Canon Fodder: Rhine Installation
The following is a reblog from Halo Waypoint:
BY GRIMBROTHER ONE – ISSUE 36
Wie geht’s, Halo fans? By now, most of you know that the ever-epic gamescom convention is well underway in beautiful Köln, Germany, where hundreds of thousands of game fans are converging to check out their favorite titles and franchises. With no hint of bias at all, we’d certainly like to think that at least a handful or twelve made the trip to Deutschland with hopes of getting their eyes and hands on some new Halo goodness. While much of the Halo happenings at the show have centered around our competitive multiplayer experience, the fiction-focused certainly have plenty to chew on as well, so let’s begin!

3rd Annual HFFL Halo LAN Recap
Well, this year’s LAN has come and gone. Games were played, prizes awarded, eats were had and everyone walked away with a few goodies as well.
No to be more specific…
This was the first batch of prizes that were sent this year. As you can see they come courtesy of Sprukits, which is a division of Bandai. I’ve reviewed these sets on the blog, so check them out.

A HUGE thanks to those folks! They were generous with their prizes and I want to thank them properly!!!
While I was preparing for the LAN, my bud Zach (@TheHaloArray) was in New York city and snapped this pic of Halo 5 Guardians prominently on display at Toys R Us in Times Square. Looking GREAT!

Halo Fan Art: Spartan Olympia Vale!
I found this perusing the net over the weekend. The artist is Christian Blanche (@Chris_Blanche).
This is a very well done rendering, IMO. I’d like to see more Spartans from this artist, They tweeted at me that there is a Spartan Fred incoming!

HUNTtheTRUTH season 2 starts recording!
Frank O’Conner let us know a few days ago that this past Saturday, the second season of HUNTtheTRUTH began recording!
This is exciting news. Well, to me it is anyway. I really enjoyed the first season. Season 2 will feature Cobie Smolders (Avengers: SHIELD Agent Hill, How I Met Your Mother) as the lead character, Petra Janecek. This is a role she reprises from season one of HtT.
Season 2 runs all the way up to the release of Halo 5 Guardian!
Halo Wars 2: Brute leader bust
By now you’ve seen the Brute leader from the Halo Wars 2 trailer. I posted this earlier this month.
What you may not have seen is a sculpted bust of the Brute leader. So let’s take a look, shall we?
He’s an ugly mug, isn’t he? Not the sculpt, the actual character. I like that he’s got a kind of Scottish/Viking feel to him. This may be an insight into his character.
Update on Halo Monopoly
As I posted earlier this month, there will be a Halo Monopoly game.At that time, I only had a graphic of the box. Now there are a few more images to share.
Now we see the board and the pieces.
Here’s a close up of the pieces. Which would you use? I’m partial to Chief’s helmet and the Warthog. BTW, the third one from left (between the energy sword and Chief’s helmet) is the Arbiter’s new helmet.
And finally a close up of the board itself.
I am definitely getting this. Even if just to have as a collectible. However, I foresee this being part of the HFFL Halo LAN next year!!!
I don’t yet have the price nor availability. When I do, I’ll either update this article or post it later if the information is far removed from the date of this posting.
If you have that info, with a link to it, please let me know. reply or e-mail me. slashalofanforlife.com

Who or what is the Promethean on the right???
Forgive me that I can’t recall where this graphic came from. IIRC, it may be from Waypoint itself. Regardless, the question here is, who or what is the dark Promethean on the right of this image? It looks like another Soldier type, but more deadly.
If any of you have verifiable evidence (including a link) to this, please share. Either reply below or e-mail me at sal@halofanforlife.com.
Halo 5 UI screens????
The following were posted on NeoGaf. A friend of mine alerted me to these screenshots of what may be part of the User Interface (UI) of Halo 5 Guardians.
I make no claim that these are real, so take these with a grain of salt. I will say this, they don’t look bad and if they turn out to be the real deal, I’d be happy about it.
I definitely like the use of the Infinity. Though note that it’s being used here for multiplayer. I’m curious to see if the Infinity will play any key role in the campaign.
