A new competitor for Warhammer 40k Halo Miniatures Game Announced by Mantic Games

I am VERY interested in this! I had no idea it was even a thing. Thankyou!

[@SpymasterGaming]

I think some coverage of it will be in order once it comes out!

[@TheCharlemang]

Youre the first person ive seen talk about this. Theres been some hand wringing over the fact they only mention Spartans, and that it will be like a tabletop version of the halo multiplayer. I for one certainly hope its UNSC vs covenant with grunts and marines shooting it out.

[@Jam-en8rv]

Having just read the post my first reaction to "Halo multiplayer battles" was eww.

[@SpymasterGaming]

@Jam-en8rv it depends if they mean gameplay is structured on it, rather than thematically I guess We'll have to wait and see!

[@SpymasterGaming]

I got in early on this one clearly! I'd imagine they'd give them more factions to work with as it would be very dull otherwise!

[@lordnovas]

I'm pretty hyped for Halo from Mantic.

[@angeredtsuzuki]

On Mantic's site they actually said the scale will be 40mm...which is weird. Probably a small model skirmish game

[@SpymasterGaming]

Yeah bit of a strange one....similar to marvel crisis protocol and star wars shatterpoint maybe? If it is small scale maybe that's what they've been inspired by ?

[@NexusWargaming]

@@SpymasterGamingthat’s what I understand the game will be similar to. I don’t quite get the 40mm scale. Sort of makes the models useless outside of the game. Knowing Mantic, I would not expect high quality models.

[@SpymasterGaming]

@NexusWargaming I think they are getting better as time has gone on and they'll have access to digital assets they can use hopefully!

[@CMTechnica]

Ground Assault didn’t really take off back in the day, unfortunately. Hopefully Mantic can do a proper Halo tabletop wargame. So much so do with the IP that isn’t books and video games. Editing: their wording makes it seem it’s supposed to be a skirmish style game like the multiplayer. That’s a pass from me.

[@SpymasterGaming]

That's a shame. I will try and review it when it comes out anyway
