I'm thinking I'd like to get some in the near future, but I cannot figure a decent way to paint them. All I know is that if I start getting some of them, I'd like them to have a uniform color scheme and avoid using the super bright yellows some of the studio schemes use. How do you guys tend to do yours? Do you go for a more organic look to them, or a more drab, militaristic colors, or what?

If I ever get around to painting mine, brown and cockroachy. The green and turquoise official look doesn't fit, IMO.

You ever check like cool mini or not? and see how people paint them?

There is this cool speculo killer some dude did and I love his colors.

I don't have the models, but if I did It would be painted in a very dark red scheme.

I painted a lot of Shas some time ago. Really like to use more military greens and dark purple tones...

Here is a great example of an interesting, unified scheme I would follow if I were painting Shas... (There's a sort tutorial posted for it somewhere in that thread too).
