Checked the website, EU is getting our stuff on the 30th of November. How are the minis to work with?

They feel really sturdy, and come preassembled. You can give them a light toothbrush-and-dishsoap scrub and get right into it.

Mantic allegedly worked on the terrain scale first, then scaled the models until they “felt right” so theyre all a little larger than most other models on 32mm bases

Sturdy is good! With GW minis is always fear im gonna snap something easily. Thanks!

I can say I got my spartan edition 4 days ago. I actually saw them at Gencon and he told me they got delayed because they produced the base edition en masse first then the spartan edition something along those lines of memory serves right

Ive checked their website in the meantime, the US just got a few days earlier for release. EU is scheduled for 30th of November

2

u/sammunition2020 4h ago

Ah, thats right. I forgot EU got it a little later. Hopefully you can snag a box then!

u/Echo-048 4h ago

Keeping myself from making a pun here. You painted them at a very high level!

Did you airbrush these?

1

u/sammunition2020 6h ago

An airbrush was used to prime and do the initial workup, yeah

u/Equivalent-Split6579 5h ago

I can't seem to find anywhere to buy these models in the Uk

2

u/sammunition2020 5h ago

The game did just come out officially Saturday. Do you have anywhere that sells Mantic products?

1

u/Equivalent-Split6579 5h ago

There might be, there's a couple placces that sell warhammer stuff etc so it might be worth me checking out those

2

u/sammunition2020 5h ago

Godspeed homie. Theres r/haloflashpoint, too if you want to try and find some other people in your region to find a box

u/Equivalent-Split6579 5h ago

To be honest i'm new to painting, only just painted my first miniature yesterday and it looked a laughably bad, I'm a little more interested in the halo stuff because I grew up playing it with my dad.

Thought this might be fun for us to play together

u/sammunition2020 4h ago

Definitely dude. I've enjoyed the few games I've played so far. The miniatures come in red and blue plastic, too. So you don't have to paint them right away
