Which is why I made the post wondering what everyone else' opinion was.Errex wrote: ↑Wed Jun 26, 2019 1:27 pmI actually like having different era figures in any given assortment. The problem I see with era-specific series is that if you don't care for a specific period and skip a series, it might take over a year to actually buy anything again.
The way things are, you can pick and choose the figs you want (sort of).

I still don't understand what you mean. An era is a period of time, but the Halo Wars games don't exist together in a separate timezone to the rest of the Halo franchise. If you want to get technical about it, the Halo Wars games take place in separate eras to each other.

Halo Wars 1 takes place prior to the events of the main Halo trilogy, but all of the weapon, armour, and vehicle designs use the same aesthetic as seen in the first three games. The marines are regular marines, the elites are classic elites, the Prophet of Regret is still the Prophet of Regret, the Arbiter's armour design is similar to the H3 version, etc. Therefore the content from this game would integrate seamlessly with the rest of the original trilogy period.
Halo Wars 2, on the other hand, takes place thirty years later during the reclaimer trilogy period, but the humans still only have access to their outdated tech, so their stuff could still easily be slotted in with the original trilogy in terms of design styles. The only outlier would be the Banished, who were founded sometime prior to Halo 1, but could still be lumped in with the sequel trilogy stuff because that's the first time period where they featured in a game.
