I'm really not good at matching GW paints with the codex pictures. Specifically, what are the paints that go with:

Alpha Legion: blue & green
Apostles of Minthras:
Disciples of Destruction (not Liche Purple? Izzit that Warlock color?)
World Eaters: which red is it?

Thanks.

well Most of the time you need a variety of colors and some stages between to get the right finish world eaters you'd probably start with a deep red like red gore and work up in stages to blood red apart from that I have no clue try looking in some of the painting blogs and tutorials for techniques and advice

Using http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/armySubUnitCats.jsp?catId=cat470011a&rootCatGameStyle=, I get:
Alpha Legion: Enchanted Blue and Snot Green
Apostles of M: mostly the lighter Blood Red, huh?
Dis of Des: Gotta be Warlock Purple
World Eaters: @mullet_steve: Heh, that's weird. Red Gore looks lighter than Scab Red.

Now, given how off LichePurple is on GW's page from what it really is (I've used LicheP a lot) and the C:CSM Warriors of Mayhem (clearly LicheP) do the dakka painters agree on my match-ups?

Bump. Second go 'round at finding out what paints the dakka community thinks were used to achieve the pictures on page 18-24 in the Codex:CSM.

I'll add Dark Wolves to the list.

Alpha Legion: Enchanted Blue and Snot Green ?
Apostles of M: mostly the lighter Blood Red, huh?
Dis of Destruction: Gotta be Warlock Purple
World Eaters: Which red?

How about the PLague Marines on page 72? There's no way that is the same Rotting Flesh I just bought, unless I'm really color blind.
