Is it Cult of Slaanesh or Vanilla Druchii? If CoS you can probably just about get away with how light and bright they are but if it's Vanilla I think you need to darken one of the colours so as they don't appear too washed out. The easiest way would would be a couple of dark washes over the blue imo.

No, the thought was to use it like a normal Dark Elf army.

What he said... agreeing blindly!

They remind me of strawberry milkshakes.. yum. I like them for that reason.

Sorry, not too fond of the color scheme.. they are properly highlighted, and I like the dog at the musicians feet. :D

I love the gesture of the standard bearer. nothing like telling the opposing unit to " eff you " before they get shot or they charge in and get shot :P

the painting and modelling look ok to me, but i'll agree with the others about the colour scheme im afraid you really need to darken something down, but if it makes you feel better i have seen a much worse colour scheme . . . dark eldar painted tentacle pink with yellow polka dots . . . tho that one did have comedy value because they looked like prawns if your weren't looking close up . . . . lol

Asurslayer, you're from TGUO, correct?

On to the models, the pictures seem a bit blurry to me, but I'm not sure. I'm not very focussed today. As all the others have said, you're color scheme is a bit bright, and I would advise you to darken it. You could keep everything else, if instead of that pink, you used regal blue, or ecnhanted blue. Also, the bases are a tad boring,with the green sides.
