So, I'm starting up a DE wych army, and decided to go with the Witch Elves models from WHFB rather than the DE wyches which look like rabble in comparing. So I'm going to have to create a heap of wargear out of green stuff (can't afford buying the wyches only for the weapons.), so where do I start?

So far, all I've achieved with green stuff is filling up joints and stuffing bases, something I could of done with play dough when I was a child. Any good tutorials, articles or tips 'n tricks for how to do it? (I'm -bad- at finding stuff, all I got on YouTube was some informercial and some vids of completed converted models)

GS weapons are very difficult to do, as GS naturally rounds slightly on drying, I would recomend something else called 'grey stuff', surprisingly, it's grey. But alas, I can help you no further as I am no expert in the matter. For blades though plasticard is a good bet

Plasticard, definitely. If you want to do any sort of sharp edged weapon, make the bladed portions from plasticard by filing it down to make your bladed edges, and cutting to shape. hilts/handles/decorations use your green stuf (or any other sculpting medium)

I'd check ebay first. you might be able to pick up the weapons from someone.

Alrighty, cheers all. =)
