Content pack: The Warden & the Paunch. Immortal Empires ownership
- Requires The Warden & the Paunch for his Yvresse campaign in Immortal Empires.
Athel Tamarha and captured leaders
Choose High Elves and Yvresse in Immortal Empires. Eltharion’s Warden’s Cage can capture an enemy lord or hero defeated while under its effect. Prisoners enter Athel Tamarha, where interrogation and other decisions support the campaign.
Developing Athel Tamarha strengthens Yvresse’s defences, its protective mists and the Mistwalker troops associated with the Warden. Plan the upgrades around the army and territory you need to support. Capturing a useful prisoner begins with arranging a fight in which Eltharion can reach the target.
A commander with more than one role
Eltharion combines martial abilities with High magic and can ride the Griffon Stormwing. Use his mobility to reach a threatened engagement, then judge whether to fight, cast or attempt a capture. A large flying mount needs protection from concentrated shooting and anti-large enemies.
Keep the supporting line steady while he works. Spearmen can screen vulnerable troops and Sea Guard can cover an approach. Avoid pulling the entire formation apart simply to surround a character marked for capture.
The Warden’s army
Mistwalkers are part of Eltharion’s particular campaign identity. Ordinary High Elf troops still provide the foundation around those specialist choices; decide who will hold ground while the lord moves.
Caradryan can join through his own missions when his Tides of Torment content is owned. Alarielle offers another campaign concerned with Ulthuan’s defence, while Imrik follows the search for Dragons.
Yvresse, the cage, and Grom
Eltharion requires The Warden and the Paunch. Yvresse imprisons lords and heroes caught by the Warden's Cage and builds Athel Tamarha, its mists, and the Mistwalkers. He fights, casts High magic, and can ride the griffon Stormwing.
The same pack unlocks Grom the Paunch for the Greenskins. The 7 May 2020 FAQ calls them eternal nemeses and sets the release at 21 May 2020, for Eye of the Vortex and Mortal Empires, outside the Vortex race. Warhammer Community's 2023 archive piece puts Eltharion the Grim on a gryphon opposite Grom in the fourth-edition starter. Spearmen and Lothern Sea Guard still hold the Elven line.
