WizKids today announced that the Halo ActionClix collectible miniature game will be hitting stores September 19th. The Halo ActionClix collectable miniatures game brings the Halo universe to players' tabletops via the Clix miniatures game engine. Players are able to replicate the action from the Halo games using high-quality pre-painted, plastic miniatures of Halo characters and vehicles. WizKids' Halo ActionClix is accessible to all levels of players letting them jump right into the action and enjoy Halo game mechanics, including weapon swaps, figure re-spawning and vehicle-based combat. The game also shares the same basic game mechanics as the other Clix games so players will be able to play Halo ActionClix with other Clix products.

The first Halo ActionClix set will feature more than 80 miniature figures from the Halo universe, including preview content from Halo 3. There are two main booster pack varieties ­ a $10 pack (4 game figures, 4 stat cards, 2 die and 1 start-up map) and an $11 pack ( 5-figure blind pack with 5 figures, 5 stat cards, 2 dice and a start-up map). An average game of Halo ActionClix should take 2 players around 45 minutes.

Counting down to the game's September 19th release, Wizkids will be revealing information on some of the Halo ActionClix's key figures. This week, more information is revealed about some of the Covenant's forces. Read it below :

Grunts:

Serving as the main infantry of the Covenant army, individually the Grunts are fairly weak and are most effective when attacking in groups. In Halo ActionClix, Grunts will similarly be weak on their own but with grenades they will still stand a chance against more powerful foes.

Jackals

As the next step up from the Grunts, Jackals serve a more defensive/long-range role in the Covenantıs forces. In Halo ActionClix, as in the video games, Jackals can also come equipped with shields, making them one of the tougher characters to take down.

Brutes

The newest addition to the Covenantıs army, the Brutes are also unquestionably one of its toughest factions. Physically resilient and extremely strong, their Halo ActionClix counterparts will definitely be a force on your tabletop.

Elites

As one of its oldest and most respected members, the Elites hold a special place within the Covenantıs hierarchy. This, coupled with their excellent fighting skills and superior military minds, make them one of the biggest threats to the Covenantıs enemies. Halo ActionClixıs Elites are no different, and will come equipped with a variety of weapons, from Plasma Rifles to Energy Swords.
