r/Haloflashpoint

What do you want Mantic to release for this game system, i mean this in terms of rules changes updates, new models or factions, or even just new game modes as i know that's partially something i would look to in the distant future.

Getting a feel of the community and what they think of this game and want and like about it with this kind of post. i come primarily as a halo lover of the original bungie trilogy, and also both halo wars, even to an extent i don't mind infinite. But i have also in recent years took up modelling and painting primarily from the fact my dad and uncle used to do warhammer, so i eventually have picked it up too. Still new to it kind of and very bad in some aspects especially when it comes to the modelling part which i was kind of happy to see flashpoint didn't have much of it.

What i want going forward may be not what others want because i come from RTS games and also warhammer games. I'm a huge fan of the big battles of warhammer and RTS games when the armies collide and have small strategic actions to win leading me to hope for someday a bigger game format than the current 200 to 250 points, even if it is never the true focus. And other than that i would love more factions, i am a fan of the banished and their aesthetic but there is nothing as good to me as the aesthetic of the general covenant. I love banished hunters, look a bit scrappy and fitting for what they are, but there is just something so good and iconic about the smooth structures and armours of the covenant races. That and being who i am, zerg player, tyranid player, scrin player, the flood would be an amazing addition to me although i wouldn't even imagine the design difficulty of trying to implement it.

Aside from the actual game part, i want those old covenant style designed models if it could ever happen, a good elite ultra model for me would be so cool or even a councillor model. And the new reinforcements boxes answered something i wanted prior, really wanted to be killing grunts and jackals or even marines depending on what you are playing at the time, just adding a bit more depth and reality to these firefights.

So i'm just asking what kinds of things do you guys want to see from this game whether it is in the near future like hunters or small vehicles which i can imagine. Or in the distant future like larger vehicles and much larger battle or new factions. I would like to hear your opinions.

Thanks for listening to my TED talk i hope you all have a good day.

What models are you working on? Need feedback on your paint jobs? Need help with picking supplies? Seeking inspiration on terrain?

Hey Flashpoint community! This is Kyle at Mantic and I work with our game store partners and distributors.

The current September pre-orders are going to be landing in just a few more weeks, so I wanted to come here and urge that if you're ordering direct from Mantic or an FLGS, make sure you've got your order placed ASAP. There's a solid chance we'll sell out of some of the lines from launch before it arrives and we want to make sure the most fanatical of you don't have to wait for the second wave.

If you need help setting your favorite store up so they can order product directly or pick up Flashpoint products via distribution, feel free to reply here and I'll help you out, or direct your store to: https://www.manticgames.com/stockists

Thanks guys!

Hey everyone! I recently picked up the Recon Edition on clearance at my FLGS for $25 and I’m interested in expanding beyond it. What would be your recommended next purchase(s) with the 1.5 update about to come out?

1. Spartan Edition 1.5 preorder ($119) - redundant in a lot of ways to my Recon but includes the updated rules, 2x Fireteam Hydra ($45 each), Elite mercs ($45), extra terrain, hard play board, and the premium tokens.
2. ODST/Banished new player bundles ($152 each) - contains updated rules, different terrain, different hard play board, and new minis.
3. Something else?

Right now I’m leaning towards the Spartan Edition due to the cost savings on the extra spartan teams, elites, and hard play board. What are your thoughts? Thanks!

This is kind of a question, i played the halo games as a kid and especially had an affinity for halo 3 back in the split screen co op days, and also halo reach for its multiplayer. i am not the child i was back then enjoying games randomly but not understanding them, but i also had a big affinity for warhammer. This is largely due to my dad and uncle painting them when i was younger and me seeing them and still having some of those relics hanging around, but recently while waiting for a warhammer game to release i thought id play all the old halo games i missed so much, played all the major halo games including reach on heroic which was a challenge but a fun one. This brings me to my most favourite halo games from a child, Halo wars and Halo wars 2. So that is maybe why i am into warhammer building and painting my armies, my love for old school rts games and being a strategic commander.

Bringing my point for the post forward, i stumbled upon this halo flashpoint, still not really knowing what it is just now and saw that they are adding grunts and jackals soon which i am so happy about. i want to know kind of how old this game is, how often its getting updates and new models. When it comes to tabletop wargames im very much currently more a painter than a player, but i would still like to know how the gameplay is if many people are playing it.
