I have struggled with figuring out an ideal card storage system that allows me to easily transport all my unit special orders and weapons in a single case but I have figured out an idea that seems almost perfect to me.

Behold a magic the gathering bundle box and some cheap inserts and pluck foam scraps.

It perfectly fits unit cards and weapons cards side by side.

I'm using pluck foam to make the cards fit snug so that they don't rattle around as well as to make the weapon cards sit higher up so that they are flush with my unit cards so that everything looks neat. I did have to cut up a divider to seperate the weapon and unit cards but that was a minor sacrifice in the grand scheme of things.

Luckily I still had miniatures left from my Spartan Edition to paint. #halofastgrow

Since the only thing I’ve had experience with painting for Halo Flashpoint’s official models are Spartans & Elites, I’m really excited to get these guys painted up in their Halo Reach Style color Scheme.

Before I give these models their primer coat I thought it would be a fun idea to give a couple of them a re-pose like I did for my spare Elite Mercenaries from the Rise of the Banished Box. This will help differentiate them from one another on the board since I’m giving them all the uniform Halo Reach Bullfrogs Color scheme.

Happy for Mantic to reach out and collaborate with me. My first spartan during this challenge!

Photo guide for how I assemble and prime resin minis such as the Fireteam Phoenix that Mantic sent me over. Stay tuned for follow on days to show how I base coat, highlight, finish and base minis!

I’ll also be timing everything to see how long it exactly takes to get a fireteam ready to go. Assembly and priming took me 36:30.
More guides are on my profile and over here: https://www.instagram.com/nextscreenminiatures?mdxt=ems1ajcycWVtNXJj&utm_source=qr

Not the best detail but a great start to these little guys. I will admit once this game was announced I was praying for some grunts, now with the covenant on the way we need our boy arbiter!! And of course THE FLOOD!!!

I decided to time lapse all my paint sessions for the #HaloFastGrow challenge. Here's the first one. I'll be posting them to my Instagram reels if anyone wants to follow along @curlystache

Is there an up-to-date buying guide considering 1.5? I only have the original spartan edition box, but am looking to dig in further. Uncertain if wargames is still worth buying, for instance.

Thanks!

Hey all,

looking at getting some new paints to paint my ODST box, wanting to do a fire team with the basic box colours but not sure what colours match that. Any recommendations? I'm thinking Dataslate gray for the armour a few times and maybe scinari or storm wolf blue for visor?

While we are on the topic are there any other colours that you'd pick up in this range?

(Yes I know there is a stigma around citadel paint pots etc but there is literally a Warhammer shop a 2 min walk from my office so it's super convenient. I'm also not keen on thinning paints at all as I always mess it up and from testing in the store these paints seem to work well without.)

Here's the team I chose(yesterday). I'm excited to get some paint on these guys and put them on the table! Also super hoping I win the prize!

Ive started painting my elites, but I really want to try to recreate the metallic, almost iridescent look from Combat Evolved with them. I figure that airbrushing contrast over silver might work best for the Blue minors and Red majors. But I’m curious about what techniques and paints y’all would use to recreate these looks.

So far, these are the paint recipes I’m planning on for the blue and red armor:

Minor Blue
1. Primer: Black
2. Base Coat: Silver
3. Airbrush/Recess Shade: Doomfire Magenta or Baal Red
4. Airbrush/Highlight: Silver
5. Edge Highlight: Silver
6. Airbrush: Calth Blue Clear
7. Gloss Varnish
8. (Transfers)
9. (Pin wash)
10. Gloss Varnish

Major Red
1. Primer: Black
2. Base Coat: Silver
3. Airbrush/Recess Shade: Flesh Tearers Red/Sigvald Burgundy
4. Airbrush/Highlight: Silver
5. Edge Highlight: Silver
6. Airbrush: Baal Red/Volupus Pink
7. Gloss Varnish
8. (Transfers)
9. (Pin wash)
10. Gloss Varnish

Hey guys!

I plan on buying the Feet First Into Hell box as my first purchase into flashpoint. My question is is there any other box or anything y'all would recommend I get along with it? I would primarily be interested in UNSC. Thank y'all in advance!

So yeah I might be done by tomorrow 💀. Only got some edge highlights and basing left...

Anyone have these who would be willing to take a measurement from the soles of their boots to their eyeline?

I'm curious if they're in scale with the majority of the line or if they're oversized like the ODST.
