Halo comes to the tabletop

Pretty exciting. It may turn out to be (please do not swear), but I'm told Spartan Games are competent developers and I do love the franchise. I imagine Gman will have a thing or two to say about this. Quiate frankly I don't know if I'll buy into it, but that's only because Dropfleet is coming out as well.

You imagined correctly stingray!
This seems promising! Can't wait to see the whole model range. Might be the next best thing to Halo: Wars 2.

I just hope Spartan is ready for this. This is the kind of release that will do them a lot of good in a huge burst in sales. I just hope they are ready for the huge influx of orders its likely to generate. That and the potential fast fall-off it could happen (like Lord of the rings did for GW).

Meh I dont see this selling well....While Halo was a good game I dont really consider it a great IP for a wargame with just two factions

I'm inclined to agree. If you're into wargames, chances are you're into video games. Great. Though I don't think the reverse is true as often. Having video gamers make the jump into wargames because of this seems... Dubious. But I might pick up a few kits, if the price is right and the rules intriguing.

Spartan Games tends to have good prices - if they are poor on the Halo items then I'd bet its because of licence costs but I'd doubt that. Also if they market it well outside of the mini-wargaming niche-community then it could do well short term like Lord of the Rings did for Games Workshop
