Would Army Painter's Necrotic Flesh be too bright to use as base coat for late war German Herr uniforms? I plan on dipping, so will get a little darker from that. No highlights.

Any other Army Painter color (or other brand's colored primer) to get a good gray-green?

How about The Plastic Soldier Infantry Sprays: German Field Grey? I'm guessing that is for late war uniforms?

I was also thinking of Rust-oluem's Camo Spray Paint - Deep Forest Green, but I think it may be too dark once dipped.

Thanks,

Late War heer uniforms ran a gamut of colors form the grey-green to tan. This is a result of worn uniforms being recycled for their materials.



Pretty much any color in that range can be used.

Warlord and plastic soldier company both do a field grey spray for German uniforms. Not tried either I'm afraid but have used PSCs spray for German and British armour and found them to be excellent.

PSC Field Grey is very good.
