Aliens Themed Astra Militarum Kill Team

Above this, you’ll find the terrain that came from the Astra Militarum kill team box set. In my honest opinion these Kill Team box set saves you a ton of money so you can buy some more GW products down the road. Its a pretty decent pricing model.

The build is pretty straight forward, quick, and painless. Only if you follow the directions that is for sure. I had painted it up to continue the gritty world that is Aliens. However I did not magnetize the doors due to my impatience when it comes to building and painting in the hobby.

I added some blue OSL on some of the lighting locations. Then added some rust and mud effects for each piece. I saw someone actually made some palettes, I might consider that. I’ll start posting the rest of my Colonial Marines soon. Below is my Commander, Commissar Ellen Ripley.

So I decided to go off of my plan to be strictly by the book with the characters from Aliens. Its week 4 of the Kill Team Campaign I am in and with Commander Expansion releasing this Saturday, I  started working on my Warhammer 40,000 version of Ellen Ripley. I kit bashed this piece using parts primarily from the plastic Commisar you get from the Scion’s start collecting box set.

I had figured that I would go this route because I’ll be getting the same Commisar model anyways from the Commander Expansion. Commisar Ripley has a few parts from the Cadian and Catachan Command Squad sprues. The head is from a female Sequitor from the quick snap fit kit. Her power first came from the Tactical Squad box set. I hope I did her Justice and now I just wait for the rules to arrive.
