The Elves of Ulthuan have many skilled artisans and weaponsmiths, and their armies march to war with the finest arms and armour. To represent this, certain Elf units and characters can take items of equipment not featured in the Warhammer rulebook. The rules for these items are included below. Forged in the heart of a volcano, this fine armour is enchanted to ward off the effects of Dragon breath. The model is immune to all breath attacks, and any fire-based attack (including spells from the Lore of Fire). Dragon armour also counts as heavy armour, giving a 5 + armour save. The white lion cloak that gives the White Lions of Chrace their name also gives them a +2 armour save versus missile fire. In close combat it is thrown back over the shoulder and offers no additional protection. Ithilmar is extremely light, but very resilient. Barding made from ithilmar gives the same protection as heavy steel, but without slowing down the steed that wears it. Ithilmar barding adds +1 to the model's armour save like ordinary barding, however there is no reduction in the movement rate of the model. |
