A useful paint guide should connect colour accuracy, handling, and recipe context in one place.
Use Loren Forest as your main layer colour and build it up with thin, controlled coats. It has medium coverage. Thin it moderately. Good companion colours include Caliban Green, Warboss Green, Athonian Camoshade and Agrax Earthshade.
Do not force the basecoat into an NMM-style finish. It behaves much better in a standard layered workflow.
