Are there any instances of Eldar aspect warriors wearing the colours of their craftworld as opposed to those of their aspects?
I know that Eldar aspects are generally given their own colour schemes (blue for DA, green for striking scorpions etc), as opposed to wearing the colours of their craftworld, but I would like to make an army which feels like a single unit, with the same colour themes running through it.

I was thinking I could paint my army with a common theme and colours, but with slight differences here and there to represent aspect (like having just helmets of the aspect colour or something), but I'm not sure if that is allowed under the lore. Any opinions?

It's your army, go for it!

I paint mine like;

Say I have a banshee, her aspect colour is bone/cream. Paint the bone/cream on the armour, but paint the helmet the craftworld colours.

OR do it like DOW. all colours are of the craftworld.

I have seen armies in White Dwarf battle reports have Aspect Warriors that had the paint scheme of the Craftworld, rather than the Aspect. They were both Howling Banshee squads, one of Ulthwe and the other of Alaitoc. It worked rather well on them.

Also, what Castiel said.

Ok thanks all
Just wanted to know I wouldn't be breaking any vitally important conventions by doing it :p
