I'm new to Warhammer in general and I prefer painting and learning about the lore to playing, but I like dark elves in all franchises and drukhari are no exception! I especially like the wyches and recently started creating my first wych cult, but I'm still feeling indecisive about their colour scheme so I haven't made that much progress yet. I did, however, make a symbol for them:

Welcome aboard @gravemaiden You chose really well if you were looking for astounding good looking models and a good challenge at the same time (and, if the urge to play gets to you, we are in a really good position right now for the tabletop game). Your avatar is seriously really good looking! love the aesthetic of it This is already a good start for a color scheme (i love purple and it fits really well on Drukhari models) Nice bloody symbol you got there too
My favorite models in the wych cult are the Hellions, they are so good looking and active, its easy to make every models look different from others, makes them stand out.
Once you've started creating and painting models, please feel free to show them to us (i need some inspiration too for my color scheme lol)

Thanks! My avatar is the female dreadlord from Total War II As for the symbol, the cult's name is Cult of the Bleeding Edge so I thought a bloodied razorflail would be a good fit.
Here is the one wych I've painted so far but I'm unsure if I want to keep this colour scheme

gotta say that your already far better than me at painting! Your red and gold seems perfect, i think that you could choose another color instead of black for the armor. Maybe something more greeny? a little bit like the Dark Angels or something like that?

Thank you!! I only did nighthaunt before this so painting smaller minis has been a bit of a challenge.
Green is what I was thinking, though maybe something a bit darker like the Cult of Strife.

Welcome abord! You picked a great time to join the True Kin, were pretty strong, but the OPness has recently got a nerf.
Really like your symbol, I look forward to seeing some of your work.
In the next 3-4 months, the theory is that the Craftworld Eldar will get a relase. Should open up some neat conversion possibilities. One of the best parts of collecting Dark Eldar are all the conversions you can dream up

I finally found a colour I liked for the wyches. Here's an example of it on a still very unfinished one
