Knights of Tor Gaval are a 
High Elves melee cavalry unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer II with The Warden and the Paunch, available only to the 
Yvresse faction.
Recruitment[ | ]
Unlocked with: Mistwalkers' Citadel or Tor Yvresse (Spired Citadel)
Description[ | ]
Princes of Yvresse dislike fighting from the skies, for their homeland is swathed in a mist that makes flying a very dangerous proposition indeed. However, there were always those to flout convention. The Knights of Tor Gaval were one such group, having trained their entire lives to fight atop winged steeds amongst Yvresse's thick mists. Some rode Griffons, others Eagles – a few had even purchased Skycutters from the navy of Lothern. Thanks to the challenges of training in their murky homeland, the Knights of Tor Gaval were rightly said to be amongst the most talented of wingmen in all Ulthuan.
Attributes[ | ]
- Mistwalker Monstrous Cavalry
- ▲ Armoured: Armoured units can block damage from any source apart from Armour-Piercing damage.
- ▲ Armour-Piercing: The damage of armour-piercing weapons mostly ignores the armour of the target, making them the ideal choice against heavily-armoured enemies. They are often heavier and attack at a slower rate though, making them less efficient against poorly-armoured targets.
- ▲ Causes Terror: This unit can cause terror, making its melee target rout for a short time. Units that cause terror are immune to terror and fear themselves.

This unit is most similar to the Royal Hippogryph Knights on the Bretonnian roster. They have an absurd amount of health and can easily deal with any foe so long as they are not bogged down in anti-large infantry for a long time. They work great with healing support from Lore of Life or High Magic.
Trivia[ | ]
- The Knights of Tor Gaval are the only elven unit that does not have Martial Prowess or Martial Mastery.
