I like the dials, but the SGT's right shoulder and arm look really bad to me?

First post!

Glad to see the Sgt's point total, because we all know that a big Johnson will enable you to go far in this world.

I know virtually nothing about Halo (and Gears of War for that matter) but this set intrigues me.

Halo or SF?

So... Johnson gets the good leadership ability at the end of his dial? That's practically useless.

So this halo set will be playable with other heroclix figures? I was under the impression the last halo set was not playable with other heroclix.

Curious that their team ability isn't copyable. It's just the SHIELD TA, isn't it?

Umm.. can someone explain the 4 squares away leadership to me?

***Sorry. Forgot about the new moving action token ruling***

It is the same for the most part; however, I think it is slightly different. With the SHIELD TA, I believe you get either +1 range or +1 damage if they are adjacent. With the UNSC TA, it sounds like you get both +1 range and +1 damage if they are adjacent.

Ooooh, I see now. That is kind of mean.

ODST has (Orbital) Insertion then deals penetrating damage for the rest of his dial

EDIT: LOL he also has a Magnum (pistol)

And for backup we have SGT Johnson

It was not, they made it in a new game system to try to catch onto the weapon swapping and re-spawns of multiplayer shooters. These definitely are compatible with Heroclix, though.
