So I bought my first Harlequin units (a troupe box) and I want to paint them in the Masque of the Dance Without End. I know the diamonds are going to be really hard and time consuming but I've always wanted to get better at freehand so might as well learn now (I might regret this).

I've seen heaps of tutorials on doing the diamonds but I'm just not sure what colours to use. I'm going off this pic as a reference: https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/warhammer40k/images/1/13/Dance_Without_End_Player.png/revision/latest?cb=20150301213537

I was going to go moot green for the brighter diamonds but I'm not sure on the darker ones. I'm thinking Stegadon Scale Green or Thunderhawk Blue. What do you guys think is the closest colour choice?

Also if you think I'm way off on the Moot Green let me know. I'm still a beginner with eyeballing colours.

I think it'd work better with sybarite green/gauss blaster green for the lighter ones and perhaps kabalite green for the darker ons.

Oh wow, that actually looks like it would work. I have Gauss Blaster but I'll get some Kabalite and try it out on some sprue, Thanks!
