Those enemies unfortunate enough to survive their wounds are rounded up by the Witch Elves at the battle's end.

There is little grace to such an assault, merely a whirling storm of venom-coated blades that slash at the foe with maddened fury. Whilst in this god-touched state, Witch Elves give no thought to their own defence, and seek only to hack foes apart in a blood-drenched orgy of slaughter. On the eve of war, Witch Elves drink blood laced with poisonous herbs, driving them into a divine frenzy. By far the largest temple is found in Har Ganeth where, day and night, constant sacrifices are made to the Bloody-handed God. Every Dark Elf city has at least one temple dedicated to Khaine, and there is a shrine to the Lord of Murder within every Black Ark. Khaine demands bloody, agonising sacrifice, for he is a god of death and suffering. His is the largest cult in Dark Elf society, ruled over by priestesses known as Hag Queens, the mistresses of the Brides of Khaine - the Witch Elves. The Dark Elves worship many dark and forbidden gods, but by far the most prominent is Khaine, the Lord of Murder.
