Hey everyone,
So I have 80 plague monks to paint....waaaaay to many.

Anyways to speed up the process since I have nearly 450 models to paint I was going to try and prime them in a green and just paint skin, metal and wood and then wash the entire thing.
I can't seem to find any examples of what the Army Painter army green primer looks like.

If anone has an example or a picture would you be able to post it? That would be great!

It might help if you specified which one, as there is Angel Green and Goblin Green

These were primed with Army Painter Angel Green, which is quite close to Caliban Green (Goblin Green is lighter):



If you have 450 models to paint, buy an airbrush, and prime with Vallejo Nato Green (buy the giant size one), and then give it a coat of whichever green you want -- Olive Green is close to Caliban. You're going to save a ton of money.

For comparison, this guy came out of the same box, but was primed and basecoat with an airbrush:



Both had a super thin coat of Caliban green brushed on with a 1/2 inch flat brush afterwards.

Left to right:
Army Green, Greenskin, Angel Green:


I've used Greenskin and Angel Green on my retro Cadians and modern Dark Angels respectively, it's good stuff.

PERFECT YOU GUYS ARE DA BOMB!!!!!

I was thinking about the goblin green but the army green looks exactly like I want!

The Greenskin is a great color, and it takes washes real well too:
