That was my thought too,the elves have the best magic in the WFB after the lizardmen and they could anahilate a dwarf army with some spells alone.yet the dwarfs have the resistance rule which makes them more resistant against magic,if you bring some runesmiths along and even worse an anvil of doom the dwarfs can shut down the entire magic phase of any enemy even elves with relative ease,not to mention that dwarf rune magic works the same in any area of the warhammer world unlike normal magic. Especially not if the Dwarfs bring an Anvil of Doom to contest their magic. I'd go with the High Elves due to magic superiority but I still wouldn't bet on it. And they should because they won't last long in a fight with Dwarfs. Given that Elves have much more variety in magic, they can buff their soldiers to cause some serious damage. Elves have the easy win in magic because the Dwarfs don't have any. Before that I think it was mostly a stalemate.Дwarfs have the easy win in artillery and range because cannons and many guns. But that could easily be attributed do a hasty, arrogant Elven King who underestimated his enemy and got killed charging their lines combined with a sudden Dark Elf attack on Ulthuan which forced them to quit their war with the Dwarfs.
