WizKids announced today that it is launching
its Halo ActionClix collectable miniatures game (CMG) this week. The Halo
ActionClix game can be purchased at retail chains such as Target, Frys and
Game Stop, as well as at local hobby and game stores.
The Halo ActionClix CMG brings the Halo universe
to the tabletop via the Clix miniatures game engine. Players
are able to replicate the multiplayer action from all three Halo
games using prepainted plastic miniatures of Halo characters
(such as Master Chief and the Flood) and vehicles (such as the Warthog and
Banshee). Each unit has a unique combat dial that lists the unit’s
constantly evolving stats and a character card that list specific abilities
of that piece. Using different “move and shoot” capabilities, players move
their units and vie for the perfect shot.
WizKids’ Halo ActionClix: Series One set features more than 90 units,
including those found in the Hunter Combat Pack, Warthog Vehicle Pack and
Banshee Vehicle Pack. Series One is packaged in two main Game Pack
varieties: a $9.99 pack (four units, four character cards, two dice, rules,
tokens and a map) and a $10.99 pack (five units, five character cards,
rules, tokens and a map). Players can even purchase the largest figure that
WizKids has ever created — the Scarab, from Halo 3.
