Hi Guys,

Been cruising the forums for a while but this is my first time posting. I'm fairly new to wargaming and not long ago I bought a second hand case which came with some Fantasy High Elves. I didn't really have a plan or use for them but now a couple of my mates are playing AoS. So I'm wondering if I can use these models to have some games with them. I've also been trying to figure out exactly what I have but I'm not finding any easy way to match the models to the names in the battle tomes. I've attached some photos, so hopefully someone can help me and maybe let me know if you think this army is a viable option for AoS.

Thanks in advance!

3 are High Elf Spearmen(Spear-elves?)
2 are High Elf Archers
3 are Phoenix Guard (https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/High-Elf-Phoenix-Guard) 7 is their champion
4 are more spearmen
5 are Lothern Seaguard
6 are Swordmasters of Hoeth (Specifically the plastic ones from Isle of Blood/Dawnspire set, i *think*? If they're metal, they're the metal swordmasters ), plus a Phoenix Guard standard bearer
8 14 17 18 all appear to be parts associated with the Repeater Bolt Thrower
11 I think is an archer champion
10 probably an older Mage, maybe a Loremaster of Hoeth? - edit: actually, this might be the plastic mage from the Isle of Blood/Dawnspire set
9 is either Alarielle or a Handmaiden of the Everqueen
12 13 15 and 16 all look like champion figures for the units.
12 and 15 being lothern sea guard
13 being spears
16 being Swordmasters

Most of them will be in here, rather than a battletome!

Sadly, no pictures to go with the entries, so I hope I've given enough to go on.

Some models there are sorted into the wrong group, such the sea guard champion mixed it with the swordmasters.

You can sort them by their gear.

Spear, shield, - spearmen
Spear, shield, bow (usually slung on the back) - seaguard/spireguard
Longbow, no armor - archers
Halberds, winged helmets, fire decals - phoenix guard
Greatswords - swordmasters

Thanks very much to both of you for the feedback and to helping me sort these out. Hopefully I can sort them out into a bit of a list now. I just had no idea where to start!

10 is built from the dual archmage kit, 9 is the mage from IoB.
