Elite Superior
The armor of this high-ranking Sangheili (Elite) is a unique blend of functionality and contemporary fashion. Designed by an Elite armorer who would later create the human Helioskrill suit, some elements were inspired by pre-Covenant Kig-Yar (Jackal) gods to instill fear in the lower classes aboard the Covenant's capital city, High Charity.

I discovered the use of the scorpion as jaws while redesigning my Elite Zealot and Ultra, but the resulting helmet doesn't look like any from the games. This one is non-canon, and I suppose that Iron Man with his arc reactor must have been among those Jackal gods :P
Once again the luminous parts are glow-in-the-dark.
The Needler obviously does not appear in any games in those colors, but it was a ton of fun to get creative with carved shapes of metallic green and copper. Its needles are painted in swirled lavender, pink and purple, since I didn't want to go through the trouble of transparent needles again. I've actually made a similar Needler before, cobalt with weird gold shapes, but it is long traded away to I-don't-know-who. If you are the owner, I'd love to see a picture to remember what it looks like!
