Hey everyone,
I’ve been thinking over who I reckon could be still to come for the last leaders. We have Jerome and Ripa Moramee for this month, one more UNSC leader and one more Banished leader, and then finally the two Brute leaders in ATN that are heavily suspected to be the two Brutes in the ATN artwork.
This means we only have one more unannounced UNSC leader, and I’m curious as to who it could be. I see two options; either its another classic character like Forge or Johnson, or its a brand new never before seen character like Kinsano. I don’t think it will be Alice or Douglas, as they’re already adding one Spartan leader! I know this won’t happen, but I’d love to see Chief as a leader! My other thought is that we could get classic Buck, as there are two ODST focused missions releasing the same month as the final UNSC leader.
As for the final Banished leader (excluding ATN leaders), that’s more interesting. Could we see a well known Brute like Tartarus return? Also I remember someone saying they had an idea for a Engineer leader lol, and some people even speculated that you can see one on the menu screen for Terminus Firefight! Seem unlikely to me but this would be a great idea!
Anyway, what you guys think? Hopefully some of you have more imaginative ideas than me 
I’d like a brand new ODST character, I feel like we’ve got a fair amount of nostalgia and we don’t need any more classic characters returning. Give me a new character to learn about and fall in love with.
Same thing goes for the Banished. I think it’s great fan service to bring back the Arbiter, but I’d love to see an Unggoy or Kig-Yar leader. We’ve never seen either of those species in a leadership position, and it would provide great depth to the Halo universe, like Colony.
How do we know we are getting two more leaders? By my count we have 6 (Forge, Kinsano, Colony, Johnson, Jerome, Arbiter) and two more Banished leaders coming in Fall. Do we know there will be more than 8 extra leaders? Has this been announced somewhere? I am hoping there will be more, but I am curious why we are certain there will be more.

Fair enough. Just hoping they don’t mean Ripa and Jerome are the ones still to come. I hope there are two more though! And I hope when they are done adding leaders that there is an even number of Banished and UNSC.

Sorry I put the wrong link when I first posted. Look at the updated link I dropped.
They specifically said we have 1 UNSC and 1 Banished leader left for season pass holders. Then 2 new banished when ATN releases.

Thanks. Makes things much more clear to me now. Looks like they outlined everything that will be included in season pass… looks like a bargain. Am excited about the new expansion too, I like how they indicated it was almost like a new game like Halo 3 ODST.

This, this and this! Imagine if the last Banished leader was a Grunt in a Goblin would be great to see that in Halo Wars, and its already made an appearance outside of Halo 5 (in Halo: Envoy), so it could happen!
It’d be great if there was a leader that could call in Flood-like powers. I know they said that the Flood won’t be playable, but they have also suggested that other factions could be called upon (like Anders w/ sentinels). Maybe ATN will have an infected Brute leader that can do some neat Flood attacks.

Thats an interesting idea, like if they had a flood spore gun or something lol they could have tanks with flood spores that they spray at the enemy! My interpretation of your idea seems quite counter productive as far as the people using the “spore guns” are concerned lol but yeah, thats a cool idea man
16 leaders in total when all said and done, I’m hyped! I wanna see Yabba the merciless.

Same here that would be awesome, and I genuinely think that is a possibility, they must have at least considered it!

They basically already said it was going to be an ODST leader.
Was watching a vid about July and August releases: July will have Operation Spearbreaker which will follow an ODST leader+Unknown UNSC Leader (Obviously gonna be the ODST from Spearbreaker) and August is an unknown Banished leader.

I’m sure by now it’s decided who are the leaders, I guess we’ll just have to wait and see
