Have recently started with DE and fairly happy with the first models, have made the scheme up as I and would love to hear people's views and critisisms for improvement!
Thanks for looking!

Very cool looking. The blue is a nice contrast to the orange.

I love the colors you used for the armor. Many props.

My reaction was to take said die, and hurl it out the window of the 3rd floor of our student union. I then placed a Commissar model next to the rest of my dice pile. They immediately began performing much better. |

Very nice scheme, how are you going to base them?

Thanks for the comments! Does anyone have any ideas where they could be improved? I think the guns are the weakest point but don't know how to make them better. The highlight isn't as bold as I had hoped.
For bases I'm debating wether to go for the sale style as my tyranids and gaming board (mud and grass) but with liberal applications of wet blood. I've recently discovered Tamiya x-27 and it's awesomeness when building a tervigon.
Or I'm tempted by the egg shell technique I've seen on here!

I really like the colours. For the bases I'd suggest a contrasting colour which really makes them pop. If I could think of one. Maybe a slightly blue tint of grey?

I too think grey would look good, but am not sure how to do it. I like the egg idea, but don't know if it will work with them all on the bases already! Any ideas?

Something like this:
Could be very cool if you decide to do with the eggshell technique. Or you can use a thin layer of greenstuff for it. Either way, I think a bone/desert would probably have a really nice "pop" effect.

Wow! That are some very cool dark eldar. Your blue and orange sheme looks great, i use these colours for my Eldar too, but i havent seen them used like this before. Keep it up.
And for the Base, an ice and snow based sheme would be awesome!

I did mine in the same colour scheme. I went for the same bases as in the Dark Eldar codex (Sand with grey rocks) but left off the grass. It complemented the red and orange armour nicely.

I've got almost 10 warriors nearly completed now, just the guns to do. Finished my Haemonculus today, what do people think?
The spine was a real pain, finecast rears it's ugly, holy head again.
Havn't decided on bases still yet, but will do these next!
All criticism very welcome!
