Mantic Games is bringing the fast, tactical skirmishes of Halo to the tabletop. Here’s the various editions you can pre-order now.
We got a first look at Halo: Flashpoint at GAMA this year and it was already looking promising. Now, we’ve got even more details on what exactly is in each box as well as news about the launch.

That’s right, Halo: Flashpoint is launching this Autumn/Fall 2024. If you pre-order by April 30th you’re set to get your launch copy. That said, you might be wondering “what’s in the launch copy?” That depends on what you’re ordering so let’s get into the different versions.

This is the larger of the two options and nets you a lot of …well, everything! This one has a launch price of £100.00.
Halo: Flashpoint – Recon Edition
Contents
- 8 x Spartan models
- Rulebook
- Play mat
- Pre-coloured card terrain and tokens
- 10 x Weapon cards
- 8 x Player/model cards
- 2 x Reference cards
- 12 x D8 dice
- 6 x Command dice
If you’re looking for just a dip in the Halo pool, the Recon edition will give you everything you need to play. It comes in at £60.00.
There’s also a very nice Terrain Set for £80.00, extra dice for £15.00, a paint set (that comes with a Master Chief model) for £35.00, and also a 1-player token set for £12.50.
Personally, I want the paint because not only do you get Master Chief, you a get brush, game cards for Master Chief, and 8 Army Painter Warpaints. Even if you don’t play having your own Master Chief and a way to paint him seems pretty neat!
Also, as a fan of Halo, I kinda feel like the Spartan Edition is the way to go. You get the 16 Spartans and 4 Banished Elites. I really want to throw down with those 4 Elites! Is it worth the £40.00 difference? There’s more in the box for sure and it feels like the more complete edition. But hey, you do you!
I’m sending a link to this game to all my old console cowboy friends. LAN party anyone!?
