I bought some nids at a discount to fill out my list, but they were already painted. I really just want to change the pink body color, but leave the rest of the paint on there (there's alot of gants). Does anyone know a good wash to make the bodies look blue, red, or even purplish? Is there a better or easier method for re-doing just the bodies?

red or purple would probably look good

Pictures of what you have and what you want is a good idea.

Butt, as solo suggested just wash over it with red or purple. perhaps try blue to get a purplee result over the pink.

Use an ink rather than a wash, the heavier pigment will tint the paint more effectively than a wash.

Army Painter have a new set out which claim to do similar, haven't tested them out yet tho (plan to)

Good ideas, I'll look into inks (haven't used them before) and see if I can get a pic on here to show what they look like atm. They were painted well, but I just don't like the pink look.
