	Wizard elves with some dragons and sword guys thrown in. These guys can be fielded as a stand-alone army in matched play as they have battleline units. They are also very useful as a magic-and-monster allied faction to support other Order armies which are lacking in these departments.		Wizard elves with some dragons and sword guys thrown in.
