Can’t wait to play some Flashpoint but hoping this evolves into something massive as well, to be able to play a tabletop game of Firefight with grunts running around everywhere or a small to large UNSC vs Covenant etc with to scale vehicles. If so can customisation be a focus, single piece models are fine for a board game but anything bigger you really need multipart sprues with armour options etc. That would be epic.
I'm glad to know more of the Banished are coming. It's a little sad to not see non-Spartan miniatures in the first few months of the game's life - Banished, UNSC troops, the Flood, Promethans/Created are just as big a part of the Halo experience as Spartans are, after all! I'm still very excited for the game and excited to see what you guys have in store for the latter part of 2025
As a massive halo fan this is an absolute must for me! I really want to collect the Covenant which means lots of elites! And November is my birth month which means this will be a very fun treat if I can get my Halo loving hands on this game
When are we going to get a box of nothing but SPARTAN II's? I would be so happy to be able to play nothing but SPARTAN II minis in various poses with various loadouts.
These look great again! Alresdy ordered as soon as it was mentioned they were available. Hoping to get some tournaments in with friends once we have our minis
I definitely can't wait to get my Spartan Edition this November! Quick question though! Does the early bird Master Chief promotional miniature also come with the game cards to use him in our games? I'd hate to have the miniature but not be able to use him in games since I'd be missing the rules!
Absolutely love the look of this and also really enjoying the recently released Worms game too! I was wondering if you could produce coloured rings for Halo similar to the Worms board game so I can paint the Spartan armour any colour I want and still distinguish between red and blue teams? Keep up the great work!
"Just getting started..." Oh boy my hype meter is going up! If this gets supported like a full dedicated game I might just lose my mind. I figured it would just be a reskin to get more people into Mantic's other games. Mega Bonus Points if the squad from Halo Reach is made into a playable team.
I'm really hoping Santa drops off the Spartan Edition for Christmas 😆. The UNSC scenery looks fantastic, and is a must buy. I wonder if a Banished/Covenant scenery set is in the works . 🙃. Do you plan to run a UK tournament yourselves at your HQ if there is enough uptake with the game ?
How large do you see this game getting? Whats the hope? What's the goal? Do not mistake these questions for scepticism, I've already preordered this game because I want this to be the next Halo platform that we start to see more and more players on! Local game shops, tournaments, events, lets get this thing huge!
We want this game to be huge! We have waves of releases already planned and into the future, and we think this could be something that due to accessibility and speed of play could really grow into a great tournament game as well as a more casual games night game. It doesn't take a lot of investment in money or time so can just as easily be your side game alongside something bigger scale or you can go deep and make this your go to tournament experience. We have so many plans we can't share just yet, but this isn't a game that's launch and forget - that's for certain!
Excited to get my Spartan edition in and start playing! The OP kits however seems very lackluster. I know OP is very expensive and not a money maker, but one set of tokens for one person is kinda lame. A cool alt art card or something for everyone else is more enticing to get people out and playing
The person running the event can share out the tokens however they like. There’s no reason they all need to go to the winner. You could share them around and then get a different pet of the set when you play in the next event. OP will change over time and this is just the first kit. There’s also the achievements tracker that we haven’t gone into in detail with you yet.
@@manticgames that's fair...I come from the "Asmodee" OP kit background, and am a sucker for shiny swag. It's been my primary motivation to play outside of game time with friends for years. Hopefully this game takes off and we can get some cool stuff, both for the game and for OP!
as much as i like halo multiplayer, i'd like to see this with more of a campaign spin in the future. i'd like to see fully rounded out unsc and covenant forces fighting over major lore battles. reach, harvest, arcadia, halo, new mambasa and more. Don't get me wrong, i like this idea, halo always was a smash multiplayer hit, especially with halo 3 custom games; i'd just like to see campaign stuff in the future because that's such a big draw. warthogs, mantises, wraiths, banshees, and ghosts would all be great units to paint and build.
The minis come in pre-coloured plastic (one team red and one team blue) so you wouldn't have to paint them if you didn't want to, however lots of hobbyists love to put there own personal touch to their Fireteams.
@@manticgames The starter packs were precolored and split evenly, but how will these new packs be dealt with? They only come with 4 different minis, so are they just going to be grey and you can paint them to match the red or blue you got in the starter?
As mentioned right at the start of the video it will be arriving in November. We've also posted some tracking information on the blog here - www.manticgames.com/news/halo-flashpoint-on-the-way/
That's where your option to add some hobby skills to the game by painting and basing your minis how you's like. A flat base gives folks the option to set their Spartans in any environment they'd like.
Might be a dissenting opinion but this just puts me off the game. The game hasn't even been released and you are telling me how much more content that I should buy because "this is one you wont want to miss out on". This has changed me from being very close to pre-ordering to a 'definitely wait'.
All miniatures games work on new releases coming out to give folks new things to use and enjoy. All we're doing here is giving folks the opportunity to pre-order them so we can make sure that everyone who wants them at launch can get them. Those that choose to wait will still get them but they may have to wait for restocks that's all.
@@manticgames Sure, but the game hasn't been released, no-one (aside from convention copies) has had the opportunity to even open their game let alone enjoy it and you are already advertising for 'must buy' future products. Even WotC has the foresight to get a MTG release into a customers hand at least for a day before previewing the next set they want them to purchase. I hope it works for you but it doesn't work for me.
For me this is disappointing as Halo the “game” and the TV series is soooooo much more than Capture The Flag Spartan v Spartan…. Without Covenant/Banished it’s underwhelming. Yes, the sculpts look fantastic but this direction makes me regret my pre-order.

Let's get everyone playing Halo: Flashpoint first!
Nah, keep it small.
You will have... i am sure 😊
Co-op hoard mode Vs the flood 😎
@mantic Imagine a box with vehicles etc. you could even call it “Big Team Battle!”
I want alien grunts and jackals!

There's a whole lot to cover in the Halo universe and we have a lot more to show you so I'm sure you'll be pleased when we're ready to reveal more.
to be fair, there is an elite squad in the full bundle for wave 1 but yeah i am looking forward to seeing those banished units later on
Love seeing the Mark v(b) armor from Halo reach being used. I'm a complete novice to table top games but even just painting these set sounds like fun
As a massive halo fan this is an absolute must for me! I really want to collect the Covenant which means lots of elites! And November is my birth month which means this will be a very fun treat if I can get my Halo loving hands on this game
I am also looking forward to Covenant!
Reach armor is hype AF, now we just need ODSTs
Exciting news and I appreciate the release of the terrain pack and neoprene mats too.
Looks like I know what I'm getting for my birthday.
When are we going to get a box of nothing but SPARTAN II's?
I would be so happy to be able to play nothing but SPARTAN II minis in various poses with various loadouts.
CQB helmet is my fav and I can't wait for those minis
We can't wait to see folks painting up their Spartans and getting games in. Lots more planned too so this is just the beginning!
Same! I was so stoked to see the CQB I forgot to look at the others.
These look great again! Alresdy ordered as soon as it was mentioned they were available. Hoping to get some tournaments in with friends once we have our minis
Not long to wait now!

He does come with the rules to use him in game.

Great idea. I’ll throw it to the studio team.
So excited for this! Cant wait for my order to arrive!

Where are my Brutes? Are they safe
We're quietly looking after all potential future releases ;)
Lord please give me the Flood
Mark V(b)??? YOOOOOOOO
Covenant armies, marines, ODSTs would be sick, kinda like Warhammer armies but more affordable and also Halo
We are going to be busy with these 😁
We can't wait to see them on your gaming table!
Cool, the brutes are my fav halo enemies so im waiting for them to drop before I get into it
Can’t wait!
I'm really hoping Santa drops off the Spartan Edition for Christmas 😆. The UNSC scenery looks fantastic, and is a must buy. I wonder if a Banished/Covenant scenery set is in the works . 🙃. Do you plan to run a UK tournament yourselves at your HQ if there is enough uptake with the game ?
We're expecting them to be with everyone in November so I think we'll have Santa covered too!
There’s already talks of a major UK tournament organiser running Halo at their events too - some as soon as January!

GUNGNIR with a pro-pipe? Literally me.
Are the two mats different from what's in the spartan edition?
They're the same design but made from neoprene rather than a board.
Can't wait for the griffin ball expansion. If the G hammer doesn't damage everybody in the square it ain't working right.
would be cool if fans could give fire team ideas like unique mixed sets for the future

Mark V? CQB Helmet? Can it be March already?
You know, I'm actually pretty curious to see if with a points book release if this can crossover with deadzone
Purge the xenos? Nah. Purge the demon and the parasite. For the banished!
To quote the Arbiter. If only it were so away.
Any know what the arrival date is for the 2nd printing of the first wave stuff?
Would love to see a squad of ODST troops
🥰🥰🥰🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 trop cool !!!!!! GW c'est fini pour moi !! hate de pouvoir jouer a halo en figurine 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Stop please
My wallet can't any more of this
Are neoprene mats the same dimensions as Deadzone mats? (they seem to already have the 8*8 grid)
Both Deadzone and Halo: Flashpoint play on the same 24” x 24” playing size.
I know this will sound stupid but can these come in pre-coloured or do I have to that my self?
The minis come in pre-coloured plastic (one team red and one team blue) so you wouldn't have to paint them if you didn't want to, however lots of hobbyists love to put there own personal touch to their Fireteams.

I would love to get my hands on my Spartan Bundle, Ordered in March 🙌
Sometime in November
As mentioned right at the start of the video it will be arriving in November. We've also posted some tracking information on the blog here - www.manticgames.com/news/halo-flashpoint-on-the-way/
@@manticgames oh goodness I don’t know how I missed that, my apologies.
Thank you for the reminder though 💙
Be nice if this does well enough that Mantic gets a crack at the Gears of War license.
YES!!
new style of bases would be nice bcs the bases are a little bit flat looking
That's where your option to add some hobby skills to the game by painting and basing your minis how you's like. A flat base gives folks the option to set their Spartans in any environment they'd like.
This will come to Amazon?
Yes it will. I believe it's already up for preorder from them.
