The Battle for Zeta Halo Is Here
It's done - all troops are now deployed to, or in transit to, Zeta Halo!
Over the past couple of weeks, thousands of Halo: Flashpoint orders have been racing out of Mantic HQ directly to tabletops around the world - thanks to everyone for your patience during what has been an enormous shipping operation of all these exciting new releases!
If your parcel has already arrived, which will be most of you by now, there's a good chance you're staring at a pile of glorious new miniatures, deciding what to paint up first...
UNSC Marines reporting for duty? Banished reinforcements ready to join the fight? Perhaps you're diving straight into the Halo: Flashpoint 1.5 rules update to see how the re-balance feels in the heat of battle? Or even playing your first ever game!
Either way, there's never been a better time to join the fight.
Not Seen Your Shipping Notification?
All pre-orders have now been dispatched, so if you don't receive a notification email this week (either from us and/or the courier), please contact [email protected] so we can investigate and get you sorted!
A couple of things to check first before contacting us if you haven't seen your shipping notification by the end of this week:
- Shipping notifications are sent to the email address associated with your Mantic webstore login, so please check that inbox if you maintain multiple email accounts.
- Please check whether your orders contains a release scheduled for November or December, as orders are always held until they can be shipped complete. (Note that since the pre-order period, some items have now sold out or gone to re-print - but this does not affect your pre-order as it was reserved in our system!)
Meanwhile, a Few Things Sold Faster Than Expected...
The worldwide response to the Zeta Halo miniatures and 1.5 ruleset release wave has been phenomenal, and several sets have already sold through their initial stock:
- The Unit Card Update Packs and Halo: Flashpoint Spartan Edition Starter Set (v1.5) have both sold out and are now available to order for the next reprint.
- Meanwhile, the Spartan Killers have also sold out, and will return alongside the rest of the Special Issue range in 2027.
If you can't wait for these to come back into stock, please check in with your Friendly Local Game Store or Amazon - their own stock of these sold-out items will either have arrived or be arriving soon!
Coming Soon...
We LOVE tabletop Halo, so it's always incredible to see day after day how many tabletop gamers around the world love it too.
Which is why what excites us the most isn't how many boxes we get to ship. It's what happens next, the thing that it's actually all about...hobby and gaming time!
So if you need a bit of community motivation to get that grey plastic battle-ready, then we've got just what you need. Mark your calendar for the:
Lots more information about this soon, but brace yourself for a fast, fun, worldwide event (including some very special guests) that will get your fireteams out of the hobby queue and onto the battlefield. It's going to be a blast!
But before then:
With the UNSC and Banished forces now well fleshed out on tabletop, the time is coming to expand Halo: Flashpoint's horizons once again with the next iconic faction, and it's been highly-requested since the very beginning....
"The message just repeats. Regret. Regret. Regret."
"Catchy. Any idea what it means?"
