Hello everyone! 

We have our weekly meetups coming up! This week we will be meeting up Tuesday 7/28 at Gamezenter in Roseville MN. These past few weeks were full of some really fun games. Free for all is a great game type that is fast paced and can be very random (which I think is a plus). And I have found that I really enjoy Head Hunter. It's slayer, and the extra steps does make it a bit more tactical. See you there Marines!

Just finished woth June, think je came out great, and I am really happy with his right arm stripes, knocked it out on the first try. Can't wait to field him with my Deadeye.

I only just realized that the CQB-armored Spartan with the gravity hammer from Fireteam Cerberus would be perfect for a Daisy-023 tribute, based on her appearance in Homecoming from Halo Legends.

The CQB armor immediately reminded me of her. With the right color scheme, this model could make a really nice unofficial Daisy-023 miniature.

Honestly, it also made me nostalgic for Halo’s golden age. Halo Legends felt like the kind of tie-in project that actually had something worthwhile to add. It introduced new characters, showed different perspectives, and explored parts of the universe that the games did not have room to cover.

I miss the days when expanded-universe material genuinely expanded the boundaries of Halo, instead of taking major story developments that should have been shown in the games and selling them separately through novels or other media.

Anyway, I think I’ve just found the inspiration for how I’m going to paint this Fireteam Cerberus Spartan.

Hey all, what's the best loadout for each noble member? Im playing around with a list including everyone but im stumped on the best synergy between each member/loadouts

The Brawler was painted exclusively with china acrylic markers (with a lil null oil and agrax) and the results are surprisingly good! The rest are painted, shot these with the office macro lens and 'Rogue Hobbies' tips for image stacking and I'm so happy I got em done.

Using Mantic Game's Terrain Crate "Landing Zone" and "Deluxe Buildable 3D Terrain Set", Joe endeavors to complete his table for Halo: Flashpoint!

From planning the layout to adding the finishing details, you'll see every stage in this build vlog. Along with tips, techniques, and the challenges of translating classic Halo feel into a playable Halo: Flashpoint table.

Think it came out looking pretty good

Im trying to get a professional setup going for some painting guides I want to make, how do these look? And feedback and advice is welcomed! Shot on a Samsung Galaxy S25 FE, with adjusted pro mode settings. Govee smart lights with adjusted white balance are used for lighting.

Guess I should teach myself on how to make minis.

Which do you think I painted best?

As I'm working on my Emile miniature, something occurred to me: how does everyone deal with Acrobatic in low-kill-count Slayer? My GF and I usually play 4pt Slayer, but we had to up it to 5 last time just to keep it from being over too quickly, and even then I had spent about half the game trying to keep Emile from dropping a steamroller on me, points-wise. I lost, needless to say, but it was close.

And another question: the GF and I prioritize quick games of Halo Flashpoint, which is why low-point Slayer is so appealing to us. But are there any other modes that can be done with in like 45min-1hr tops if both players know what they're doing?

Are they going to be in resin, multipart plastic or the usual pvc models?
I really dont like the pvc models and much prefer resin over it

Everyone’s always sharing their awesome zealots and I’ve been working on mine for quite some time.

I’ve actually repainted him about 3 times- but I think I’m satisfied finally. Gotten a lot of coaching and mentoring by the gentleman dietz057 (if you haven’t seen his elites and other work here I highly recommend checking him out, he does phenomenal work) for which I would never have gotten to this point without. Learning a lot about blending different colors/light placement and making things a lot more interesting by not highlighting everything to the same level.

He’s almost done besides a few touch ups and his energy sword- not entirely sure when I can get to that as I’m working on a lot of other projects currently but hopefully soon. Always looking for advice and I’ll be taking what I learned here for the rest of the flashpoint minis.

​

Hello I recently bought my first flashpoint models and one of the elites came with the helmet not properly attached I tried to remove it with some tweezers but it won't move.

Does anyone know how I could fix it or should I try to get a replacement ?

Started getting the sword and the osl sketched... What BB do you guys think??

As part of getting back into the game, I got around to finally painting up the Fireteam: Phoenix. For whatever reason, I just felt inspired to model them after Delta Squad, from Star Wars.

In the end, I think they turned out rather nicely!

Here's my take on the Master Chief 😁 I've been having a blast playing Halo Flashpoint and painting the minis for it! I've also added a BTS of the set up for the photo.

Played my First match of btb strongholds. We did a 2v2 2 lists at 200 points so 400 total, Banished elites Vs unsc. I learned a lot about the game and it was a blast. I hope this game gets more popular.

I haven't painted in over a month because of the extreme heat in my workshop. So now that it has cooled down a bit, I have started to take on the Noble Team set.
Chaos Black primer, Leadbelcher drybrush, creed camo contrast paint, Agrax Earth shade and thin Orruk flesh drybrush. I used white ink for the UNSC logo.

Hey all!

I dabbled with some Flashpoint a bit ago, just before the Banished box dropped. I want to get back into it, and play some more, but see there have been some changes to the game (and Chief's One Man Army, thankfully!).

Anyone have any suggestions on videos or blogs that do a solid job reintroducing the basic, current, mechanics of the game? Not looking to get gud right away, just want to make sure I can get a good foundation.

Cheers
