Chosen of Asuryan: High Elf Design Notes

November 2007·pp. 27–43

THE SHORT VERSION

Adam Troke rebuilds the High Elves around the identity found in their accumulated background: an ancient, dwindling people whose soldiers are exceptionally skilled. Always Strike First and a more generous selection of elite units make that identity visible in play, while three dragon ages and a Dragon Mage restore their old allies to prominence. Expanded history, character illustrations, themed armies and practical painting advice connect the revised rules with the visual and narrative character of Ulthuan.

The High Elves March to War

Grombrindal grudgingly admires the High Elves’ shining ranks while recording their author as another Elf-friend in his book of grudges. The new army book, chariot, heroes and dragon lead the issue, with a city campaign and Baneblade workshop extending Apocalypse coverage. Middle-earth monsters provide a final threat, making the editorial’s tour of the contents a characterful exchange between Dwarven pride and the appeal of impressive new armies.

Heroes of Ulthuan

The annotated plastic frames identify the pieces that turn one character set into a mounted Prince and a foot Noble, and another into an Archmage and Mage. Alternative heads, weapons and decorative fittings allow each figure to express a particular role and provincial identity. Studying the component keys makes it easier to plan a pair of complementary leaders and select their equipment before assembly.

Ancient Allies

Dragons are intelligent partners of the High Elves rather than domesticated mounts, with the bond between rider and beast developing over centuries. The account follows their retreat into the mountains of Caledor and the difficult rituals needed to awaken them. Impetuous Sun Dragons, veteran Moon Dragons and immensely old Star Dragons differ in temperament and power, while Dark Elf attempts to steal eggs threaten the survival of an already dwindling alliance.
