Helldivers 2 meets Warhammer 40,000 in this fan-made set of miniature figurines of the Kaskrin Kill Team. The set of miniatures is perfectly camouflaged and painted over as divers from Helldivers 2. The set looks nearly accurate as well, with the weapons swapped to those used in Helldivers 2 among other changes made to the characters.
The figurines are coated in black and yellow with the Helldivers logos in various sizes and shapes. Warhammer 40,000 features miniature warriors and vehicles engaging in a battle in a turn-based model as players take turns to move their warriors. Helldivers 2, on the other hand, is a co-op third-person shooter game. Despite the differences between the two titles, this cross-over looks perfect.
Fan Creates Perfect Cross-over Between Helldivers 2 and Warhammer 40,000
The Kill Team Karskin miniature set from Warhammer 40,000 contains ten figures of Kill Team soldiers from the game, each with a unique set of weapons including grenade launchers, and a back-mounted power pack. The soldiers can be assembled on a round base and come unpainted for players to get creative.
One fan used their creativity and a set of yellow Neon Averland Sunset paint paired with dark black to create nearly perfect Helldivers 2 figurines.

Those who responded to the post on X were highly impressed by the accuracy and the paint job along with the weapons wielded by each of the mini figures. The quality of the materials also looks outstanding, with the figures in a matte finish on an all-black rotating base.
At the center of the base, there’s also a guard dog made using spare thrusters from space marine backpacks, and the sergeant’s plasma pistol. The entire set wasn’t put up for sale but would make for a good desktop set for any Helldivers fan.
For those wondering, the fan had also posted a thread of posts detailing the steps that went into creating the Helldivers figurines from the Kill Team set of figures.
Thread of Posts Reveal the Detailed Methods Used
A detailed thread on X shows all the changes starting with a figure with a Lasgun. The Lasgun was made to look more like a Liberator. Another figure with a closed fist was slightly modified and used to show a grenade-throwing arm in action and then a few other figures were modified to include some shotgunners.
A fuel tank from the backpack was added to a weapon as a flamethrower, while some ammo crates from a Skorpius Dune rider were all cut and glued back together to create a resupply pack. As for the paint, a black primer was used as the base and concluded with freehand decals and details.
The end product was beyond impressive as they included high details on nearly every corner of each of the mini figures.
