Reach Spartans n Marines
Here’s a cool piece of art depicting Jorge and Emile tending to a needler strewn Marine, while another Marine looks on.

Halo 4 poster
My favorite of today’s finds. This reminds me much of the newer Star Wars posters. Ah, if only Halo had a movie…

A very cool fan made Covenant Storm Rifle!

Posted on by

Andrew Cook (@AndrewCookDFT) has become quite renowned for his fan made Halo props. Below is his latest creation almost complete.
Covenant Storm Rifle fan made
Click on the pic and you’ll see that he indeed has the hexagonal texture that most Covenant weapons have on them.

Andrew is quite talented. Some prop maker should hire him and then seek out a license with 343/Microsoft to make these for Halo fans/collectors.

He already has an impressive collection of fan made UNSC and Promethean weapons.
