Editing High Elves (Warhammer Fantasy) (section)

== In Age of Sigmar ==
Unfortunately, the High Elves (or Aelves, but not even Age of Sigmar players call them that) were arguably the faction with the most damage done to them in the transition between the two systems, being split up into five subfactions (Eldritch Council, Swifthawk Agents, Lion Rangers, Order Draconis, Phoenix Temple) for no particular reason. So far, none of these subfactions have been reconsolidated back into one faction, expanded into their own distinct model range, or even given faction rules in the General's Handbook.

UPDATE: New battletome announced! They’re being souped in with all the other order factions GW likes to forget exist ([[The_Empire_(Warhammer_Fantasy)|Empire]], dwarfs, other elves) but better than nothing.

UPDATE 2: Oh no. Massive squat of order models just happened, and as of the time this is being written, high elves have 4 units left, and they're all "Last Chance to Buy". The High Elves are going the way of [[Bretonnia]] and [[Tomb Kings|Nehekhara]].

UPDATE 3: The above is still basically true, but they're not entirely gone, we still have the Phoenix Guard, Flamespyre/Frostheart Phoenix kit, and the Shadow Warriors (I'd guess the Shadow Warriors are gonna be added to Shadowblades or something since they're the only Swifthawk Agents left? Idk). Anyway, according to the Cities of Sigmar preview from Gen Con, all the Last Chance to Buy units will be made into a Warhammer Legends PDF like the Dark Elves got a while ago, which means warscrolls for the whole faction from Fantasy, but unfortunately no Matched Play points.

UPDATE 4: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=977qaeqBTzw they're coming back, and they're pointier then ever]

UPDATE 5: The official new name for the High Elves in AOS are the [[Lumineth Realm Lords]], created in Hysh by the big man Teclis after screwing up with the Deepkin. Which is not to say this draft was a slam-dunk. In fact, pride and jealousy lead to a civil war that ended up letting chaos into Hysh. These days, they take a dim view of emotion. Never touch the stuff, instead using realmstone to bottle up their inner darkness. The Lumineth are a forward thinking-civilisation, so of course their long term strategy is "bottle it up and hope for the best".
