Happy for Mantic to reach out and collaborate with me. My first spartan during this challenge!

Photo guide for how I assemble and prime resin minis such as the Fireteam Phoenix that Mantic sent me over. Stay tuned for follow on days to show how I base coat, highlight, finish and base minis!

I’ll also be timing everything to see how long it exactly takes to get a fireteam ready to go. Assembly and priming took me 36:30.

Since the only thing I’ve had experience with painting for Halo Flashpoint’s official models are Spartans & Elites, I’m really excited to get these guys painted up in their Halo Reach Style color Scheme.

I decided to time lapse all my paint sessions for the #HaloFastGrow challenge. Here's the first one. I'll be posting them to my Instagram reels if anyone wants to follow along @curlystache

Hey all,

looking at getting some new paints to paint my ODST box, wanting to do a fire team with the basic box colours but not sure what colours match that. Any recommendations? I'm thinking Dataslate gray for the armour a few times and maybe scinari or storm wolf blue for visor?

While we are on the topic are there any other colours that you'd pick up in this range?

(Yes I know there is a stigma around citadel paint pots etc but there is literally a Warhammer shop a 2 min walk from my office so it's super convenient. I'm also not keen on thinning paints at all as I always mess it up and from testing in the store these paints seem to work well without.)

Here's the team I chose(yesterday). I'm excited to get some paint on these guys and put them on the table! Also super hoping I win the prize!

Not the best detail but a great start to these little guys. I will admit once this game was announced I was praying for some grunts, now with the covenant on the way we need our boy arbiter!! And of course THE FLOOD!!!

Ive started painting my elites, but I really want to try to recreate the metallic, almost iridescent look from Combat Evolved with them. I figure that airbrushing contrast over silver might work best for the Blue minors and Red majors. But I’m curious about what techniques and paints y’all would use to recreate these looks.

So far, these are the paint recipes I’m planning on for the blue and red armor:

Minor Blue
1. Primer: Black
2. Base Coat: Silver
3. Airbrush/Recess Shade: Doomfire Magenta or Baal Red
4. Airbrush/Highlight: Silver
5. Edge Highlight: Silver
6. Airbrush: Calth Blue Clear
7. Gloss Varnish
8. (Transfers)
9. (Pin wash)
10. Gloss Varnish

Major Red
1. Primer: Black
2. Base Coat: Silver
3. Airbrush/Recess Shade: Flesh Tearers Red/Sigvald Burgundy
4. Airbrush/Highlight: Silver
5. Edge Highlight: Silver
6. Airbrush: Baal Red/Volupus Pink
7. Gloss Varnish
8. (Transfers)
9. (Pin wash)
10. Gloss Varnish

Is there an up-to-date buying guide considering 1.5? I only have the original spartan edition box, but am looking to dig in further. Uncertain if wargames is still worth buying, for instance.

Thanks!

Hey guys!

I plan on buying the Feet First Into Hell box as my first purchase into flashpoint. My question is is there any other box or anything y'all would recommend I get along with it? I would primarily be interested in UNSC. Thank y'all in advance!

So yeah I might be done by tomorrow 💀. Only got some edge highlights and basing left...

Anyone have these who would be willing to take a measurement from the soles of their boots to their eyeline?

I'm curious if they're in scale with the majority of the line or if they're oversized like the ODST.

Hi folks, does anyone have scale photos of Elites/Jackals/Grunts with 40k miniatures?

I am keen to get some but I want to make sure they scale well with my existing miniatures- particularly my imperial guard

Purchased these like a year ago and finally got round to putting some paint on them. Fantastic models and its sparked a real fervor for all things halo.

Definitely going to regret not using true metalics, but woth the royal guards, hunter and prophets round the corner, im wildly hyped.

Should you buy it?

hello again everyone, I haven’t been on Reddit since around this time last year. I’m so excited that the Covenant are finally coming to Halo Flashpoint in an official box! some of you have been waiting a year for my Energy Sword OSL video for some time & I apologize for the wait but I’ll post that soon. in the meantime here’s some pics from when I got all my bases for my 3D Printed & finished models Black.

Vortex always picked a color scheme opposed to mine, so where I picked red and black, he'd go blue and white or blue and silver. Decided to paint the needler in halo3 colors in memory of those times.
