AwesomeStar Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 Hey all. Recently I have been making some Halo 3 MOCs, just part of a new series and a game I'd love to see, that I call Halo: Marines. Having ordered BA Halo weapons, and am waiting to receive my decals from Justin Stebbins, I stumbled across a little problem: helmets. In my possession I currently have 2 sand-green kepi's, which I have used for Sgt. Johnson and G-Sgt. Pete Stacker, yet for the other 3 Marines I need a solution, relatively easy at that, for their iconic helmets. Help? ~A.S.
Big Cam Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 I thought brickforge made the HALO helmets too? Here we go, there are called the space marine helmet. http://www.brickforge.com/store/home.php?cat=290
AwesomeStar Posted November 2, 2009 Author Posted November 2, 2009 Ah, no. They are Halo helmets, yes, but they are for the Spartans. I'm looking for a decent marine helmet Reference pic: ~A.S.

OK, I hear you now. Dang, I think your best bet would be a Spartan helmet that you alter. For $1.50 it's probably your best bet. If Brickforge doesn't makes them, I doubt you'll find anything better. Sorry I wans't much help.

If Brickforge doesn't makes them, I doubt you'll find anything better. Sorry I wans't much help. Mhm. I think, in all honesty, I might just go ahead and use Stebbins' solution and use a Dk Gray Rock Raiders helmet. Maybe even paint it sand-green. I guess I just wanted to ask if anyone had any better ideas - the mods can close this if they wish, but I'd like it to stay open a while longer to take in other people's opinions? Thanks. ~A.S.
commdr_neyo Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 (edited) I think this is the best solution. Edit: Sorry I just skimmed AwesomeStar's post Edited November 2, 2009 by commdr_neyo
Omicron Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 Looking at the picture, while the Rock Raider helmet is good, I also think this might work as well, since it is a simlar design as well. -Omi
Spyder Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 I would buy a couple of these, and remove the visor, then cut the part off that's under the chin.

Spyder Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 They don't come with the visor. ;)-Omi Even better, that's one less step.

That hat is near PERFECT for the Marines Thank you Omi, now, lets see how much these babys are...
Inertia Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 You could use Citadel colors to paint it the same color as the Marines In-game, I think the correct color in Citadel's Range is a mix between Snot-Green and Salamander Green. Ive tried it before and it always works pretty well, but im not too sure it would go with the decals, ill try that now...

Inertia Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 Yeah Citadel Colors is owned by Games Workshop, who are based in the UK. You shouldn't have much trouble finding a store that carries them. Usually Hobby shops. I'd show them the color you want first so they can show you the right mixture.

Oh, okay, cool I'm completely torn between the Endor helmets and the Rock Raiders helmets. IMO, the Rock Raiders ones look the most accurate, and are substantially cheaper, but I just can't get the image of the Endor helmets out of my head. ~A.S.
Mraz Skintas Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 I personally prefer the Rock Raiders helmet. That's what I use for my Marines, and think it woks out rather nicely. -Skintas
AwesomeStar Posted November 4, 2009 Author Posted November 4, 2009 Rock Raiders it is then. Thanks for all your help guys, and this topic can now be handed over to the mod's wishes ~A.S.
LuxorV Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 Ok, then I'll close this to avoid future resurrections. LuxorV
