wiplash Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 well we appear to be in luck look what i found!!! According to official product launch dates over at Spawn.com, the McFarlane Halo 3 figures we've all known about will launch sometime in March 2008, but there will be other series' coming later in the year. Series two is scheduled to land at retail a few months later in June 2008 including such highlights as ODST, Drone, Mongoose and Wraith figures. Series three is planned for an August 2008 release and includes figures like a Human Flood, Brute Captain, Banshee and Scorpion. That's not all, August will also bring a special 12" Master Chief figure and October 2008 will see the release of three highly stylized figures. Wowzaz! And for easier digestion, we posted a list of figures, release dates and a series breakdown after you click towards the break. these are the ones that are out at the moment Halo 3 Series 1 (March 2008)- Master Chief (red paint variant) - Cortana - Brute Chieftain - Jackal Sniper - Grunt - Spartan Soldier - Brute Chopper - Ghost - Warthog and these beasts are to come! Halo 3 Series 2 (June 2008)- Master Chief - Brute Stalker - ODST - Drone - Arbiter - Spartan Soldier - Scarab - Wraith - Mongoose Halo 3 Series 3 (August 2008) - Master Chief - Elite Combat - Brute Captain - Human Flood - Jackal Major - Spartan Soldier - Banshee - Hornet - Scorpion Tank ooooh yeah im so gonna get a bunch of mongooses, hornets and scorpions what are ODST's and drones??

Jaspercation Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 drones are those annoying bug things that fly at you and have plasma pistols and normally attack in swarms, but they're easy to kill, (although probably the most annoying enemy) think vespid singwings but in halo terms :nuke: drones and i was thinking of making an odst type helmet etc, for my imp strom troops, cause they look soooo cool, dont think they'd work with power armour though, but might be worth a shot? ODST helljumpers (the pics are those who dont know about / arent obssessed by halo :P) anyone planning to try and use anything else halo related for they're armies? i like the idea of using hornets, but what would you use them as???? they're kinda a bit too big and powerful to be land speeders, but waaaay to small to be a thunderhawk? ps. thank you bobpanda you are a god :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/134058-4x4-landspeeder/page/4/#findComment-1562825 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hornets wouldn't work too well I think as you said, might be ok for guard though not SM Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/134058-4x4-landspeeder/page/4/#findComment-1562863 Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelastonestanding Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I've just ordered a Warthog now all I need is the guys and the landspeeder cockpit :rolleyes: I'm going to use mine as attack bike as I believe it is more fitting, So I'll have to order atleast 1 more. Which will have to wait to the weekend. Bob Panda why not try making some Space Marine vehicles out of other halo things. I know I'd love to see it.

Kayesh Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 well according to the hornet armamnet it has 2 missile launchers and 1 chain cannon, with 1 pilot, seems like a very close fit to a land speeder tempest to me Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/134058-4x4-landspeeder/page/4/#findComment-1562915 Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrotherDamascus Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 just saw a chopper in person the other day - they look a little to small for 40k - some serious bending and shortening of the legs would be needed XD its a shame the actauly figures are so huge (i bougt a white spartan to sit next to my 360 ^_^) ... it would be great in a more tabletop size - i may start collecting IG then :P huge Orbital drop shock trooper army XD slightly OT: seeing as laods of questions are being thrown around about ODST's, i thought id be charitable and post this: linky back OT : awesome progress with the Warthogs mate the painting rocks! best of luck with the other 5 ;) EDIT: if you wanted to make rocket versions (tempest) you could look at the rocket hog from the PC first halo - modellingly speaking, it looks more or less the same - just a question of building a barrel with some form of feed :) EDIT AGAIN: heres a better pic of the rocket turret thing: linky if you consider it :P @ swanky 40k - if you could pull that off it would be amazing :) i'd love to see something like that!

Grand Master Raziel Secundus Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 I've picked up a couple of these to add to my ravenwing.

Wolf89 Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 I really liked how these came along, I must admit at first I hated the whole idea, but it grew on me and you executed it perfectly.

Vassakov Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Pelican as a Valkyrie Firenze, not a Thunderhawk. You are not getting away with that. Looking excellent as ever Bob, but did I notice a Master in there? As in, Master of the Ravenwing? Because if so, we in the Fang will be having a quiet word with you on the subject of alligences... ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/134058-4x4-landspeeder/page/4/#findComment-1718885 Share on other sites More sharing options...

williamdelgray Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I like them more than the land-speeders, just feels more right. Just see them doing doughnuts in the mud after a victory. Should make a marker for them, being an open ice-chest. :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/134058-4x4-landspeeder/page/4/#findComment-1732179 Share on other sites More sharing options...
