Hey. Been painting a long, long time but I'm self taught and haven't advanced in a while. I'm incredibly slow painter but I'm almost done with painting my 3000K Space Marine army.
Anyway, long story short. What would be the best colour to use to Highlight Catachan green?
Thanks.

For my horde of Catachans, I used 50/50 goblin green & Catachan green. For really sharp areas (like tank edges) I use a touch of pure goblin green.
My gallery has about 200 models highlighted that way; if that's the look you're going for, there's the recipe.

Recommendation is also listed above, id go with a 1:1 ratio of Goblin Green/Catachan Green. You can always work to a lighter color from there depending on how bright you want the highlgiht, best of luck.

 4250 points of Blood Angels goodness, sweet and silky W12-L6-D4
 1000 points of Teil-Shan (my own scheme) Eldar Craftworld in progress
 800 points of unassembled Urban themed Imperial Guard
 650 points of my do-it-yourself Tempest Guard
 675 points of Commoraghs finest!

Utilizing Careful Highlighting
Finland... the country next to Sweden? No! That's Norway! Finland is to the east! No! That's Russia!
|
3000k!? 3000 000!?
How long have you been playing?
Anyways Try Gretchin Green/Camo Green mixed with Catachan green ( 1:1 )
|
Sweet Jesus, Nurgle and Slaanesh in the same box!?
No, just Nurgle and Slaanesh, Jesus will be sold seperately in a blister.

Dude I've 6k of BA and I've been playing for like 6 months at most.
As for the OP, Goblin green sounds the right route, also don't forget to try out the other shades of green.
Maybe Knarloc mixed with Scorpion Green, gives a light pale look.
Reason I say the foundation is because, it adds a layer that blends, but you got to apply the Scorpion green right after.

Camo Green; please DO NOT use Goblin Green. Yeah, and Kommando Khaki can be used to highlight just about anything.
