Spartan Games is to produce Halo tabletop miniatures games

Posted on by

If you love table top games and you love Halo (and you wouldn’t be here if you didn’t), then Spartan Games is bringing you a cool new Halo game to play.

I first learned of this from a post on Facebook by Laird MacLean. Thanks Laird!

The following is a reblog from Spartan Games web site (heh, Spartan, covenant coincidence, huh?):

Spartan Games has entered into a License Agreement with Microsoft Corporation to design and produce tabletop miniatures games for “Halo®”, the global entertainment phenomenon. The first products will be on sale around the world through Spartan Games’ sales and distribution channels in 2015.

The award winning “Halo” franchise was first seen on the Xbox in 2001, but has since transcended video games to build a worldwide fan base of millions and inspired best-selling novels, comic books, action figures, apparel and more. Now exciting tabletop miniatures games can be added to the list.

Neil Fawcett, Creative Director, Spartan Games said “Our design team are huge fans of ‘Halo’ and this opportunity is the icing on the cake for them. After six years of successfully creating our own games and models, we can now work with Microsoft to bring epic ‘Halo’ spaceship battles to gaming tables around the world. And if that’s not enough, we’re making fast and furious ground combat games as well. Hard to tell what is more exciting: invading Reach with our Covenant Fleet or assaulting ground defenses with Spartans and UNSC Marines?”UNSC-Presentation-Page1-1HFFL: Now, I did some follow up on these and need to say that these sets will be unpainted and unassembled. So be ready to put some time commitment into assembly and painting. Since these sets, so far as I know, are only coming from the UK, they will be moderately expensive for outside of them for shipping. Sets range in price from $40-60 U.S. Should this line succeed, we may see more sets from Spartan Games in the future.

  1. I’m still a little interested in these, mainly because I want replicas of Halo Ships for my collection. Right now though I am more interested in the ships coming from Dark Horse. I know there are lots of difference between the two series. Though it could be fun to have your own paint scheme on the ships.

    • Oh yeah, those Dark horse ones look great. I’ll have a blog post about those very shortly.

  2. Ooooo, I’m excited for these! I love the naval battles of halo, and being able to create my own would be awesome!

    • Yeah, I just wish they weren’t so darned expensive. The shipping from the UK is going to crush a lot of people too.
