Started with Jorge. Gonna tackle Noble Team in the same order that they die in-game.
He was a good one to start with. A lot of fun to paint and probably one of my favourite Spartans to paint so far with this line.
Was pure luck i got this model at a recent Flashpoint event, its absolutely spot on!
Here’s a squad of yellow ODSTs on some urban ruin bases. The 4th pic has the paint guide listing each color I used in case you want to duplicate any parts of the scheme. Enjoy!
I’ve got Buck/Dare and some red ODSTs coming up soon, they’ll be on both Reddit and my IG:

In a few days I will receive my reckon box, I am already into the Warhammer hobby but every paint tutorial I see about Halo Flashpoint uses white primer, is this a must have or do a black primer do the job ?
Also, how do y'all do the shiny effects on the armors (elite or spartan) ?
When putting an ODST against the pod, placing their waist at the level of the seat, you can see that the ODST is larger than the chair inside. If the ODST were to sit inside, they have to have their head curled forward to be crammed into. The pods are definitely to small for the proper scale of the game. Bit bummed out, and now its one of those things where you can't unsee it. Im a bit surprised if I am being completely honest. These are tiny.
I've been a Halo fan forever and recently really dug into Flashpoint. I love how customizable the game is, especially for map layout. I've been disappointed though that I haven't been able to find any community resources for custom map layouts. It would be great if there was a resource where people could design and upload maps that use the official terrain so players could use them. Does such a thing exist?
Finished my third Elite. I'm working on a squad of 2 swords and 2 plasma rifles - so I'm halfway done now!
This week, we will be meeting up Thursday 5/21 at Dreamer's Vault in Roseville, MN in the US. This past week was such a great time. Our meet up this past Wednesday at Gamezenter was fun! Getting a few games in before our first tournament over the weekend, which was a complete success! A tournament update will come in a separate post, so until then, we look forward to meeting any new people that are interested in learning/playing Halo Flashpoint! See you Thursday!
A local halo player printed out a bunch of man cannons for our group. I told him I would paint them up. Here is the first set. The Forerunners. Just did a airbrush work up in the center to mimic the video game glow
So I painted a Spartan and wasnt satisfied and I attempted to strip it with acetone, which is what I used for my 40k and Cosmere RPG models with no issues, but the acetone began to eat the Spartan almost immediately.
Gonna repaint them as a plasma damaged unit but figured I would post here to warn others. Not sure what to use instead but I hear Simple Green is best, so idk.
Back to Halo after some other projects distracted me, here's my latest Flecktarn ODST.
Mantic just dropped some “new units” in the app. Also added to the “my collection” tab.
Spartan Gungnir with SPNKr rocket launcher, 47 pts
Spartan HazOp with Needle Rifle, 38 pts
ODST Special Purpise with Pulse Carbine, 22 pts
Sangheili Mercante with Concussion Rifle, 45 pts.
Now just have to finish the rest of the Banished!
Not the best photography, but I think this shade of blue fits the games I love perfectly. And fluorescent energy swords kick ass.
Does the Legends mechanic even mean anything anymore now that the point cost mechanic is the norm?
Between these and the Brute and ODST boxes, my games just got a ton of new options! I hope firefight comes soon too
