I don't think they flopped, but they clearly didn't set the world on fire. I would say the main issues are
-Elfs are supposed to be pretty and most of a standard army is going to be Namarti. Blind fish elves who you know are always damp and smell a bit
-The premise of the army is basically Dark Eldar, but the aesthetic doesn't show that at all. People who would want to play evil soul stealing elfs want models that LOOK like evil soul stealing elfs.
-corollary to that, people who like the look of the army and want to play beach elfs aren't going to be thrilled that the lore is they are the most evil faction in Order. And they are going to be especially not thrilled to find out that all the mounts have their brains broken to be able to accept the touch of these shitty elfs.
In short, not pretty enough but too pretty for their evil lore.
