Heroclix Master Chief and Arbiter
August 26, 2011 by dracs
WizKids have put up the latest addition to the Halo Heroclix range. Now Master Chief will be joined by Arbiter in the frey.
I have to say these seem to be a small improvement on the previous Halo releases. I still think they're aweful, but when held up against the others of the range they're probably the best I've seen.
It really is a shame that such a great franchise as Halo is getting this kind of treatment, especially when you consider the sci-fi trooper style figures provided by other ranges, such as this one from Pig Iron.
Ah well, guess we will just have to hope Fantasy Flight bails it out with a board game like they did for Gears of War.

Blech! That’s what I say.
And as for the Pig Iron stuff, I was painting up a small squad of their Heavy Infantry for the BoW painting competition but I’ve run out of time.. and they look really good with the Halo-ish System Trooper helmets, too!
A Fantasy Flight Halo game would be pretty awesome. Could do something like a stand alone card game – where you control a fire team of Spartans? Or maybe even a board game controlling the massive armies, navys and such of the respective armies of Covenant and Earth.
With added ‘Flood Arrival!’ Card lol
…plus the Chief there doesn’t even look like the Chief from the games. Todd Mcfarlane did some great sculpts of the heroes, and they even made great action figures of the Haloverse…so why oh why 🙁
Was just thinking that the trooper was not so bad
Then noticed it was a Pigiron mini! lol
To be fair the Arbiter is the best one so far.
Never played Halo the game and will never play this game.
This due figure is actually some what better compared to other Halo Heroclix stuff that we have seen so far. Then again this is chase so it better be better looking than others.
