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.
