Quick post for my Dark Eldar army I have started, not played a 40k game in years but have been pretty tempted by these for a while.

I have to paint:

Lelith
Archon

20 Warriors
10 Wyches
5 Incubi

Raider
5 Bikes

Not a huge army, small 1000pt start but manageable at least, ill leave a pic with the painted models so far (though not many)

Great colour scheme! The one's helmet in the middle of the largest picture seem quite odd though, maybe a bad view or something?
The colour scheme reminds me of CSM Night Lords.
I'm totally keeping my eye on this topic.

[Colonel Cleric]

Small update.

Ive changed the helm on the 'dodgy' looking warriors, hoping it looks a little better.

Also attempted object source lighting for the first time, not sure if it looks decent or not so ill see what people say before I extend it to every other model.

[Cragum]

looking great there! how many are you on now?

[Colonel Cleric]

Just the 4 so far, still trying to work out the final scheme and need to know whether the OSL looks good enough or not.

[The Laughing God]

That blue looks exactly like mine. Great minds think alike.
I love the OSL, really makes the model pop.

[Yorrik]

I'd go ahead with the OSL if I were you. It makes the models stand out, but the sickly green maintains a sort of sinister feel. I'm in full support!

[Colonel Cleric]

Update time, stuck with the OSL on the eyes only, let me know what you think please and ill get cracking on the rest of the 10 man squad!

The face hasnt come out too well in the photo, IRL you can see wrinkles and such, looks quite sick and frail like a Kabalite should do

I think it looks great; Very eye catching.

[Colonel Cleric]

Thanks man, I checked out your log, and our schemes are pretty similar, I originally went for blue/yellow as well but changed it to green simply because of the 'poisoned' weapons, I thought the green would look a little more sinister. I especially like your raider and the way it looks as though it is gliding past the statue.

Tried to get a pic with better light without flash.
