In the lead up to release of Halo ActionClix, the company are showcasing their new forces, starting with the Covenant. We won't be following the rest of the ActionClix figures, so you'll have to visit the official site for more information.
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 Covenant’s 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 Covenant's 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 Covenant's hierarchy. This, coupled with their excellent fighting skills and superior military minds, make them one of the biggest threats to the Covenant’s enemies. Halo ActionClix's Elites are no different, and will come equipped with a variety of weapons, from Plasma Rifles to Energy Swords.
The first Halo ActionClix set will feature more than 80 unique 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.
Please note: Specialist retailers in the UK (such as Forbidden Planet) should be stocking this, although street dates and prices are yet to be confirmed.
