So GW removed one of their best articles a few months agoe, I haven't had use for it until now which is too late.

I first wanted to go with the standard green Imperial guard, I love it, but with their new "Imperial guard green" I just dont get the same deep rich green as I did with Catachan Green.
So I want to do a little dessert themed army, like the tanks in Afghanistan/Iraq, as I dont like to experiment too much, adding layers upon unsuccessful layers I tend to ask questions.

So what I'm going for is something like this:
http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat440246a&prodId=prod1860243 - The one after the 360o is my favorite, and I would LOVE to get it as close to that as possible.
http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat440252a&prodId=prod50019a - The first one, the "white" stripes
http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat440246a&prodId=prod1080037 - 360o, it is a little too white for what I want, but also what im looking for



I got the full Reaper Paint (Not HD) range and the first full version of the see through GW pots, a mix between Komando Khaki and dessert yellow would be my first quess, but as Im getting three tanks and a 30 infantry painted Im guessing my old paints will run out before I finish, so what are my options here? Willing to buy a few new paints.

Too long to read:

1) Any idea how to get close to http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat440246a&prodId=prod1860243 (The 360o)?
2) I got Reaper master series and the second newest GW paint set, willing to get new paints.
3) My guess would be Kommando Khaki and Dessert Yellow, but I'm afraid I will run out, so I would rather have paints that are still in production.

I can never seem to make a short question....
Thank for stopping by, hope you can help me out there!

Is that a chocolate dessert or some other flavour?

I use Army Painter's Desert yellow (may not be called that - but it's the colour) but I've also used Tamiya's DY spray for undercoating in the past.

I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).
Old enough to know better, young enough to not give a ****.

That is not dead which can eternal lie ...

... and yet, with strange aeons, even death may die.
