I'm looking for a range of figures that look like the Halo marines. I want to do a diorama of a scene from Red vs Blue, but can't find any suitable models, and don't have the skill to sculpt my own.

Look up "Halo CS" on google, they have some sprites.

Well, I can't think of much in the way of minis (If that's what you mean), but they DO sell Halo action figures, which could work fairly well, I would think...

Yes, I did mean minis. I don't think the action figures would work, as I want to convert and paint them. I haven't decided specifically what to do yet, but I think I might do the scene where Church checks if Tex is out of ammo.

Do you mean Spartans or marines? Red vs Blue doens't have any regular marines in it....

all in all i think find marines would be easier to find than multi-colored spartans needed for a RvB scene... (any number of war games have ones like it)... if you're going for the spartans (and i think you probably are) Warhammer 40k is my first hunch of a possible place to find something close..look for through space marines or even the Tau....


and if you're looking for good scenes i would vote for when the blues surrender.....and Grif announces that he sucks....and that he's a girl....and he likes to wear ribbons in his hair....and he wants to kiss all the boys.....

The old school WH40K Imperial Guard Storm Troopers might serve well:

Any of the helmeted ones should do, or would convert easily.

Here you go (http://nikon.bungie.org/misc/dalteth_wh40k/)

Couldn't find any official ones. Looks like you'll have to do it yourself with minis and putty.

Good luck!

[edit]As DeathQuaker suggested, looks like he used the IG figures and some heavy sculpting.

Someone made lego Master Chief figures somewhere...

Yeah, can't help you much, sorry. The lego guys would be hilarious, though.

Alas, I have the sculpting tools of a crippled monkey. I think I'll make do with some Karksin with weapon swaps, or maybe VASA marines form Urban Mammoth.
