I'll give you Wood Elves, to a certain extent, but as far as I know, there are currently no female High Elves, and the female Dark Elves exemplify the two trends that I said were wrong with depictions of women in Warhammer, namely, that they're either

1) victims, vixens, or love interests (Dark Elf, and for that matter Dark Eldar women, are all vixens)

and/or

2) babes-in-bikinis.



Actually when you buy a pack of dark elves( not sure about the other elf races) core units like warriors at least 1/4 of them will be female models.
(Mutate)I know that was a bit far back in the thread and i had not read it all then, now i have and its a great topic
