Mantic Reveal First Miniatures For Halo: Flashpoint Game
March 4, 2024 by brennon
Mantic Games has revealed the first 32mm scale miniatures for their upcoming Halo skirmish game in partnership with 343 Industries! Are you starting to get slightly excited about the idea of Spartan Vs Spartan Sci-Fi deathmatches on the tabletop?
First Miniature Reveal // Halo: Flashpoint
When you dive into Halo: Flashpoint, you'll be taking on the role of Spartan fireteams clashing with each other in classic multiplayer style. All of the fun iconic weapons and equipment from the Halo universe seem to be there alongside some awesome armour designs based on the different cosmetic options in the video game.

Mantic Games also revealed that Halo: Flashpoint will feature pre-assembled plastic miniatures and pre-coloured easy-to-assemble terrain to get you going. This all makes a lot of sense to help video game fans cross over into the tabletop game without any hassle.

It will be fun to see how Halo: Flashpoint plays and Mantic has announced that we'll see more details on the game at the end of March. You won't have long to wait for Halo: Flashpoint, as it will be coming straight to retail in Autumn 2024.
Whilst the Spartan Vs Spartan nature of the game might put some folks off, this could just be the start. It makes sense to mirror the multiplayer portion of Halo first since it keeps the game compact and allows you to play out what I could see being fun, engaging skirmishes.
What intrigued me however was a little note Mantic left in the press release...
Once players have mastered their battle strategies, they’ll be prepared for the dangerous foes and fresh conflicts waiting just over the horizon…
It might be nothing but I am very intrigued to see where Mantic take this project. As we mentioned during our Weekender chat, it would be a great idea to start folding in the Covenant later on down the line and perhaps throw in The Flood as an AI-controlled enemy for you to face with your fireteams.
What do you make of the first preview?

After watching the trailer I went to the Youtube comments and Mantic are saying…their is more much more to show and when people are asking about the Covenant they are saying “watch this space” in there replies….
Look forward to seeing more. So far the models look good and Mantic can do good skirmish rules so are well positioned for this. Pre-assembled miniatures is the way to attack new gamers, adds costs though and with the IP this is not going to be cheap.
Spartan v Spartan is boring as crap, but once they introduce the Covenant they’ll have a decent chance of a good game. Minis look promising.
The pricing will of course be out of this world …
Mantic are usually very reasonable on pricing, even with licensed games, I cant see the pricing for this being “out of this world”
Yeah I would imagine this being in line with other stuff they’ve done rather than being astronomical
Hopefully no one from Microsoft looks closely and realises Mantic have been making Halo figures for years.
Great teaser from Mantic ONI clearly has the HQ on lockdown limiting information! The previewed minis certainly look the part and I can’t wait to see more.
I’m very interested in seeing what the gameplay is like, my initial thoughts had me leaning towards dead zone inspired but it could be something more unique to capture that Halo feel.
Reading some of the comments on the youtube video and social media posts is certainly “enlightening”.
I want to see how the miniatures move, so we can an idea of the sort of tables needed. Plus I agree @grantinvanman we need Covenant, I want to sticky some grunts.
