UNSC Cadians in Warthogs ? Warhammer 40K.
« on: 31 October 2016, 10:31:14 AM »
Hi everyone, I saw many conversions on internet of Taurox Primes replaced by UNSC Warthogs from halo like this :

But unfortunately, there is 0 tutorials neither infos on which Warthog people are using, I've heard it's the Macfarlane one but same story there is alot of those !

I think it is this one used though : https://toywiz.com/mcfarlane-toys-halo-3-series-1-warthog-3-inch-diecast-vehicle/

But nothing I'm sure of.
If any of you are good at doing customs (For building an UNSC army) or could help me with this Warthog idea, It would be great !

Thanks to everyone !

This is the one I used several years ago https://www.amazon.co.uk/McFarlane-18183-Warthog-Halo-Vehicles/dp/B000WNGZBS (cheaper elsewhere I'm sure). You can take apart the vehicle quite easily for remodelling/painting. Awful photos, sorry...

This is exactly what I need ! But the model of halo 3 is very expensive on the link you've sent me though.

Is this one the same : https://toywiz.com/mcfarlane-toys-halo-3-series-1-warthog-3-inch-diecast-vehicle/ ???

PS: your converts look great

 The Haloclix Warthogs might be what you are after.They may also be cheaper too.

 Ebay has a few on now that might be worth checking out.

I've read on internet that they don't truly fit, or do they ?

The Wizkids haloclix work OK, but they're a bit big. I have a few of the Mcfarlane ones and they're much better, they've bene OOP for a few years and are getting expensive, but if you watch for them you can find them for $10 to $20 on ebay and such. The "Halo 3 series 1 warthog" is indeed the one you want to look for

Also notable: the proper McFarlane ones are *not* diecast. They're terrific plastic models, but the only metal in them is the screws. The ToyWiz model is the right one, if inaccurately described. The Haloclix ones are huge compared to those.

The clix ones are massive compared to 28mm. I sold mine almost as soon as I got them next to a mini. I've a load of the macfarlane ones awaiting conversion.

yep - same one. I posted the Amazon link because it was the first one I found (I did say you'd find cheaper ones).
