High Elves come from the mystic isle of Ulthuan, a hidden realm far out to sea that almost no others have visited.

Special Rules

Alarielle the Radiant (Magic)

A Warhammer battle is packed with fantastic creatures and skilled warriors whose abilities are so incredible and varied that the basic rules cannot possibly cover them all. For such circumstances we have special rules – uncommon rules to govern uncommon circumstances. When a creature has an ability that breaks or bends one of the main game rules, it is often represented by a special rule. A special rule can boost a model's chances of causing damage, such as by granting poisoned weapons, or enhance its Strength. Alternatively, a special rule can improve a model's survivability, by granting it a better armour save or the ability to regrow damaged flesh. It is through the use of the special rules that Dragons breathe fire, Assassins strike with lightning speed and Giants cause bowel-loosening terror in their enemies.

Weapons (and Equipment)

Arrows of Isha

In the grim and dangerous world of Warhammer, warriors employ many different types of weapons against a multitude of foes. From the fine swords of the Elves or the well-wrought axes of the Dwarfs to less-sophisticated choppas of the Orcs or the huge spiked clubs used by Ogres, every race has weaponry fitted to its preferred style of fighting. It is usual for all the models in a unit to carry the same weapons. A unit of Spearmen, a unit of Crossbowmen and so on. It is acceptable for a unit to include a minority of models that are differently armed for the sake of a varied and interesting appearance, but the unit still counts as being armed as the majority. Where models are varied in this way, it is important that the overall appearance of the unit is not misleading.

The Lores of Magic

The Lore of High Magic (High Elves)

Wizards are a formidable force on the battlefield, able to wreak incredible destruction, weaken or strengthen other warriors, or summon terrible beasts to fight at their side. We’ve already covered the rules for the Magic phase – in this chapter, we’ll discuss how spells are generated, and present the eight Battle Magic spell lores.

Magic Items (and Abilities)

Vaul's Forge

The Warhammer world is rich in magical artefacts and holy relics of great power. Soul-drinking swords, impenetrable suits of armour, ancient tomes of sorcerous knowledge and lost rings of incalculable might – many a war has been fought solely for the possession of such treasures and the power they bestow.

The Shieldstone of Isha grants Alarielle the Radiant and her unit a 5+ ward save against any non-magical attacks.

The Shieldstone of Isha

At the start of your Movement phase, nominate a single friendly character within 12" – that model immediately regains a single Wound lost earlier in the battle. Alarielle can only restore her own Wounds if there is no other viable target within range.

Star of Avelorn

One use only. The Stave of Avelorn is used in the Magic phase. When used, it allows Alarielle to immediately attempt to cast a spell she has already cast that phase, even if the casting attempt failed, or was Miscast. The spell is otherwise cast according to the normal rules.

Special Character

The Stone of Midnight grants Alith Anar a 4+ ward save. In addition, enemies suffer a -1 penalty To Hit when shooting against Alith Anar or a unit he has joined.

Stone of Midnight

Alith Anar and his unit have the Swiftstride special rule.

The Shadow Crown

The Moonbow is a bolt thrower with the profile given below. Alith Anar can shoot the Moonbow if he moves (but not if he marches). Armour saves are not permitted against Wounds caused by the Moonbow. Any unit of Dark Elves that suffers one or more casualties from the Moonbow also suffers a -1 penalty to their Leadership until the end of the phase.

Attacks made with the Fangsword are resolved at +2 Strength. Armour Saves cannot be taken against Wounds caused by the Fangsword of Eltharion.

Fangsword of Eltharion

The Helm of Yvresse adds +1 to Eltharion the Grim’s armour save and grants him and his mount (if any) a 5+ ward save.

Helm of Yvresse

This item grants Eltharion the Magic Resistance (1) special rule. The Talisman of Hoeth also makes Eltharion a Level 2 Wizard, who uses spells from one of the eight Lores of Battle Magic found in the Warhammer rulebook.

Close combat attacks made with Chayal are resolved at +2 Strength and have the Killing Blow special rule. Furthermore, Chayal and Korhil’s hand weapon count as Paired Weapons. 

Chayal

Korhil counts his armour save as being one point higher against close combat attacks and two points higher against non-magical shooting attacks. In addition, Poisoned Attacks cannot wound the wearer of the Pelt of Charandis automatically – they must always roll To Wound.

Swordmaster

All hits from the Sword of Teclis wound on a 2+. Armour saves are not permitted against Wounds caused by the Sword of Teclis.

Sword of Teclis

One use only. The Moon Staff of Lileath can either be used at the start of any of Teclis' Magic phases, in which case a bonus power dice is added to every casting attempt Teclis makes that phase (you still need to use at least one dice from the power pool for each casting attempt), or if Teclis suffers a Miscast (declare you are using the Moon Staff of Lileath before rolling on the Miscast Table), in which case the result of the miscast is ignored. In either case, Teclis’ Strength and Toughness are both immediately reduced to 1 for the rest of the game.

Moon Staff of Lileath

One use only. When an enemy spell has been cast, provided it was not cast with irresistible force. Teclis can read the Scroll of Hoeth instead of attempting to dispel the spell by using dispel dice. This automatically dispels the spell, no dice roll is required. In addition, immediately after the dispel has been resolved, both Teclis and the caster roll a D6; if Teclis scores higher, the caster immediately forgets the spell; otherwise, nothing else happens.

Scroll of Hoeth

Whilst Teclis has the War Crown of Saphery, his Wizard level is increased by one.

Teclis

Tiranoc Chariot

Hits from Sunfang are resolved at +3 Strength and have the Flaming Attacks special rule. In addition, Sunfang’s bearer can make a Strength 4 Breath Weapon attack once per game. Hits from this attack are magical, and have the Flaming Attacks special rule.

Sunfang

The Dragon Armour of Aenarion grants Tyrion a 1+ armour save that cannot be improved by any means. In addition, it grants Tyrion a 4+ ward save and the Fireborn special rule.

Dragon Armour of Aenarion

The Heart of Avelorn gives Tyrion the Magic Resistance (2) special rule. In addition, if Tyrion suffers an unsaved Wound that would kill him (including unsaved Wounds that killed him as a result of the Killing Blow, Heroic Killing Blow or Multiple Wounds special rules), roll a D6 before removing him as a casualty; on a 2+ Tyrion negates the Wound and the Heart of Avelorn is destroyed. Otherwise, Tyrion is removed as a casualty as normal.
