Neoscream's Life, the 21st to the 27th of March

The first five Iron Man Armours

Well another week of is now over and done with and it is time to write it up. Last week was on car park duty at work and help a friend with their garden, but what does is week's post have hold for me.

Blaire was on-line Monday morning. (Again writing this days after does not help with writing it up.) Before going to work I manage to get something to work that I had been trying to get to work all weekend. I did not talk about is last week as it is a secrute project I have been doing. This means that I can do it, however I still need to decide on a formate to do it in. I worked from 10AM to 2PM. We were under staff most of lunch time as most of the 12PM start stuff did not turn up until 1:30PM due to problems on the M1. I did not go to the gym as my legs when hurting, most likey from the gardening I was doing on Sunday. When I got home I posted DreamClix Dial Design post I was meant to have posted yeater day and two Cosplay Deviants posts one of the set from Friday and one of a Jsica set I missed from just before Christmas. I manage to find it as the Cosplay Deviants website was heavly revamped. The models now have all their sets linked to their profiles, there is now a video section with old videos they use to have before I joined and you now stay logged in longer. The only problems at the moment are the fact that the event galaries are missing and they have not updated the preview for next Saturday's set. Sadly I did not get around to posting the new MS Wars post before going to bed. However it was all ready on the database.

Blaire on Monday
On Tuesday I got around to donating £15 to the Red Cross for the Japan Tsunami Appeal. However I found out afterwards that Fanprojects had ran out of Blesser two days ago. Never mind. I worked from 10AM to 1:30PM. As my legs were still hurting I did not go to the gym again. When I got home I posted last week's Neoscream's List post and the MS Wars post that was meant to have been done yesterday. Also the preview of Saturday's new set on Cosplay Deviants finally can up. It with be a Jsica set next and the preview picture is quite hot. Sweet.

On Wednesday apart from working 11AM to 4:30PM I did not do much notable. Busy on the project and the Heroclix post.

The preview picture of the Jsica's
new set
On Thursday I found that there were no updates for CosmicBreak this week as they still can not get into their Japanese offices. They are hoping to be back to do an update next week. I worked from 10AM to 2:15PM. As I was leaving Marisa came to visit with her body. He so does look like his father Atif. Still have no idea when Atif is back in the country. Legs are still hurting, but they are a lot better. I am hoping to be able to go to the gym tomorrow. There was no Heroclix this week so I post the Heroclix post a day earlier.

On Friday apart from working 11AM to 5PM I did not do much to be note wervy again. At about 9:30PM I recived an e-mail that said my brick of Giant Size X-Men was in the post.

On Saturday morning Blaire came on-line. She has not been on line for a while again due the Kola falling sick again with something else. Kola is currently at the pet Hospital and Blaire is busy bleaching her house. Blaire had some fun with Cudda again before leaving. At coffee was Richard and Darren H. Richard told me that he would be leaving his at about 11AM on Sunday to pick people up for a 12PM start. I worked from 12PM to 3:30PM. As I was finishing work I asked when was I starting on Monday and I was told 12PM. When I gort home I found my brick of the new Heroclix set arrived in the post. I will talk more about it in next week's Heroclix post. Before going to bed I posted monthly MS Wars Update post and cheecked out the new Cosplay Devients set by Jsica. Oh and adjusted my clock as the clock are going forward one hour in the morning.

Blaire on Saturday
Sunday was my day off work like normal. Before going to Role-Play I posted a preview post of the new Cosplay Devients set and started play a new game that is in Open Beta testing called Pockie Ninja. It is a RPG/Beat-them-up game whern you get to play as a Chibi version of a Naruto or Bleach character. As I could not choose Hinata or Kakashi from Naruto I ended going for Momo from Bleach. Me text me at 11:20AM to say that he was just leaving but be needs to get pesal first. He pick me up at 12:30PM after pick up the others. So we did not start till 1PM. This week, our characters finally gained their powers. Nathean's character became super strengh and tough. Richard's character can not be dected by electronics and people forgrt about him. And my character can repair and rebuild anything and most of my skills went up 20%. When I got home I posted the next DreamClix Dial Designs, however I did not post the week's Watch, Listen and Watch.

Well that is another week over and done with. Here is a list of up and coming blog post and the planned (not set) dates for them:

Thursday 31st March: Cosmic Break News Update (if it happens) and Units - Grey Jeep (MS Wars only).
Friday 1st April: Heroclix.

MS Wars Update, 26th of March, Mekton Super Wars

Not a Mecha from from MS Wars or one I
designed.

Welcome to another MS Wars Update. As you might have noticed, I had changed the last two Units post due to the fact that I forgot that there were several more Infantry Units to post and most of the new stuff I were new to the database. So I had to cut them back down to one unit post a time instead of two. For now the rule are finished, will until I do more testing to find things to change or add new rule. I will be testing after the next five units are done. My original plan for the test was to do all units for the three key races (Human, Elf and Dwarf) in the three main tech groups (Mecha, Infantry and Ground Vehicle) up to tech level two. However, I decided to change that to all Human, Elf Infantry and Mecha and Dwarf Infantry. I plan on doing updates every four days instead of every five and then do the next update post when they are all done.

On other MS Wars news I am currently trying to decided to ever run for role-play a MS Wars game based during before the fall of the Mobius Empire or a Code Geass game based on Britannian troops in the EU. With both I have been talked into using Mekton Zeta rules. Code Geass is currently winning. However, I have never played Mekton before, so I am wanting to play a game of it be for running a game. Oh and I am somewhat dumping the race Galgols, in fact they are being merged with the Dragonits.

Well that is all I have for this update. Here is a rough time table of MS Wars posts until and including the next update post.

30th March: Units: Let unnamed human command jeep
4th April: Units: Human Bikers
9th April: Units: Hattori, Standard Type
14th April: Units Update: Amago, Scout Type
19th April: Units: Let unnamed human light tank
24th April: Units: Let unnamed human armoured carrier
29th Apirl: MS Wars Update

Until next have fun.

Heroclix 24th of March, DreamClix Special

Welcome to another Heroclix post. First off as they still cannot get into their offices, there is was no updates for CosmicBreak this week again. Due to no Darren this week, there was no Heroclix this so the will only be DreamClix this week as there is not new news this week. Next week we will now not be doing the Mojo event as Darren need to do some updating on Mojo world even. It will now be 1200 points, 4 actions, no colossal figures and usual house rules.

This week's DreamClix I am doing for ShounenClix the dial designs for Ebisu, his shadow clone from Naruto, Buggy the Clown from One Piece and a duo figure of Yamcha and Pu’ar from Dragon Ball. For MAClix I am doing Min and Vadhaka from the Wolverine anime and for MechaClix I am design ideas for Zero Saber Girl, Mecha Jetter Girl and Koko Gaap from CosmicBreak as well as Batou, Chief Aramaki and Togusa from Ghost in the Shell. But first I like to do a TA and keyword reminder for people. First of here is a list of TAs that I have done. If they are a TA based on an establish TA I will note list the TA then what it does.

Britannian – Same as PD AT.
Black Knights – Same as Superman Enemy AT.
Bleach – Same as X-Men.
Chaos – Same as Sinister Syndicate.
Dragon Ball – Same as Fantastic Four TA not ATA.
IS – Wild Card.
Naruto – Ignore terrain for movement a part from indoor walls and indoor blocking terrain.
One Piece – Same as Ultimate X-Men.
Section 9 - Same as Batman Allies.
Unions – Same as CSA.

Next are the keywords which I will be listing as Generic or Non-Generic.

Generic: Air, Artillery, Bounty Hunter, Devil Fruit, Knightmare, Land, Pirates, Soul Reaper, Support.

Non-Generie: Alvida Pirates, ANBU, Arling's Crew, Black Cat Pirates, Black Knights, Britannian, Buggy Pirates, Captain, Chaos, Chibi, Division 1 to 13 (one for each number, formerly Squads for Bleach), Dragon Ball Gang, Gatou, Hollow, Japanese Resistance, JSDF, Jinchurlki, Karakura Town, Kira, Kira Investigation Team, IS Academy, Kirigakure, Konohagakure, Lieutenant, Madripoor, Marine, Menso, Minions of Picallo, Mod-Soul, Moe, Orochimaru, Pilaf Gang, Quincy, Roger Pirates, PTU, Saiyan, Section 9, Seven Ninja Shiba Clan, Swordsman of the Mist, Shinigami, Straw Hat Crew, Team Guy, Team Jiraiya, Team Kakashi, Team Minato, Turtie Shell School, Uchiha Clan, Union, Clan Yashida, Z Fighters, Zodiac.

Also here are the special CosmicBreak Traits:

AIR: When making a range attack ageist a character with the Land keyword, modify you attack value by +1 and damage value by +2.

LND: When making a melee attack ageist a character with the Artillery keyword, modify you attack value by +1 and damage value by +2.

ART: When making a range attack ageist a character with the Air keyword, modify you attack value by +1 and damage value by +2.

SUP: They may use any Wonder Bit they have one more time to how many times they have brought it. Also they attack value becomes 11 when using the Support power.


Now we have the dials designs for Ebisu and his shadow clone from Naruto as well as Buggy the Clown from One Piece and a duo figure of Yamcha and Pu’ar from Dragon Ball.


Next is Min from the Wolverine anime. Is the loyal assistant to Master Koh. She was killed or badly injured by Vadhaka when she tried reasoning to him. She should have Stealth, Probability Control and the trait “She is Only a Child”.
She is Only a Child – When Min is KOed, all friendly characters gain a +1 to their Attack ageist the character that KOed her.
She should have about three to four clicks of health and starting states of Movement 8, Attack 9, Defence 17, Damage 1 and Range 4 with 1 target. She should not have any TA and the keywords of Madripoor and Teen or Kid (her true age was never reviled).

Next is the Vadhaka from the Wolverine anime. Vadhaka is the statue Guarding of Madripoor. It was not truly reviled if Vadhaka was a mystical golem like creature or a robot. However he did make a comeback after being upgraded by A.I.M., so I would stay it is most likely the latter. He should have the Giant Symbol, Charge, Force Blast, Super Strength, Indomitable, Battle Fury and two specials called “Guardian of Madripoor” and “A.I.M. Upgrades”.
Guardian of Madripoor – Vadhaka can use Impervious. This power cannot be countered.
A.I.M. Upgrades – Vadhaka can use Psychic Blast. He cannot be the target of other character's Incapacitate and Mind Control.
He should have ten or more clicks of health and starting states of Movement 8, Attack 11, Defence 18, Damage 5 and Range 6 with 1 target. He should the Hydra TA and the keywords of A.I.M., Madripoor and Robot.

Next is Zero Saber Girl from CosmicBreak. A girl who loved Zero Saber so much that she travelled to the Union to help in their battle ageist Chaos. Despite being a fangirl, her own abilities are up to par with the actual Zero Saber. Zero Saber Girl is a small size Land Moe. She should have the "LND" trait, Charge and Toughness. She should have about four clicks of health and starting states of Movement 8, Attack 9, Defence 17, Damage 3 and Range 4 with one target. She should have the Unions TA and the keywords Land, Robot, Moe and Unions.

Mecha Jetter Girl from CosmicBreak. A girl who loved Mecha Jetter so much that she travelled to the Union to help in their battle ageist Chaos. Very light weight, her performance in air battles is close to the actual Mecha Jetter. Mecha Jetter Girl is a Small size Air moe. She should have the AIR trait, the Flight ability, Running Shot, Energy Explosion, Toughness and a special called "Jet Tackle.
Jet Tackle: Range attacks from Mecha Jetter Girl always deals knock back.
She should have about four clicks of health and starting states of Move 12, Attack 9, Defence 17, Damage 3 and Range 6 with one target. She should have the Union TA and the keywords Air, Moe, Robot and Union.

Next is Koko Gaap from CosmicBreak. Koko was once a beautiful sorceress, but she became tiny after accidentally summoning the demon robot Gaap, whom she was forcesd to seal within her body. She became Chibi size character. Koko and Gapp are now in a symbiotic relationship, but one time their antics almost destroyed an entire galaxy. They just want their old bodies back. She should have the SUP Trait, Quark, Perplex and Surport. She should have about three or four clicks of health and starting states of Move 10, Attack 8, Defence 18, Damage 1 and Range 6 with one target. She should not have any TA and the keywords Surport, Chibi, Mystical, Robot and Union. Sorry on picture.

Next is Batou from Ghost in the Shell. Batou is a main male character in the Ghost in the Shell series, recruited from the Rangers, the second best melee fighter in Section 9 and is the second in command under Major Motoko Kusanagi. Batou keeps his life away from work mostly unknown. He also gave his favourite Tachikoma an unapproved, non-synthetic oil until the Major caught him. He often uses up his paycheck buying muscle training equipment for the upper body, which others find useless, considering his extensive number of cyborg parts (mainly torso and arms). In the first season of Stand Alone Complex, it is inferred that he uses it to remind himself of who he is, despite his cyberization, much like the watch the Major wears. He served in the military with Motoko and Ishikawa, and has cybernetic eyes that are used by Rangers, improved strength from cybernetic arms, legs, and also contains other unlisted parts. He primarily does field work with Togusa, and takes point for the Major on serious occasions. He should have Running Shot, Charge, Super Strength, Toughness, Range Combat Expert and a special called “Real Oil”.
Real Oil – All friendly characters with the Vehicle keyword that are adjacent to Batou gains Willpower.
He should have about seven or eight clicks of life and the starting states of Movement 6, Attack 11, Defence 16, Damage 3 and Range 8 with one target. He should have the Section 9 TA and the keywords JSDF, Robot, Section 9 and Solder.

Next is Chief Aramaki from Ghost in the Shell. Daisuke Aramaki is the Head of Section 9 and advisor to Prime Minister Yoko Kayabuki. He and two other friends he served with under Colonel Tonouda were known as the Tonouda Three. Aramaki is a strict chief, and is referred to by others in Section 9 as the "old ape". Even so, he is fiercely loyal to the members of Section 9, and often puts his own career on the line to ensure the survival of the rest of his team. In Stand Alone Complex 2nd GIG, Aramaki uses his political connections and no small amount of bargaining with the new prime minister to get Section 9 reinstated. Aramaki, as well as Togusa, are the only fully human members of Section 9 aside from a cyberbrain. The Solid State Society movie reveals that he was estranged from his mentor Colonel Tonoda whom he helped to put in prison (like his character does in the course of the original manga) sometime before the Stand Alone Complex series began. He should have Stealth and a special called “Contacts”.
Contacts – Aramaki can use Probability Control. He does not need to draw ling of fire to use it.
He should have about four clicks of life and the starting states of Movement 6, Attack 8, Defence 16, Damage 1 and Range 0. He should not have any TA and the keywords Politician and Section 9.

Lastly it is Togusa from Ghost in the Shell. Togusa, like Chief Aramaki, is mostly human, having only cybernetic memory upgrades and other small brain implants. To Section 9, Togusa is a reminder to them all of true humanity, because he is the most like a normal person compared to the rest of Section 9. He has a family, and strong moral beliefs that visibly get in his way. He primarily does work with Batou, but also investigates on his own at times. Togusa often plays the role of the idealist in Ghost in the Shell, and could easily be said to be the least likely to win in a fight against anyone else in Section 9. Togusa is the second most prominently featured male character in the Ghost in the Shell manga and anime series. In the Solid State Society movie, he is squad leader of the now expanded Section 9, after the Major's departure and Batou's refusal of the position. It is also stated in Solid State Society that Togusa had finally undergone cyberization, the extent of which, however, is unknown. He should have Running Shot and Perplex. He should have about five clicks of life and the starting states of Movement 6, Attack 9, Defence 17, Damage 2 and Range 6 with one target. He should have both the Section 9 and PD TAs and the keywords Detective, Police and Section 9.

Next time in DreamClix I am planning on doing for ShounenClix, I will be doing Grand Fisher from Bleach and Cabaji from One Piece. Every thing else depeneds on what happen with the sub titling and releasing of the last two episodes of the Wolverine and what happens in them. Until next time, have fun.

Neoscream's Life, the 14th to the 20th of March

Well another week of is now over and done with and it is time to write it up. Last week was another lack of hours at work, but what does is week's post have hold for me.

At 5AM of Monday morning Blaire came on-line. (Sadly writing this on Friday I can not remember much of what happened.) As she logged off, she said she would be on tomorrow with Cudda on a different site, Skin Video and to keep an eye out for details. As we all might know from last week's past I was off work today. Before my mum went off she found that the freezer was leaking. She called for an engeener before she left for work. However they were not able to come until some time between 8AM to 10AM on Wendesday. Luckly before I normally start work. I want back to bed for another two hours as I felt too sleepy to do anything. I posted the next DreamClix Dial Design post and looked at mech creation in more details for Mekton, however I had trouble reading as I kept nodding off. Due to the sleepyness and still no fealing well I ended up not doing much. About 9:30PM I got a phone call from work saying that I starting at 10AM now tomorrow instead of 12PM.

Blaire on Monday
On Tuesday morning I still felt sleepy, however the throat was better. There was no sign of Blaire all night. Before work I manage to post last week's Neoscream's Life post. When I got into work at 10AM, learnt that they had decided to change the shop's opening hours from 10AM-11PM to 8AM-1AM starting today. When I ask how long has the plan to do this had been around managemant said that they had decided to do the change yesterday. Due to problems with our car park the Area Manager placed my on watchout duty. Basicly tring to get people who packed in our car pack that were not going to us to go to us. Well working helped snap the tirdness. I finished work at about 3:30PM. When I got home I did some more cheecking on Mekton and tried to make a Glasgow from Code Geass, but had problems with the try to do the Slash Harkens and I think I have found a way round the Landspinners. Also, on CosmicBreak I got a two slot Cannon Ball as a free gift and I recived a Twitter from Blaire. Kola, her new puppy has distemper and the nearest Vets that can cure it were four hours drive from her home.

Blesser
On Wednesday morning the engineer come to cheeck the freezer and said that it needed to be defrozted first, however is was working. I worked from 11AM to 3PM, meanly looking after the car pack with a cold. When I get home I notice that the website WatchCartoonOnline had the dubs for Mobile Suit Gundam including the new episode so I started rewatching it in English. On CosmicBreak I got a two slot Ettion as a free gift. Before I went to bed I did a MS War post on my MS Wars blog.

On Thursday I worked from 9AM to 1:30PM. While at work I found they close the openning hour again. We now open at 9AM. What ever. When I got home and cheecked about CosmicBreak updates, I found that due to the problems in Japain there were no updates. After Heroclix I manage to write it up before going to bed.

On Friday moprning I posted the Heroclix post before heading to work. I worked from 11AM to 2PM. Due to my cold get wrost I decided to not go to the Gym. Apart from watch a ton of anime, I did not do much. However I have notice that a company called Fansproject are giving away a target master gun called Blesser free to people who donate $15 or more to the Red Cross for the crisis in Japain. Now I have been planning of donating about £10, so this is more reason to. However I have to wait until next neek. I also gotten around to ask my mum what was Distemper as I did not know what poor Kola, Blaire's new puppy, had and I found it was bad, or at least it use to be.

Blaire on Saturday
On Saturday morning at about 4:30AM Blaire come on-line. Kola is recovering nicely and Blaire had some fun with Cudda again. At coffee today were Richard and Darren H. We talked about meeting up on Sunday to help Richard with digging up his garden. After coffee I started work at 12PM and finish at 1PM as there were too many staff. Other than watching some anime I ended up not doing much.I did recive a text from Darren S saying that there will be no Heroclix next week. However the event that was meant to happen next week will happen the week after now. Because of this next week Heroclix post will be a DreamClix and News only post with two or three extra dial desgins.

Blaire was on again on Sunday early morning. She was a lacy night gaund. The group show she was in before she left, was very short as she was tired. Sunday, as normal was my day off work. At about 11:30AM, Darren H pick me up and we went to Richard's to him him dig up a part of his garden. The amount to HUGE roots we had to pull out was a nightmare. I manage to think of a possable way to fix the Slash Hakens problem with help from a e-mail from Nathan. He said try looking at making it a weapon. So I made a wipe like melee weapon with the Returning ability so in can be use at range but does return, and the entangling ability so it can attact to thing. OK, I will most likely need to do some GMing fudgies to get it to work. Before going to bed I posted the week's Watch Listen and Read post. Sadly I did not get the chance to post Sunday's DreamClix Dial Design post or the Cosplay Deviants' set from the weekend, but hopefully I can get them done tomorrow. (Which I did.)

Well that is another week over and done with. Here is a list of up and coming blog post and the planned (not set) dates for them:

Thursday 24th March: Cosmic Break News Update.
Friday 25th March: Heroclix.
Saturday 26th March: MS Wars Update
Sunday 27th March: Watch, Listen and Read and DreamClix Dial Designs part 8.
Tuesday 29th March: Neoscream's Life and DreamClix Dials List part 9 (Maybe).
Unknown: Cosplay Devients.

Until next time, have fun.

Cosplay Deviants: Jsica - Runaway Princess

OMG. I just realised I missed a Jsica set on Cosplay Deviants from about three months ago. I am kicking myself for that. In the set she cosplays as Princess Garnet from Final Fantasy IX. Yes Jaica is a BIG Final Fantasy fangirl. I would say this set is the most reviling of all three sets of hers that are out at the moment and makes my wanting to see her up and coming sets.

The are several great pictures up on her Facebook page that show of the Rei plug costume she did for some events and images of the Squall Leonhart costume she has done a set of. Her Facebook profile is Jay Sica. Until next time, have fun.

Cosplay Deviants: Kandie - Four Leaves

Hi all, last Saturday's set from Cosplay Deviants was of the Deviant Kandie. She was cosplying as Yotsuba Koiwai from Yotsuba&!. I have never read or heard about the manga before the set, so I have no idea of what it is about or who the character is apart from being a little kid. This is my favourite Kandie set so far and I can not wait to see her Makinami Mari Illustrious from Rebuilding of Evangelion as from the previews I have seen from events she is perfect for the character. Until next time, have fun. (yes I did have the wrong name but I have fixed it now)

DreamClix Dial Designs part 7

Heroclix 17th of March, Four Per Side Ass Kicking

Welcome to another Heroclix post. First off, a bit of site news, there will be no CosmicBreak update post this week as there were none due to the problems in Japan. Well back to Heroclix. This week we are doing 400 points, only four figures. No more, no less. I had been iffing and umming all week on what to do. I decided to look for a figure from Secrete Invasion that I have not or rarely used. I ended up picking Punisher. Looking at his keywords I went for Marvel Knights and ended up with this team.

Punisher (Secrete Invasion) 83
Cloak and Dagger (Secrete Invasion) 109 + Double Time 5 = 114
Power Man and Iron Fist (Secrete Invasion) 136 + Protected 8 = 144
Shang-Chi (Avengers) 58
=399 points and two re-rolls

They might be good, they might be crap. Let us see which they are. As Michael never came this week, it was only three rounds. On the first round I was ageist Adrian's Teen Titens team who were:

Captain Marvel, Jr. (Crisis) 157
Nightwing (Crisis) 79
Robin (Crisis) 79
Liberty Belle (Crisis) 84
=396 point and two re-rolls.

My dice rolls were awlsome and I creamed Adrain's team. Where I say alwsome dice rolls I mean tons of double 5s and other high roll. Well is the second round I was up ageist Darren with his Cosmic team who were:

Ultron (Hammer of Thor) 174
Gamora (Secret Invasion) 73
Phoenix (Ultimates) 86
Moondragon (Clobberin Time) 71
=404 points and two re-rolls.

He wiped the floor with my team using Ultron. Ultron is a very nasty figure with his 12 attack and 4 damage. On the last round I was up ageist Adam's non themed team who were:

Superman (Crisis) 238
Jason Blood (Brave and the Bold) 44
Question (Rook Origin) 40
Cosmic Boy (Legion of Super Heroes) 70
=392 points and no re-rolls.

Superman wipe the floor with my witha little hand from Cosmic Boy. Sorry 12 attack and 5 damage with Super Stength, far too much to handle. Over all my team was crape. As we had time as the games went quite fast, we repeated the first two round but we swooped teams. The first game was close but I manage to win it and the second I won with easy, however ever I was rolling high again.

Next week we will be 600 points Mojo game. I will post the rules for it when I can.

Just after last week's post and durring the weekend there were previews for Giant Size X-Men were of Blob, the Jamies Madrox brick figure, and the Crimson Gem of Cyttorak special object. Blob is intreasting, Jamies very colourful and the gam is quite nice. However, HCRealms posted the whole set in its Units section. Domino is great, she does what her old REV did and is powered up to today's Heroclix standard. The Wolverine is a lot like the Web of Spider-Man but has the Avengers TA and keyword on top of the X-Men ones. The mystary colousal figure was a Frost Giant, who is a Thor character than an X-Men character. On other Heroclix news, there is a lot of information of the set coming up this year and the start of next year.

First off is the Green Lantern set. The Fast Forces set is confirmed for a May 15th release and will be selling at $15.99. On top of the six figures, it will include a double sided map and dice but no rule book. Sadly there is no news on the single boosters.

There is also a Thor Fast Forces pack to go with the Thor movie. However there is no news about the set other than that.

For the Captain America Movie, there will be two releases. First is, the Gravity Feed. This will be the single booster set and will be release on June the 15th at $2.99 per booster. There will also be a main set being released on June the 29th. Currently there will be 63 figures in set, including ones with removable components.

Street Fighter is currently scheduled for an August release, but that could well change depending on Capcom's wishes. There are 33 figures in the set, representing 24 characters. These will be sold in 1 figure boosters; however the set is collated so that if you buy a 12 booster brick of them, there are no dupes. And if you buy a case, the dupes should be kept to a minimum. These will be rules to allow one on one fighting game like gameplay, however they still will be useable in Heroclix.

With Lord of the Rings, it will be released in a couple different formats. It will be compatible with Heroclix, but like Street Fighter, it will also have its own unique rules to run a rings-like, simulation skirmish. There will be a deluxe set, similar to Watchmen set, called the Campaign Box. It will have a similar price point. For those who want the figures but cannot do it all at once, there will be a starter and some single figure booster packs as well. They all should be out sometime this year.

Superman is the next main DC set which will be coming out in fall of 2011. Currently set will be 54 figures large.

Halo clix will now be making a return. However it will now be compatible with Heroclix. It will be release in summer time. There with be 40 figures and will be available is standard boosters and single figure boosters. Like with Street Fighter and Lord of the Rings there will be optional unique rules. Current there are no plans for vehicles. There will also be a 10 figure, single booster set for Gears of War 3 too, however there are no dates for it yet.

Currently by the look of things for the first half of 2012, there will be three Marvel set. These will be Hulk, Infinity Gauntlet and The Mighty Avengers. Each will be about half the size of the past standard sets. Wizkids are still in talks with DC about doing some new stuff for next year. However they would like to do a big figure set like with the Super Boosters for Giant Size X-Men for DC.

Lastly a new rule has been given to the Colossal symbol: “When this character has two action tokens, it can be given a non-free action. After the action resolves, deal it 1 unavoidable damage and do not remove action tokens from it at the end of the turn.” This is similar to a special rule that was give to most Colossal figure that was not part to the standard colossal rules. However the special use to be pushing damage than unavoidable damage that it is now.

This week's DreamClix I am doing for ShounenClix the dial designs for the third Hokage from Naruto and Oolong from Dragon Ball. There will be no MAClix this week but for MechaClix I am design ideas for the un-named IS from episode 3 and 4, Yamada Maya, generic Japanese IS and Houki Shinonono in generic Japanese IS from IS: Infinite Stratos and Zero, Glasgow and Kallen's Glasgow from Code Geass.

First off we have the dials for the third Hokage from Naruto and Oolong from Dragon Ball.


Scenario Card – Collect the Dragon Balls: Before the game starts, randomly place seven Dragon Ball tokens on the battle field. The tokens must not be placed within five square of the starting zone. At the end of the game players gain 10 victory points for each Dragon Ball they are carrying or for each in your deployment zone. If one player has all seven, they gain 100 victory points instead.
Dragon Balls: Give a character standing on the same as a Dragon Ball a Power Action. The character picks up the token. If a character carrying a Dragon Ball is dealt three or more damage or is KO, they drop the token on the square they are standing on. A character may drop the token as a free action if they do not have any action tokens on them.

Feat - Explosive Tag Kunia: If the character with this feat has no action counters on them, they can use Energy Explosion. Cost ?.

Next is the un-named IS from episode 3 and 4 of IS: Infinite Stratos. I will call this Unknown IS. It was quite powerful compared to the ISs so far. It should have a special called Dust Cloud, Psychic Blast, Indomitable, Invulnerability, Toughness and Range Combat Expert.
Dust Cloud: Unknown IS can use Smoke Cloud and Energy Shield Deflection. It can use Smoke Cloud normally or as a free action but has to start the smoke cloud from the square it is standing on.
It should have about eight clicks of health and the starting states of Movement 10, Attack 10, Defence 17, Damage 4 and Range 8 with one target. It should have no TAs and the keyword Robot.

Next we have the teacher Yamada Maya from IS: Infinite Stratos. Maya is the other instructor in charge of Ichika's class. She used to be an IS Japanese representative cadet. She should have the Flight ability, Running Shot, Toughness and Range Combat Expert. She should have six clicks ogf health and the starting states of Movement 8, Attack 10, Defence 17, Damage 2 and Range 10 with two targets. She should have the IS TA and the keywords Armour and IS Academy.

Next is the generic Japanese IS from IS: Infinite Stratos. They should have Leap Climb, Blades, Toughness and a special that give them Perplex but can only use it on themselves. They should have four clicks of health and the starting states of Movement 6, Attack 8, Defence 16, Damage 2 and Range 0. They should have the IS TA and the keywords Armour, IS Academy and Teen.

Next is Houki Shinonono in generic Japanese IS from IS: Infinite Stratos. Houki is a first year student at the IS academy and has been friends with Ichika since they were kids though they have not seen each other for six years. She has a very long ponytail. Her place of resident is home to a kendo dojo and she has been interested in kendo since she was young. Houki even competes in kendo competitions at a national level and was the winner of the national tournament that was hosted one year before the story of Infinite Stratos began. She is part of the kendo club at the IS academy. Houki harbors feelings for Ichika. She later pilots the custom IS called the Aka Tsubaki, however that will be another figure all together. She should have Charge, Leap Climb, Blades and Toughness.  She should have five clicks of health and the starting states of Movement 6, Attack 10, Defence 16, Damage 2 and Range 0. She should have the IS TA and the keywords Armour, IS Academy and Teen.

Next is Zero from Code Geass. Lelouch is a student of Ashford Academy high school and a member of its student council. A brilliant thinker who is quite talented at chess, he lives with his younger sister, Nunnally, with their maid, Sayoko Shinozaki, at a house situated within the compounds of Ashford Academy, where they are looked after by the Ashford family. Lelouch is soon swept into the conflict between the Britannia Empire and the pockets of resistance which oppose it when he accidentally boards a truck being used by Japanese resistance operatives. Within the truck is a capsule holding C.C., who sacrifices herself to save him from the military forces trying to recapture her. When it seems as if her sacrifice was pointless, C.C. suddenly touches his hand and offers him the "Power of the King", the mythical power of Geass. The Geass manifests itself in him as the power of absolute obedience, which allows him to make people obey his orders without question. With his new power, Lelouch begins his rebellion against the Empire, forming the Order of the Black Knights and takes up the identity of Zero to lead them, becoming a revolutionary and gaining popular support amongst the people. Lelouch's Geass, given to him by C.C., grants him "the power of absolute obedience," allowing him to plant commands within a person's mind upon eye contact which they will obey without question. Activation of his Geass is visually represented by the manifestation of a Geass sigil in his left eye. Commands dictated in this state are written into the minds of the designated targets once the sigil projects from his eye to theirs. Lelouch could initially toggle Geass activation at will, but subsequently loses this control to an affliction known as Geass runaway. I will be doing the standard Lelouch at a later date, but this is him as Zero the Leader of the Black Knights. He should have a Mind Control, Mastermind, Leadership, Outwit and Probability Control. He should have four clicks of health and the starting states of Movement 6, Attack 12, Defence 16, Damage 1 and Range 6 with three targets. He should have the Black Knights TA and the keywords Black Knights, Ruler and Teen.

Next is the Knightmare Frame Glasgow from Code Geass. The Glasgow is a fourth-generation Knightmare Frame and the first mass-production model produced by the Holy Britannian Empire. It actively contributed to the invasion of Japan, providing an overwhelming tactical advantage over conventional combat vehicles. The Glasgow's armament includes Slash Harkens, Tonfas, and a handheld assault rifle or a stun gun. Its hull still serves as a template for its successors, but the model itself is phased out in favour of the RPI-13 Sutherland by the start of the series. The Britannian police force operates a modified variant called the Knight Police, apparently RPI stands for Royal Panzer Infantry.
Various Japanese resistance cells use modified Glasgow models called Burais. They also make use of a cannon built from four such units called a Raikou. They should have the Giant symbol, a trait called “Knightmare Frame”, Running Shot, Incapacitate, Invulnerability and Toughness.
Knightmare Frame: Glasgow can use Leap Climb and Energy Shield Deflection.
They should have six clicks of health and the starting states of Movement 10, Attack 9, Defence 16, Damage 3 and Range 8. They should have not TA and the keywords Robot, Knightmare, Britannian and Japanese Resistance.

Lastly we have Kallen's Glasgow from Code Geass. Kallen Kozuki, the ace of the Black Knights, used a customized red Glasgow in the beginning of the series, which is destroyed in battle against the Lancelot during the latter's first combat deployment, which is replaced by another modified red Glasgow in the episode Refrain. It should have the Giant symbol, a trait called “Knightmare Frame”, Running Shot, Charge Incapacitate, Invulnerability and Toughness.
Knightmare Frame: Kallen’s Glasgow can use Leap Climb and Energy Shield Deflection.
It should have six clicks of health and the starting states of Movement 10, Attack 10, Defence 17, Damage 3 and Range 8. It should have the Black Knights TA and the keywords Robot, Knightmare and Black Knights.

Oh and the Black Knights AT is the same as the Superman Emernies.

Next time in DreamClix I am planning on doing for ShounenClix, I will be doing Ebisu, his shadow clone from Naruto and maybe Buggy the Clown from One Piece. For MechaClix I am planning on doing two specials which will most likely be CosmicBreak and Ghost in the Shell. Until next time, have fun.
