Hmmm your link is redirecting. Lemme try this one:

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)!

At only 40 points the Grunt (Fuel Rod Cannon) is the perfect foot soldier for the forces of the Covenant. The Grunt (Fuel Rod Cannon) begins play with the Stand Together special power which grants him a +1 modifier to his attack value when he is adjacent to another figure named Grunt. Early-dial, the Grunt (Fuel Rod Cannon) also possesses the Fuel Rod Explosion special power which potentially deals penetrating damage to not only the target of his attack but figures adjacent to the attack as well!

Willpower allows the Grunt (Fuel Rod Cannon) to take multiple shots at his enemies on subsequent turns while late-dial Penetrating/Psychic Blast gives the Grunt (Fuel Rod Cannon) the opportunity to bypass his foes’ damage reducing powers.

Lastly, the Convenant Empire team ability grants the Grunt (Fuel Rod Cannon) the option of carrying other figures with the same team ability. The Grunt (Fuel Rod Cannon) is an excellent mobile gun battery for most team builds and strategies!

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

The Grunt (Plasma Grenade) begins play manuevering into battle via Running Shot while his Sticky Grenade special power grants him the ability to use Grenades as a ranged combat action rather than the standard power action. The Grunt (Plasma Grenade) adds two to your available Grenade pool and his arsenel of Plasma grenades ensure that his opponents will be on their toes when he begins throwing Grenades their way!

Energy Shield/Deflection helps protect the Grunt (Plasma Grenade) from ranged retailatory attacks while late-dial his Suicidal Charge special power grants the Grunt (Plasma Grenade) the ability to use both Charge and Quake at the cost of one of the Grenades in your Grenade pool.

The Grunt (Plasma Grenade) also possesses the Covenant Empire team ability ensuring that he will remain mobile on the battelfield as he and other members of the team manuever and carry each other to where they’ll do the most good (or is that bad?).

That’s all we have for today, but be sure to join us later this week as we spotlight more figures from HALO HeroClix!

Meh.
For a few seconds I was extatic, wondering how I had missed the announcement of Mass Effect Clix. Then I clicked the link...

i must say that THIS is a great generic! for 120pts you can have three of these guys. 2 of them will be able to shoot next turn with an 11 av. you still have lots of room to build them! good range and will power means they will shoot twice. soldier keyword means they'll be the perfect a team of ppl from any set. another great preview!!

Darn.

I had a brief moment's hope that they were surprising us with a sneak peek of an unannounced GI Joe clix.

Fuel Rod Grunt has the best name for a power: "Rod Strike". I'll play him just to say "Grunt will use his Rod strike on Hulk". COMEDY!

Contrary to popular belief, I do know what I'm doing

I may be alone in this thinking, but I will not be getting Halo-clix (well maybe just a Master Chief and Cortana... But that's it).

I love the Halo series. Owned/played every game at length, online, multiple play-throughs, etc... Read some of the novels and comics. I love the world and the stories... but I just can't see myself playing these, most of all not in correlation with Heroclix.

They do look cool and fun, but I think they should have stuck to their own stand-alone game.

Alex Ross hates Kyle Rayner too.
I hope the Death's head sculpt is hideous and his dial is just as bad.

Honestly, like Hand Ninjas, this is part of the reason people feel DR's are frequently outmatched in the game.

You have a 40 pt figure that potentially can punch through DR the entire length of its' dial.

Not saying it isn't a cool figure and, yes, I realize it packs an "anti-armour gun". Just noting where some of this imbalance seems to arise. Maybe the cheap generics should war with other cheap figures and not be a consistent threat to the high-point ones?

So which of these, if either, is a repaint from the original Halo Action Clix?
Not that it matters to me. I love these guys and can't wait to build an army full of them!

Running Shot Grenade! LOL!

I think these guys are very game-accurate.

Much love!
