New Halo goodies from Spartan coming on 27 April!
For the UNSC, we get the Halberd-class destroyers and MAC platforms:

Couple things I noticed: 1) these are resin, and 2) no Paris frigates. Which is OK with me, because I already have I think close to 90 frigates.
A little information about the Halberd:

According to this article, they can carry Pelicans. Interesting...
And for the Covenant, ADP-class escorts and DSC-class support ships!

And here's some information about these ships:

Sounds as if the ADP is another ship created specifically for Halo: Fleet Battles.
http://www.halopedia.org/DSC-class_support_ship
The DSC has a built-in hunting preserve for Covenant soldiers to hunt their food. You'd have to be a fool--or a Spartan--to board a ship like that.
My hope for both the Halberd and ADP is that there are enough overlays to run them will all of their respective fleet's capital ships. Time will tell...
