I can't find it on the conversion chart and the search function didn't help me, either. Is Army Painter's Army Green spray closer to Castellan Green or Death World Forest? If it's a match for Castellan Green, I may pick up a can or two so I can repaint my SM tactical squads quickly once I'm done stripping them.

I dont know if it's a match to anything. Army painter does do it's paint for the sprays in pots as well nowadays, the colour is usually very very close.

Rats. I may have to get an airbrush when the time comes.

If you're painting dark angels, you'd probably want to use Caliban/ angel green instead.

"Army Green" is a more Cadian color. The color you would want for Dark Angels is either "Greenskin Green"(it's a bit lighter in shade than the other color, but it would lend itself to being darkened up without coming out too dark) or "Angels Green"(which is almost a perfect match for Dark Angels Green).

I'm not painting Dark Angels. I've got my own homebrew chapter, the War Wyverns. With everything going on with the new Codex, I have no idea who the ancestor legion should be just yet.

Then I'd suggest against caliban green, its more blue green, old DA green was more yellow green. It's also a bit more opaque in my opinion.

If you're painting a dragon inspired chapter, then I'd recomend painting them balck and grey instead.

That has no bearing to my original question, though. My original questions is this: Is Army Painter Army Green close enough to Castellan Green that I can use it for my Space Marines with no noticeable difference?
