jesselowe Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 I can't believe nobody's posted this yet. Spartan Games to produce HALO space, ground wargames. Aside from that press release, there's an interview on Meeples and Miniatures with the head of Spartan Games where he talks about it a bit (as well as their new kickstarter).

deadwing34 Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 I was surprised that they got such a big license, I heard about it through the D6 generation. I am a bit worried because it will only have 2 factions though. I might pick it up to play with my son. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.MoreTanks Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 It will have room to grow, the Halo universe is ripe with lore. For the ground combat game you can have options to run different kinds of armies for both the Covenant and UNSC in all likelihood. I know I'll be rocking ODST backed up by a couple Spartan II's. I love Firestorm Armada, so I'm ready to pick this game up for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theredepic Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 I am a little surprised as well. Figured Fantasy Flight or some such would be given it considering their success with the Star Wars License. If this Halo Game is handled as just different ships using the firestorm rules, and with only a few factions, it makes some sense to license a relatively small project out to Spartan since the rules are established and need no development, and they have the infrastructure to manufacture, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Hopefully they are allowed to make the rules compatible with FSA. If they are, then its a big win for Spartan. If they have to come up with different rules, then maybe not so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spagunk Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Not a huge Halo fan but the ships look pretty cool. For the skermish game, I'd only pick up a few marines so I can make a RvB diorama. Just sayin'. "That's not a target. That's church!"
