About the game

What you do in a play session

Halo: Flashpoint – War Games Expansion Pack is the latest addition for fans of the Halo miniature game. Released in 2025, the set introduces four new Spartans equipped with the sturdy Mark V [B] armor and a range of new weapons, including the powerful Concussion Rifle. Each miniature‑weapon combination is assigned a point value, letting players craft custom fireteams that go far beyond the base game’s team‑drafting mechanic. The package includes high‑quality miniatures, combat dice, a 10 × 10 square grid, and line‑of‑sight tokens, all designed to keep playtime between 30 and 90 minutes. Players move on a grid, calculating distances precisely, and must account for line of sight when attacking or using abilities, adding a layer of tactical strategy. The expansion doesn’t add complex rules; instead, it expands the arsenal and team‑building options while keeping the learning curve gentle. If you already own the base game, the pack serves as a robust complement, providing more content and depth for Halo miniature battles.
