My Eldar/Dark Eldar Army

I think most people are too busy staring at the lovely pictures to comment. Amazing paint job and the colours work so well.

They look great, not what I imagined for corsairs from the little art that's around but now it's difficult to picture them differently. Love the atypical colour scheme on the DE models. If anything, I think there could be a bit more mixing of DE and craftworld bits.

The red on the latest models looks much brighter. Is that on purpose or a change in paints/lighting?

Awesome paintjob!
Really like the use of Eldar powerfists, coold looking models.

@ Lattd- Thanks, I'm glad you like the colors....though I'm searching for new accent colors for future squads. Think purple but I need more.

@isotope99- Glad you like em I tried to go in a different direction stylistically than the Corsairs FW is putting out. Don't get me wrong I love them, but I wanted to go for a more "Eldar Pirate" ala Rogue Trader look. I wanted to them to not look freshly exiled from their Craftworld, but not totally Dark Eldar either, more of veteran Eldar pirates, hence the bright bold color scheme, more armored, and no weird Haemoncului stuff. My Wyches as pictured above are going to be the most "Dark Eldar" looking of all my units. In my mind they are the wildest warriors in my army, barely restrained from the Dark Eldar ways by my renegade Autarch. I think when you see them with my Dire Avenger, Shining Spears (which I haven't primed, or photographed for the log) it'll have a more balanced look.

Also the bright red on these Wyches is a result of thinking Mephiston Red was the closest to Mechrite Red there was. Don't trust the 10 year olds at your local gaming store! :P After poking around on GW's site I discovered the glory of Khorne Red. Its perfect! Its like Mechrite red but slightly more lustrous. I love it. I'm going Khorne Red-Mephiston-Wild Rider and it looks sweet. Though on occassion I'll just go Mephiston-Wild Rider just to give guys that really gleaming, almost lacquered look.

@Rev. Tiberius Jackhammer- Thanks. I really love all the old OOP bits. I've got plans to use the old Eldar flamethrowers, and las-pistols as well. I've also got a bunch Rogue Trader models waiting for implementation for a secret project I'm working on.

You have an eye for colors. The way you put colors together it just makes the minis pop. Well done sir. Well done.

Hey gang. Making nice progress with my Corsair Avengers. Very pleased with the female Avenger. I wish I could get better clarity on the photo to show off her face, but oh well. Hope you guys enjoy. And thanks Amrogers, good luck with the painting!

These are great. I love your color scheme.

@ Magickbk- Thanks bud, all comments are greatly appreciated.

Hey gang. Really cooking on my Eldar/Dark Eldar army. All 2000 points are rapidly nearing completion. Can't wait for these bad birds to hit the table. There is a really nice DE player at my LGS who I hope can take me under his wing, since I've not played a 6th edition game yet. So stoked, hope you guys enjoy, and as always I'd love some feedback, whether it be comments, criticisms or suggestions.

The faces on these Eldar really are exquisite mate. Beautifully done!
