Putting some texture paint or something like that on the carapace as a camoflage, this worked well on my skinks for my LM army for WHFB (flock on the top of a brown skink looks very much like some sort of commando)[color=darkred]

what to get, i am still in the planning phase and as i have never played with or against nids i have no idea what to get, i use lizardmen and SM armies most of the time in case that help with advice

note: i can post photos of the skinks if ayone is interested in how they look]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/532410/5716804.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/532410/5716804.page GMT
I'd get a good white primer, then decide what kind of colours I wanted to go for... generally either something where the flesh and armour are similar colours (like brown and tan), or very accenting (like tan and blue). Depending on the colours you go for, use an appropriate wash, or water down an appropriate colour paint, then hit it with a wash just to bring the details into relief a little.

I've seen a few people use glow in the dark paint on minis, but it tends to be quite thick from what I have seen and obscures details. It can also have a very paint resistant surface which it is hard to then paint over with other details.
