After seeing all the incoming Dark Eldar I have been thinking of some color schemes for my army.

Obviously black is a popular choice but I would like to see more unique Dark Eldar.

I listed some ideas below and some concept type images. What would you like to see?


BLACK


CYBERPUNK


BRIGHT


MULTIPLE

Black is the most popular. But maybe not ALL black. With a Red helmet and some gold spikes.

I can already hear the thumping bass notes in the background as a kabal of neon, gyrating rave kids I mean Dark Eldar arrive 6" from me one turn one before just freaking out from all the E I mean combat drugs they are on.

Well you’ve convinced me! Now the only question is where would a sub be on a Raider?

Not sure how to do a neon/rave style army I guess their main color would be black and just highlight with bright colors?

Black is hard to do. I would go for a very dark blue or purple, made mostly with black and black inking plus a very contrasting highlight. Pink/white for purple or ice blue.

I'm loving the cyberpunk, just fits with the army when I envision it in my head

Paint them in Slanneshi colors.

Pink/purple and black with a gray outline on the black armor.

Tron DE! I like it!

haha Tron Eldar, hmm those new bikes would suit that very well!

so does anyone know any good paint for miniatures which glow in the dark

There are plenty, local craft stores in Brissy sell that stuff so i'm sure they would have something similar in Perth. Ask around google/art stores.

Black and bright colors all the way.

Black with blues and purples etc would look cool

I basecoated mine black and then used midnight blue on top. Adding the most neon greens, purples or blues would definately work over that

While I think that black-and-neon colours (especially colour transistions) sounds really good to me, I'd refrain from using the term "cyberpunk". That's much more than looks.

I'm thinking the word you want is less "cyberpunk" and more "Blade Runner." Bonus points if you paint someone like Edward James Almos' character.
