By any chance, could you post a picture of the colour of the armour plates and the colour of the inner jumpsuit switched? Ie. yellow/orange where the maroon is and maroon where the yellow-orange is.

I like the scheme as it is, but I really think it would be worthwhile to look at is this way.

Well, there are definately points to be given for the creative scheme. Nothing in the Craftworld looks like that. I like them....I would suggest maybe coming up with a name centered arounf the Phoenix bird....those colors remind me of it for some reason. Nice scheme

1000 points of Teil-Shan (my own scheme) Eldar Craftworld in progress
800 points of unassembled Urban themed Imperial Guard
650 points of my do-it-yourself Tempest Guard
675 points of Commoraghs finest!

Thanks for the idea. I think i will name them to something that translates to (in eldar talk) " Born from the ashes". What do you think?

That works with the Phoenix idea just fine . I think there is alot you could do with that idea as well, depending on your creativity level, so take it an run! Especially with your Serpents and Falcons you could paint feathers or come up with your own Phoenix logo. Best of luck! Also, I think you should stay with the original color scheme where red translates over as the primary color....it just looks more appealing to me personally

I'd really encourage changing the color of the jewels. I don't think it goes well with the Orange/Brown scheme... Not sure if the contrast between them is too much, but i don't think the baby blue suits them...

But basically, the Orange/Brown are surprisingly good... Warm, fresh colors, and i absolutely LOVE orange... Warm colors FTW!

How about a blood redish color for eyes/jewels/cloth? I think it'd fit the rest of the scheme very, very well!

Nah, blood red would just overpower the eye with red. A good spot of yellow or green would be more complimentary and visually pleasing.

I think it would be cooler with the orange armor plates. Looks good either way, though.

Thanks for the feedback everyone.

Everyone here seems to be saying to do green/blue/red/yellow spirit stones etc. Which do you reckon would look the best?

Green's the complement, but be wary of the Christmas Tree effect. I'd edge your green a bit towards the yellow side to avoid that.

Go with the first color scheme, the second has the red over powering. Link your craftworld with the Fire Dragons.
