"Guide for using GW paints for American 15mm infantry?" Topic

I just bought my first FoW set: a company of American infantry. I've found several painting guides for them, but they all use Vallejo paints. I have a bunch of Games Workshop paints, and I'd like to use those instead of buying a whole new set of paints.

I know that some of the bright minds at TMP must have a guide for painting American infantry using GW paints. I've Googled and found a few conversions, but the results weren't quite as good what I was hoping for. I've found some conversion tables, but not all Vallejo paints that I wanted to use are in those conversion tables.

The Battlefront conversion tables are all wrong I found. They keep telling you to use Camo Green on stuff that isn't green. This may not be totally right, but I recently finished platoon of battlefront U.S. Riflemen using these colours:

Helmets, bazookas, bazooka rockets and grenades: Catachan Green
Jacket: Desert Yellow
Pants: Snakebite Leather
boots & Helmet strap: Beastial Brown
Boot gaiters: Graveyard Earth
Skin: Tallarn flesh
Wood stocks: Dark Flesh
Metal on firearms and grenade caps: Boltgun Metal
Webbing/pouches/etcs: Kommando Khaki

Then I finished off the figures with a Delvan mud wash, but I imagine Badab black or Gryphonne Sepia would work. I hear good things about Gryphonne Sepia, but I don't have any and I keep forgetting to get some. Ogryn flesh might work as well.

Hope this helps. And if anyone has better colour suggestions, I'm welcome to them. I don't now, but will eventually have a company of them to do.

the above is excellent

You can also use Kommando Khaki and Catachan Green for jackets depending on timeframe and Khemri Brown for pants or gun stocks and shovel handles

Thanks for the suggestions! I'll give them a try.
