A practical step-by-step guide to painting Edgerunners Kitted-Out Tech and Classic Rockerboy miniatures, with checkpoints for small-scale detail and neon cyberpunk schemes.
Quick answer
Paint your Edgerunners miniatures in this order: clean and prime, block in dark base colors, layer midtones, add neon accents, then seal with a matte varnish. For Kitted-Out Tech, keep the palette cool and metallic; for the Classic Rockerboy, use a louder, warmer scheme with one focal accent.
Why these two minis need different painting approaches
Kitted-Out Tech and Classic Rockerboy are both resin-printed single-shot miniatures from the remastered Cyberpunk RED: Combat Zone range, but their silhouettes push you in different directions. Tech is a detail-dense model where small equipment and tech elements can blur together if you use too many midtones. Rockerboy is a character piece where one strong color choice reads better than a busy scheme.
Both are small miniatures, so the practical rule is fewer colors, higher contrast, and a single focal point. If you try to paint every surface a different color, the model will look noisy at table distance.
What the catalog does and does not tell you
The catalog describes these as finely detailed resin-printed miniatures that come complete with their character, but it does not list scale, base size, or assembly requirements. Check the model in hand before you plan a paint scheme, and treat the steps below as a flexible order rather than a fixed recipe.
Step-by-step Edgerunners painting process
- Clean and inspect the resin: Wash the miniature in lukewarm soapy water, rinse, and let it dry fully. Check for mold release residue and any fragile details before priming. Do not prime over dust or residue; paint will flake later.
- Prime thinly: Apply two light coats of primer from about 20 cm, rotating the model between passes. A dark grey or black primer suits both miniatures. Stop before the primer looks wet; a heavy coat fills detail.
- Block in dark base colors: Use thinned paint to lay down the darkest version of each main color: cool blue-grey for Tech, warm dark red or purple for Rockerboy. Keep each area separate. If paint pools in recesses, you have too much on the brush.
- Layer midtones on large surfaces: Paint the raised areas of jackets, armor, and limbs with a midtone, leaving the base color visible in the deepest recesses. Work from large shapes to small ones. Check the model at arm's length; if the midtone disappears, lighten it.
- Add neon accents to one focal area: For Kitted-Out Tech, pick one piece of equipment or a visor and paint it a bright cyan or green. For Classic Rockerboy, use a single hot pink or electric yellow accent on the hair, instrument, or jacket panel. Limit neon to one or two areas; more than that flattens the contrast.
- Edge highlight the highest points: Use a fine brush and a lighter version of each base color to catch edges on shoulders, weapons, and boots. Keep the highlight thin and broken rather than a continuous line. If the highlight looks chalky, thin the paint more.
- Seal with matte varnish: Apply two thin coats of matte varnish, letting the first dry completely. This protects the paint during handling and play. Avoid spraying in high humidity; it can leave a frosty finish.
