Big thanks to GW for the complimentary copy of the books to review.

I think the change I'm most excited for is nobles and mages being able to ride dragons now. Dragon BSB here I come!
Interesting that the isle of blood units appear in the army shot, and not the older metal versions
AS someone who was a long term High Elves player, I now fully feel and understand Vito Corleone. Look at how they massacred my boy.
A prince on star dragon looks like on of the most terrifying units in the games so far… especially when you fully kit him out with durability magic items… WS 8 (blood of caledor) Toughness 6 9 Wound monster with a 2+ save (full plate + shield + dragon helm) 5+ ward (armor of caledor) 5+ regen (seed of rebirth)… very expensive @506points but pretty much unkillable and dishes out plenty of high strength high rend attacks ( 4 S6 ap2 initiative 10 Lance and 6 S7 ap2 claws at initiative 2)
Don't know how mages and armor woks yet but if blood of calendor lets you equip full plate without penalty you could even have the best wizard in the realm with 5 spells be almost identical to the horror above with a bit less weapon skill and attacks…. and even if you cant 9 wounds with a 5+ regen at toughness 6 is still no joke to get through
And thanks to the lack of step up this addition high initiative units like swordmasters will still be able to beat the vast majority of units to the punch even with a +3 charge bonus to initiative (initiative 7!)
Everything looks pretty good with the only possible personal gripes being that sisters of avelorn bows are only S3 now and phoenix guard only have a 6+ ward :/
High elfs really are back on their bullshit this edition
Very excited to get my High Elves on the table for the first time in 15 years. Theory building my prince – How does Strikes first (I 10) interact with a great weapon Strikes last (I1)?
Yes High Elves <3
Only Problem…those ugly Spearelves and Archers. Hopefully they will re-release Lothern Seaguards. Really considering proxy with Lumineth because I doubt that I could get my hands on enough of the really old Spearelves and Archers from 4th. ed.
Aw man, looks like I’ll be dusting off that army of Caledor project I started all those years ago 😁.
Is this set during the time period of Mordheim? Doesn’t really matter… I’m making House Asarnil
No loremaster of hoeth?
Thx for review. What are the two last honors? You only did the first one.
Great video – Really looking forward to playing High Elves again! 🙂
I'm listening to you while I'm in the queue in the Eastern time zone USA. It's great to hear all of this. High Elves was my main faction back in the day.
You only went over the first honor.
Love the content. Keep them coming 🎉
So, dragons are combined profile so they have plate and then you add heavy armor and shield? So dragons can be 1+ armor with a ward?
If I want to play High or Wood Elves, I’m thinking I should just get the core books and wait for models. Did I hear that you can have allies with other “good factions”? That’s awesome!
Glad that they dropped always strikes first. Feels like we are back in 6th edition.
No special characters?
Poor poor Phoenix Guard
Odd that Dwarfs can taken High Elves as Suspicious allies but not the reverse?
