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

Any unit of foot troops in the army (except skirmishers) may upgrade a model to a Champion, musician or standard bearer for +10 points each. Any unit of cavalry may upgrade a model to a Champion, musician or standard bearer for +15 points each. A Champion will have +1BS if the unit he is with is equipped with bows or longbows, otherwise he will have +1A. A standard bearer from the following units may carry a magic banner worth up to 50 points: Phoenix Guard, Swordmasters, Dragon Princes, White Lions or Handmaidens.

The following special rules apply to the High Elf army:

• High Elves on foot and armed with bows or longbows can shoot in one more rank than is normally allowed.
• High Elves on foot may fight with spears in three ranks. See the Weapons section in the Warhammer rulebook.
• When fighting against Dark Elves all High Elves may re-roll failed Psychology tests (note that this does not include Break tests).
• High Elf wizards get +1 to their dispel roll against any enemy magic. This is not cumulative, so an army with two wizards will still only get +1 to dispel. However, this bonus may be combined with bonuses from magic items. High Elf wizards may use any lore of magic from the Warhammer rulebook.
