Bungie concept artist Isaac Hannaford keeps posting more amazing concept art for Halo: Reach and Halo 3 on his blog. The latest update: Some early Noble Team concepts. Including some pretty… unique customizations.

Check out a couple more of our favorites below, and the rest over at Hannaford’s site.
