The purpose of this blog is so I can showcase the various conversions I have made in my attempts to create themed armies from a variety of sci fi universes.
I shall be posting about each of these in turn, posting photos and how I made the figures, where possible.
Recently I started thinking about creating an army based upon the Halo universe. I have been a fan of Halo for many years and have long wished that 28mm scale figures existed for Halo's marines, Spartans and Covenant warriors. Having decided that I would have to convert my own I started looking for inspiration.
I felt that the ODSTs of Halo would be a good starting point. I had some visored helmets from Pig Iron and some legs I picked up from maxmini which are almost a perfect match for the marines of Halo.
This is the result.
While they are not perfect copies I feel they are close enough to be recognisable. The squad is made up of a Sergeant with a rifle and suppressed pistol, assault rifle, two SMGs, 2 battle rifle, SAW, sniper rifle, LMG and shotgun. The Pig Iron helmets have been altered with green stuff to extend the peak to make it more like an ODST helmet. The cadian lasguns have been converted to make them more "Haloish" and a scout sniper rifle and heavy bolter have been used. Backpacks are Pig Iron system trooper packs and weapon scopes are from Anvil industries. I may post some more pictures to better show some of the individual figures if anyone shows interest.
Future planned projects include a warthog, pelican and some standard marines.
Thanks for reading!
