So I have gone back and forth on what color to pliant my eldar and just decided to paint them using the most aesthetically pleasing Craftworld colors. My question is what the community thinks is the most appealing.

Right now, I am leaning towards Biel Tan but I am still trying to swallow the colors on the tanks. On troops, I think it really pops.

I'm a big fan of my Iyanden army. The bright yellow and blue contrasts nicely with most of the standard aspect colors, and there's nothing like the bragging rights you get from being able to paint yellow.

Saim Hann is red and white. They contrast well with the aspect warriors.

Gotta remember with Biel-Tan, it's not a solid green for the vehicles. It's actually more like a super dark green that has somewhat of a camo-pattern on it. GW official art has that same kind of green splotchy camo thingy going on with all their Biel-Tan tanks and larger things like Vaul Support Batteries. Same thing with Alaitoc, actually, just with blue.

Personally I like Ulthwé. Black and bone looks pretty cool anyway, but the additional lightning patterns are really neat, and using such dark colors really makes gemstones pop if you use bright reds and blues to color those in.

Mymeara's turquoise and emerald scheme does it for me.

Eldar are inferior. Dark Eldar will rule! But really, I like the craftworld Iyanden dudes. and Mymeara's.

Mymeara all the way!
