High Elf Realms
Only rarely will one of those arrogant Elves be in your way. They easily break like twigs, but their magic is strong and they have dragons…
What are things that were especially effective against High Elves? Which things do you need to be careful of?
Strengths
Quite a few, actually. High Elves often times will attack first, even if you charged them. And especially their special and rare units hit very hard. High Elves are fast on the battlefield and will likely control movement. Their wizards have access to High Magic with some incredibly powerful spells. The lore has rather high casting values, but all High Elf wizards can re-roll one (1) failed casting attempt per turn. All characters can get a cheap Regeneration (5+) save and they have access to a lot of monstrous mounts, including the mightiest of Dragons. Their basic troops are not extraordinary, but reliable troops and often their humble archers punch above their weight class.
Weaknesses
High Elves are the archetypical glass cannons. With the exception of characters on monstrous mounts, the whole army has toughness 3 across the board, making them susceptible to small arms fire and all manner of S3 or S4 attacks.
Even though it’s unlikely to snipe a character within a unit, the Curse of Hashut can really ruin the day of some careless lone character.
