I am working on a small Raptors army for Armies on Parade. These are the first few test models I've been able to churn out. They aren't based yet (waiting on some stuff in the mail) and the guy on the left needs a few highlights.

The green is a bit too dark/glossy for the Raptors, I think.
It makes them(with that bone/tan color) look too much like Dark Angels.

Remember that the Raptors are more of a camouflaged/olive drab color with a very matte finish to their armor rather than the glossier dark green of the Dark Angels.

If you have IA3, there's a color vignette of a Raptor Astartes in there.

The color of the armor plates is VMC olive drab green with a dullcoat over it. It looks "glossy" because there is an 80 watt halogen light about 6 inches from it (under a more natural light there is no sheen too it). The cloth parts are Khaki, however, the Aquila is indeed bonewhite as it didn't look right painted khaki.
I have a collection of images of Raptors I've pulled off the Internet to use as inspiration and VMC OD green is the closest to actual camo green. Thanks for the prompt comments though, I will take the them into consideration!

If I might offer a color suggestion for the green?

Try out "Olive Grey".
