Warhammer
Witch Elves
Amongst the Dark Elves she-Elves are just as deadly as their menfolk, and are equally adept warriors, fighting alongside the males in battle. The wildest of all are the With Elves, the brides of Khaine, Lord of Murder. They are the most cruel of all Dark Elves, the most bloodthirsty and most beautiful.
Before battle Witch Elves drink blood laced with poisonous herbs which drives them into a frenzy of bloodlust. They do not carry shields, caring nothing for their own protection, and are armed with sharp swords and long knives whose edges are dipped in venom. After a battle they choose victims to sacrifice to Khaine and bathe in the cauldrons of blood, renewing their dark pact with the Lord of Murder.
Witch Elves live in the Temples of Khaine under the glowering eyes of their Hag Queens. The Hag Queens are extremely ancient, and once a year they take part in the riotous celebrations of Death Night when the Witch Elves prowl the streets and steal away any Dark Elves their find, sometimes breaking into houses and take petrified inhabitants away for sacrifice.
On Death Night the Hag Queens bathe in blood to restore themselves, at which time they become most enchanting and voluptuous of all Elves, their strangely cadaverous beauty more powerful and captivating than any magic. Over the year they revert into the haggard crones they really are, until Death Night comes round once more and the Dark Elves hide in their homes, listening to the revelry and evil laughter of the midnight celebrations of the With Elves.
The Witch Elves steal away some male children to raise in the temples of Khaine to be Assassins, and these are probably the most deadly and evil Dark Elves of all, the masters of subtle and murderous magics.
