Not from the core set but as I wanted to try them in a list I thought I’d better paint them first.
Paint scheme as before however when I looked at the card art I noticed that they were wearing colour metal breast plates rather than default silver/grey. I therefore picked up some Vallejo Mecha Color Metallic Red (69.066) thinking I’d use that. When I tested it however it was way too bright, almost pink like. I experimented added different washes and paints but in the end I found simply adding the Contrast Red I was using gave the best results. The added benefit appears to be that it also behaves more like the contrast to. Result. (see individual mini pic for mixed red vs cloth/contrast red.)
