Opaque acrylicCitadel Layer

Warboss Green is a mid-tone moderate green with a cool undertone. For modelling, drop to Loren Forest in the recesses and step up to Kabalite Green on the edges, both Citadel paints. This color is somewhat distinctive: 2 brands offer a strong same-finish match, The Army Painter Greenskin closest at 83 percent. Cross-brand swaps are adjust-on-model territory here, useful as a starting point rather than an exact replacement.

Worth knowing before you swap: The Army Painter Greenskin runs clearly more saturated, which shows most where the paint thins over raised detail.
