The Atlas Rebels were formed some time after the Human-Covenant War. Now they wage war on an Atlas Moon against UNSC Forces. Delta Company, 1st Platoon's Recon Squad 159 is sent in to eliminate an outpost full of rebels. The mission, take out the outpost and give surpressive fire while the main attack unit moves in.

Okay, the Atlas Rebels is just something I thought of while looking through a list of UNSC Colonies. I just also wanted to make a snow vig (I know, not much snow, or white pieces) and the Atlas Moons were the only place I could think of.

Here, as you can see, a modified M12 LRV Warthog rams into the outpost wall, effectively smashing it to bits and killing some rebels.

Here is an inside shot of the smashing. As you can see, one person jumps over a small wall to escape the 'Hog. One person is crushed by the rubble though.

Here (Above, left) a rebel is sent flying by the smash. Here (Above, right) we see a small group of rebels fighting by a broken wall.

Some Shots of the Squad attacking. Captain Colonel Matthews is there driving the "Snow 'Hog" into the wall, while Lieutenant Ryan Yu (Sniper) and two other marines move in.

To the left is part of the squad. The one with the Sniper is Captain Ryan Yu and the spartan is Lieutenant Colonel Cody Matthews.
I was going to put in three ODST Troopers as well, but they weren't yet completed.

To the right, are the Atlas rebels, armed with unknown weapons, but possibly supplied by a major weapons supplier of Earth, BrickArms. The one with the silver Xeno is the leader.



And here is the vehicle wreaking havoc among many of the UNSC enemies, the M12 LRV Warthog. It is fitted with Snow Camo and treads instead of wheels. For many of you who have already seen my previous attempt at a warthog here on the forums, I think this is a vast improvement.

More on the worthog coming soon including more camo and accessories.

Nice! Tons of calamity! The variety in weaponry is great among the rebel minifigs. The Snow Hog is an interesting concept, though, doesn't the normal Warthog already make it over snow and ice quite easily already? Hmmm...maybe the Snow Hog was develeoped for the deeper snows of Atlas' moon... anyway, great vig! ^_^

Dub it like tovarisch would!

The Snow 'Hog was a concept from Bungie for some more Warthog Variants in Halo 2, but it was soon scraped. But they did bring it back in the Legendary Map Pack, although without the Gull-wing doors and the Treads.

Above is a link to a screenshot of the four concept 'Hogs by Bungie.

And the regular Warthog does make it over snow and ice, but with several consequences. I needs a lot of power to make it over withough clearing some snow and ice forst, thus using up a lot of fuel. But I'm just guessing.

I love the Wartohg, but the pictures are a bit blurry. So all of the Spartans are the UNSC, and the rebels are the people who aren't Spartans? Wasn't Ryan Yu your spy entry?

The Spartans were a program run by the UNSC to fight off the Covenant and help subdue the rebels. Try reading the book HALO: Ghosts of Onyx. It'll give you some info about the Spartan III Program and some more info on the storyline.

The Rebels are just a group of people who break off from the main UNSC Branch and declare war against it. An example is the United Rebel Front.

Ryan Yu was a character I had made for a fan fiction. Yes he was my Spy Minifig Contest Entry. I'll be posting more on him when I finish my platoon.

Nice job! I love the snow wharthog, the only thing you could improve on is making the pics a little less blurry. I have read all of the halo books including the new Sgt. Johnson one.
