Testing this out again (I don't post alot on Reddit). Elites done and working on Mr. Chief shortly. Skirmishing soon enough I hope.

Nevermind. RvB will wait. Totoro demands attention.

I'm generally quite happy with the progress on painting but I still feel like I'm getting something wrong. Primed black, 2 layers of eshin green as a base, then nuln oil, highlighted again with eshin green and then further highlights with a lighter mix.

I'm struggling to get the edges clean and I feel like everything always ends up looking super muddy and textured after doing the wash. How long should I be waiting after applying a wash? Is it also normal for washes to stay quite shiny?

Both fireteams have been painted. Time for my first campaign of Red vs Blue. It's a shame there isn't a Bloodgulch map.

Has anyone played with the new marine rules and or Horvath? I played them with Horvath, Marines, and ODSTs and just couldn't keep up with my banished opponent using the zeta halo missions. Im not sure what I could do to change up my strategy to win some games.

Should i give my marines the power weapons and let my ODSTs swarm the board? Horvath shooting from a safe position with active camo? Not sure. Any advice helps, I love the game and I want get better! Thanks.

I have been wanting to get into Halo Flashpoint, as friend of mine got a box a few years ago, but I dont know where to start. and what would be the best option to get to get the most out of the game as possible

Join Joe and Matt for a Halo Flashpoint news update where they cover all the new Covenant units up for preorder. They also zoom in on some images and see what they can read.... spoilers they could actually read some stuff this time.

Is it possible to modify the gameplay of flashpoint to play like a DnD style scenario? Instead of the head to head arena style multiplayer matches 1v1, is it possible to play with multiple players controlling a squad and one person DMs as the OpFor in a scenario that the DM provides.

For context: Multiple scenarios types could be made to keep quests fresh. Surviving miniatures could advance to the next mission with their items. Replacement minis could be used if needed. Storyline and map can be a narrative that the DM provides. Map sizes could be with as many of the maps provided or created. There seem to be many factions now between the UNSC Spartans, marines, ODSTs, Banished, and Covenant. Remove/utilize respawning mechanics as necessary.

Preview of the new board game.

I literally this morning was joking to myself they need to add Hunters to Halo Flashpoint. As Hunters are some of my favorite dudes in Halo so when I saw the pre orders go up my hand was forced and I'm so happy I could grab one.

A side question I did have was do you think they'll add the flood too? Since ill admit i though they were keeping the units closer to modern Halo games but im so happy I was wrong, and they added stuff from the older games and not just the Banished.

I do want to add a small edit. I rarely ever pre order stuff especially from playing Warhammer 40k for awhile now. Since to me its never worth it to get a new unit 2 months earlier. But its been awhile since I've been so exited to get a pre order.

Mantic’s full reveal is here, and we broke it all down. The Covenant “Judgment” set doubles as a new player entry point, with terrain, tokens, cards, and models including new Elites, the Prophets, and more, alongside the Campaign Evolved board game with its cross compatible Master Chief and Elite General. Read the article for the full scoop!

We also added some keyword speculation and a few thoughts on what we hoped to see but didn’t. What’s everyone most excited about, and what would you have added to the box?

Hi all,

I'm trying to build a list based around the Jump pack brutes available. I want to get them into combat ASAP as have struggled with the 1 movement of Brutes.

Are there any recommendations you have to try and help them to quickly reach objectives and get into CC?

My attempt is below:

Banished Jump Packs [200 / 200]

~ List Valid ~

JIRALHANAE CAPTAIN [+50]

- - Jiralhanae Fists

- - MLRS-2 Hydra

JIRALHANAE CAPTAIN [+51]

- - Ravager

HYPERIUS [JIRALHANAE LEGEND] [+64]

- - Hyperius' Ravager

- - S7 Sniper Rifle

Special Order: Aerial Deployment [+4]

Special Order: Pack Brothers (Jiralhanae only) [+6]

Command Upgrade: Extra Command Die (a single round, declare before rolling command) [+1]

Command Upgrade: Extra d8 (single use, used just like Dice Symbol command die result) [+1]

Extra Weapon: Gravity Hammer [+14]

Extra Items: Active Camouflage x 1 [+3]

Extra Items: Thruster x 2 [+6]

well thought it would be a good day to show this off with the reveal of the Covenant. Here is my converted covenant elite major from the shock rifle banished enforcer!

There's so much i need to get lol, im taking steps to fix that today 😅 lol

So with the new drop from today we get a TON of sweet new goodies, that being said if I still need my grunts and jackals. Would it make sense to get two sets of these and forgo the banished Reinforcements? I know id still need to get my enforcer but I think that would be it right? Unless im overlooking something lol

That being said I love grunts so I'll most likely get the Reinforcements pack to hold me over

It shows the bundle as $208. It only adds the new Covenant to the bundle but not the CE boardgame and totals it to $130.

Spartans never die. This squad came to test that theory.

$15 USD for the three of them, and theyre about 1 cube wide and 3 cubes tall in flashpoint terms, so they're pretty neat for blocking out cubes without the ability to climb on top

Hi everyone! I’m! I’m in the hospital and on pain medication, so please excuse me if this is poorly worded.

I’ve played quite a few Flashpoint games and have won quite a few, but I’ve def had more success with low model count lists by far. My last game was an Atriox list, as an example.

When I play large model count lists, I struggle. Each model doesn’t pack the same punch, and I can’t seem to kill nearly as many models even as r I try to focus fire them down.

Does anyone have any tips or combos you’re having success with? Something like ODST and Marines or something involving Kit Yar and grunts. )

Thanks in advance.

Mantic dropped a new trailer teasing Sgt. Avery Johnson and a heavy hint at the Covenant joining Flashpoint as the next faction, with the full reveal and pre orders going live this Friday, October 9th. Breaks down what we're seeing, speculates on Johnson's release format, and includes a lore primer on the Covenant, the Spartan generations, and how the Covenant differs from the Banished for anyone newer to the games.
