So, I'm starting my first major army. My Verdant Stars (Fan chapter) are stemming from my old Knights of Blood project. This chapter is either going to be a successor of the Blood Angels (Due to their past as a legion, the bearing of a taint, angelic, etc), who have a lessened taint, or the Silver Skulls (who were a good RT chapter IIRC, however, they are not commonly in the spot-light.)

I was going for a muted green such as Camo green, at first, even though I prefer the obnoxious Sons of Medusa bright schemes too. I found this picture of a Cata-Terminator on the web. What paint would match that scheme, or create that easily? I'm also leaning to Knarloc green or Gretchin Green.

Any advice? I don't want them to be too "Dark Angels"-ish or "Sons of Medusa"-ish. Furthermore, when fighting Orcs, I'd like for them to not blend. However, when I paint these guys up on the Bolter and Chainsword page, they seem horribly off the color I expect. I've been sitting here for a while, and I have the paint colors I want to end up with.

Do you guys think this paint scheme will be too hard? How would I approach it?

Averland Sunset for Helm.
Loren Forest for Main Body
Fenrisian Grey for the Eyes
Celestra Grey for trim and details, also weapons.
Abaddon black for soft armor.

Edit: And the obvious spam of delicious Nuln Oil/Devlan.
