A really basic recipe to batch paint battleline models.

Prime black and then…

1. Layer metallics with 2 layers of Gold/Pale Blue
2. Basecoat cloth & tassel Dirty Red . First coat over the whole surface, for the second just cover the top 1/2 because the other colors will be below and you don’t waste time/paint.
3. Layer cloth & tassel Magenta over the bottom 2/3 of the cloth
4. Layer cloth & tassel Deep Purple over the bottom 1/3 of the cloth. You might need to glaze this to get a smooth gradient.
5. Basecoat skin Deep Purple
6. Basecoat trousers & weapon handles Tenebrous Grey
7. Basecoat base grey 1:2 mix of Tenebrous Grey + Offwhite
8. Basecoat rim Tenebrous Grey

BATTLE READY!!! YAY!!!
