Caradryan has the same profile as a standard High Elf Noble level character.
This hero costs an extra 86pts more than a normal noble with heavy armour (which, I think is quite a lot, unless he dies in combat ! see below)

My Conclusion
I find Caradryan a little bit expensive for my tastes. However he does have some quite unique abilities. I think he makes a great character against certain armies, like Tomb Kings or even better Wood Elves. It's that flaming blade and his overall resistance to harm. He is not likely to do a lot of damage because his blade is only strength 4 but he and his unit of Phoenix Guards should stick around for a while and, if he does die (let's say in combat with a Bone Giant or Treeman), it could be a battle changing event - in your favour !
