Has anyone painted their Astra Militarum tanks with the new Death Guard Green colour? I'm thinking of using the new spray to create a green Soviet army kind of colour, but wondered how it would look. Does it look like a believable colour to paint tanks, or does it look too sickly?

If anyone has used it and has any pictures, or has some views, then then would be great. This is the kind of look I want to go for.

Death guard green is almost identical to several varieties of camo used for tanks during WW2. Its very difficult to find a green that WASN'T used for one tank or another.

The only thing that might make your tanks less believable is that everyone else in 40k likes to paint their vehicles in bright primary colors, so your guys might be eyed sideways for their heretical color schemes.

But then you can also point to the fact there are a few chapters that use subdued colours in their natural heraldry. Go a little further back, Rogue Trader days, Marines used camouflage too.

Hey guys, I used the spray and think it looks great! Will make painting them a lot quicker.
