As per the thread title really. I usually play it pretty safe with colour schemes, but even though they look nice they just don't stand out. So this is my attempt at being bold!
I'm pretty happy with the way the Kabalite Warriors look. I'm ok with the jet bikes, but I do have some concerns about how to scale the colours up onto bigger vehicles.
So before I commit any further, I thought I'd canvas some opinions. Apologies for the sub-standard photos they are just snapped off my phone.

I like it, the contrasts work nicely. The highlighting's a bit heavy but not insanely so.

I really love those colors.

Would go really nicely if ever considering ynnari or pairing with harlequins too.

Love the paintjob!

Thanks chaps. Sometimes you can look at a model too many times and only see the issues with them.
Definitely right about some heavy highlights. I'm watering my paints down, and start well but they get clumsier as my paint drys on the palette. I've ordered a wet palette to hopefully help keep the highlights consistent. That and practice. I've never tried hard line highlights like dark eldar before.

I like it. It is bold, but not garish.

I love them! Great choice (and application) of colours. They look unique, and I really like DE that don't exclusively use dark colours, which is appropriate for them but can obscure the details on the models; a faction with some the nicest models GW have ever done

I like them!! very bold use of colours

highlighting is fine I think, because at 3' away, it's gonna be difficult to distinguish them else. I find a lot of mine tend to just blend in ><

RE: vehicles etc - what I do (mainly with my orks) is basically pick one of the two main colours, then use that as the vehicles 'base'. Use your other colour as the spot colour, for all the little bits and such, for instance. Then, if you really want, you do another vehicle in the opposite way. It looks nice, it looks like your theme, it isn't overwhelming and it's still fun to paint and see.

Anyway, just my two cents!

Like em a lot. Agree with beradical that they're ripe for mixing with other Aeldari factions, if you choose that route, but they're also nice and unique on their own. The variation on the Reavers is pretty nice, but on bigger vehicles I wonder if it will look too patchy, follow Guilderstern's advice on that.

Looks great! For "playing it safe" with a scheme this is actually quite unique and outstanding, especially compared to other DE armies I've seen! Keep up the great work!
