Finalized colour scheme

Oh, I've been away some time, haven't I?
Anyway, here is my finalized colour scheme, and my first few models that I've finished. Since I'm aiming at doing a Kill-Team first, you can except individual pictures including names and backgrounds to show up here eventually. Enjoy!

First colour test

Using an old Dark Eldar model I had laying around, I've been trying out some colour schemes. I'm actually quite satisfied with the one below. It adheres to my paint-an-army-principles; it's fast, real easy to paint, can look quite striking on the battlefield (especially the yellowish hair) and can be made a lot more advanced if I feel like it. But it also has room for improvements, for example, the model could really do with some extreme highlighting. What's your thoughts?




















Now, since I don't know how the new models will look, I can't really decide to use this scheme yet. For one, if the new models don't have any kind of plumes on their helmets, they might end up too one-coloured and boring in this scheme (note to self, paint another one without a plume to see how it looks). On the other hand, they could be completely covered in intricate details that require a much grander colour scheme to look good on the table. To quote Scorponoks headmaster Lord Zarak: "We shall see Galvatron, we shall see..."

The raiders are back!

So, this is the beginning of my new blog, which will follow my progress with the Dark Eldar of the 41st Millenium. Having been a Dark Eldar fan since their release in 1998, I've been eagerly awaiting the release of their new models and codex for the last 12 years. And soon, that day is finally here. So, to kick this blog off, I start with the first picture of models from the new Dark Eldar-line, a really blurry shot of the new Incubi:
















Soon to follow, my first colour test scheme.
