Characteristic increases (Cold One Knights Ld) but do not get chariots 2-in-1 and the points cost of warriors is not decreased. See Chronicles 2003.

	==Why play Dark Elves?==		==Why play Dark Elves?==
	Because you like losing. Dark Elves in this edition are extremely tricky with weird gimmicks, leading to many entirely useless units. Lucky for them, they got a major overhaul in 7th edition (AND not to forget that major revision during the 6th edition!) and stayed quite good in 8th. If you like the edgy elves (and who doesn't?) you'll have a much better play experience there.		Because you like losing.
