I just bought a Knight Titan and plan on painting him up to he a member of House Cadmus. I am hoping some of the successful painters of green can help me decide what paints to use. Every time I use green it looks to black, to flat, or to much like a Ninja Turtle.

I've done one of these before (check my gallery) and I'm working on one now. I chose Waaagh Flesh over suggestions from others

Those look pretty good. Did you use straight Waagh Flesh or did you use other base colors/highlights?

Do you just brush paint or is airbrushing an option?

I just brush paint. Haven't bought an airbrush yet

Ah okay then. I was going to suggest Vallejo Model Air's "Dark Green" color as it is an almost exact match for the Cadmus color.

I just brush paint, I recently purchased an air brush so i'm new to it.

For the green do you think these steps will work?

Prime with Black Primer
Several thin coats of Calaban Green
Black Wash
Highlight with Calaban Green

I want to get the darker green that's in the picture but am afraid that bit will turn out to flat

There's no such thing as too flat when you're painting things that are in combat.
