A passionateHalofan recently showed off his impressive 3D printed rendition of Jerome’s Mark IV helmet fromHalo Wars. While the Master Chief is undoubtedly the face of theHalofranchise, the UNSC is filled with warriors who proudly wear the Spartan armor into battle against the Covenant and Banished. One such hero is Jerome-092, the leader of the Spartan 2 Red Team division and a main character of 2009’sHalo Warsand its 2016 sequel.
Fans were introduced to Jerome and the rest of Red Team in the originalHalo Wars, where they partnered with the crew of the UNSC warshipSpirit of Firein a battle to stop the Covenant from getting access to an ancient space fleet about two decades before theevents of the originalHalo: Combat Evolved. Jerome returned in 2016’sHalo Wars 2to help battle a dangerous new enemy: the Banished, who would later serve as the primary enemy group for Master Chief and his allies inHalo Infinite.

He printed the helmet from a file by Esty user Titlewave Designs using a Neptune 3 Max 3D printer and painted it for one of hisHaloFireteam partners.
