Subject: Please help determine which paints I will need.
This video has a simple explanation of how they painted both tanks:
The green is Vallejo Model Air Tank Green (71011) with heavy weathering applied on top.

I think you're underestimating the amount of non-paint related work that would be needed to duplicate the result.
Waaagh flesh is probably not too bad, but there's an awful lot going on over the top of the base coat.

Also, did you catch what she said they used for the other one? And again, is there something in Citadel paints for that?
The grey one was painted with VMA Tank Green and GW Codex Grey (Dawnstone would be the closest new GW paint, according to the Paint Range Compatibility Chart). Waaagh! Flesh is probably pretty close to VMA Tank Green, but I think that Castellan Green might be a little closer.
The weathering on the models looks like it was done with a combination of a dark black/brown and a metallic silver with lots of weathering pigments on it to represent dirt, mud, and rust. The soot from the engine/smokestacks was done with either black paint through an airbrush or black weathering pigment.

Either way, one or the other will certainly be close from Citadel, you may need a mix to get it dead on.
