Hi guys, I'm in the middle of painting a death guard army. By middle I mean a few chars and a forgefiend.
I'm just wondering, is there a vallejo colour that is like Straken Green, and Nurgling green? if not any alternatives, since
GW paints go really sticky with thinners, for what ever reason. And I'm just over it. If there isn't any advance colour schemes anyone can recommend? that
would look good for them! thansk!

Dead flesh from vallejo is nurgling green (rotting flesh)
I don't know what straken green is...

If you want to thin GW paints, you can't use alcohol or solvent thinners easily, you should use either vallejo (or other brand) acrylic thinners or an airbrush medium like liquitex.. Don't use thinners from Bunnings or other solvent based thinners like Tamiya X20A, it makes them go all gummy... There are two different types of acrylic paints available, water-based and solvent-based, mixing of the two and their respective thinner just makes a mess...

Having said that, vallejo can be thinned with water and/or their own thinners (or a thinning medium).. Plus, they are cheaper, you get more and have dropper bottles that don't dry out like GW..

Sorry I can't help on straken green, I don't have it in my collection off hand..
