Ok so in the last week or so I've acquired 4 Leman Russ tanks and have another 2 on the way. The problem I now face is naming them and a olour scheme for them, I would like to incorporate my childrens name in there some where (Noah & Zack) but I am open to advice.

Well, what kind of colour scheme does the rest of your troops/vehicles have? It should at least in some way match them.
As for the names I suggest either using them as tank commanders' names written on the turret (Lt. Noah for example) or make them into some kind of semi-pun as the names for the tanks, like "Zack Attack" or similar.

My tanks are a different company from the rest of my troops, i have a company of cadian, company of catachan, working on a company of Tanith. So it doesnt really matter if they match

I'd still suggest you make them at least somewhat similar to one of your companies. Do the different companies have some sort of marking or insignia that tie them together? If so, adding that to the tanks is a simple and fitting way to show that they are part of the same army.
As for the general colour scheme, what kind of terrain do you usually play on? I would try and match that at least to some extent. It would look weird to have snow-white tanks in a forest.
That, and also make them somewhat similar to the rest of your troops. Use the same main colour for both trrops and tanks.

I dont play at the moment, I'm more in to modelling and painting. The cadians have snakebite leather fatigues with a bronzed flesh wash and black armour, the tanith will have black fatigues and a dark angels green camo cloak, the catachans I haven't started painting yet. I'm yet to look in to insignia as of the 500+ figures I have only 50 of them have been painted.

Not a sausage
Lost a star
4th again
Empty trophy room
Took a beating
the list could go on

The word "arse" twice in one team.
