Halo: Flashpoint’s Growing Community
23rd Dec 2024
Dan Mapleston
So you've got your Starter Set in hand, you've built your terrain, and maybe even got some fireteams painted. Well done!
The stage is set, and you know what's next: it's time to join the brilliant community that's started up. There's so many ways to get involved, so let's check out just a little of what's already going on...
Get Gaming Locally
Halo: Flashpoint is getting great reviews for its fast-paced gameplay, and once you get started with your friends you'll soon be out of the rulebook and into the War Games arena!
Check in with your friendly local gaming store for play opportunities, with gaming nights and events springing up all over the place!
If there's nothing going on near you (yet), just ask your local store/club - that's often all it takes to get the ball rolling.
Connect on Social Media
As well as the latest news from our official social media pages, Halo Flashpoint Fanatics is a new, fast-growing Facebook community group that you can find HERE.
It's the perfect place to tell everyone about your coolest Flashpoint gaming moments, and share photos of your arena builds and fireteams with the friendly community. We've seen some absolutely amazing paint schemes turning up, so dive in for some real hobby inspiration.
Dive into Organised Play
Remember getting really competitive playing Halo with your gaming buddies?
Well, now that classic experience is on tabletop - it's time for our first Organised Play Kit. Releasing in January, you'll be earning achievements, fighting tense battles, and vying for a brand new set of acrylic tokens to upgrade your game experience!
It includes everything needed to organise a great 8-player event at your local store/gaming club, and you can order one right HERE.
Meet the Team at Events
Mantic will be bringing Halo: Flashpoint to our major shows and conventions in 2025 (AdeptiCon, Salute, UK Games Expo, Gen Con and more), so come and see us!
We've already had the pleasure of meeting lots of other huge Halo fans - including fine people like the 405th Infantry Division: the Halo Costume and Prop Maker Community.
We were pleased to donate some Halo: Flashpoint gaming goodness to a raffle as part of their 2024 Halo charity event. A big shout out to the 405th on this one, which went on to successfully raise an astonishing $10,055(!) for the Children's charity 'Extra Life'.
Our team look forward to meeting even more of you in 2025!
The First BIG Halo: Flashpoint Tournament
Finally, let's organise something big to bring people together...
We've partnered up with the wargaming UK Tournament Circuit to bring you two great events (each with capacity for up to 100 players) on the 11th and 12th January 2025 right here in Nottingham, UK. Even better, we've covered your entry fee - yes, really!
All you'll need is to snag one of the available places with a refundable £1 deposit, paint up four minis from the starter set (probably the easiest tournament prep ever), and then join us for a glorious and friendly weekend of Halo: Flashpoint fun!
Find full details, and book your place, HERE.
The Best Time To Start is Today
These early days of a game are super-exciting to come on board and experience the journey, so if you've been waiting to dive in then now really is a great time. Just head on over the Halo: Flashpoint webstore to pick up a stunning starter set or very tempting pre-order bundle!
With so many ways to get involved, we can't wait to see and hear your stories. So...who's up for a game of Oddball?
