If you live in a trailer home and don't have electricity, you can still play Halo as creator of HeroClix and Pirates of the Spanish Main, WizKids, has just revealed its agreement with Bungie Studios and Microsoft to develop a new collectible miniatures game called Halo ActionClix. Sounds great. Here's the full scoop on it.

"Expanding the Halo universe into the Clix CMG world is a perfect fit for the franchise," said Brian Jarrard, director of Franchise and Community Affairs at Bungie Studios. "WizKids' commitment to quality and authentic detail ensures that these new Halo ActionClix figures will appeal to collectors and CMG players alike."

"We are proud to be associated with a great brand like Halo ," said Lax Chandra, WizKids® president. "We are always looking for ways to push the envelope with our games and content. The phenomenal Halo video game play and universe provided us with an excellent spring board for innovation in tabletop miniatures gaming. We are very excited about this release."

The Halo ActionClix CMG brings the Halo universe to the tabletop via the award-winning Clix miniatures game engine. Basically, if you're familiar with HeroClix and HorrorClix, you'll be able to jump right into the action and enjoy brand-new game mechanics, including weapon swaps, figure respawning and vehicle-based combat.

The first set will feature more than 80 unique miniature figures from the Halo universe, including preview content from Halo 3, of course. Vehicle packs are also being produced (with a big surprise planned for San Diego Comic-Con this July), while figures will be sold in randomized Booster Packs. The vehicles and a Starter Game will be sold in a diorama display format.

Try it the old fashioned way for once. You never know what other skills you have besides button mashing. Halo ActionClix is set for a September 2007 release, with special Prerelease figures available at San Diego Comic-Con July 26 - 29, and at Gen Con Indy August 16 - 19.
