Hi all!

I finally begin my DE army and of course there's one thing to do before everything else : find the right colour scheme!

I've already thought of some fluff for this army, something about a serment sealed between a cabal, a witch cult and a coven. It'll be represented on theire armor by a orange/yellow tone applied from the helmet to right hand, the rest of the body colour depending of the cast of the model.

I've made a first colour test with photoshop and would love some critical feedback from you guys, especially for the witch cult red that I don't find really original... What would match better with dark turquoise and orange/yellow?

I can dig it.

Quite nice color scheme but i think that it is more apropriate for Eldar but not for _Dark_ Eldar, you should check and try some darker colours, imho.

I like it (but then I would lol - check out my P&M blog on here... )

Would it be an idea to keep the helm, right arm and loincloth consistent throughout the force, and just change the body colour for the type of troop?

Where did you get those templates from? ^

Are there others?

I like the scheme

It's not bad, if you like brighter colors.

If you like it, keep to it. Personally, mine are going darker (Black, violet, silver).

Ditto: Where can I get my hands on templates like that? Photoshop testing would be awesome.

Thanks all for the advices, they were very useful I think I have played a little too much with ork clan's colors...
So I've reconsidered my army scheme to have more cohesion and unity, only leaving the incubi with switched colors as they don't really take part in "the sacrament" (I'll give you the details later, certainly in a short novel or something) and are just playing the rôle of bodyguards and elite troops. I've also switched the side of the sacrament colour because I just noticed that the witches only have armor on the left side



That beeing said I also thought about army symbols and eraldic, espacially for my Coven : The eyes of Moloch

This is the official design, but it will be adapted to different forms and shapes on the miniatures, the eye being the focus.

I've been really inspired by the graphics of the eyes of Asura, the antagonist in the manga "Soul Eater". They are supposed to represent madness and insanity, and with straighter traits and a little classy touch they'll do just fine for my haemonculi ^^

PS : and for those who wanted the template
