Which Wych configuration?

I honestly don't find any of the special wych weapons worth it.

Too many points for not much action.

Yes I think so too, but I am 'big units oriented'. A fully kitted out 6+ armour 10 wych squad accounting to 150+ points? That's three times the point value for a IG squad for less survivability.

Here is another question - what is best Wych Weapon on Bloobrides, considering there is Duke in the list?

'd personally go for gauntlets x3. if you're gonna take elite wyches because you want more attacks, then take the gauntlets, you get an absolute stack of extras that way. aggy or v.blade for the unit champ would be my config.

I would say it depends on the role you're giving them. If you want them to be killy, give them RF if you want them to tarpit give them Shardnet. I go for shardnet personally.

Lelith goes with them.
Shock unit.

I need something able to kill shootinators, and it look like it wont be our agonisers anylonger.
There is also some wicked 50 man platoons appearing.

Im also thinking about running some girls in Venoms. Heka, Power Lance, Haywire. Sort of support assault unit, and good AV unit. Throw some grenades, issue challenges, kill some Sergeants/Exarchs.

The shardnet is nice, but to expenisve. My wyches normally run in squads of five, with haywire grenades, and a hax with a venomblade. They are inexpensive, and versatile.
