Elite Armor Permutations

When given a choice, I typically play as an Elite in multiplayer. Are you one of my Sangheili brethren? WORT WORT WORT!

Halo Reach (and Anniversary)

Elite Minor with Grunt. These are the guys you see most often in the campaign. This skin is the first to unlock in multiplayer.

Spec-Ops Elite. These are the stealth camo guys. A very popular skin in multiplayer because of its low profile. It unlocks when you hit the rank of Corporal.

Elite Ranger. This armor is interesting because, if you look closely, you can see the Elite's face through the visor. This is the type of armor worn by jetpack Elites. Unlocks in multiplayer at the Sergeant rank.

This skin is called "General" and is worn by the gold elites in the Halo Reach campaign. It's usually my skin of choice, hence my red version over there. Holding his plasma pistol. Because plasma pistols are the best gun in the game (not joking). You earn this armor at the rank of Major.

Halo 3

The default Elite armor in Halo 3 is called Combat. And despite being the default, it's the coolest looking, with lots of angles and spikes in Halo 3. It's also the only armor with the Elite's mouthparts visible.

Assault is the other type available by default. The helmet is low, sleek, and somewhat rounded. I've heard it's supposed to look like the outfits worn by the Heretic Elites in Halo 2, but the resemblance is only slight if you ask me. Also, the heretics did have their mouth-parts open... Yeah, I just like the mouth-parts, okay? They're part of the whole alien look.

Flight is the third type of armor, which (if I remember right) should be fully unlocked by the time you beat the whole campaign on Legendary. I've heard it's based on the flying jetpack Elites also encountered in Halo 2.

The Commando armor is probably the best one besides the default. It's sleek and intimidating. I sometimes go with the Commando helmet for its low profile.

The Ascetic armor is only unlocked by an array of multiplayer-based achievements. It's one of the cooler Elite helmets, entirely because of the blades on either side of the head. In this case I used silver Viking horns, attached via Brickarms monopod pieces. Instruction images follow.

EDIT: Here are some photos to explain how I made the head...

NOTE: A female 2 x 1 plate clicky joint piece will also support a hook piece like this one, if you don't have the exact piece I used.

The hooks here are Brickarms monopods, but they can be replaced with LEGO 'robot hands' if you prefer... but it may take some cutting.
