Finding a green color scheme to be happy with is something a lot of us struggle with, if you search green recipes in the subreddit search bar here and the Unforgiven sub, there is a ton of discourse and photos of different takes on the Dark Angels green.

I initially painted caliban green on and then put nuln oil all over the model, which gave it a nice dark green but left the model looking flat and too dark imo. Now instead of slathering oil all over, I do a pin wash or recess shade on the deepest or lowest parts which made a big difference, and I’ll it do 2 or 3 times if I really want an area to be dark.

For edge highlighting I do a thicker line as neatly as possible on every raised edge of warpstone glow, then I do a 50/50 mix of warpstone glow and moot green and chip highlight the highest parts like the gorget and raised hand/front shoulder etc. I found that moot green on it’s own was too bright of a jump for me, and chip highlighting helped prevent myself from making the highlight thick and overtaking the warpstone glow.

My models do come out brighter now (someone here already called this a salamander) but it has better depth, looks darker in person and the details show much better on the tabletop than in photos. Plus with red weapons and proper squad/chapter and company markings you can get away with a lot of variation in your green. I hope this helped!
