Any dark green should do it! |

I use Coat d'Arms US Dark Green, looks right at small 15mm scale/size |

Since the uniforms were made by hand there was probably quite a bit of variation in the actual shade. Cerdic probably has the best answer. I usually use Orkhide shade or Dark Angels Green as the base. |

Dark angels green with alittle bit of black to deepen it down, then black wash, followed by a dry brush of dark angels green. Mix camo green in a tad at a time and lightly dry brush to highlight. |

Hooker's Green in artist oils or acrylics is pretty good. Green Umber is closer to the correct colour, but then the belts, etc., don't show up well. |
