High Elves: Dragon Princes of Caledor Review

Dragon Princes, the High Elf heavy cavalry. They are decent heavy cavalry I say, they're not as good as Skullcrushers, yet they're not terrible. First of all statistics and equipment. They have good movement since they are riding elven steeds and have ilithmar barding so don't sacrifice any movement for barding. They are Elves so have always strikes first, low toughness, and low strength. They have weapons skill 5 which is above average and 2 attacks per model which is great. They will do good amounts of damage on the charge because of their lances, good weapon skill, and a good number of attacks. Do not charge anything with high strength because they will bring your nice 2+ armor save to something undesirable, perhaps even ignore it. So that's why you flank their other units because it is extremely doubtful that they will have an entire army with high strength. Charging units with great weapons could go good or bad for you. You will attack first but they do have high strength. In fact you'll attack first against most units so you just need to make sure that your judgement is good regarding charging high strength units. For upgrades full command is always nice I guess. You can block those nasty mega powerful tank-characters with champions so your whole unit doesn't get annihilated. You can give your champion a magic weapon if you want and have the points and can give your standard bearer a magic banner which can be useful depending on what banner it is. So Dragon Princes are a good high elf unit. They're quite balanced I think so it is always nice not use lots of cheese in your army so that not everybody hates you. So have fun with your Dragon Princes!!
