Hi guys I am a sorta newish painter (painted a few sm and a couple orks from the AoBR box) but I decided Eldar is gonna be my new project that will hopefully evolve into a army. But I have four schemes that I saw that I like, one is fairly simple (mostly black with orange stuff thrown in) but the other three Im not so sure what paints I would need... So if anyone would be able to help me figure this out I owe you my gratitude.

The first one seems to be the most simple of A light icy blue with orange, I assume the orange is blazing orange but not sure what the blue is... http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2012/11/26/435088_md-Blue,%20Craftworld,%20Eldar,%20Gem,%20Guardians,%20Orange.jpg

the next one I like for sure and see moot green in my near future but what paints would I need for the purple?

And the last one I likely to be far out of my skill level but I cant help but to want to "try" it... No idea on any of the needed paints.

Tha is it I think, if I could just get a few names for the paints I need for each one (or just the first two would be fine) for my shopping list I would appreciate it!

In the first, the blue appears to be Ice Blue (Lotharn Blue). In the second I would say Liche Purple (Xereus Purple). The last, well, you're on your own. The blues look to be maybe Regal Blue wet blended, or layered, into Ice Blue wet blended, or layered, into white, then glazed. The green, IDK.

Thanks much, I cant decide which one I like... the Purple/green or blue/orange I saw a youtube video on someone doing a tutorial on how to paint a grid effect and I thought that would look spiffy on the warp spiders and looks like something even a noob can pull off with some practice. So maybe I will paint two to see what one looks better and then lata strip the other one.

Here is the video if anyone is interested.
