Yet more new dark eldar players!

Hello Dark City,

As suggested on this forum, i'm here to introduce myself!

I'm in the UK, around the Oxford area, 23 years old and love the look and fluff with Dark Eldar (also the challenge to play ).

I'll be starting to collect DE in a couple of weeks having spent around 8 years not playing (at which point i really had no idea what i was doing with space marines).

In the interim before I actually start, I have been listening to lots of Splintermind (which is awesome) and trying to think of a reasonable order to collect my models in. I'll probably start with either a succubus or an archon and some Kabalites.

I'm stuck for a colour scheme though, I'd like something a little bit more original than the standard in the codex, has anyone got any ideas for inspiration? I'd like it to be fairly dark and also include a dark green of some sort...

Thanks and raid on.

Welcome to the dark city!
If you do want an unusual colour scheme I'd suggest something bright. Yellow, orange or light green. Who said that we always have to be dark?

I'm sure you're going to like it here as soon as you learn to ignore all those doom sayers.

Happy hunting!

Thanks! I'm good at ignoring doom sayers.

I'll have a look on google for some bright-ish dark eldar schemes.

Hey there, welcome to our global true kin community.

As CptMetal says, some bright colour schemes really do stand out on the table top. The Dark Eldar model range is so beautiful that any range of colours will do well, if it suits your tastes and you execute it well.

As for your first few buys, perhaps pick up a box of Kabalite Warriors and a Venom.

Best of luck in your army.

Update; I started! Paint scheme decided upon, first kabalite painted and 9 more WiP. Have a picture you lovely evil people: http://m.imgur.com/a/FipCF

Thanks for the help!

That's some nice color scheme. Not too dark but also not just the usual black.

Before the Admins tell you, I'll do it: those pictures probably belong into the painting and modeling section.

Okay, no probs, all future links will go up there instead!
