Barded Ithilmar Steed

Barded Ithilmar Steed is a mount for the High Elves introduced in Total War: Warhammer II.

Description
An extremely light yet resilient material, Ithilmar gives the same protection as heavy steel, but without slowing down its wearer.

Strategy
Although few units have access to both the Elven Steed and the Barded Ithilmar speed, the unit gains 20-30 armour in exchange for 12 speed if the two are compared. This makes the unit more tanky, but not lightning fast.
