Quick correction, you seem to have made a typo putting Dark Elves where you meant to put High Elves.
Also, the Dark/High Elves will be added in a standalone expansion as they are in the New World(So are the Lizardmen and 1 clan of Skaven). I think that expansion will include naval combat, so the Dark Elves will likely get a Black Ark Fleetmaster as an Admiral Lord.

I'm guessing CA are not going to implement actual Black Arks, though... are they?

Damn!

If these factions are sold as a DLC I think that your expectations are far too high. It seems that (to CA point of view) one kind of non-legendary lord and 2 kinds of heroes if enough for a DLC faction. Moreover, implementing big monsters that cannot be reused costs too much for a DLC that is only sold 20$.

For example for the High Elves you should expect something like that:
Legendary Lords: Either Tyrion and Teclis Or Alarielle and Finubar (who are the real faction leaders)
Lords: Elf Prince
Heroes: High Mage, Elf noble
Mounts: Elven Steed, Great Eagle, Griffon
Melee Infantry: Spearmen, Sword Masters, White Lions, Shadow Warriors, Phoenix Guard
Missile Infantry: Archers, Seaguard
Melee Cavalry: Silver Helms, Dragon Princes
Missile Cavalry: Ellyrian Reavers
Monstrous Infantry:N/A
Monstrous Cavalry: N/A
Vehicles: Tiranoc Chariot (OR Lion Chariot of Chrace)
Artillery: Eagle Claw Bolt Thrower
Monsters: None (it would cost too much)
If they are part of a standalone we could have a bit more but don’t expect too much.

I believe the High Elves, Dark Elves and Lizardmen are coming as an expansion, so not just a DLC. I imagine this would give them a lot more variety in their units/characteristics.
