Regular members of this group are equipped with Novigradian steel swords, classic but still pretty good. Some also use witch hunter swords. At a distance they use army crossbows making it a lot harder to escape them, as their bolts run faster than any man. And as they are dedicated to the persecution of "black magic users", they are in possession of dimeritium bombs and shackles. The shackles especially make killing them worthwhile, because they can frequently be looted from their corpse and are pretty valuable while relatively light. Dimeritium is a valuable metal after all.
