Need some Color Help.

I'm having a hard time with deciding on color. Which do you like better?

 

The light green is Citadel Death Guard Green

The darker is Army Painter Army Green

Neither has been shaded or highlighted.

DG green. Might be different with shades and highlights. But as is DG

I like the DG green better as well but it's honestly not very conclusive without seeing the finished thing including washes and highlights.

[Reyner]

DG Green for me :)

Now I know what the Army Painter army green reminds me of! It looks just like greenstuff lol

Perhaps use the Army Painter green, but go for a color scheme using black heavily as well. Sort of like The Purge, the old 2nd Edition Death Guard, or Black Legion Plague Marine-esque scheme. I'd wash it with Biel-Tan Green, MAYBE highlight it with Death Guard green or mix 50/50 Army Painter / Death Guard Green as a highlight.

ok, tried to do a little more to them. 

This is Army Painter base, Athonian Camoshade wash, Death Guard Green drybrush

 

And final light drybrush of Nurgling Green

Yep still like the DG Green best :D

Kinda hard to judge since both are so different pieces in different states of development (the Helbrute piece already has lots of details done that give contrast) but here I'd say I like the army painter green one better.

Deathguard green look so much better with heavy agrax earth shade.

I feel green shade dosent add much to the colors.

 

But in this comparison, the final color look very much the same to me.

Thanks everyone for your input. 

The more I worked at building up the colors with washes and drybrushing, the darker green won out for me. It somehow fits what I am seeing in my minds eye. The Death Guard Green base just feels too washed out, if that makes sense. 

 

So, I think the final scheme will be Army Green, Athonian Camoshade wash, Death Guard Green drybrush, Nurgling Green light drybrush highlight. 

 

I'll work on the Blightbringer more and post an update once I have him with the new colors, but I feel like its going to work. 

Even if it doesnt, since I used Vallejo Surface Primer, it'll strip clean really easy. Repainting him wont be that hard like if I had used a rattle can.
