Nice detail painting the pouch closure toggles a differnt colour.

Cheers mate. I experimented with 2 greens I bought on a whim last week in Boyes, Citadel Deathworld Forest and Death Guard Green (why do they have such stupid names lol) and a couple of shirts/trousers in Vallejo Green Grey and Russian Uniform. All washed with camoshade and highlighted with the original colour.

Cheers mate, I don't get your last bit, do they get a wendy on about using their names?

They trademark their paint names so you cannot just use "ultramarine" paint from other manufacturers (except the Great Womble no longer makes an Ultramarine paint) in the same way they do not make elves or orcs or dwarfs (or imperial guard etc...).
