Hi guys im starting my DKoK army and want to paint them the 143rd regiment but don't know what paint to use?
(Vallejo paint please)

If you want exact colors.
There is this thread:

Other wise what I would do is this. I think the have simular colors of the WWI Belgium or French army. I would look up a painting guide to those and adjust from that.

For these I used :

Great Coats - Vallejo Model Color German Grey ( 167 ) highlighted with VMC Luftwaffe Uniform WWII (105)

Carapace Armour/ Helmet - First coat VMC Luftwaffe Uniform WWWII (105) , then VMC French Mir Blue (59) , with extreme highlights of GW's Astronomican Grey

Trousers - GW's Fenris Grey highlighted with VMC French Mir Blue (59) and GW's Astronomican Grey

The guns were basecoated Boltgun Metal, then a very watery wash of black ink mixed with Windsor and Newton Matt Acrilyc Medium, then a very watery wash of Chestnut Ink and the Medium then a "damp brush" of Boltgun Metal to finish.

Photo's a bit dark on the grenadiers sorry - the WiP of the Heavy Stubber may be better

Vallejo dark blue grey is the best colour .
