Went to my local GW store (Montreal) and asked for a bit of help to get the right paints to have my DKoK look like this



Here's what I was told.

Armor base coat: Adeptus battlegrey
Armor highlights: Codex grey

Trench coat base coat: Codex grey
Trench coat highlights: Fortress grey

Boltgun metal for the weapons

Dhened stone for the wrapping/gasmask

I am left with the skull face, what do? Mix some grey and Dhened stone? Backpack/powerpack will probably be adeptus battlegry/boltgun metal as well as the power cord.

I think that the dheneb stone should go on the boots, the "skull face" (aka the gas mask), and the bedroll on top of the bag. The pouch for the gas mask, webbing and belts should be done in brown, with a lighter brown hightlight.

To me, personally, the grey looks like it has a bit of a bluish tint to it, so I may actually suggest you start with shadow grey or something similar.

Adeptus Battlegrey is indeed how the FW studio paint their DKOK in that scheme. The gas mask is a diluted Graveyard earth I believe.
