    Need some help painting SM: Salamanders

    Alright guys, I'm struggling. I need some help from you veteran painters. I have been having trouble getting the right shade of green for my Salamanders. Most I see are way too dark and I like the lighter yellow green shades. I found this picture on BoLS...And it's just perfect. It's the exact shade I want. I need to know how I can replicate it, any ideas?



    This is my ideal look for Salamanders...Now I just need to make it work.

    Looks like Goblin Green maybe.

    I recommend GW black primer, Orkhide Shade base, them Goblin Green or maybe Snot Green on top of that. Then highlight gently with Scorpion Green.

    Or maybe the Circle Orboros color set from PP, would give a bunch of colors for the whole model.

    Actually it's perfect, but I tried it and can't seem to get it too work. :/
