Anyone know the Army Colors of the Wytch Cult of the Flayed Hand?

I know the Kabal of the Wraithkind colors from this link.

Any other know colors for other Dark Eldar that allied with Iyanden?

Doesn't look like there's anything. They only have the briefest of mentions in the Dark Eldar and Iyanden books, so looks like it's fair game for you to create your own...

Flayed hand... I'd imagine is probably going to be a combination of Ushanti Bone (with maybe white scar highlights) accents with a Mephiston Red base coat highlighted however you would like.

Of course, this is the Dark Eldar, so it could be Purple on Purple on Purple, because screw convention when it comes to coloring things after their names in the Eldar mindset, right?

I mean Iyanden are the Necromancers of the Eldar craftworlds and they're bright freaking yellow.

I like how the Wraithkind go for the Blue/Yellow similar to Iyanden (but inverted).

I'd do this. Why be pigeon-holed into a paint scheme? Plus, I like DIY backgrounds.

Kind-off. Unless my screen is showing the colors wrong, it is more of a green-blue than true blue.

I don't like fan made background. I like canon background.

They weren't always necromancers.

Me too. But in cases like this, creativity is all you have.

Indeed. They where driven to it by necessity for survival.
Before the need, they where the biggest Craftworld after the fall.

I'm highly uncreative. Look at my username!

The key is to hide your sources well!

Think of something you like that isn't quite related but close enough, take the concept and apply Eldar (or whatever) aesthetics to it.

Though in this case, taking the Wraithkind would work well if you are Iyanden by just inverting your colours for them. If someone thinks it is different, just say these were the ones that came to help, and use the inverted colours of Iyanden ironically.

That's a good example of why you don't need to be creative to make up stuff for 40k. If GW can do it, anyone can!

While true they haven't always been necromancers, since their inception in the game that's been their role hasn't it? I've read the fluff in the codex and while I'm newer to the universe than the Eldar (started last Nov), hasn't all the "brightest jewel suffering the harshest glance of fate" happened prior to their actual introduction to the timeline of where we stand now?

Reason I say about the colors is just that we've seen many instances of old factions dropping their colors in favor of something more fitting to their current standing. Sons of Horus donning the black, for example.

Iyanden remains Iyanden. There are no Sons of Horus anymore -- just the Black Legion.
