Greetings , my fellow MSFCers
Tholian_Storm here , your man in the know!
I'm quite aware that we have quite a few HALO fans on here.. ::waits for the applause and cheers to die down:: ...so I thought I would bring you all some HALO news courtesy of one of the Battletech Networks ( yes , we do talk about other things there...) I belong to.
I've already seen the following units:
MASTER CHIEF
TARTARUS
ODST TROOPER
ARBITER
HUNTER
BATTLE DAMAGED SCARAB (ComicCon Exclusive)
And they look great. But just because of the swell guy I am , I'm giving you all a sneak peak look at the Damaged Scarab , but don't tell WizKids
This thing is quite possibly the most absolutely ginormous thing I've ever seen , and I've got the Ral Partha Leopard CV-class DropShip for Classic Battletech!
This has been Tholian_Storm , your eye in the sky , reporting.
Honor and Xin Sheng to you all!

WIZKIDS ANNOUNCES HALO ACTIONCLIX COLLECTABLE MINIATURES GAME
WizKids Inc. announced an agreement with Bungie Studios and Microsoft to develop Halo™ ActionClix®, a collectable miniatures game (CMG). The Halo ActionClix CMG brings the Halo universe to the tabletop via the Clix miniatures game engine.
"Expanding the Halo universe into the Clix CMG is a perfect fit," said Brian Jarrard, director of Franchise and Community Affairs at Bungie Studios. "WizKids' commitment to authentic detail ensures that Halo ActionClix will appeal to collectors and CMG players alike."
Halo ActionClix will feature more than 80 miniatures from the Halo universe, including preview content from Halo 3. Vehicle Packs will be produced, including a surprise for San Diego Comic-Con.
"We are proud to be associated with the Halo brand," said Lax Chandra, WizKids® president. "The phenomenal Halo universe provided a springboard for innovation in tabletop miniatures gaming."
The Halo ActionClix CMG, expected to be released in September 2007, will prerelease figures at San Diego Comic-Con July 26 – 29, and Gen Con Indy August 16 – 19.
WIZKIDS UNVEILS EXCLUSIVE HALO 3 SCARAB AT SAN DIEGO 2007 COMIC-CON
Bellevue, WA (July 25, 2007) WizKids, Inc. today released its collector’s edition battle-damaged Halo 3 Scarab figure at Comic-Con (booth #2743 at the San Diego Convention Center). The figure, which is the largest miniature (24†x 24†x 20â€) WizKids has ever produced, was displayed as part of the public debut of the Halo® ActionClixâ„¢ Collectable Miniatures Game. One lucky winner walked away with the figure, which is priced at $250. Other show attendees have been submitting their names for the opportunity to buy one of 500 show-exclusive battle-damaged Scarabs. This never-before-seen battle-damaged Scarab featured in Halo 3, is a towering Covenant tank, upheld on four long mechanical legs. It is the largest ground vehicle in the Halo universe, and its armor is highly resistant to human and Covenant weapons alike. Recent UNSC intelligence reports indicate the best way to take the Scarab down is to climb aboard and tear it apart from the inside.
The Halo ActionClix game brings the incredible content of the Halo universe to players’ tabletops via the award-winning Clix miniatures game engine. Players are able to replicate the exciting multiplayer action from all three Halo games using high-quality pre-painted, plastic miniatures of Halo characters and vehicles. Players field teams in battles of Halo’s USNC, Covenant or mixed teams, and are able to jump right into the action and enjoy Halo game mechanics, including weapon swaps, figure re-spawning and vehicle-based combat. Each game piece has a unique combat dial that lists their constantly evolving stats, and a character card that list specific abilities of that piece. Using different “move and shoot†capabilities, as well as blocking terrain (walls and debris), players move their pieces – vying for the best shot to take down their opponent’s pieces.
Launching in September, Halo ActionClix Series One will have more than 80 pieces, including Hunter Combat Pack, Warthog Pack and Banshee Pack. Packs include exclusive Halo 3 preview content. The series also features two main booster pack varieties – a $10 pack (4 game figures, 4 stat cards, 2 die, rules and map) and an $11 pack ( 5-figure blind pack with 5 figures, 5 stat cards, rules and map).
