I recently purchased a DE battalion box after deciding on returning to Warhammer along with my mate who is starting his dwarves. Have been sailing all around google only to have no luck finding much paint schemes for what I want to do.

Here is the list of paints me and my mate purchased:

Chainmail silver
Skull white
Chaos black
Sunburst yellow
Shining gold
Regal blue
Ultramarines blue
Dark angels green
Elf flesh
Dwarf flesh
Liche purple
Bronzed flesh
Blood red
Bad moon yellow

Foundation paints:
Tallarn Flesh
Mechrite Red
Mordian Blue
Knarloc Green
Undercoat black
Calthan Brown
Iyanden Darksun
Gunmetal
White

Washes:
Badab black
Asurmen Blue

I would like advice on what colours you would use together to get an arctic feel for the army. Done some experimenting with a Corsair and found a somewhat good scale work for the cloak using Regal blue layer, then ultramarines blue with a Badab black wash and a light skull white drybrushing onto the scales (which will correspond to the colour of Cold Ones). Any help would be appreciated if there is a better method to go with. So really I want my Weapons to have a blue shade while trying to keep the purple armour a viable option and not clash.

Thanks in advance!

I would like to see a theme that no one ever done on dark elves before.

Something white. With Red cloth, armor trimmed with black and gold.

There is something really awe inspiring and dangerouse when you see something evil clad in white.

Like Star Wars stormtroopers and Albino crocodiles!

Or a bride in wedding gown carrying an axe.

I really rate black japanned armour with gold trim.
Use gloss varnish on smoothly applied black to make it really pop.
