----> Speaking with the bloody stump of experience, try quartering it.
Looking from the top down, think of a line vertically down the middle
and a line horizontally across the middle - 4 sections.
Paint the Left front half and the Right rear half red, and the opposite
parts black. Looks good if you can pull it off. Then paint the tracks a
silver/boltgunmetal/ other, and the guns, and you have a very distinct
unit. Works on rhinos too, if you decide to follow through with them.

Or just go camo. : )

        I did Howling Griffs for 40K(like someone else on the list, I believe
- nice site Carl) , and they were a pain in the ass (quartered red &
yellow).
Naturally I had to do it for Epic too, and it was also a pain. To me,
the
infantry were easier than the vehicles, because you need to pick your
 break line very carefully and make it very neat, or it looks like crap.
If you can do that, though, it looks pretty nice. Oh, and on some I
cheated - I used a dividing line of white. Still looks good though.
 I also proceeded to paint a lot of Blood Angels and Ultramarines...
