Silent Wardens of the Sacred Flame
Having witnessed the true timeline of the universe within the Chamber of Days, the Phoenix Guard have taken a magical vow of total silence. They march into battle without a word, creating a terrifying aura of calm confidence that unnerves even the most hardened foes.

Every miniature features ornate breastplates, heavily detailed helmets, and massive halberds, capturing the pride and sorrow of the Elven race in spectacular detail.
The Elite Bulwark of Ulthuan
In the grand strategies of Warhammer: The Old World, the Phoenix Guard serve as a premier Special choice for the High Elf Realms. They are designed to stand fast where ordinary troops would falter, making them the ultimate bodyguard unit for your Archmages and Nobles against aggressive enemy assault units.
Key Benefits of the Phoenix Guard
- Exceptional defensive rules that make them one of the hardest infantry units to remove from a board objective
- Highly detailed and rewarding models to paint, offering beautiful surfaces for metallics and cloth shading
- Great box value providing 20 full models along with components for a prominent command squad
Tactical Performance
- Heavy Cavalry and Monsters: Thanks to their high-strength halberds, they can reliably pierce heavy armor plates and chop down massive beasts.
- Shooting and Magic Armies: Their magical ward and high leadership protect them from being easily whittled down by ranged bombardments during their advance.
- Strategic Summary: While they excel against elite forces and heavy hitters, they can sometimes be bogged down by massive hordes of cheap troops due to their high points cost. Pair them with supporting archers or fast cavalry to protect their flanks.
