No Recipe, No Problem

I only had time for a little bit of painting tonight, but it is at least paint to model, so that's a start. I gave the Firestarter lance a coat of Caliban Green, because I'm fairly sure that's how I started the paintjob on the other mercenary battlemechs I've painted:

Although of course now I look at them I think it may have been Waagh Flesh instead...

 
The problem is that when I painted those, I didn't do what I normally do these days and write down the recipe in my little notebook of paint schemes, which means I'm now forced to look at the finished models and look at these ones and try to match it through memory and guesswork:

...and that green definitely doesn't seem right

 On the other hand, this is a mercenary outfit - even if they are quite large and (presumably) reasonably well equipped in the paint department, it wouldn't be unreasonable to have different shades of green on different mechs in the unit, so I'm not overly bothered. I'm more interested in planning the details. I want to do a mix of white panelling and various "nose" art such as stylised flames, and that sort of thing. Stay tuned, I suppose, to see what happens with that!
