Can anyone recommend me some colors to use to paint DKoK? The Korpsman that appears in the Warhammer 40000 rulebook as well as their description in Dead Men Walking are black, but the minis on FW seem to be Codex Grey or some sort of variant, while the color closest to World War I German Feldgrau seems to be somewhere between Adeptus Battlegrey and Knarloc Green(?)

Well, there are several regiments with different colors, I use a 1:1 mix of Shadow Grey and Codex Grey for fatigues, and a dark camo green for armor, but I've seen ones with black fatigues and Grey armor. It comes down to taste, i would take a model, and experiment with it until you find something you like. maybe Google some DKoK color schemes?

Trench coats: charadon granite drybrush, khemri brown highlight.

Trousers: khemri brown, ogryn flesh wash, dheneb stone highlight.

Armour: boltgun metal 2:1 chaos black, boltgun
Metal drybrush, heavy devlan mud wash.

Gas mask: schorched brown, dark flesh, vermin brown.

The bottom one of the left shoulder pad: mechrite red, blood red, blazing orange highlight

Command squad shield: same as above

The Y shaped belt thingy on the back: same as above

I personally love to see DKoK painted as something other than grey.

I've seen a some nice powder blue ones, some pretty cool desert ones and so on.
