New Previews for Tabletop Halo

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HK7fCmuon1c/VPHgqQBLLQI/AAAAAAAAwjo/F7AoLA9MTdA/s1600/Waypoint_Newsletter_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HK7fCmuon1c/VPHgqQBLLQI/AAAAAAAAwjo/F7AoLA9MTdA/s1600/Waypoint_Newsletter_1.jpg" height="270" width="400"></a></div> <br> With the news from Spartan Games some time ago that they will be doing Halo on the tabletop, there are some new previews of the game to see. Their space based game is set to come out later this year. While making the move from video game to tabletop is not a huge jump, (after all most of us do both), getting video (only) gamers to cross over seems like  a difficult task. It will be interesting to see how this project goes, and if it increases the player base for tabletop wargames.<br>

This means its the perfect time to jump in and check them out.The models themselves are done in 28mm heroic/bulky scale and are in plastic and resin. I have been digging through this kickstarter for the last hour or so, and I think is one that you should check out.<br> <br> Here are some images from the kickstarter, and a video introduction.<br>

I had some time with Hawk Wargames, and have some great details on what is coming in the near future of the game. Fans of the game will be thrilled by the creative new units that are coming over the next few months.<br>

Games Workshop's Place Holder for the Horus Heresy Game

The address matches up with the heading for a game, and while the page was blank, its been since removed. While it could be something for the Black Library, it's quite possibly what we have been waiting for in regards to the recent rumors of a new stand alone game.<br>
