After some thought I settled on Skeleton Bone for my Space Marine vehicles and remaining units, and Army Green for the Tyranids as it was the best match that they had for my existing colour scheme.
The sprays arrived half way through my week off, and so the next day I spent several hours outdoors with both cans spraying most of the stuff that hasn't been base-coated yet.
All in all I used most of the 400ml can of Skeleton Bone while spraying the two Commanders, Command Squad, both Rhino chassis, the parts for the Whirlwind, Razorback and Predator tanks, and the Drop Pod!
Once these were done I started on the Tyranids, and sprayed the last of the two Gaunt broods, the Hive Tyrant, both Carnifexes, and a Broodlord. There's still plenty left for the Genestealers, and oddments that I have left.
The Army Green colour is an exact match for Games Workshop's Knarloc Green Foundation Paint colour. Originally my Tyranids were base-coated in Gretchin Green which is lighter, but I think I can get round the shade difference with a good drybrush of Gretchin Green after all the shading is done. Here is the first completed Gaunt from the Army Painter primed batch:
Overall I have to say that I was very impressed with the Army Painter primers. They were easy enough to spray (as long as you shake them for about 3 minutes before you start) and the finish is really smooth and even. I highly recommend these products to anyone who is thinking about trying them.
Next time I need a spray can I 'll be getting it from Army Painter!
