Editing Warhammer/Tactics/6th Edition/High Elves (section)

=== Rare Units ===
* '''Phoenix Guard:''' At 15 points way too expensive for what they do which is a shame since the unit looks amazing. Only situation they will be useful is against undead armies but otherwise they are a luxury if you take them over Swordmasters and waste a rare slot on them.
* '''Repeater Bolt Thrower:''' Must-have essential unit. Bring at least one or better two of them. They are your best source of shooting. Don't forget the regular bolt option if you fire at monsters and focus their fire. At 2000 points it is not a bad idea of thinking about 4 of them. They are amazing because they are good against basically any target and deal well against enemies that the high elves are otherwise not great against - high toughness and save throw units / characters / monsters.
* '''White Lions:''' Good against some enemies and very reasonably priced. Strength 6 attacks and good defense against shooting is great for an elven unit. Overall, they suffer from being in the rare slot though and if attacked they will become a point grave pretty quickly.
* '''Giant Eagles:''' 1-2 as one rare slot. The other great rare unit that every elven army should consider. For 50 points they are the best at redirecting and great at warmachine hunting. With 3 wounds they can also take some hits. If you don't bring 4 repeater bolt throwers at 2000 points get yourself 1-2 eagles.
