From the same twitter feed, teenagers with attitude taking a selfie:

That girl must have a really small dick to feel the need to compensate with that ridiculous revolver.

[Furtuka]

That sweater though

[scriver]

The guy on the left: Go away, STALKER!

That sweater though

I think it's the same kind of uniform that Bradford wore.

Also, they pretty much nailed the "roughed up" look, it looks like, if we assume the rest to be similar.

Well, except for Mr skullface there. Taking it a bit too far, dude. "I spend 20 minutes every morning putting on clown make up in spoopy patterns" is not something I associate with "tough veteran guerilla soldiers" :v

[Wimopy]

I'm sure aliens and ADVENT soldiers are terrified of skull face painting.

Or the kid watched too much CoD.

Oh yeah, will we be getting ragtag soldiers or theoretically elite ones again?

[Sheb]

Hey, dont blame him. there must not be that much entertainment available on the spaceship.

[Krevsin]

Or maybe he's a recruit from the United States of Juggalo.

[Wimopy]

True, for all we know, it might be some religious thing.

Actually, sounds cool as a self-imposed challenge/plot

Tribal challenge:
-all soldiers must have face paint
-only melee is accepted

Or anti-alien supremacy version:
-all soldiers must wear white and hoods
-may only use human weapons,  no alien tech

Quickedit: that second one would be hilarious if TV shows footage of XCOM's alleged terrorist attacks. Hilarious in a dark, twisted way, but hilarious nonetheless.

Ragtag. Which I think will fit the level of abstraction of action better. Iirc they've said things like "recruiting troops from all walks of life".

Trenches full of poets
A ragged army
Fixing bayonets to charge the other line

Hey, dont blame him. there must not be that much entertainment available on the spaceship.

IT'S A GODDAMNED SPACESHIP
:v

[Majestic7]

The skullface is clearly a facial tattoo. Embittered by the lack of employment, he became a violent rebel terrorist.

Have you played Mass Effect? Poor Garrus' main hobby is calibrating. And that's even in ME2 when the ship was made luxurious.

Besides, kid prob grew up after XCOM lost, I think spaceships lost their wow factor after 2 decades of alien rule.

[scriver]

In ky xcok I'll make it part of regulation for all troops to be in a constant sense of childlike wonder and perpetualy awed by the fantastic experience of being aboard a goddamn starship.

And I'll hear no more about it!

The skullface is clearly a facial tattoo. Embittered by the lack of employment, he became a violent rebel terrorist.

     Worse than that....He was a mime, and sought to bring his personal brand of mind-numbing terrorism to the aliums.

     Beware of his terrifying sequence of walking against the wind, then being blocked by an invisible wall, all the while whistling silently.

[KingofstarrySkies]

I wonder if the Faceless is an alien from before...?

[Rolan7]

Celatids had no face either.  Coincidence??
Wait no, they *actually* had no face

... These are pretty humanoid looking actually, yet they aren't sectoids or mutons.  I'm thinking they're altered humans.  Possibly rejects from developing the ADVENT genemods.  They even kinda look like TftD's Deep Ones.
