Spartan Editions & Sangheili Surprises

Hi everybody! Dan here, with a mid-week update on all things Halo: Flashpoint.

After a quick recap for anyone new (welcome!), there's a heads-up on incoming restocks for some popular sets, and we'll round off with something brand new...

A Monumental First Year

Launched straight to retail at the tail end of 2024, Halo: Flashpoint is the tactical miniatures game where you'll command fireteams of Spartans, ODSTs, Brutes, Elites and special characters from across the Halo Universe in intense skirmish combat.

And yup, it's every bit as cool as that sounds.

At now just over a year old, it’s already been an exciting ride with lots of new units and scenarios dropping into the game. Powered by a 'fun-first' ruleset and glowing critic reviews, Halo: Flashpoint took off around the world, and has quickly amassed a welcoming and passionate global community.

Among all the press coverage, the team at Wargamer.com ran a feature investigating how Halo: Flashpoint managed to become North America’s #4 tabletop miniatures range, less than a year after its launch. You can read their full breakdown HERE, but the in-a-nutshell version is that this is a game you can (and should!) dive into with the confidence you're going to have a REALLY good time.

Right, enough trumpet-blowing...let's roll the news. *Click* *Whirrrrrrrrr*

The Spartan Edition Starter Set Returns

"Supply convoy moving into view...now."

"What have we got, Trooper?"

"Haven't seen these in a while, sir. Spartan Editions. Not sure how long they'll stay on sensors."

"Affirmative. All units, prepare to secure that delivery. Don't waste the opportunity. Out."

At last, this huge and very popular starter set is back in stock, bursting with Red vs. Blue Spartan fireteams, a Banished Elite lance, a fully pre-colored combat zone on a deluxe folding game board, 3D arena accessories...and more!

If you've been waiting for the right time to jump into Halo: Flashpoint, trust us that this is the box you want! These sets have a habit of selling out very quickly (with a considerable wait between reprints), so if you want to secure a copy we do recommend moving fast.

There's still plenty of time to go this year, and everything to play for - including for newcomers ready to compete for glory.
