I really like the colour of the skin, much more subdued than tyranids tend to be. The only thing that looks off is the claws- the flat white looks a bit bland. Perhaps you could put a light brown wash over bleached bone to bring out more detail there? (assuming it isnt just saturation of the camera that is making them look so white).
Really nice models though!

Thanks guys! I have my malefactors primed and ready, so I will paint some of those up tonight hopefully (them, or my normal 40k genestealers).
I will try to work on the white bone color. It really is an off-white, and brings the whole figure together so I don't want to mute it too much. It really brings out the model having the dark brown and green touched with the brighter white.
The only other color I will bring into the models is red for the models that have a carapace. It might be included in the malefactors, I really have to see...
Interesting fact: This is the exact opposite of how my normal 40K 'nids are painted: while the Epic guys will be dark brown with light brown drybrush/highlighting, the normal ones are light brown with dark shading!
