I hadn’t really realised how much black, grey and silver features in the costumes of Star Trek Aliens. Everything is so bright in Star Trek that I guess I hadn’t really twigged until I started painting these. I’m keen to do things with details and basing to give them some more interest and variation.

Over a primer of GW Grey Seer spray, here I’ve started blocking in some basic colours using GW Contrast paints. Colours used so far are basic – Black Templar for trousers/coat. Guilliman Flesh and Medium for Romulan skin. Cygor Brown and Guilliman Flesh and Medium for Klingon skin.

So this is now the completed starter box of Star Trek: Away Missions. I do like the window in the box now the miniatures are all painted.

This picture also shows the additional Klingon (red) and Romulan (green) dice packs I picked up.

These are the team I’ve enjoyed painting the most. Almost entirely contrast blacks, greys and working up flesh tones/red glazes on the skin. They have a real sense of menace to them despite the cartoony sculpts.

The bases were painted black and then given a few really thin washes of green and yellow to settle as a glow effect. Worked quite well.
