Prime. Basecoat in one camo colour. Randomly stipple another camo colour. Randomly stipple a third camo colour on top (mostly to cover any previous mistakes). Watered-down wash.

Basecoat flesh areas. Wash.

Basecoat packs, belts etc. Wash.

Basecoat metal areas. Wash.

completely agree with above post

this is how i paunt my tyranids ...
i base coat the skin color, drybrush the second skin color, and then drybrush the lightest hilight for the skin. and i do that 30-40 at a time
then i go back 10 at a time and paint in the details.. the joints...the claws...the carapace...all base colored and go back with stages 2 and 3 for them. i detail all of my miniatures. its a bad habbit

It pays off when you stand back and look at them though.
