I got a kick out of this passage I had read recently in one of the Malus books:

"They parted like water around a luminous figure in their midst, her naked body clothed in a raiment of steaming blood. Yasmir had emerged onto the deck in the midst of the enemy, her twin knives in hand and heedless of her own life had danced among them like a temple priestess, taking a life with each sinuous stroke of her arm. Awed and terrified by the beautiful, deadly figure, they fell away from her on every side. She stood among heaps of the enemy dead, bathed in gore and laughing with sheer, mad joy at the slaughter she'd wrought. The attackers had laid not a single mark upon her."

I'm sure some of you with more experience with Warhammer know of more exciting and descriptive Witch Elf references, but I thought this one was pretty neat, and gave me a decent picture of what the class is about.

A very cool passage indeed. From what little I know of DE lore, described a Witch Elf very well.

I think it'd be cool if we can find passages about every class. :)

If I alt.... When I alt, it will be a Witch Elf.

I am currently reading the books (half way through book 3 now) and as far as I understood it Yasmir is not really a witch elf per se though. Isn't she some divine messenger of Khaine more like a super witch elf? :)

I don't know... that's pretty much one of the best descriptions I recall reading. Thanks again, Yasmir is great. :D

More or less... while she might technically not be a Witch Elf (wasn't raised to be one) she was magically awakened to be pretty much the perfect representation of what a Witch Elf should be. So I'd say it's accurate as a description of a Witch Elf.

That series is something every dark elf fan should read.

...wait, go back to the part where she's naked? Are there screenshots? haha, just kidding. This further interests me into playing this career.

Yeah, Yasmir isn't technically a Witch Elf. But that imagery is dead on Witch Elf. Good call.

Great series so far, I've got about 2 chapters left in Daemon's Curse.

Funny thing is, Yasmir isn't a Witch Elf, she just fights like one XD

Don't ask me why though, cause I dunno.

Edit: Oi, skipped some comments that already remarked this.
