Right, not sure if I told you guys yet but i've decided to build a new GW army (don't worry im not buying so much as an ounce of plastic from GW). Im building myself a Dark Eldar army, the idea is with the new codex comming out in a few months I can build an army, paint it up nice and sell it on again... and hopefully make a tidy profit in the process. However im stuck with a small problem... How in the seven blue hells do I paint a dark eldar army? |

When I think dark eldar, I think dark and cold spectrum. Dark greens through dark bluish purple. |

I was leaning towards purple and black... but seriously... how do you paint those colours and still get a striking effect... that mix is usually very dark and very hard to tell whats purple and whats black... |

Try a test model where a pannel starts out black then moves to purple at the edges? I tried a similar thing using pink on some test models, but instead of moving with a blend I went straigt pink edge highlights. |

It's not terrible, but I'd be inclined to add more colour, at least a third colour (bottle green, scarlet, or deep purple.). |
