Hello,

What Vallejo references (preferably) do you recommend for Nassau infantry and British rifles? Supposedly, they are different.

I paint at 15mm.

Thank you

Dark green.

I use Vallejo Black Green for Rifles (and Russians). On 15mm figures it does come out very dark but still just about recognisable as green. For Nassauers (and French dragoons etc) I use a Dark Green I got from Ral Partha Europe.

thanks.

Eventually, I have used Uniform green for Nassau (too light but with a dark wash, that fits the bill)

and

German luftwaffe dark green for the Rifles. It is a notch lighter than Dark Green.
