I got my copy about a week ago and I’ve had a couple of fun games already. Makes me want to get Deadzone to the table more often too. Mantic generally delivers the goods!
All 4 elites are separate load outs. Factions aren’t supposed to be mixed between Spartans and elites. The “hatches” are actually for the item drops. And the larger ones are for weapon spawns.
Just got my Spartan edition in. I should gift my recon to my nephews and brother for Xmas. Great value and quick to setup and play. Minimal assembly and what assembly there is simple. Love the deadzone rules adaptation. For sure they captured the essence if the video game.
I'll be picking it up once my flgs gets their orders in. I was bummed I missed out on the Fleet wars and ground assault games, so I'm definitely not missing out on halo minis this time!
@5:00 only the Master Chief counts as 2 models not the Elites and no mixing of the factions is possible elites stay with elites and spartans stay with spartans ...... the best part of the spartan edition besides more stuff is you can play with more then the basic fireteam if you and your opponent agree like a 6 vs 6 or even 8 vs 8

Hey Ash, I recently requested Horizon Wars: Midnight Dark. I just recently found out that the fleshed-out licensed version of the ruleset, HardWar from Strato Minis, just got bought up and a new revised edition will be releasing sometime soon from Modiphius Entertainment. That might be a better option to cover when that drops. Who knows when.
Dunno, feels like we don't get that much for the price as game material / content. I think it's something too limited to play that a lot in comparison to, say, GW's current Kill Team. And I absolutely don't trust Mantic Games with license games. Their previous ones are, well...dead.
Should’ve at least come with parts for customization. Some helmets long time halo fans actually recognize would’ve been nice. Instead everyone is just gonna have the same 4 units until the next wave releases
@@APremiumDegenerate yea I’m looking forward to some extra helmets. An ODST helmet on the deadeye will be essentially my Reach armour. Not sure I heard it right but apparently wargame rules in March will have customisation for the various classes. It’s all coming I’m sure.
Got it for my son for xmas morning. Finally, I'll finally beat that little bastard at Halo! Vengence will be mine!

Great game...love your new (ish) before and afters too well done bud!
i love how chilled out of a skirmish game this is while still having an awesome theme and game loop. Definitely picking this up!
80 bucks for a tabletop game in the year of our Lord 2024 isn't bad!
This is great! Love this game and cant wait to see more of Halo: Flashpoint!
Good to see you give it a go.
Ah this brings me back. Sitting on the couch with a buddy, drinking beers, and playing Halo co-op. Good times.
Good video, just bought it for myself as a Christmas present
15 mins in and I've bought this game. Merry xmas

This games been great. Minis painted up nice. Already ordered Wave 2 for march.
Love this game. Lots of room for expansions, and yet it's not a game that requires lots of expansions. It could stand on its own just fine.
Absolutely LOVE this game
played this for the first time this weekend, plays fast and is fun. Interested to see what they add to the game going forward.

Theres 4 gametypes in the box that all feel fresh and different its very good value for that alone.

Well, the Walking Dead became Undead again.

It’s all coming I’m sure.
This is a starting game. Much more coming down the line. And all licences products have an end point.
