The enchanting island of Ulthuan stands as a radiant beacon amidst the storm of Chaos engulfing the Old World. Here, the High Elves, the chosen children of the Old Ones, hold fast to their ancient traditions, balancing martial prowess with magical mastery. Despite enduring centuries of strife, their civilization remains a shining example of discipline, elegance, and unyielding pride. Now, the High Elves return to the fray, with an awe-inspiring range of miniatures and lore-rich content, ready to rekindle their eternal war against the forces of darkness.
Building an Army of Legends
At the core of the High Elves’ resurgence is the Battalion box, a comprehensive kit of 66 miniatures. With 32 Elven Spearmen, 32 Elven Archers, and two Tiranoc Chariots (convertible into Lion Chariots of Chrace), this set lays the groundwork for an army of precision and elegance. The included High Elf Realms Transfer Sheet, with its intricate iconography, ensures that every banner and shield gleams with the pride of Ulthuan.
Accompanying this is the Arcane Journal: High Elf Realms, a 48-page tome brimming with lore, new rules, and tantalizing additions such as the Chracian Warhost and Sea Guard Garrison. This book is essential for any High Elf general eager to lead their forces with historical and tactical insight.
Heroes of Ulthuan
Two new resin-crafted heroes bring distinct personalities to the battlefield. The Lord of Chrace, draped in a lion’s cloak and armed with axe and sword, embodies the rugged strength of his realm. Meanwhile, Ishaya Vess, the Sentinel of the Silent Isle, leads her Lothern Sea Guard with unrelenting discipline and the might of her Trident of Mathlann’s Ire. Please note that Wargame Portal does not have access to Forge World resin miniatures, and those must be purchased directly.
New Kits and Old Favorites
Fans of swift cavalry will rejoice at the arrival of the Ellyrian Reavers, whose dynamic poses echo the spirit of their 2010 predecessors while embracing modern sculpting excellence. Returning staples like the Lord on Dragon and the Flamespyre Phoenix showcase the High Elves’ mastery of both land and sky. Whether you opt for the fiery grandeur of a Moon Dragon or the icy stoicism of a Frostheart Phoenix, these kits encapsulate the magical duality of Ulthuan.
The Pride of Ulthuan
Ulthuan’s defenders are nothing without their elite regiments. The Swordmasters of Hoeth wield shimmering blades that deflect arrows mid-flight, while the White Lions of Chrace represent courage honed by the hunt. The versatile Sisters of Avelorn and Shadow Warriors add tactical depth, and the Phoenix Guard, unyielding in their grim foresight, march unperturbed by their fated ends. These iconic units, combined with the flexible Lothern Sea Guard and noble cavalry such as the Dragon Princes of Caledor, create an army as balanced as it is beautiful.
Returning Classics
Rounding out the range are returning metal kits like the Handmaiden of the Everqueen and Korhil Lionmane, alongside soaring Great Eagles. These timeless figures capture the enduring majesty of the High Elves, offering veteran collectors and new fans alike a chance to celebrate the history of Warhammer.
Elegance in War
From dazzling Skycutters to devastating Eagle-Claw Bolt Throwers, the High Elves’ arsenal is as refined as their tactics. Even their chariots, whether drawn by rocs or lions, epitomize a harmonious blend of artistry and lethality.
