Default trying to decide which craftworld to paint my Eldar as

I'm trying to decide which colour scheme to paint my Eldar, and I would appreciate some input.

Biel Tan you should all know; two are from Dawn of War, and the other is something I thought might look good.

[size=15pt]Ava-Nile[/size]





[size=15pt]Il-Kaithe[/size]





[size=15pt]my idea[/size]

Your own color scheme is the best of the group. The others are good if you like there fluff or style of play. Some craftworlds have specialties and unique rules and units.

neither of those Craftworlds currently has official rules, I think that they were probably just made up to add some more colour schemes to Dawn Of War (there is a third one, but it's orange and brown and I didn't fancy it).

Looking at them next to each other, I kind of think that my one just "pops" more. It seems like a better contrast, it stands out. What do you guys think?

I agree, I do like the one you made better, is that a storm guardian or something?

I'm not sure, IIRC you only get one type of Guardian in the game. They probably just do what the marines do, which is put away their gun and pull out a CCW.

But dude, purple? I personally prefer black and blue, but don't think it looks very good on that falcon. Maybe if the colours were reversed or something. Better ratio of blue to black may help.
And how are you going to do all your aspects to fit in with these schemes, because that matters too.

I must say that the purple doesn't look great, but when you see it along with the beige its not bad.

well, it's not necessarily going to be that exact purple. it'll be GW paints. and there will probably be more purple (maybe all purple) on the top of the vehicles.
