Spartan Games is a tabletop game manufacturing company based in the United Kingdom established in 2009, specializing in tabletop miniature wargames. Previous games produced by the company include the fantasy naval combat game Uncharted Seas and the Steampunk-Victorian Dystopian Wars.[1]
In February of 2015, Spartan Games announced that the company had established a License Agreement with Microsoft Studios to design and produce tabletop miniatures games for the Halo series. Spartan Games confirmed that the first game would be released in 2015, which would depict space battles, such as the Fall of Reach. Furthermore, the company also confirmed that they would be producing land-based combat games as well.[2] Spartan Games worked together with 343 Industries to produce ship designs that had never visually appeared in previous canon, such as the ORS-class heavy cruiser and the Epoch-class heavy carrier. Although the company was given considerable freedom in designing the models, 343i's Franchise team ensured that each vessel properly fit their faction, role, and established canonical details.[3]
