Competitive Flashpoint – The RC Teams for Sheffield UKTC

As you may be aware, the UK Tournament scene has really started to take off, and the UKTC (a long running events organiser) have taken Halo: Flashpoint and are putting on events throughout the year.  Our Rules Committee members, whilst toiling away behind on the scenes on balance updates, new rules and units, love to also get involved and play.

Early in April, the very first points tournament will be happening in Sheffield - and since the RC members are going along, we wanted to give you an insight to our Fireteams and to give you the chance to play against us, and obviously try and beat us!

First up is myself!

I will be taking as a spare player:

• Concussion Rifle JFO
• Grenade Launcher Gungnir
• HAZOPs with Spiker rifle
• Deadeye with DMR
• Plasma Launcher
• 2 x Combat Knives
• 1 Single Use Command Dice
• Snap Shot Special Order
• 1 Single use D8
• 2 x Grappleshots
• 1 x Thruster

This team provides me with enough killing power to take out almost anything in one round, even pesky JFO/Gungnirs and a lot of speed.  I also happen to love the new Deadeye from Fireteam Phoenix and couldn't resist including it.  The star of my team however in all my testing has been the trusty HAZOP...

In my list for Sheffield’s Flashpoint event, I’m using:

• Concussion Rifle JFO
• Plasma Launcher Gungnir
• MKVII with MA40
• Grenade Launcher Gungnir
• 2 x Grappleshots
• 1 x Quantum Translocator
• 1 x Combat Knife
• Snap Shot
• 1 x Energy Sword
• A one-use extra D8 for my fireteam.

This is my preferred combination of Spartans as it gives me easy access to Tactician and Frag, two of my favourite abilities! This gives me a really well-rounded team that can play pretty much any mission, as it is mobile and extremely flexible.

My list for Sheffield will feature 2 sword elites, this list wants to get up close and personal quickly.

• Elite with Energy Sword
• Elite with Energy Sword
• Elite with Needler
• Elite with Needler
• Reinforcements Incoming
• 2 x Energy Daggers
• 1 x Grappleshot
• Single Command Die for a round

So once again I will be running Elites, even though the Spartans have access to fun new cool toys. I'm looking for a challenge and hoping to prove the Elites are still competitive.

Tickets are still available if you want to come along and play against us - UKTC Tickets
