High Elf Spearmen


These seemingly ordinary troops are quite otherwise. They come with skills that no other races spearmen get:Citizen Levy! This allows them to strike with the third rank as well as the second rank. Thus making them an ideal defencive unit. Easily the warhammer worlds best spearmen unit. A champion with the power stone improves this unit on the only thing it lacks,strength. I always take them with a 4+ save cause it doesnt slow High Elves down,uhhh the wonders of Ithilmar armour.


High Elf Archers



As with the spearmen there archers are equipped with the special rules of Citizen Levy.This allows High Elf archers to shoot with two ranks rather than one. A good and hand thing that allows me to get the rank bonus and still have them not sitting idle.Equipped with there long bow and there deadly accuracy these archers rival the wood elfs for the best in the game. Always take long bows with these troops.



Sea Guards of Lothern



The best of all the units that the high elfs have in there arsenal. I like them better than swordmasters or even the White Lions as they are so versatile. They get the citizen levy rules for both spears and bows. Thus giving three ranks with spears and two with archers. Giving them heavy armour and a shield as well costs 16 points and allows them to do all that with a 4+ save that doesnt slow them down!If you take a leader with the Power stone of Le Marquis these guys are absolutely insane.



Sword Masters of Hoeth



These warriors are the elite of the High Elf infantry. There skill with the sword are legendary. No penalty for double handed weapons is a skill unheard of in the warhammer world. They also have the skill to deflect arrows which does -1 to hit them for enemy archers. Only give them shields if your afraid of archers. Personnally i almost never bother as it makes them 17 points each.



White Lions of Chrace



These are the big burly warriors of the high elfs. They move through the woods without penalty and have a number of special rules which will be described below. With there starting strength of 4 there in a class of there own.


Special rules:White Lions are expert axemen and thus are more adept at hand to hand than normal warriors. They have three skills which they can do. If they are charged the enemy suffers -1 to hit. If they charge the enemy gets -1 attack. The third one does the same as an executionisher and allows them to do D3 wounds on there opponent. There are also as good as wood elves in the woods so therefor they suffer no penalty for moving through the wooods. Alas there is even more special rules for the power houses. There bodyguard rules. If the general is leading the unit then they will automatically pass any leadership based test!

Dragon Princes of Caledor



These are the elite troops in the cavalry department. In the old days they used to ride on the backs of dragons into war.Now the dragons are few and they must turn to there steeds instead.High Elf steeds are the fastest steeds in the warhammer world.The dragon princes are noble elfs that ride steeds decorated in the form of a dragon to pay respect to there trusted companions of old.Today they are still very formidable heavy cavalry. They have a 2+ armour save that only slows there steeds down 1 rather than the normal 2 thanks to Ithilmar armour. The unit must always have a standard.Its a possitive because Dragon prince standards are free and if you make it a magic standard it only costs half of the points!The Battle Banner works well at 50 points. If you take these guys take a leader of some sort with the battle stone of Le Marquis.



Silver Helms



These troops are well noted for their noble look and there feroicity in battle. They are good cavalry but i would only take them if you dont want a 2+ armour save or for an additional unit after the Dragon Princes.You can give them a 3+ save and still have a movement of 9.
