Warhammer 40K – Dark Eldar Test Paint Scheme
by Totengraber on May.03, 2011, under Miniatures, Painting, Sci-Fi, Warhammer 40k
Over the weekend I managed to get a few Dark Eldar minis painted. I had been reluctant to start on them because I didn’t want to ruin any of them from the start. I had an idea of how I wanted them to look, but wasn’t 100% sure of how to pull it off. I finally decided to just go with my gut and just throw some paint on them. Personally, I think they look just how I wanted them to: menacing, but with Warlock Purple (magenta) being the primary color. They’ll probably get called “pansies” or something, but I care not.
The formula for the armor is:
- Basecoat P3 Sanguine Base
- Edge highlight P3 Sanguine Highlight
- Edge highlight GW Warlock Purple
- Wash in recesses GW Leviathan Purple
I’ll probably do a set of 5 Wyches next to get a skin tone going.

This is my blog dedicated to the hobby of tabletop gaming. My posts here are mostly as a log of what work I am getting done painting various miniatures for various different games. I will also post different gaming sessions I've had to give people an idea what games are being played at our local store as well as a sort of "review" of those games. Thanks for visiting!
