P.s. Anyone wanna tell me what the difference is between the GW normal colors and the Foundation colors are now? Also... Do you still have to thin GW paints?

I love purple with green- they look great together and make for a striking figure (see below an example of the guys I'm painting with this color combo- not the best paint job, but might give you a better idea how they'll look on a fig. They're Greensteela Kult Ork/Tyranid hybrids with blue legs, so that might help visualize what you're planning, too).

As for normal vs foundation, the foundation paints are much thicker colors(more pigment, so more effective coverage with a single coat)- mainly intended as a base coat. Depending on the color (and how high a standard you paint to), you may still want to thin GW paints. Being on the low end of skills, I tend to only thin my lighter colors (bleached bone, white).
