Trying to paint up a few landraiders for my Dark Angels Deathwing. I have seen both green and bone white as examples. Would the "right" color be the DA green, or the Deathwing Bone White? I try to go for Codex Compliance as much as I can.

For Deathwing it's the bone white.

If they are 1st company land raiders then paint them in bone, if they are standard armoury land raiders i.e for use by 3rd to 9th, then green is used. But as they are your models, then you paint them however you want

I don't think there's an official guideline on Land Raiders, but if you're using them for Deathwing then bone is reasonable, but since they can just as easily teleport in you could justify green if that's your preference as it stands to reason they might just use whatever land raider is available instead. I guess it just depends what you want to convey (it's their own personal ride, or they commandeered it for the mission). Green of course means you can use it with anything in your army though, whereas white would seem weirder delivering green wing units.

I have three land raiders and painted one bone white, one green and one black, to cover all the bases
Unfortunately it was a while ago so they're pretty terrible, so I'm still deciding how I plan to repaint them. One is a Crusader which perhaps makes it the best candidate for Deathwing, but is naturally the one I painted black during my youth-addled insanity

Plenty of excuses for transport vehicles to be whore'd out to wherever they're needed more at the moment.
