May I suggest looking at the Pig Iron heads? If I remember rightly some of them look right for Halo Marines.

Santa, will teleporting to our doom be fun and christmassy?

HO HO HO, of course it will, you hideous fool!


besides some stuff for my chaos marines that i asked for i have nothing to contribute to the progress of the blog.
i just felt like saying merry christmas.

You know, you should make a stormlord as a Grizzly.

Will you be making any jackels? An what about etherals? will the be playing the roles of the prophets?
But you guys have done great work. I'll try to find a close up of an elite's head and maybe I'll pm one of you guys alternatives.

Hey cadian 45th and children of filth. Here are some pics for you of an elites hea for you to examine.

I'm not so keen on Grunts as Fire Warriors. They seem more like Kroot if anything. Elites would make better Fire Warriors, IMHO.

Otherwise, fun stuff. I'd love to see it painted.

yay, a 3d image! unless i can find something to base it on i'll sculpt it from scratch to the best of my ability from this image.

are you kidding?! i'm not sculpting that many elites! grunts are the mainline infantry! and kroot are brutes anyway.

list of species time;

fire warriors: grunts

commander: elite commander

stealth suits: stealth elites

kroot: brutes

vespid: drones

pathfinders: jakals

sheild/gun drone: sentinals!



that's off the top of my head, i haven't got the codex handy.

not to force opinion but i have some different rules suggestions, IMPERIAL GUARD

grunts - guardsmen (the sarge has red armour)

grunts with turret - heavy weapons squad (they have green armour)

special ops grunt - special weapons team (they have black armour)

command grunts - platoon command (officer has white armour the rest have red armour)

elite commander - lord commisar (the white armour of awsomeness)

elites - storm troopers (sarge has red armour)

arbiter - sly marbo

brutes - ogryns

prophet - company commander (probably truth because he was the head one

tartarus - nork deddog (or a honour guard brute or elite?)

additional prophets - regimental advisors (like regret and mercy)

drones - penal legionaires

jakals - carapace armour vets or ratling snipers

hunters - sentinals

wraith - basilisk

ghost - rough rider

covernant drop ship - valkrie

*a banshee would be a scout sentinal but it seems un practical although the scout move through cover does give them a fast speed*

honestly the models are looking realy good and *due to my past halo fanism* i would really like to see them done by the books seeming your putting so much effort in but do remember im not demanding just helping with some *some would say nerdy* advice if you want i can also do this for the unsc army IF you want.

cheers from the merry psychosamatic

Are hunters going to be part of your army?
If you do I suggest using some sort of battle suit.

Do you mean you're converting the kroot into brutes?


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Children of filth, you can try using a guant head for an elite.

Well, I actually tend to agree with psychosamatic's view of the Covenants...
That is, they fit best (not perfectly, I agree) with the IG...

Well, what made me fall for it was the Sly Marbo / Arbiter comparison, that's really a nice one!!!

But that's your army anyway, and if you plan on adding drones to it, I bet the Vespids will do the job better than any IG trooper... Or have you seen jump infantry in the latest Codex?!?

Na, seriously, keep up the good job, your models are terrific...

And everybody love Halo so go on!!!

Hey CoF and TC45th, why not ask another guy to to make some flood?

and use chaos daemon codex nurgle proxy

Nah. Flood seem more like a tyranid army. You know thousands of swarming creatures striking to get at frwsh biomass.

true but then wouldnt the bubled be more nurgling like? seeming there not as big adn dangerous a sa guant, and you could convert daemons as mutated human/covernant?

interesting im lookinmg forward to seeing more!

physcosamatic wrote:true but then wouldnt the infection forms be more nurgling like? seeming there not as big and dangerous as a guant, and you could convert daemons as mutated human/covernant?

Hmmm, seems to me that flood woul be a tyranid/nurgle army.

May be worth your while looking at Old Crow for the vehicles as well as Pig Iron for the heads.

Flood Nurgle

Nurglings: annoying floating ones
Plaguebearers: infected humans, elites...
can't think of anything else right now, and I don't have the daemons dex.

Just my 2 cents.

Troll Creatures: GUO or DP.
Epi: Infected Monitor or Prophet from Halo 2

id use epi as gravemind or a greater daemon as a gravemind, blood letters as infected elites with energy swords, plauge bearers are general infected elite maybe the troll creatures can be a blood letter on a juggernaught counts as? and infected brutes as fleshhounds and maybe daemonettes as infected humans

I had a flood idea like that once, wanted to convert all the contents of AOBR into chaos space marines and that was my brilliant plan.



If you can see it well enough, ive got tenticles poking out from under his chin but I should have put his head decaying more. My plan was:

Lash prince (hive mind) - Scratch modelled

Lash Sorcerer (infected Spartan) - Modelled from AOBR Captain.

Terminators (5) - Lightning Claws, Mark of Slaneesh (to represent their leap into battle)

Dreadnought - Lascannon (for AT, if the flood can pilot complex star ships they can sure as hell infect a dreadnought.

Plague Marines (10) - (sangheilli class flood)

Raptors (10) modelled from spare Imperial Gaurdsmens, leaps into battle like human class flood (jetpack), 3+ Sav represents their evasive actions.

If you ever plan to tour through NZ, i'd be willing to put time and money into this old' project... Lol.

Hey every one

Now its been a long time since any of us posted, we figured since the season to be jolly is long over it was time to get back to work. Plus one other thing motivated me to start. The new pritty pictures of halo: reach, i belive i might have to incorporate some things from that into this project.

So no work has been done on the pelican what so ever, because ive decided to take a step back on the project and design every thing properly and slowly, instead of quick and acurate. But i came up with these, the scorpians body has to be green stuffed to fill in the gapes and also do i have to improve on the sniper any way.

The cadian 45th

Here's a pic of a halo sniper rifle with the chief for size reference. Hope this helps.

yea extend the barrel

Hello there everyone

At the request of posters i have extended the barrel of the sniper rifle, please tell me what you think and if i need to improve on the sniper, also please tell me what you think of the scorpian tank body, And of course i will clean the rifle once the gs is dry.

The cadian 45th

The sniper rifle looks good, but the barrel still looks pretty short when compared to the picture. Have you thought about using brass rod for the barrel? Stuff's pretty effective.

Also, how big is it compared to your "base model" for Master Chief?

well ill see once i clean it up, but the brass rodd is considerd, and the rifle is about 1mm longer than a lasgun.

The cadian 45th

Definately go with brass rod for the barrel, it works great. And don't skimp on the length!

Tank looks a good start. Is that the main body "done" or are you going to work on the shape some more? Scorpions are very angular, and from memory I can spot at least two parts on there that should slope.

yeah i still need to do the "cone" at the front and fill in gapes, but yeah its the start of the body.

The cadian 45th

Amazing, but for marines do normal Guardsmen rules and for ODSTs do Vet rules. That would be EPIC
