It would give the guard something do, eh.
But seriously, would it even work? With the Spartans replaced with a squad of marines, and then shoved into the background, while the closest analogue for The Covent would probably be The Tau.
So how you go about translating the game to tabletop tg?

Here is the problem, Halo is very much about the Spartans, though if we would make a proper analogue, The only exceptions are - ODST who work closely to how the Storm Troopers fight, being a drop troop force, and they have their own game, and the Halo Wars part, which gets close to the Guard.
Enemy wise though, the Tau could work as that type of enemy, as they do have many coalitions inside.
I made my Storm troop army based on the ODST though, so I totally get where you are coming from.

Well I'm glad somebody does=D But thinking about it more, I think you're right about the ODST being the closest thing to Spartans.

I don't know Halo that much, but I guess, Sparatans would be some kind of karskin? Please correct, if I am wrong.
