We continue our series of regular HALO HeroClix previews with a visit to the Convenant front lines. We begin today’s article by checking in on the Grunt (Fuel Rod Cannon)! [...]


Next up, we have another dedicated foot soldier for the Convenant cause, the Grunt (Plasma Grenade)! [...]

Man I hope these are easy to get. I love the look of these little guys.

I like them both even if it is hard to understand why any grunt would ever have willpower, and the suicide grunt doesn't kill itself with the grenades

I got all excited when I saw grunt and thought we were getting mass effect clix..

I would hunt down every piece from a mass effect heroclix set!

I can't wait for this set!

Anyone else notice that they are backwards on their dials? they are facing the rear...

I was just about to post something mentioning that too. I wonder if this is for this set alone, or if this is a change that will be seen brand wide.

I prefer this, lets me see the dial and if my opponent wants to see it, I get the awesome sculpt.

Thurst into battle?

Thrust.

Are plasma grenades useless against Invulnerability? That doesn't jibe with my memories of Halo... 90% of my playing time I was watching my corpse fly into the air in amusing ways.

It seems like neither of these guys can actually hurt Master Chief for the most part, which isn't very encouraging

Interesting dials, like the TA, but the sculpts do not do much for me; look like clay-namation.

Never having played Halo (there, I've come out of the closet! ) are these figs good depictions of the Covenant cannon fodder?

The dials aren't bad.
The sculpts suck. Looks like something my daughter made for me in kindergarten out of Play-Do

i believe so. fuel rod grunts sit back and fire in your general direction and suicide grunts charge you and explode so yeah it seems accurate enough (minor discrepancies but things like that are expected in games like clix)

Plasma Grenades!

I get a feeling that this set is going to be a reverse of what we normally get, with 75% or so being generics with some fill-in named characters.

Not that I'm complaining, mind you.
