Well done. 

What is the base color for the Dragoon units?

The Wolf's Dragoons colour scheme depends on the type of unit and the parent organisation. A/S fighters tend to canary yellow, fiery orange or red/black whilst mechs and vehicles follow the same primary colour schemes for each regiment/battalion:
Alpha Regt: rust red/black trim.
Beta Regt: emerald green.
Gamma Regt: midnight blue.
Delta Regt: dusty grey.
Epsilon Regt: tan.
Wolf Spider Battn: black with red trim.
Zeta Battn: black (added white striping and red trim late Jihad era).
Some mechwarriors may deviate from this scheme, especially commanders who want to be noticed by their own troops - generally they'll use a single bold colour (gold, yellow, green) that contrasts with the regt/battn colours.

Yeah, Wolf's Dragoons are complicated! Hope this helps.

Thank you.  I was curious what paint color you used to achieve that tan color.  It looks like a contrast but I was not sure.

If you hang on until Feb-March sort of time then Force Manual: Mercenaries might be hitting shelves. I've now got the Davion and Kurita Force Manuals and they really do add a lot of good material, especially for Alpha Strike.
I was inspired (or deranged  lol) to start working on an entire 10th Ghost Regiment battalion sized force after reading the Kurita book - beware!!  lol

looking great.  I another thought a Goliath model would look good, but they did it.
