One bit of painting I have managed over the last couple of weeks is to complete all the models I got for Halo Flashpoint, I now just need to paint up the terrain and objective pieces I got.
These are repeats of models I've already painted so it would allow you to field multiples of the same model and weapon combination, which as we will see could be useful. For these I steered away from the metallic paints and went with the GW contrasts instead.
One model which is different is that of the Master Chief, one of the original Spartans he's normally the hero of any Halo video game I believe.
He has his own special ability which is to be able to use multiple command dice during his activation, normally you can only use one of fire, fight, or move per model each turn. As he gives an extra 3 command dice in addition to the base 2 you could be doing a lot of fighting or shooting each turn with him. Looking at his stats you can see that he's a prime candidate for a ranged weapon pickup during the game and no slouch in melee either with his energy sword.
Whilst he takes up two spaces in your roster you could pair him with two Mk. VII's who each bring 1 extra command dice to give you a potential of 7 command dice each turn. You wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of that I suspect.
