It's a very easy game. Most problems are with a few misprintings on dials and the clear rods some of the hovering/flying models use can break kinda easily. Some people say the vehicles are too powerful, and some say the opposite. No idea myself. :)

My biggest problems are that at least half of the models you get will be spartans, and I understand why they did it, but it is annoying none-the-less. And because of copyright issues with bungie splitting from microsoft there might not be any more sets.

Great models though. I think they're all based on the CG models and almost all in scale. What a novelty. :)

For vehicles I'd suggest checking out the McFarlane Toys Halo vehicles, they're a bit out of scale one way or another, but in general they work pretty well.

Agreed I current have a couple, add some cadian plastics, pigiron helmets, heresy weapons and you got yourself a little USMC OSD troopers

(Once built I'll post up).

thanks for the replies.
yeah i would be really interested in seeing that warthog because what there asking for theres is ridiculous.
i have read through the rules once. they seem simple enough. having played star wars alot i get the hang of the attacking and all that quite easily. but one question....what are the flag/ upgrade tokens for?

To mark how many upgrade tokens a model has wracked up on one side, and presumably the flag part is for home rules/game type they didn't get to make.
