he suggested that I order them online, I said cheers, had another look at the boards and the mass SMurf army they were busy painting for Gamesday, and left.

Fast forward to this morning. Whilst getting my Ravager out of the box ready to clean it up abit before putting it together I remembered the Wyches I was going to buy. I went and jumped on my computer and quickly logged onto the GW UK Online store and went to the Dark Eldar section and then Elites. There there was the 5 Wyche box set, the 3 Wyches to a Blister, the Assult weapon blister, and the Succubus Blister. Hang on, where are the Wyches with Wych Weapons?!?! I need them to make a legal unit! Only one word could express how I felt at this point:

KHAN!!!!!!!!!!

And so now I am squezzing myself into my spiky spandex jump suit, dipping my knife into some extra strong liquid rat posion, pulling my hair back into a pony tail and shouldering my home made Splinter Rifle. GW big wigs? You are doomed, DOOMED I tell you! For Tonight I will feast on you very souls!

*clap, clap, clap* very well written

anyhoo i wonder why there isnt the blisters for wyches with wych weapons anymore.....very strange

[The Farseer (now evil)]

i use a mixture of witch elves and wyches. But dont get to wound up. They proberly removed the wych weapons coz those modles were used when there were differant rules for wych weapons.

[Archon No'ki]

Don't worry I'm not that wound yup, it was just a bit annoying at the time I understand that the models were orginaly used when the Wych Weapons had diffrent rules, but you are still required to have some models with Wych Weapons if the unit has taken the upgrade and I'm sure WYSIWYG Nazi's could pull somebody up for saying that their Wyches have Wych Weapons when the models only have SPs and CWs.

I had thought about using Witch Elves to represent them, as they are much better models, but since I already have about 6 normal Wyches I wanted to complete the Squad with the same models. Then it proved that I can use the better I would get another unit made from Witch Elves.

(Oh, and a Cookie to the first to tell me what film I made refrence to in my first post.)

star trek number *mumble mumbel* Wrath of Khan.

i like cookies..hahahahaha

[Death Strike]

i thought i read in the DE codex update that the wych weapons werent the usual hydraknives, etc. and that they had a different effect and you DONT NEED TO MODEL THEM ON. or are you doing something different?

[Archon No'ki]

Your right in that Wych Weapons have just been generalised and are no longer the individual Hydra Knives etc but it still says it most be shown a few models in the unit that they have Wych Weapons

Oh and...You can have two thirds of a Cookie Nightcrawler, how could you forget the number of the greatest Star Trek film ever made!?!?!

[Archon Tireq]

cant you make the wych weapons out of green stuff perhaps, or make little whips from wire or something?

[Death Strike]

that would probably take some time, but that would be pretty cool. the choice is yours No'ki

[nightcrawler20003]

"how could you forget the number of the greatest Star Trek film ever made!?!?! "

...its been toooooooo looong since i've seen anything star trek....heh. [censored], and i really wanted that whole cookie too hahaha ;D

[Archon Zaco]

I really like the wyches with the Tridents and nets, how Spartacus like. But while you don't really have to use the models with wych weapons modeled I think it gives your squad a bit of variety; if you just buy two of the boxes for a 10 man squad you will have two of each model. IF you mix it up with some of the wych weapon models, and maybe a few modifications to any models that there are two of in a squad.
