I'm a bit tired of all the dark and black color schemes I've been seeing of dark eldar, and wanted to do something brighter but still have it represent. I've just started to do basecoats but it's starting to look dark and boring. What color combinations could help me brighten it up and look sharp? All opinions are helpful. Thanks!

I have done mine in a bone armor with dark red highlights.

How about a deep green and purple combination, like the incredible hulk but perhaps darker. With a bit of weathering I think it could work really well.

Although those fliers would make me paint them as hobgoblins.



Of course, there's no reason you can't have uniform colour schemes per unit in an army. I would probably paint all the dudes on hoverboards as hobgoblins and all the footmen in hulk colours. If you have insignias etc, they'll tie together nicely anyway.

Bone DE are quite nice.
