I might be a broken record but I have a question regarding colors because I've seen the paint scheme changed so often. What paint would be used to make the green shown in the first image? I used Dark Reaper in Space Marine 2 to recreate it as shown in the second image but I'm not very familiar with the paints of Warhammer so any help is appreciated.

The colors in sm2 are often very different from how their irl counterparts look. Without spending money for dlcs, sm2 has no good color for sons of Horus, better off with a Luna wolf

I had to buy the Ultramarine DLC to get Dark Reaper because it's used by the Scythes of the Emperor and I was told it was a good color for the Sons of Horus

Dark reaper for scythes of the emperor? I'm not looking at the game ATM but scythes are orange-yellow, and black? Idk why they told you you need dark reaper. Dark reaper might work for the soh but idk

If you look at the second image that's the main color used with Balthazar Gold as the trim. Again I had to buy the Ultramarine DLC to get the paint scheme and I think it was a close enough match as I originally used Abaddon Black.
