RT Project - Kroot

Just about everything I've painted for my Pulp 40k projects has been human: either the Emperium of Man, or it's twisted opponents. But sometimes you just need an alien. I was poking around GW's website before Christmas and I noticed they'd re-released the Kroot, so I picked up a box for just such an eventuality. Just as well I did: the January scenario requires aliens!

I made a couple of modifications to the rifle: I really don't like the downward facing blades at each end of the rifle. Cutting the front one off was simple. A little more work at the back, trimming a bit of it off to get a good looking stock for the rifle.

I ruminated on colour schemes for awhile: grey green, pale blue? I ended up going turquoise as it's a colour I haven't used a great deal, so nice for some variety.

Scouring the internet, I'd seen some other examples of Kroot with spots, so thought I'd give it a try. They aren't quite so pronounced it real life.

The scenario requites a few more of these fine chaps, but the deadline for the game is looming. I'll see how I go!
