well one of the things so many people in my after school club have said is can i just use usnc or covenant. so recently i have been working on a army list converting usnc and cvenant to actual people. my delema though is i do not own any halo games of halo books, i have only played through the halo 3 campaign once so really all i have is good old you tube. an all but the dark eldar, inquistion and necron codexes. anyways below are some units and ideas i have been thinking would be cool to field also i know this is way to much for one army list last thoug is what i am looking for is exact details like i currently have for marine on what kkind of armor wat kind of strength and all that. actually last dont say i am hurting 40k or anything because a lot of people would start playing 40k if with buddies they could play w halo

warhammer 40k usnc army and covenant army

hq

Spartan

if possible i think this unit should have lots of wounds, and have regeneration to represent how many hits they can live through and a special ability called jack ass which goes back to a old versionof 40k were you could jack enemy vehicles also with the morale abilitys of an etheial

commander

i kave no idea this is basically sergent johnsen

brute chieftain

great armour strength and toughness plus the god old gravity hammer. but what would be cool is if it also hit the enemy 6 inches away so they would have to take their next turn coming back to their sqad. basicaly an i g ogryn

Rather than changing the composition, you could just tie it into 1 dex mate


master of the forge with C.beamer on bike - Prophet in hover chair.

Sniper scouts - Jackels

Hammer + shield termies - hunters

Marine squad - unit of eltes:
power wep - energy sword
plasma pistol - plasma pistol
fuelrod cannon - plasma cannon

Just tie them into a marine dex for simplicity

Ugh, Halo.

Just counts-as Imperial Guard and use Strakken as Mister Chef.

I agree.

Uh, I have no idea what the OP meant for this thread.

Halo /=/ 40K

As others have said, counts as IG or SM

Thanks for the marine ideas and the point of this thread is to make an army list to try and get more people into 40k. forinstance i travel a lot around my home state of delaware and i know 9 people who play

Halo?

*Facepalm*

My suggestion:

Get a better after school club. It's possible to enjoy more than one sci-fi universe.

If it really must be tied to Halo.

UNSC = IG
Covenant = Tau or maybe Eldar sometimes, but mostly Tau

Pleeez. Use Strakken as Johnson. That dude is tough-as-nails.

Cheif would be more like a Space Marine Commander.

Use a Daemon Hunter Inquisitor as a counts as Master Chief. That way he can go off and fight by himself if he wants.

So can a SM captain. And an Inquisitor is only Str 3.

Then a Grey Knight hero would be better?

A grey knight hero has termie armour. Comparitively, masterchief sucks. His armour is more like flak...I mean power armour. With an invo.

Oh, don't be one of those 'popular=bad' people. I have an idea for a Halo TTG ruleset that I've been tinkering with recently, and there's still a lot to add considering how deep the setting is.

Well I suggested the Inquisitor because of the Grey Knight Hero's bulky armour

I'm not being one of those 'popular=bad' people. I've just been bored to tears by Halo since shortly after beating Halo 2. It's had it's time in the sun and I think it's time the franchise stops getting milked. All this coming from a guy who plays two flavors of Space Marines.
