From BrettM: Heavy Starship Troopers Klendathu (45 Points)

First submission of the Challenge is finally here. Always seem to push to the limit due to holidays and catching up. 


So recently started looking at this old Starship Troopers game. I wanted to start painting some figures for it and had these guys sitting around.


So went with a gray pattern as in the movie and figured these would be more of the "heavy weapons" guys 


Still searching for some figures for normal infantry. Will have to fire up the resin printer for most of this if I keep going with it. Really like the helmets how they are half open. Painted the helmets separately and then glued on after finished with their faces. 

First submission at 5 models at 5 points each for 25 plus 20 for Klendathu.

Welcome back to the Challenge Brett!

These troopers look brilliant (and a perfect choice for Klendathu). I'm curious, are they 3D prints, or are they from the game? I quite like their angular, plate armour, which your two-tone grey accentuates very nicely. I also think the red alien ground really make pop. Great work!

  4. Great looking figures and paint job. I always wondered why there has never been a successful Starship Troopers game, it seems like such a no brainer for a miniature game…

  7. I agree with Natasha, the basing looks fantastic against the mechanical grey of the armour- nice work!
