I love everything about your DA's green armor formula until we get to the 2nd (or third depending on if mixing warp stone 50/50 for 1st highlight) of Moot green. It's not just you, it's used by practically everyone for DAs but I think Moot green is way too biohazard goo or Halloween spooky or ghostly ooze BRIGHT for DA's, IMO. The only time it looks 1/2 good is at the hands of someone with super tiny clean lines like Infernal Brush or Brushstrokes that only uses it on highest highlights not Evay Metal style. Most the time it's too bright and gloopy looking. I've watched literally 50+ DA's greening painting videos, if not more, and has no one come up with a better final (2nd or 3rd) stage highlight than moot green? I've tried Moot green on my own mini's and feel the same, It's too stark bright. I plan on experimenting with different highlights starting from Caliban green + white or Warpstone +White or even Moot + Warpstone and see what happens. Just wonder if you've tried a different highlight.
