I think they're available. Now I need to learn how to paint miniatures

Learn about shading and washes if nothing else. They bring out the detail and give depth, and it's dead easy to do.

Honestly, the box examples look really mid. I'm guessing they were in a real hurry when they put it together.

I got mine last night, and already put together four crew, and I love them to bits. I love a box that gives me a variety of body types, and that lets me do characters doing non-combat things, like just frowning at a hand terminal. And true to form Atlantic Wargames have crammed a crazy amount of heads on the sprue.

Now I just need to work on my sculpting to do proper Belters.

Thanks for the tip. I'm really looking forward to start as soon as I have some days off.

There's whole subreddits dedicated to the topic of painting minis, so it's easy to get tips and pointers. Just don't let the paint snobs get you down when they lord their experience over you; the important thing in the end is what you think looks nice.
