How to paint "Werder Bremen" green

In the league I am playing in Germany, we have similar rules to the ones in the spanish LBN league: All teams have to wear names based on existing football teams. My norses are the Berserker Bremen (based on Bundesligaclub Werder Bremen).

The colours I want are those:

First I was thinking on using only the brighter green for plates and armour, and white or grey for the trousers. However, I am thinking on using both greens (the darker for the plates, the lighter for the trousers).

I would like you to help me with the following:

A) What scheme would be better?

B) How do I paint those greens? Please, if you give me indications, could you do it in the GW style? I mean:

a) use green colour x for basing
b) use wash x as a shade
c) use first lights with colour x
d) then apply extreme lights with colour x

Please, bear into mind that I have mostly the "old" GW colours (the ones just before the newest range).

Thanks a lot!

I would try Snot green for the warmer bottom half .
You can shade Snot green with 50/50 Snot/Dark angels green and Highlight with 50/50 Snot/Scorpion green.

I can't decide on the top darker colour.

Initially I was going to say a colder Scaly green, but looking at other WB Kit pictures on the web I think Dark Angels green would do it.

This can be highlighted with Snot, but i'd be tempted to add white to Dark angels and use that.

Good luck!

- Cool kit by the way, it would look great for a BB team

Dark green with a dark blue wash

I would keep the top green as dark as you can and the highlight will end up green I the end. Then a mid green with a bit more yellow in and they should sit nicely
