Once upon a time I was a teenager reading the 5th ed High Elves army book and I fell in love with Warhammer. I gathered a high elf army (as well as a greenskin waaagh!) over the years that was stubbornly always metal. I didn't like the plastics from 4th ed or 6th ed. Anyway, Age of Sigmar came and killed warhammer fantasy battles, and in a moment of financial need I sold my beloved metal High Elves.
I'm clearly in a better position today, given I have started collecting and playing Lumineth. I recently came into possession of one full set of the Island of Blood High Elves and another set of each of the units as well. On the one hand, Swifthawk Agents are sort of interesting, on the other getting a hold of a pair of Lothern Sky Cutters makes playing Lumineth look cheap...especially for an army that will never receive an update.
A part of me thinks I ought to leave these guys on their square bases and have no intent to use them in Age of Sigmar--but to simply paint them as a not-really-viable Warhammer 8th edition army (it's honestly not bad though and there's nothing a blob of phoenix guard can't remedy). Of course, I don't know anyone in my area that plays 8th edition...and 9th age isn't truly appealing to me.
Anyway, is there anyone else that would do the same and put in hobby time for a dead game? Would you sell them off? Keep them in a shoebox? I really enjoy these sculpts but their size difference next to the Lumineth rank and file is jarring. I guess I've talked myself into this course of action, but I'm also happy to be talked out of it.
