My favorite paintjob of any army has to be Phil Kelly's Dark Eldar, which had a Halloween-esque paintjob going. It's what inspired me to forgo the typical

DE. Honestly, I think it has more to do with the mentality most people carry about the
40k universe; everything is a more dingy, subdued tone. Personally, I think vibrant colors are much prettier on most xenos', and I like to think
DE in particular are badass enough that they'll run into a fight with bright armour
