What citadel colours were used to paint the trousers and gas mask?

[MechaMan]

Starting to paint up my death korps kill teams in anticipation for the new box set. I want to paint them in the colours of the 158th regiment (may they rest in penal legion peace). I've settled on colours for the greatcoat and most other elements but can't quite decide on the trousers ("pants") or the gas mask. Can anyone help me identify the colours in the official 'eavy metal scheme. There's an official youtube channel video, but it uses Death Korps Drab (a green) whereas the ones in the box art seem more brown to me? TA

Looks like Dryad Bark to me, but don't quote me. I would say Rhinox HIde, but it looks less warm, hence why I say Dryad Bark.

Thanks! Will give it a go this week and post the results

The color of the trousers look more like Stormvermin Fur (grey with brownish tint) to me with a thinned wash of agrax earthshade over it.

Thanks! Going to try dryad bark first, if that doesn’t work I’ll get Stormvermin Fur. What would you use to highlight?

For Dryad bark I'd do my first Highlight with Gorthor Brown then an extreme highlight of Karak stone...

Apologies for being late to the party, but I was intrigued by this as I've been looking at that scheme for another project.  Anyway, on Reddit, I found an old post where the painter used Death Korps Drab but used a wash of Basilicanum Grey and their colours seem like a good match.

Oh that does look pretty spot on! I’ll pick up basilicanum grey and paint them up and post the results
