These are my Dark Eldar, so far just have the squad of warriors done, working on Wyches.

The scheme is inspired by someones scheme on these forums that I saw once. Although slightly different. I am looking for any constructive criticism.

Cool,i like the whip.

Very nice colour scheme, the gold really compliments the blue, and the purple skin/red har also fits the blue very nicely

The whip does look cool Good job!

VERY nice models, all in all!

As far as criticism goes, there are a few things I might recommend. The shading on the whip looks awesome, but I don't feel like the same attention was given to your armor highlights - they're a bit too stark in contrast, and are sharp around the edges. I'd try backing the color down one shade, or better yet, use two colors blended for your highlights. Additionally, the dark blue of your armor looks a bit flat wherever you don't have highlights. To fix this, you might try using a wash or glaze (Devlan Mud, maybe? Or a black base?) before doing your highlights. This might help give some depth and variation to the shadows. The gold on your armor works very well with the blue, but it could use a bit more highlighting on the sharp edges of the upturned blades. Finally, I'd be sure to give the tabard a wash of some kind before painting the bones. Devlan Mud would work here, but I think Gryphonne Sepia might work better. You might actually do a Skull White base on the tabard followed by the wash - that should pull it down to about the color you have now, but with more depth and distinction from the bones.

Honestly, the only color on this I'm not too fond of is the pink highlights, especially on the guns. It kind of works okay with the blue, but becomes somewhat glaring on the gold of the weapons.

Again, GREAT paint job! The detail work is impressive, and the basing is spectacular. Keep it up!

Very good. Only one problem...

Why would you choose a splinter cannon instead of a darklance???
