Review: Brute Chieftan Charge

We have some summer Halo releases hitting stores now, and one of them is this Brute Chieftan Charge set. We’ve been focusing on some figures with more hierarchal roles for a while now (see: Honor Guard and Ultra Elites), so it’s nice to see the Brute Chieftan join the ranks!

Coming in at 72 pieces, this set will take most builders under fifteen minutes — even less if you’ve completed the original Brute Chopper.

Complete!

So, yes, this is not the first time we’ve released a Brute Chopper, but there are some important differences aside from the obvious colour change to a beautiful metallic crimson.

For one thing, there are no stickers in this set. All of the details have been painted directly onto the blocks.

There’s a lot of subtle details that take this release to a new level.

Some more custom painting.

Of course, the Chopper is just one part of this set …

Brute Chieftan


The Brute Chieftan has finally arrived! For this figure, we spent countless hours developing a highly custom mould with loads of details. Pretty much everything on here is different from the standard issue Brute. And he comes armed with the long-awaited Gravity Hammer!

Looking forward to seeing the great photos you guys do with this weapon!

For times when you don’t feel like melee combat, the Chieftan also comes armed with a black Brute Spiker.

So that’s it for this review! I hope you guys are as glad as I am to see the Jiralhanae figures getting some love — appropriate, too, being that they supplanted the Sangheili to lead the Covenant military. Let me know what you think of this set in the comments!

    Hey mega bloks, me again. Thought this was an appropriate place to put another idea. (I think you guys should put out another post for ideas!) Could you guys do a yellow covenant combat unit. It could include another weapon armour rack. Figures could include two yellow brutes and a drone. The armory portion could be another helmet and arms to make a brute war chieftain and another helmet to make a brute captain. weapons could include a plasma pistol, a spiker, fuel rod gun, brute plasma rifle and spike grenade.

    The chopper looks pretty good apart from the cannons which i really don’t like. The gravity hammer and brute chieftan have been on my wish list for awhile now and i’m very exited to see mega bloks make it hopefully there will be more brute chieftans in the future.

    There is only one brute chieftain . . . as far as I know . . . The prophet of truth, whom you defeat in the end of Halo 2 (I Love that game).

    You know what I would like to see? I wanna see you make the Arbiter a figure, and have him riding a ghost. I think that would be a pretty awesome buy, considering how you are moving into a Halo 3 kind of area with this chieftan. That is just my thought on the matter though. Otherwise, cool set with an equally cool figure.

    That thing has some awesome decals. I’m so glad we’re moving past the need for stickers. No more fear of permanently disfiguring my models.

    This is a fantastic set. An improvement over the previous release. The Chieftan is an incredible figure. One of your best in the Halo line. I love the Crimson color in the Chopper. The addition of the Gravity hammer is the icing on the blok. I can’t wait to get this set. Multiples even.
