Here's a remake of an old custom from last year I called 'Sangheili Honor Guard Captain'. There were a lot of things about that version that I didn't like, mainly the helmet and shoulder ornaments. Both have been addressed as well as every other part of the figure.
Starting with the head, it was reshaped to resemble the elites as they appeared in Halo 3. This was done by cutting the mandibles off and sculpting new ones. Additional sculpting was done for the rest of the face. I got rid of the old helmet completely and made the Halo 3 Assault variant which is much better and also removable.
The armor is modeled after the Halo 2 honor guard both in shape and color. The crests on the shoulders were made by making molds of those from the old articulation honor guards after a couple failed attempts at sculpting them freehand. Continuing the trend of molds, the thigh armor was made from casts of an old articulation elite field marshal. There are some slight modifications to the lower legs to add a bit more armor but they went mostly untouched. After all that came the paint and a gloss finish.
Also included is an in-progress shot and the original version of the figure as it was in 2020. This makes the third big custom in my Covenant 'bad guy' team.
