Similar to the Dark Elf one really.

Tyrion, Defender Of Ulthuan
Prince Tyrion is the greatest living warrior of the High Elves. He is a descendant of the first Phoenix King, and some elven bards say that he is in fact Aenarion reborn, so valiant and skilled is he. Tyrion was Commander at the glorius battle of Finuval Plain, where he routed the host of Malekith and slew the Witch Kings personal champion Urian Poisonblad. He is the protector of the Everqueen, and defender of all Ulthuan.

Teclis, High Loremaster of the White Tower
Twin to mighty Tyrion, Teclis is wholly the opposite of his brother. Physically he is frail and must sustain himself by imbibing magical potions of his own creation. He is not a master of swordplay nor strategy. However he is the greatest living Mage in this age of the world, and his mastery of the magical arts is unsurpassed by any living creature. It is claimed that his power is on par with the Great Necromancer Nagash, so it is fortunate that Teclis has devoted his life to thwarting the powers of Chaos and death. It was Teclis who first taught Imperial wizards how to control the raging energies of the magical realm, and on his instruction the Colleges of Magic were set up. It was only with the aid of Teclis that Emperor Magnus the Pious was able to push back the forces of Dark Gods in the last great war against Chaos. truly teclis is one of those legendary heros who's actions shape the world.

Imrik, Dragon Prince Of Caledor
Caledor is now a silent realm. No longer do the skies ring to the cries of Dragons and the roars of their fiery breath. No more do the caves rumble with their sounds nor does the earth shake beneath their heavy tread. Instead there is nothing but the hollow echo of the Elves' footsteps in the ancient halls.

Most noble of these Princes of Dragons is Imrik, Last in the line of the Phoenix King Caledor. It is he who remains one of the few who can wake the dragons in time of need, and then only a few. Gone are the days when his followers rode into battle atop mighty Fire Drakes. Now it is imrik alone who fights in the traditional manner of his house.

And fight he does! In the defence of his homeland, and indeed all Ulthuan, Imrik is a stalwart bastion of strength.Together with Tyrion and Teclis, the descendant of the great house of Aenarion, he stands as an unbreachable wall against the many foes of the High Elves and the mystical Isle of Ulthuan.

Eltharion the Grim, Warden of Tor Yvresse (http://oz.games-workshop.com/games/warhammer/highelves/gaming/specialcharacters/eltharion.htm)
Eltharion the Grim is the Warden of the City of Tor Yvresse. He dwells in a high tower overlooking the ancient metropolis and can be seen flying high above it on his ferocious and loyal War Griffon, Stormwing.

Eltharion the Grim is amongst the most famous of High Elf heroes. He is the only general who has led a successful raid against Naggarond itself and returned to tell the tale. During that raid he was mortally wounded by a poisoned blade of a Witch Elf, but an apparition of his dead father roused him to seek revenge and save Yvresse from destruction. Such was the power of Eltharion’s will that he returned from death’s door to exact his vengeance on the Goblins that had murdered his family and destroyed his ancestral lands. He fought and defeated the Goblin horde of Grom the Paunch inside the very gates of Tor Yvresse. When the previous Warden of the city was killed in a magical duel with a Goblin Shaman, Eltharion was chosen as the new Warden. Many years later he was defeated in single combat by the Witch King himself while defending the ancient city of Anlec from a Dark Elf incursion. The evil Malekith had him blinded and tortured, and then sent back to the Phoenix King as a living example of his cruelty. Now Eltharion is recovering in the care of Belannaer in the holy Tower of Hoeth, where he is training hard in the ways of the Swordmasters. His skill and strength are returning rapidly and he will soon be ready to embark on a bitter quest for revenge, which will lead him once again to face the dreaded ruler of Naggaroth. The profile given here represents Eltharion before his defeat at the hands of Malekith.

Eltharion the Grim, The Blade Reforged (http://uk.games-workshop.com/highelves/special-characters/6/)
When Malekith once again attacked Ulthuan, Eltharion, Warden of Tor Yvresse, was eager for battle. Mounted on Stormwing, he flew to Anlec, where Malekith's force had massed. He knew the Witch King would seek to claim his old throne in the ruined palace, and instead of leading the army in defence of the realm, Eltharion waited inside the ruins. The High Elf force was destroyed and when Eltharion confronted Malekith, the Witch King turned his dark powers on the impetuous Elf, wracking Eltharion with magic. The Witch King tried to force Eltharion to swear loyalty to him by threatening the survivors of the High Elf force. Eltharion refused and Malekith's Executioners beheaded the High Elves who had survived the battle outside the palace. The broken body of the Warden of Yvresse was returned to Ulthuan, blinded and barely alive. Belannaer tended to his wounds and Eltharion soon recovered, but his mental scars ran deep. Belannaer instructed Eltharion in the ways of the Swordmasters and the skilled Elf learned exceptionally quickly, soon becoming a match for the Master himself. Belannaer gave Eltharion command of the Swordmasters, a task that Eltharion relished.
Once again he met the Witch King, as Malekith's invasion broke through the Dragon Gate and into the Inner Kingdom. The Swordmasters had been ordered to aid the Handmaidens in their duty as guards to the Everqueen. When her forests came under threat, the Swordmasters rushed to the Everqueen's aid, and in the ensuing battle he wounded the Witch King. It was a feat that no mortal had ever achieved, but now Eltharion seeks to destroy Malekith and has taken the fight to Naggaroth. Even the calm words of Belannaer cannot stay his desire, and the Phoenix King has granted this special request. Belannaer holds on to a fragile hope that Eltharion will overcome the bitterness that burns within his heart, but also knows this is a war his pupil must fight on his own.

Alarielle, Everqueen of Avelorn (http://oz.games-workshop.com/games/warhammer/highelves/gaming/specialcharacters/everqueen.htm)
Ulthuan is co-ruled by the Everqueen, the chosen representative of Isha - the Elven goddess of earth, plants and forests. Alarielle is the name of the ruling Everqueen, and she is said to be the most beautiful to have borne the favour of Isha since the far off days of Astarielle. Where the Everqueen walks, the fields start to blossom and flowers spring forth from the ground. The white birds of Avelorn come to rest on her hand, and her silvery laughter rings throughout the blessed glades of the Gaen valley. Her flowing hair is like a golden cloud, and it is said that so great is her beauty that it can move even the immortal gods. Her power is that of nature itself, so when she mourns the skies weep with her, and when her eyes darken thunder roars across the Gaen valley.

Korhill, Hunter Captain of the White Lions (http://oz.games-workshop.com/games/warhammer/highelves/gaming/specialcharacters/korhil.htm)
When the Captain of the White Lions met his death at the hands of the Dark Elf Assassin, Urian Poisonblade, the bodyguard of the Phoenix King gathered to select a new leader from amongst their ranks. Their choice, approved and blessed by the Phoenix King, was the warrior Korhil.
It was Korhil who hunted and caught the great lion Charandis. This lion was a particularly dangerous, massive and ferocious creature mutated by the warping power of Chaos seeping from the magic-riven Annulii mountains. Though the great lion had slain many warriors, and countless innocent Elves besides, Korhil bravely wrestled the beast and slew it with his bare hands. His first taste of battle came soon afterwards. A Dark Elf reaver band ran riot in Chrace until they came to Korhil’s village where the young Elf slew their leader, Saurios Nightblade, in single combat. This was reckoned a great feat of arms, for Saurios was a master swordsman schooled by the Assassins of Naggaroth, whilst Korhil was still but a young lad.

The White Lions claim Korhil to be the strongest Elf in all Ulthuan, which may well be true, for he is without doubt amongst the tallest of all his kindred. Even so, he is no lumbering giant, but wields his long axe with a dexterity and grace that makes even his fellow White Lions appear cumbersome. His honest demeanour and noble bearing have won him many friends amongst the Lords of Ulthuan and other races besides.

My vote is in Teclis. Aside from being one of the most powerful mages in all of the Warhammer world. He was, also, instrumental in the development of the Empire's Eight Colleges of Magic. Aside from that, a direct descendant of Aenarion the Defender is hard to beat.

From defeating the Witch King Malekith in a magical duel. Banishing N'Kari, a Keeper of Secrets. Defeating an army of daemons during the Storm of Chaos. Being the High Loremaster of the White Tower of Hoeth. Teclis' resume is pretty extensive.

Went for Caradryan due to my love of the Phoenix Guard. Pity his character was so bland, he was the chosen of Asuryan but was weaker than most other HE heroes and all hee could do was kill the person who kills him with a single word!!

Nathar

MY vote won't come until the 3 last blurbs are coming. My vote will most likely go to Caradryan, Alith Anar or Eltharion while blind (which is ironic because he ought to be dead. I mean we've lost Urian and Kouran).

ALITH Anar, ALITH Anar!

One of a very few elves to have lived since the Sundering, apparently going purely on his own hate. He OWNS!

Alith Anar.

A being of pure hate, fighting for the right side for the wrong reasons?

Yeah, count me in.

Lorewise, I love them all.

However, being a Table Top player, I have to be biased and pick Tyrion. Arguably the best 1v1 challenger. It's great how people underestimate him.

VS Grimgor:

"Haha! He only has 4 attacks! What a wuss!"

*Grimgor is brutally slaughtered*

Probably Tyrion from this end as well. I just like him, can't really explain why.

Eltharion the Grim, The Blade Reforged.

I just really like him for some reason, he seems interesting to me, though it was close between him, Teclis, and Tyrion.

Teclis is my favorit, even though im a Dark Elf fanatic. A couple of years ago a friend of mine askt me to paint his Teclis since he for some weird reason thougth i was a good painter. With a bitter taste in my mouth i started painting the miniature, but soon discoverd how fun he was to paint. It took me 8 hours, but i learnd a lot about painting and it was really fun :D
Nowdays, i do get tears in my eyes seeing Teclis, remembering how fun we had together even though we were bitter enemys :D

Anyway, add Alith Anar and those two others descriptions! I wanna read about mister Alith Anar (he might have my vote).

The Elfologist
07-12-2007, 10:47 AM
I must say I find it rather surprising that Teclis has most votes. I was expecting either Alith Anar or Tyrion to win by a landslide. Then again, there aren't that many votes to speak of... :D

Konrad Siegesruf

My vote has to go with Alith Anar. Stealing a very precious magical stone from Morathi? Tricking her Witch Elves in drinking poisoned blood? Impaling 700 dark elves on cliffs with iron nails, that's pretty cool. :cool:

Anyways, here is Alith Anar's description.
Tradition maintains that the Nagarythe chose a new leader to rule over them after Malekith fled to west together with his mother Morathi. Of all the remaining great families only one remained untainted by the corruption of the Nagarythe court despite years of persecution at the hands of Morathi and her kin. Alith Anar was the heir of that line: his father Eothlir died young in battle, and his grandfather Eolaran the Proud was murdered in the dungeons of Anlec. In the shattered groves beneath the Dragon Pass the Nagarythe swore their pact of obedience to Alith Anar, and in oaths of blood they pledged their lives to the destruction of Malekith and all his followers.

In those days there were many Dark Elves still hiding in the lands of Ulthuan, and the Shadow Warriors busied themselves rooting out these vestiges of evil. All these tasks Alith Anar undertook with a vengeance, and soon there were few of the Dark Elf brigands that did not know and fear his name. As he attacked and burned each enemy encampment his fame grew. None were left alive. Those of his foes who survived the fighting were crucified upon the trees where those who passed could witness their grisly fate.

After the battle of Griffon Pass, Alith Anar captured seven hundred Dark Elves and had them nailed high upon the white cliffs overlooking the narrow valley, where they hung until they died, and then their corpses hung for years afterwards until their flesh rotted and their bones tumbled into piles beside the road. Such is the power of the place that these bones can be seen to this day, together with the red marks left by Alith Anar's iron nails upon the cliffs.

For years Alith Anar led his warriors against his enemies within Ulthuan. Later he led them against the newly raised fortresses of Naggaroth. The Shadow Warriors became a thorn in the Witch King's side, harassing his ships, ambushing his warriors, and plundering his convoys. There was nothing the Shadow Warriors would not dare. It was said that Alith Anar danced in disguise with Morathi as the court of the Witch King before stealing the Stone of Midnight from her treasury. Mortified, Morathi sent Witch Elves to hunt him down, but he tricked them into drinking poison mixed with blood, and so escaped to Ulthuan and the camp fires of the Shadow Warriors where his warriors hailed him as the Shadow King.

As to the fate of Alith Anar none can say. His heirs have ruled the wandering folk of Nagarythe ever since, though none have taken the title of Shadow King which remains his alone. They are the Aesanar, the sons of Anar, who even the Phoenix King has never knowingly met nor spoken to. Yet round the campfires of the Shadow Warriors they still speak of Alith Anar as a living warrior, an Elf of the shadows, a mortal spirit of vengeance, bound to walk the earth until the Witch King is laid to rest.

That's the description, not to mention he can in the TT rules stop time so he can escape, thanks to his Shadow Crown ^^.

Eltharion the Grim, The Blade Reforged.

He has fought shadowblade and lived. He could have taken him if shadowblade didnt fight dirty.

Shadowblade is the best assassin the darkelves got, some say the best assassin in the world.

It's close for me between Eltharion, 'The Blade Reforged', and Teclis. Eltharion is very aptly named as 'the Grim', and that's why I'm a fan of him- how severe and dark he is, and he's thus because he has a truly tragic past. Being tortured and blinded by Malekith only made him more so, and I think he's a great of example of the darkness that lies within every high elf's soul.

I like Teclis, on the other hand, because he's just such an amazingly powerful character. I've seen him used in the tabletop and he's awe-inspiring to watch. But he's also not a Gary Sue despite his power, thankfully, because he's frail and sickly without the potions to rejuvenate him. Plus high magic is such an important part of high elf culture and Teclis is almost like the living embodiement of high magic, so in a lot of ways I see him as a paragon of high elf-ness.
Another big reason I like him is that, as an Empire fan, he seems like he's a proponent of assisting the Empire, given his involvement in the Great War, the founding of the Colleges of Magic, and the events of the Storm of Chaos.

I'm not a huge high elf fan but I certainly think they have some good characters. I just wonder which Destruction will get to fight within Lothern...

One could argue that he isn't a HE. Not saying I want to (that'd be partly off-topic and might make some think I was trying to hi-jack. I'm NOT!) but it was before the seperation of our people. This could be an argument for not putting him there.

That said, he'd have my vote in BOTH dark elf and high elf lists. Noone tops him... at all!
He was a god amongst men.. scratch that, he was a god, period!

Close between Eltharion and Imrik.
Imri has one of the strongest dragons in the game and his model looks so cool but Eltharion is a swordmaster and whether in the model collection or the online game swordmasters r my favourite class, so i choose ELTHARION.
but Alith-Anar comes from Nagarythe and the first model i eva painted was a shadow warrior so i feel very attached 2 them, but there is no model 4 him.

Imrik, I always had a soft spot for the dragon princes of Caledor. From all the Asur, they come closest to the Martial prowess of the Druchii.

However, being a Table Top player, I have to be biased and pick Tyrion. Arguably the best 1v1 challenger. It's great how people underestimate him.

VS Grimgor:

"Haha! He only has 4 attacks! What a wuss!"

*Grimgor is brutally slaughtered*

2+ wardsave + ressurection for the win :) It's too bad for the high elf players that he no longer has his 2+ ward save, and can no longer ressurect. Now he really is a wuss ;)

Actually Raistlin was fleshed out first IIRC, back in 84'. That's before Teclis appeared in a novel, though I think his character was also inspired by Elric of Melnibone to a lesser extent. LOL, suddenly I pictured Caramon in Tyrion's place, "Look Teclis! BUNNIES!"...

WTF! Was this a 7th edition change?

If so, that's freaking . That's the only fracking thing that made Tyrion worth 500 points. He better be waaaayyy cheaper and not take up two slots now.

Actually, screw it. Unless they increased his attack capability, they just kicked the lore in the balls.

Boo for GW and their inability to see that WS and I =/= pwnage.

Well, he got regeneration instead of that being revived-thing, so he's still pretty hard to kill. Other than that I think that they dropped his points and made him only take a lord slot. AND they made that silly horsey of his a normal mount instead of an attackable monster!

As for the favorite character... I'd have to say Alith Anar, though his new model is horrible.

I second that statement: Eltharion = WF's 'Daredevil' :rolleyes:...

Personality wise, Teclis is a bit like Severus Snape on a good day ;). Now Teclis might be a cripple but he more than makes up for it with his magical skills. On top of that he is one of the only Asur who thinks his people's cultural myopia is a major problem, so he is my favorite HE character.

Yes, lore. Very, very cliche lore. Teclis all the way, Loremasters or bust!

If your going to bring up cliches...

Shadow King = Anti hero, out for vengence (ex: Punisher, Batman, Shadaw.. every protagonist from every action movie ever mad...)

Tyrion = Bog standard holier than thou hero type (ex: He-Man, Captain America, Captain Marvel, Cyclops, Superman...)

Tecils = Aw come on.. A sickly elf with damn near deity like powers and the ability to re-shape the world if he really wanted to? Theres a whole freaking series about such a character, and its a OLD series. An Albino elf prince, might have been a hemopheliac. blew a horn that reshaped the world upon his death..
(Can't remember the name of the series if anyone knows please message me or post the name.)

Korhil = It has to be said... A weirdo who wears white fur all the time, is obsessed with tigers, and hangs with a bunch of other guys who have the exact same proclivities as he does :rolleyes: (ex: Siegfried and Roy, Cruella De Ville, Queer Eye for the Straight Guy)

Athenys
11-19-2007, 02:26 AM
You also forgot to mention the potions/elixirs that keep both of them from keeling over as soon as they crawl out of bed :rolleyes:. Teclis doesn't have an evil soul-sucking sword though...YET. Eventually he will off a prominent DE and thus wield the 'poker of Khaine' or whatnot, just wait and see. IMHO being Elric's Asur alter-ego still beats being based on a Marvel Character :p. Tyrion as He-Man *snigger*, now all we need to do now is set him up with a white lion mount! Come to think of it Alarielle is a bit like the Sorceress and Morathi like Evil Lyn O_o...

So little love for Korhil...sad. I think his reputation as the strongest of the Elves is pretty cool. And you gotta love that whole woodsman vibe. Oh yeah, and he fights with a huge axe. :D

To be honest I don't like any of them. None of the High Elf characters strike me as interesting at all, just the same tired elf cliche characters. The weak mage, blind swordsman, heroic commander etc.

Here's to hoping that Games Workshop invents some High Elf characters with personality.

The Dark Elf ones are much more interesting yes, a daemon possesed one that has to drink potions to stay awake for if he falls asleep the daemon takes over, a Beastlord that can tame even dragons to do his bidding, an assassin so skilled he assasinated the entire crew of a high elf dragon-ship in a matter of days (okey maybe not so original), etc..etc..:mrgreen:

Being a fan of magic this is a no brainer, Teclis. Althouhg Alith Anar is cool though just for the mere fact he stole from Morathai and has a bow that can impale multiple enemies at once if they are dumb enough to try for a rank bonus. Plus if they are Dark Elves they have to take a Panic test.


I like this revised Eltharion. He seems just as Unstable as his latter blind self. Crazy Badasses rule

Atleast I got the full details of Eltharion's raid on Naggaroth, that crazy fellow raided the bloody city Naggarond with a Trojan Horse tactic :D.

ive just read trhis again and guys Alith Anar is the SHADOW KING .. not prince he wears the shadow crown

Korhil = It has to be said... A weirdo who wears white fur all the time, is obsessed with tigers, and hangs with a bunch of other guys who have the exact same proclivities as he does :rolleyes: (ex: Siegfried and Roy, Cruella De Ville, Queer Eye for the Straight Guy)

korhils alot more buff than any of those .. and none of those have a giant axe his axe would put a chosens to shame and well hes an elf

So after Eltharion is returned to his previous state and thus there is no Eltharion the Grim... who is the master of Swordmasters in the White Tower of Hoeth. Is there a special Swordmaster character in the new army book?

Hasn't the master of the Swordmasters in both 6:th and 7:th been Belannear?
At least according Chronicles 2004. I'll qoute:


Lord of Hoeth
In the white tower, Eltharion is now only second to Belannear himself, and often commands the army of Hoeth.

Sorry let me rephrase I was not clear I think :( Is there any special character hero in the armybook for Swordmasters now? I know Belannear is the master of Swordmasters...but he is not a playable hero...but Eltharion was so I consider him as the ACTIVE master of Swordmasters at least back in the 6th edition. So is there anyone now in 7th? Shadow warriors have Alith, White Lions have Korhil....what about swordmasters...

Dang I knew this answer was comming :( Never understood why they took Eltharion off the Swordmaster regiment and his blindness and put him back with his griffon..

Would've been lovely if we had gotten Belannear as a character, a more powerful Sword Master who is able to cast High Magic spells, and he should also be able to wear heavy armor while he does it too :p.

My favorite is definately Alith Anar.

How could you not like the leader of the shadow warriors?

You know, I might have to take my vote back. While Tyrion in the fluff is cool and all (fine general, excellent duelist, etc.), I have to say Korhil is pretty damn cool too. His artwork in the 7th ed book is very appealing. He looks handsome and well groomed, but at the same time savage and strong. Not to mention, he won a challenge vs a Chaos Lord in my last TT battle (lucky dice roll, but I could just imagine the combat :D)

Well, the ole swordsmasters have Hallar, one of only a very few people alive, I think, to have beaten a Bloodthirster in a duel, and probably the only one to have beaten it without the help of a god or some quite wacky mutations(read: Vampirism or being handily Everchosen).
