Hey all, I've been scouring the interwebs but my google Fu sucks. Does anyone on Dakka know what the colours of Zandros are? I'm setting up an Aspect and grav-tank heavy Eldar force and I'd like the Striking Scorpions to be my heavy foot troops. As Zandros's history seems intertwined with Karandras and the Scorpion's Aspect I'd like to get the colours right for the tanks. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Apparently it gets spelt 'Xandros' now and again, it was home to an odd Aspect back in 2e. Google Images is giving me every goddamn page of a locked Scribd document I can't actually read, I don't think there is (or ever was) an official scheme. If you're going for strong ties to the Scorpion temple I'd suggest starting from dark green/bright yellow and seeing where it takes you.

I was thinking of doing a transition from a dark green metallic at the shoulders and chest into black at the extremities. Accent that base scheme with bright yellow and orange, maybe? I was thinking about that as a theme and have the aspects use the same transitioning to show their Craftworld origin.

Xandros was only mentioned once or twice... It's hard to say.

That really surprised me. I would have thought something like that would have more lore circulating. It's kid of a big part of the Striking Scorpions' history as it marks a major turning point for them and, potentially, had it gone poorly for Karandras, any Craftworld hosting their Aspect.

Yeah, but in prior iterations of the Codex the specific Craftworld wasn't mentioned. I'm not sure why they picked out an obscure/otherwise unmentioned one for it this time around.
