I've tried green but too often it detracts from the colour scheme of the figure. Black seems to be the best choice

[OSHIROmodels]

I used to paint mine very dark brown which was a good compromise and if I ever get round to painting the IG and orks I've got I'll do it like that again.

Sometimes I like to 'frame' the bases in black, and other times like with my Saga stuff on renderra bases, are sculpted over the ridge.

[Cubs]

I have done a few with a grey/brown stone shade, which worked quite well. But mostly black.

[janner]

I'm on khaki for the moment...

Try Fish Sauce.

It goes with everything according to my brother in law.
 

[Dr. Zombie]

I usually go for dark brown.

And in other news what does people think about the new floaty ballsack tyranid thingies?

Looks a bit too regular for me, like the designer digitally sculpted a fifth and then just mirrored it  

Not enough randomness for me.

*EDIT* I found the Flikr pool

Generic burnt umber with a highlight for me.

What about the app they've released? It's a train wreck inside a car crash.

Awful. Just awful. The last tyranid think I liked was tge latest hive tyrants and carnifex kits.
They have taken suck to a new level for me....

Most boring Tyranid thing ever. I don't get it either. Reading the descriptions, one says its impact, when it hits the planet, disgorges tyranids. The other buries itself into the planet. What is the point to these minis. Are they going to be there for 1 turn then replaced with other things?

[Constable Bertrand]

It is an armour plated dogs danglies - literally, and that ain't a compliment >_> Who would want to paint a hot air ballsack anyway?

Will they come out with a new range of imperium "Penetrator" rockets that look a little like a V2 and a little like something else?

Oh dear.

Very accurate.

Better  to buy a real whole dog and even with the upkeep you get more out of it.

But it might not let you play 40k with its danglies..

Nice that they tell us which issue of dwarf the rules are in.

oooh but look a special invasion force with 5 dogs danglers in it - two pairs and a spare!
 
only set u back 345 squids. for a massive army of 34 miniatures! woohoo !!! and then buy the white dwarf issues for the rules....

No doubt there will be more pointed releases to follow to complete the set, to enable players to properly play with their  armoured balls..

I think it is a kind of organic drop-pod. If so, by the rules, these things usually are placed on the table, deploy their payload (usually troops or a stompy robot thing, for Space Marines) and then take weak pot-shots at enemy units that move too close and block line of sight for the rest of the game.
