Where it gets interesting is that sixes count as two successes and you get to roll another dice (another six means rinse and repeat!). If my gun has 4 dice and you have a damage rating of 3 then I need to roll at least three 4+ dice rolls. Some of the features below are found in other game systems of course.Īll games have a number of dice to get a number of successes. Instead of going through each game system’s basics I will outline them here, then I will focus on the playstyles. Spartan Games have several common features. Geoff was partially correct when they said this: Spartan has made a Halo Fleet game but is also making a Halo Battlefields game in 15MM! Fleet is out this summer, Battlefields next year.Īs one of your Local Spartan Vanguards I will be looking into doing an introduction and demonstration day at Athena in the near future. If you have recently heard of Spartan it is probably because you love shooting zealot xenomorphs/festering Flood and your mate Geoff told you there is going to be a miniature game about this. Spartan quietly bought the rights to make a Halo table top game. I have had as much fun on a table with Spartan Games systems as a man can without meat or beer! So I want to get folk as enthusiastic as me, even if it means running two day tournaments, painting scenery for a week solid and 5am starts for Salute! He ran through a demo of the 1.1 rules and I loved it. My first contact with Spartan was through a friend getting into Dystopian Wars. I am really out there to run intros, demos and get people excited by what I find immensely exiting.

My title is ‘Spartan Vanguard’ which I feel should be ‘Helot’ (what, I read a book!). Spartan enlists enthusiastic volunteers (we do this for free or, at most, a voucher) such as myself to promote them through games and events. Even their son is heavily involved in playtesting.

Neil is the creative lead and his wife has a fantastic mind for business. Spartan has existed since 2008 and was founded by a chap called Neil Fawcett.

So I volunteered to write an article about Spartan Games and, more importantly, their game systems.
