Dragons of Caledor: These special rules below represent the Dragon skills that the Elves of Caledor possess, as well as the close bond between the riders and Dragons. These rules only apply to High Elves riding Dragons, not to Dragons ridden by other races or to unridden Dragons.

Dragonrage: If a Dragon's rider is slain then you must roll on the Monster Reaction Table to determine what the Dragon does. When rolling on this chart add +1 to the dice score. This means a Dragon will never fly away from battle. If you roll a 6 then you may choose any result you wish from the Table.

Dragon Tamer: If a High Elf character riding a Dragon is fighting in hand-to-hand combat against another Dragon then the enemy Dragon must take and pass a 2D6 Leadership test before it attacks. This test is only taken once at the start of the combat, and the enemy Dragon will either fight for the duration of the combat or refuse to fight for the entire combat. If the Dragon refuses to fight it will not strike blows or use its breath at all. However, a Dragon will only refuse to fight as long as it is not attacked itself. Should the Dragon be attacked it will always fight back.

Re-Roll Break or Psychology Test: When fighting Dark Elves, High Elves may re-roll any Break test in hand-to-hand combat, or psychology test, so long as either the army General or army standard bearer remains on the battlefield and is not fleeing. This replaces the normal re-roll rule for a unit/character breaking within 12" of the battle standard. Only one re-roll can be taken, even where a re-roll from some other source might otherwise apply. It is not permitted to re-roll a failed re-roll.

High Elf Citizen Levy: When it comes to battle the High Elf citizen army has an advantage over other races:

Spears - A High Elf infantry unit armed with spears is allowed to fight with one extra rank compared to normal troops. The front rank kneels, placing his trust in the second ranker to lean over and protect him, whilst the third ranker closes up and arcs his spear over his companions.

So, when stationary, a High Elf spear unit can fight in three ranks rather than two, and when they move they fight in two ranks rather than one.

This extra rank only applied to spear-armed units of infantry, and only when fighting in a normal formation of ranks and files. Skirmishers cannot benefit, nor can spear-armed charioteers or cavalry.

Bows - High Elf infantry armed with bows or longbows can shoot with two ranks of troops even over the flat, where the second rank is normally unable to see. The front rank kneels to shoot, allowing individuals immediately behind to shoot as well. When calculating shooting, a model in the second rank can shoot so long as he can seehis target as if the rank in front of here were not there.

High Elf archers can thus shoot in two ranks rather than one.

This extra rank is only permitted to bow- or longbow-armed units of infantry, and only when fighting in a normal formation of ranks and files. Skirmishers cannot benefit, and neither can bow-armed charioteers or cavalry.

Ithilmar Armour: If High Elves wear 'heavy armour' this will always be made of Ithilmar. Consequently, High Elves suffer no movement penalty for wearing heavy armour.

If an Elven Steed is equipped with barding it does suffer the usual -1" penalty. A Dragon Prince wearing heavy armour and carrying a shield, riding a barded Elven Steed will therefore move 9"-1" (barding) = 8".
