I'm sure you all remember Nannan's excellent Halo Warthog vignette he submitted in the BrickArms Halo Vignette contest. Did you also know that Xbox magazine featured it in a 2-page spread in the May 2008 issue? Wow! He even gave BrickArms a nice shout out, and featured the BrickArms BA-M5, and BA-M6 in the hands of the Master Chief and The Flood.  (Click the thumbnail for a full-sized shot with readable text)

I saw this one on Nannan's flickr page. A lot of Halo and LEGO fans now probably want the BA-M5 & 6.

Wow! That is amazing! I would never think Xbox would feature LEGO! Great work Nanann, and Will of course! :)

That's great! The coolest part is, just about anyone in the U.S. can pick this magazine up from Walmart or Seven-Eleven and see BrickArms in it!

How much publicity can Brickarms get? What'll Brickarms be featured in next?

"So obviously you won this contest you entered this project into." "Ummm . . . .not so much" "What?! What sort of brain-dead mutants were judging!?" "He calls himself badger" But seriously, this fantastic MOC deserves every bit of press it's gotten, and it will always have a very special place in BrickArms. badger

"He calls himself badger" Hah, if that were true, you'd get public disgrace and would have to wear a paper bag over your face. Just joking.

Thanks for the post Will, it was great opportunity that gave the lego community more publicity. I couldn't be more happy that I decided to enter the Halo contest here or none of this could've ever happened. I'm glad many enjoyed the article. -Nannan

Crazy he got into a magazine. I look up to him. I can't believe a lego vig could get in! IT IS POSSIBLE!
