Project overview
Once again, the Duncan Rhodes Painting Academy and Trans Atlantis Games have come together to create a brand-new wave of 60 more paints for miniatures and models! This second wave doubles the size of the Two Thin Coats range to 120 paints, and 6 effects paints!
Duncan and our TAG paint team have been developing our paint further, refining our highlight paints and working hard on making sure our well-received metallics get extra attention!
Two Thin Coats Wave 2 builds on the same high quality formulas as Wave 1 mixing high pigment count with a smooth base to give your miniatures an amazing finish.
Introducing all the colours in Wave 2:
We've added 13 brand new triads to the range, with additional tones of red and blue, as well as adding Turquoise, Pink and Jade Green to the mix. We've expanded on our range of skin tones as well rounding out the range with an Olive Drab set of tones, a Green Grey as well as a set of Ochres!
These colours are designed to supplement and add to your highlights. When you need a brighter, stronger paint, reach for a bright! Hellspawn Red is Duncan's favorite, bringing a rich, bright, intense red for your painting projects.
Our new Metallics are unique in that they move away from the Triad system and gives you a selection of Bronze, Brass, and Coppers as well as a dark Iron to supplement our excellent existing gold and silvers.
Expanding on our 6 existing washes, we have Blue, Red and Purple to get that perfect colour to shade your miniatures.
Finally, we are adding a brand new type of paint to our range. The community asked, we've delivered! 6 primary and secondary tones to act as filters for your paint jobs.
We've had fun developing Wave 2, and we hope you'll enjoy using them on your painting projects.
Duncan and Peter from TAG joined Sprues & Brews for an exclusive chat about the Second Wave. Check it out below:
More information on the video, and a transcript can be found here
Our friends at The Pickle Jar were also able to get a sneak peak at the new wave! You can see there video below:
In order to keep our campaign as simple and quick to fulfil as possible, we have decided to only include 3 reward tiers in this campaign. Backers can pledge for either a complete set of Wave 2, a complete set of Wave 1, or both sets together! Additional complete sets will be available at checkout.
During our initial campaign on Kickstarter, we unlocked some absolutely awesome extras that we want to share with all of you! By grabbing a pledge here on Gamefound, you'll be able to get these exciting extras:
Backers who purchase Wave 1 or 2 will receive one set of these rewards, with the special effect paints matching the Wave that they purchased. Backers who snag a complete package will receive 2 copies of all of these rewards, and all 6 special effect paints.
Duncan has been busy testing the new paints (along with paints from wave 1) on some miniatures for you to see examples of the paints in action.
And, our own team of awesome painters, Peter Buxton, Sam Rowlands, and Alex have been putting the new wave through it's paces as well!

Tale of Painters
"The consistency is incredibly creamy and silky smooth." " The paints go on super smoothly and won't leave any streaks at all.""I was really impressed with how pleasant they are to work with and I own over 1,000 of paints from all miniature paint brands out there.""Even when heavily diluted for glazing you get a beautiful even result". "I found the coverage to be way above average as well.""Two Thin Coats has a silky smooth consistency, superior pigmentation and high opacity. The metallics are amazing and the washes are richer."
Ninjon

They have very fine pigments, they're super smooth to apply and the coverage is great."

Two Thin Coats Wave 2 have all been formulated by Duncan and the formulation chemists from the ground up, just as they did with Wave 1. This will assure that the paints will once again be of the highest quality. With the first campaign under our belt, where we faced many obstacles that are now behind us, we enter this next chapter with a clearer vision, many great suggestions from our backers, and a lot of experience, so we have adjusted to make sure we avoid the pitfalls of the past
