Halo: A 28mm wargaming project: covenant troops cast finally.

[Brummie]

Awesome work! Loving the red one!

[dwartist]

Yep....I like them!!

Hello!  First time posting on here.  Your minis have inspired me.  I am ordering a bunch of sys. troopers from rattlehead games.

[Commander Vyper]

Excellent, glad to have inspired.




Another two blue team painted last night and a further seven prepped and ready for this weekend, with three more to prep, then I need to go back to the master bodies and do a bit of kit bashing

Hoist the colours!

[Powered Armored Stooge]

OOO You're doing Slayer Spartans!!!!

Are you going to make their flags??

[Commander Vyper]

Flags would be stockpile or Capture The Flag, rather than slayer...but yes I'll be making flags too!

Just placed an order with Pig Iron today for another pack of system troopers and special weapons troopers. Also got a nice little gift through from Lise and Si, the new sniper/spotter team and the scenic ruins, very nice:



More later just been setting up the paint station for another blue and two more reds, keep you posted.

, I already imagine when some plastic manifacture will release the non-halo troops, 30 for 20£, and you will die for happiness...

Still i don't know if it is a fear or a wish for you

[Commander Vyper]

LOL, like that's gonna happen.

For marines I'm still torn between those plastic cadian kitbashes, and Heresy sci-fi trooper.

Perfect for marines, even thought about the closed face heads to use them as odst's, but that's worked out well with the scout space marines I reckon.

Anyway I'm leaning towards the Heresy ones in the main, (ANDY SCULPT MORE!!!!!) just wish I could get the look right on the plastics, will have another play once I've got these spartans sorted. I'm not stopping on these until all 16 are painted, plus a few armour loadout specials. Then I'll move back to the slayer spartans and ODSTs.

Cheers

I'd go with the heresy ones, they look so close to spot on.
However I also think the heavy troopers from PI arent a million miles off either.
I've made up a few out of imperial guard using cadian torsos and catachan legs but I was never happy with the heads. I think the closest heads are heresy by far for marines.

Well I've got 16 so should be enough gun fodder..erm I mean support against the covenant I think I'll stick with the cadians for hog crew etc.. colour schemes help alot to pull similar figures together. You can see what I did with plastics earlier in the thread, kinda a halfway house between marines and odsts. Might use them for a human protagonist force at some stage.

Cheers

Looking good and the figures seem ideal for Halo

[Commander Vyper]

New Reds:



Another custom helmet I had cast up, looks really spot on.





Another Red painted, sniper: That CSO peackeeper helmet again, really suits the MkV look.

Group shots with Warthogs.

Blue:

[Mr.J]

Awesome! The only word for them really.

[Hrothgar]

Its really great seeing all this hard work coming to fruition, CV!

[AKULA]
