Artist and Halo fan Skykillerr has uploaded a video showcasing Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 modded to let you play as a Sangheili “Elite” alien from the Halo franchise. At the time of writing, Skykillerr does not appear to have shared the mod widely for public use.
Skykillerr specifically ported in a white “Ultra” Elite from Halo: Reach, which makes for a nice pun with the “Ultramarine” branch of the Adeptus Astartes portrayed in the Space Marine series.
It’s pretty surprising how well the model works with protagonist Titus’ animations, but that Ultramarine armor was already so chunky and inhuman, some double-jointed legs and a big ‘ol headdress added in the mix aren’t exactly shaking things up.

Skykillerr opened the video with some audio of a pep talk from the Michael Jordan of Halo Elites: The Arbiter, formerly known as Thel ‘Vadamee, voiced by the GOAT, Keith David.
It then cuts to a nice, bloody montage of the Ultra Elitemarine messing up some Tyranids—kinda fitting, given they’re basically The Flood of 40K. Or maybe The Flood are the Tyranids of Halo, given the timeline of publication.
Unfortunately, Skykillerr did not include a download link with the video, nor have they published anything on their social media pages. A search of the Space Marine 2 Nexus similarly did not turn up any Halo Elite content. If you want to stay abreast of any updates or expansions to this project, you’ll want to follow Skykillerr on your social platform of choice.
Perhaps one day soon, we’ll finally be able to play Space Marine 2 as a far future religious fundamentalist super soldier, or a Halo Elite.
