Standard way to paint New Wave models. Used so far for New Wave Expansion Pack Alpha (3 miniatures: 1 Teucer with Plasma Sniper Rifle, 1 Patroclus with Heavy Rocket Launcher, and 1 Contrabandolero Hacker with Submachine Gun).

First time I've painted New Wave and was a fun way to do some more distinct colour. Wanted to make sure red really worked (had to try a few different paints before settling on contrast as base and then highlighting up from there)

  1. Basecoat Black Dark Gray RLM42 USAAF Light Gray

apply black as pure basecoat, and then the darker to lighter grey as zenith highlight
