Dark Elf, Witch Elves

Which Elves can be found wherever the forces of the Witch King gather en masse for war. A warrior cult that is exclusively comprised of females, the Witch Elves eschew any form of armor. Instead, they rely on their natural litheness and celerity to avoid enemy attacks. To these vicious killers, the battlefield is a sanctified place for offering up the deaths of their foes to Khaine, the Elf god of war.
