Image 1 is what I am trying to recreate. Image 2 is what I have so far. I am working on CMYK colour mode so the filter gallery is not available to me. I thought it would be better to ask than mess around with half dots and thresholding and blending modes to not avail.
Thanks in advance

Make the elements requiring the halftone effect in a separate PSD using RGB Color Space. Then you can use the Filter Gallery. Convert and/or import the artwork into the main layout afterwards.

Any advice for nailing the halftone/threshold pattern?
I can tell the left image is thresholded because the whiter parts of the goose have less contrast but mine seems to be the err opposite?

You can try a Levels Adjustment on top...
You could also take that farther by converting those Layers to a Smart Object, applying a Camera Raw Filter. And then making Adjustments to the Light Settings and Curves...
If you're more concerned with getting some "exact" value of grey that you can define, you could always just drop a Gradient Map on top and explicitly choose those values on the gradient ramp.
Here is my example PSD. Take a look at it, modify it, use it, whatever you like.

wow very good. i'll follow along and see what I can do

not a question but the levels filter instead of the threshold is exactly what I was looking for. thanks for recommending it!

1) why did you use a layer mask as opposed to a clipping mask? for the sake of t...
1.) I just wanted to get rid of the background. That's all really.
2.) There isn't anything like that. The Stroke Effect has an interpolation algo that rounds off edges. If I needed that to be more angular with hard edges, I would just loosely trace it with a vector path.
3.) No problem. Glad it worked out for you.

@forest jetty you didn't happen to have black/white as foreground/background colours when you applied the halftone filter did you? i'm trying to replicate the effect and it seems I'm getting a different result? (left = mine, right = yours)
