Tales Of The Abyss Opening

Why oh why do this song keeps play in my head after reading this Interview.



I would have preferred to use the anime's animation as sadly I never played the game, but have watched the anime. It is still the same song anyway.

Neoscream's Life for the week of the 22nd to the 28th of October

Apsalus III

Welcome to another week of my life. For those new to the blog, the "Neoscream's Life" posts are basically a weekly dairy of mine.

At work this week, I was not there. LOL. I original booked it off for London EXPO, but I decided not to go due to the costs. Sorry, £25 travel and £16 entry before spending money on DVDs, Manga books, Pocky and launch, is a bit too much with the money I am spending of miniatures and saving for A+ Certification course and exam.

First off DreadBall. I decided to add three more team box sets to my KickStarter order. These were the Female Corps team, an extra Robot team and a season one team for a Christmas gift for a friend (Please note, as of the 29th of October you cannot add any more to it). Still no PDF rules yet, but I bet they will be sent when the surveys or over. If you checked my Tweeter during the week or seen Sunday's DreamClix 7 post you will see that I have finished converting and painting my DreadBall coach based on AJ Lee from WWE.

Robodoc from the Judge Dredd Miniatures Game 

During the week my Judge Dredd Block Wars KickStarter stuff arrived in the post. Sadly the left hand side parts of the Robodoc were missing. I have e-mailed them and they said the will send me another one.

Saturday was the Grand Opening of Wargames Workshop MK, Wargames Workshops second store. The store was smaller than I thought, but what they do not have they can order in for you for no extra change. They are planning on having a DreadBall tournament that will be ran by Guardians of Tyr, but sadly this will be on Saturdays. However they might only do it something like once or twice a month, so I might be able to get the time off work. I picked up a couple of figures from 7TV teams from the Warmachine range, a paint, some decorative bases, a card folder for HeroClix cards and Super Munchkin (a Super Heroes version of Munchkin).

Parts of the week I have been tidying and rearranging my bed room. I trying to get is so that I can store my 7TV stuff, my painting and modelling stuff, my DVDs and Computer Games and my DreadBall Stuff (when it arrives) in my room. I am still working on it and I will try to post pictures in a future Neoscream's Life post when I have finished it. Maybe if I got off my butt and ordered the boxes sooner I would have had it done by now.

On Saturday after the Grand Opening of Wargames Workshop, I meet up with Darren and Richard so we could slap on some Zombie face paint for the Stony Stratford Halloween Zombie pub crawl. I was a good night and we meet up with some other mates like Colette there. All of us were Zombie, apart from Hopper who decided to go as Shaun of the Dead. If we do it next year I might go as a Zombie version of Kakashi from Naruto.

There was no 7TV game this week due to a busy weekend, however from next week Nathan will be free on Sundays again so we should hopefully get back on track. Should be two more games of 7TV and then it is Richard's turn for running a game.

Now for the whole AJ Lee losing her job as Raw General Manager due to the *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* piece of *BEEP* *BEEP* work Vickie Guerrero. Below is a video that will hopefully explains what is happening. All of Tuesday I was feeling super down and all I could do was paint my 7TV team. OK I know it's all fake, but they never made it clear if AJ still had a job in the WWE. Knowing how much April Jeanette Mendez (AJ Lee's real name) loved being apart of the WWE, I was worried how down she must be as this would have be last moment thing. Until Sunday there was no word from her or her wrestling career. First the were dates posted of UK Autograph Signings for the Raw European Tour and second AJ stated on Twitter that she will be on Raw on Monday the 29th of October to see Vickie's so called evidence she has stated she will reveal (remember this post is of the week of the 22nd to the 28th of October), so it is safe to say that she still has a job with the WWE.

Squeaks in "Flower Maiden"

Jsica in "Sending"

Lastly this last week's Cosplay Deviants sets. On Wednesday there was a new set from a new deviant called Squeaks. The set is called Flower Maiden and in it she cosplays as Cheza from Wolf's Rain. The set on Saturday was a new set from the fantastic deviant Jsica. The set is called Sending and in it she cosplayed as Yuna from Final Fantasy X for the fourth time. Yet another wonderful set and a perfect setting for it. Sadly this is her last set (if memory servers me right). She will be missed big times, but it is understandable why she is leaving.

Well that is it for now. Until next time, Mecha Up.

DreamClix 7, Naruto vs AJ Lee

Welcome to the all new DreamClix 7. This is where I post ideas and rough dial designs of HeroClix figure based on random Manga, TV Shows and computer games. Also there is a  my 7TV team update (now once a week and tagged onto this post) and some times I do some house rules and self made Special Effects, Extras and Guest Stars. Oh and update news of changes to the DreamClix Dials Page. Sorry about this being a day late I had problems with work, my mum and computer games.

Starting this week I will be doing show specials for the ideas section. Three out of the five idea will be show linked. This week will be Naruto and next week will be One Piece. This week DreamClix ideas are a Dosu Kinuta, Ibiki Morino and Orochimaru from Naruto; and both modes of the XXXG-01W Wing Gundam from Mobile Suit Gundam Wing.

First off is Dosu Kinuta from Naruto. Dosu Kinuta was the unofficial leader of Team Dosu, although their team was officially led by Orochimaru, who at the time was disguised as a regular Otogakure ninja. He should have Leadership, Exploit Weakness, Toughness and special called "Ear Ache".
Ear Ache: At the beginning of your opponent's turn all characters that took damage from Dosu Kinuta during your turn receive one click of unavoidable damage.
He should have about six clicks of health and starting combat values of Speed 7, Attack 9, Defence 17, Damage 2 and Range 4 with one target. He should have the Ninja team ability and the Sound Village keyword.

Next is Ibiki Morino from Naruto. Ibiki Morino is a special jōnin of the Leaf Village and the commanding officer of the Konoha Torture and Interrogation Force. He was in charge of the written exam during the Chūnin Exams. He should have Stealth, Psychic Blast, Sharpe Shooter, Outwit, Perplex and Toughness. I could give him more, but that will be left from future version. He should have about seven clicks of health and starting combat values of Speed 7, Attack 10, Defence 18, Damage 3 and Range 4 with one target. He should have the Ninja team ability and the keywords Leaf Village and Konoha Torture and Interrogation Force.

Next is Orochimaru from Naruto. Orochimaru is a major antagonist of the Naruto series during Part I and a secondary antagonist during Part II. Recognised as one of the most powerful ninja Konohagakure ever produced and one of the "Three Legendary Shinobi", he operated as an ANBU shinobi within the Root faction prior to his defection from the village in pursuit of his own self-serving ambitions. Initially sealed away during the battle between Sasuke and Itachi Uchiha by the latter, he was later revived by the former using his own genetic material that was within his subordinate Kabuto Yakushi and the portion of consciousness he left within Anko Mitarashi's Cursed Seal of Heaven. There will be several versions of Orochimaru is him impersonating the Grass Village ninja Shiore. He should have Plasticity, Charge, Phasing, Mind Control, a special Incapacitate with three targets, Shape Change, Super Senses and Indomitable. He should have about seven clicks of health and starting combat values of Speed 10, Attack 11, Defence 19, Damage 3 and Range 4 with one target. He should have the Ninja team ability and the keywords Sound Village, Grass Village and Spy. The next Naruto idea should be a Giant Snake.

Next is the XXXG-01W Wing Gundam from Mobile Suit Gundam Wing. The Wing Gundam is the Gundam designed by Doctor J, it is the closest of the five Operation Meteor Gundams to their common ancestor, Wing Zero. It boasts incredible speed, and can transform into Bird Mode, a high-speed flight form. For the Wing to transform, the buster rifle and shield detach from the Gundam's back. The legs unfold from their flight position with the feet pointing forward. The talons fold back onto the forearms, allowing the hands to emerge and grab the weapons. The waist and head then rotate simultaneously, revealing Wing's completed form.Though most of its weapons are relatively standard, its buster rifle is an exceptionally powerful beam rifle, capable of taking out a large group of mobile suits or a battleship in a single shot. Though it can adjust its output, the buster rifle can only fire three times at maximum output before needing to recharge. In every respect, the Wing is a scaled down version of the Wing Zero, this was done possibly to reduce to strain placed on the pilot by the Zero System and the superior capabilities of the Wing Zero. The weapons are also considerably less powerful than those found on the Wing Zero. Unlike its ancestor, the Wing was designed to be "strong", but not "overpowering" like the Wing Zero. The wings on the Wing are the reason behind its speed. First off lets look the robot version of Wing Gundam. It should have Improved Movement (Ignore Elevated Terrain), Charge, Range Combat Expert, Invulnerability, Toughness, Indomitable, Blades and the special Transform(Wing Gundam). It should have about nine clicks of health and starting combat values of Speed 10, Attack 11, Defence 18, Damage 3 and Range 8 with one target. It should have the Mobile Suit team ability and the keywords Gundam, Colonies and OZ. Now lets look at the Bird mode of Wing Gundam. In this form it should have the flight symbol, Running Shot, Toughness, Energy Shield Deflection, Indomitable and Transform(Wing Gundam). It should have about nine clicks of health and starting combat values of Speed 14, Attack 10, Defence 18, Damage 3 and Range 8 with one target. It should have the Mobile Suit team ability and the keywords Gundam, Colonies, OZ and Vehicle. The next Mobile Suit Gundam Wing idea should be the Wing's main pilot Heero Yuy. Only and the Transform ability is basicly a different name for the Morph ability.

Now for this week's Dial Designs which are Ghost, Witch and the Zombied feat card for Halloween; Witch generic from Soul Eater; and a cosplay card for the deviant Paige.

Now for the DreamClix Dial Design Page updates. This week I added (or will be adding after this post) the Tekken team ability, three missing Other section dials, the Vocaloid team ability, a support card for Code Geass, fixing one error Battle Angel Alita dial, fixing one Bleach dial, a missing CosmicBreak dials, the CosmicBreak map and all the new designs from this post.

Current figures that are being used

Now for this week's 7TV Teams. This week is new team, currently called the Cyber Tech Cult. The team name will most likely change in the future due to recent changes to the team. I wanted a team that I could use my old Necromunda Pit Fighters in. Then the idea of a cult of cyborgs lead by a Insidious Industrialist came to mind I was originally going to use the old version of Colonial 'Iron Hand' Straken (from Game Workshop's Warhammer 40,000) I have as a temporary Insidious Industrialist until I upgrade the team to have a Co-Star were I would get a better figure to use as the Insidious Industrialist and then use Straken as a Co-Star. However when I was painting the Cultist leader (well the figure that will be promoted to Cultist leader were I have the points) I was also working on my DreadBall Coach based on AJ from WWE, I noticed that the beard on the Cultist Leader looked a lot like Daniel Bryan's. After a lot of thinking, as I have AJ on mind due to her losing GM of Raw job, I decided to use the AJ figure as the Insidious Industrialist. With this change, I decided that the Metalnaut I was planning on using will need to be replace with something more Kane like. I manage to get a figure to convert at the Grand Opening of Wargames Workshop MK, but there is not time to convert and paint it in time, so the original is filling in for now. This originally will make a comeback in the future as it was the bases of the cultists colours (future cultists will have a different shade of green that was brought at the Grand Opening of Wargames Workshop MK). The future plans for Straken will now most likely be just a generic cultist with a Shotgun. Currently their is no storyline for this team due to the last moment changes to the team.

MK HeroClix, the 25th of October, After War

Welcome to the new style MK HeroClix post. I have decided to split the DreamClix section away from the MK HeroClix post. The new DreamClix post will be replacing the Cosmic Cosplay post. On weeks when was HeroClix does not happen the MK HeroClix post will be just a HeroClix news post and I might throw is a DreamClix idea to as a post filler.

First off the HeroClix news for this week. This week there were previews of Harley Quinn, The Bug and Stephanie Brown as Batgirl from DC Batman; Bruce Wayne from DC Batman Gravity Feed; and Black Canary from DC Streets of Gotham.

This week was there was no HeroClix as there was no Darren. Next week well ever be the 1,200 points game or something different. Also On the 17th and 18th of November will be the UK HeroClix Reunion, below are the the events for the weekend from the Yahoo Group (now/will be in the links section):

Saturday 17th November.

----------------------- 

The Thanos Quest 

---------------- 

In a bid to impress Death and take his place as her equal, the mad titan THANOS, plans to set about acquiring the INFINITY GEMS from their respective holders - the ELDERS OF THE UNIVERSE. Once in his possession, he will wear the gems in the INFINITY GAUNTLET thereby completing his quest for ultimate power. 

Groups of Heroes have banded together to retrieve the stones and deliver them to cosmic guardian ADAM WARLOCK for safekeeping. 

The Villains however, are working directly for Thanos who offers generous reward for their assistance. Some enterprising villains might even fancy the gems for themselves... 

Plot 

The heroes and villains must scout the city and find clues as to how to retrieve the gems. This will ultimately lead them to different worlds and dimensions as they travel to find the Elders of the Universe and collect their Infinity Gems. Along the way they will stumble across other characters that are willing to help or hinder them through the RECRUIT mechanic. These characters may join your force as you play through the game and act as a member of your force, sharing team abilities and so on. You will find that there are many other plots, events, and complications to deal with along the way. After all, it's never a quiet day in the Marvel Universe. 

Rules 

Players will choose two teams – one hero and one villain - from the list of teams specifically designed for this event. If you select a team that another player would like to play then a roll-off will select the winner and the other player must select a different choice. When you select a team; 

*YOU MUST PUT THESE TEAMS TOGETHER YOURSELF TO PLAY ON THE DAY*   

Borrow, trade, or buy figures as necessary! You are choosing two teams in order that we have a balanced event on the day, and you could be asked to play either team so that we have an equal number of hero and villain teams taking part. The list of teams will shortly be posted in the files section on an Excel sheet. Let me know if you have difficulty with this and I will get the information to you in a different format.

  

Sunday 18th November. 

--------------------- 

Constructed 500pts Golden Age Tournament 

---------------------------------------- 

You are required to put together a 500pt team, all DC or all Marvel figures, that share a NON-GENERIC keyword. There will be prizes for First and Second place, Fellowship, and for the favourite team design as voted by your fellow players. A great variety of maps will be available to play on but feel free to bring your own if you have a particular preference or strategy.

Cost 

---- 

The cost to play each day will be £5 per player. The entirety of this money is funding prize support for the two days. As before, there is no venue charge and no parking costs. Prizes will be announced at a later date, but I am trying to set up a few special bits and pieces for the two days and would like to make sure that everybody leaves with something. 

-- Jules

I am going for the Avenger Issue 5 team for my heroes as it has Iron Man in it and Sinister Six as I have the figures. I will have to note that I well not be doing a DreamClix 7 post that weekend, but on ever Sunday night or Monday I well do a special MK HeroClix post (most likely called UK HeroClix Reunion 2012) that well cover my game on both days of the event and I will try to get the others (Darren, Michael and Adrian) results as well.

Now for the filler idea which it is a RMS-006 Jenice from After War Gundam X. The RMS-006 Jenice is a general purpose mass produced mobile suit, developed by the Space Revolutionary Army sometime before the end of the 7th Space War. It is armed with a pair of fire linked machine cannons, as well as a pair of vulcan guns in its chest. Because the Jenice is the main mobile suit of the Space Revolutionary Army, it is equally adapt at preforming in space as well as on Earth. This allowed for a great flexibility in the mobile suit and its missions. In order to carry out its missions, the Jenice is usually armed with a drum fed 100mm machine gun. This is supplemented with either a Heat Hawk or a Heat Saber for close combat. A number of Jenice mobile suits survived the end of the 7th Space War and found their way in to the hands of various people. A number of the mobile suits were claimed by Vultures, and their pilots customized them to their own tastes. Some of the mobile suits found their way into the hands of the Satelicon group, and helped to round out their compliment of mobile suits. Basically it should be another Zaku or Genoace in combat abilities and special abilities. The next After War Gundam X idea should be DT-6800A Daughtress.

Until next time, Mecha Up.

Iron Man 3 Trailer

WOW

Neoscream's Life for the week of the 15th to the 21st of October

MS-06V Zaku Tank

Welcome to another week of my life. For those new to the blog, the "Neoscream's Life" posts are basically a weekly dairy of mine and also news on the latest Cosplay Deviants sets.

It was Marisa’s last week at work and we also learnt that another member of staff has left too. There was also no new staff on front ever, so this week will be chaos for them as I am off work for the week. I ended up doing just under 32 hours of work this week.

My Judge Dredd stuff has still turned up and still no DreadBall PDF rules, however my Left Hand Miniatures order had arrived on Saturday. I have converted one of the figures as my DreadBall coach that will be based on WWE Raw General Manager (sadly now former GM) AJ Lee. (All converted and painted and has a place in a 7TV Team now. If you want to see the finished painted version, check out my Twitter account or wait until next Sunday). Also while waiting for the others to turn up for HeroClix on Thursday, a person I recognised from Campaign came up to my table handing out flyers. The gaming store he works for is opening up its second physical store. The new store will be in Kingston, Milton Keynes. They will be supporting DreadBall, but most likely will not be supporting HeroClix. There will be a grand-opening on the 27^th (but has now opened). They will be have game nights on Mondays (Wargames), Tuesdays (Magic) and Fridays (Boardgames and Magic). So DreadBall will be most likely be run on Fridays. Just need to find a way back home on Fridays.

DreadBall Coach AJ Lee (undercoated)

There was no 7TV game last week as Richard could not do Saturday and Nathan could not do Sunday. There will be no game this week too due to Halloween. However, me, Richard and Pete did meet up on Sunday and played a couple of games of Munchkin. It was a great card game that I might pick up some of the Sci-Fi and/or Hong Kong box sets. However I later learnt that we were playing the old rules (per 2010 update).

I would like to talk about what happened of Monday Night RAW is week, but sadly this post is to do with last week and not this week. So I have to save it until next week’s post, if I remember to talk about it. All I will say I have been feeling upset all day and if I had the money I would hire a Hit Man (or Woman) to kill that bitch Vickie Guerrero for costing A.J.’s her job.

Now for the Watch, Listen and Read section:

Monday

Watched: Episode 8 of season nine of New Tricks.

Tuesday

Watched: Episode 91 of the Gadget Show Web TV and episode 1012 of WWE Raw.

Wednesday

Listened: Episode 337 of Anime Pulse.

Thursday

WLR: Nothing.

Friday

WLR: Nothing.

Saturday

Watched: Episode 687 of WWE Smackdown.

Sunday

Watched: Episode 10 of season two of Iron Man Armoured Adventures, Prometheus and Battleship.

Lastly this last week's Cosplay Deviants sets. On Wednesday there was a new set from a new deviant called Lady Toxica. The set is called Mad and in it she cosplays as a female version of the Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland. The set on Saturday was a new set from the deviants Annasthesia. The set is called Ultraviolence and in it she cosplays as a character from Clockwork Orange.

Well that is it for now. Until next time, Mecha Up.

DreamClix 7, Evangelion ReClixed

Welcome to the all new DreamClix 7. This is where I post ideas and rough dial designs of HeroClix figure based on random Manga, TV Shows and computer games. Also there is a  my 7TV team update, 7TV house rules and in the future DreadBall stuff. Oh and update news of changes to the DreamClix Dials Page. Sorry about this being a day late again, just never got round to painting Diethard.

This week DreamClix ideas are a Witch for Halloween witch also might become a generic witch for Soul Eater; Eva Unit 01 and the Eva keyword from Evangelion; and the Magella Attack Tank with its flying Turret from the original Mobile Suit Gundam.

First is a Witch for Halloween. This will also become a generic Witch for Soul Eater later too. A witch is a practitioner of witchcraft. Witchcraft, in historical, anthropological, religious, and mythological contexts, is the use of alleged supernatural or magical powers or spells. It was widely believed in early modern Christian Europe that witches were in league with the Devil and used their powers to harm people and property. The concept of witchcraft as harmful is normally treated as a cultural ideology, a means of explaining human misfortune by blaming it either on a supernatural entity or a known person in the community. Since the mid-20th century "bad" and "good" witchcraft are increasingly distinguished, the latter often involving healing. Beliefs in witchcraft, and resulting witch-hunts, existed in many cultures worldwide and still exist in some today, mostly in Sub-Saharan Africa (e.g. the witch smellers in Bantu culture). Historically these beliefs were notable in Early Modern Europe of the 14th to 18th century, where witchcraft came to be seen as a vast diabolical conspiracy against Christianity and accusations of witchcraft led to large-scale witch-hunts, especially in Germanic Europe. The "witch-cult hypothesis", a controversial theory that European witchcraft was a suppressed pagan religion, was popular in the 19th and 20th centuries. Since the mid-20th century Witchcraft has become the designation of a branch of neopaganism, specifically those Wicca traditions following Gerald Gardner, who claimed a religious tradition of Witchcraft with pre-Christian roots. They should have the flight symbol, Earthbound, Probability Control, Shape Change, Stealth and a trait called "Witch's Magic".
Witch's Magic: Once during each of your turns, you may give Witch a free action and choose a standard power you did not choose during your last turn. Witch can use that power until the beginning of you next turn.
They should have about five clicks of health and starting combat values of Speed 11, Attack 9, Defence 18, Damage 1 and Range 8 with two targets. They should have the Mystics keyword and the keywords Mystical and Witches.

Next is Eva Unit 01 from Evangelion. Unit 01 was created in the Third Annex of Gehirn's Artificial Evolution Laboratory in Hakone and is piloted by Shinji Ikari (with the Dummy Plug system as the backup pilot). Unit 01's armour is primarily purple; some components are colored neon green, light blue, orange, and black. The humanoid entity beneath the armour has light brown skin, two emerald-green eyes, four small nostrils positioned, and red blood. It has the best battle record of all the Evangelions. It frequently acts independently, without the instructions of a pilot and without any apparent power source. The Eva will also take action to protect its pilot while sometimes servicing other interests. The Eva's resident soul, Yui Ikari (Shinji's mother), appears to be responsible for such events. Unit 01 is called the "Test Type". Upon savagely disfiguring the fourteenth angel, Zeruel, Unit 01 used one of Zeruel's arms to regenerate its severed left arm and proceeded to devour the Angel and absorb its S² Engine (which seemed to be used only at Unit 01's discretion). After acquiring it, the Eva is still sent into battle with an umbilical cable. The Mass Production models were later equipped with artifical S² Engines. In The End of Evangelion film, as a result of Third Impact, Unit 01 was used by SEELE in order to perform the Human instrumentality project. At the conclusion, Unit 01 is left floating adrift in space, fossilized and still containing the soul of Yui Ikari. In the Rebuild of Evangelion series, Unit 01 sports more neon green highlights on the head, chest, abdomen, and arms. The progressive knife and its storage mechanism are also redesigned, but most of the armour has not changed. During its fight with Shamshel, the skin of the humanoid entity beneath the armour is revealed to a lighter color than in the series. During its fight with Zeruel, after the internal batteries die, the neon green lights glow red and it sports a Halo as well as being able to fire an energy blast similar to the angels. It also replaced its missing arm with a limb formed out of its own AT field and absorbed Zeruel and its core, but the angel began to make it change into a new life form that defied reason, and would have come into existence at the cost of all previous life. It would have done so had Mark.06 not thrown a spear from above and stopped Unit 01's transformation. Now to a major decision, do I design it to the scale of standard HeroClix or to the same scale as my mecha show HeroClix. An Eva stands a whopping 50m tall at a solid  guess by the fans (the real high has never be revealed, but all the fan site agree that it is about 50m). So in standard HeroClix this would be a huge colossal figure like Galactus, while with the mecha show stuff a big figure like the Sentinels would do. I decided to go with the huge colossal more due to the fact it has multiple dials. The two larger dials can be used for standard and Berserker. The two small dials should be the pilots mental status and extra clicks for the S² Engine. Let's look at the first dial, the standard Eva Unit 01. It should have Colossal symbol, Leap Climb, Blades, Quake, Range Combat Expert, Indomitable, Impervious, Invulnerability, Toughness, the Multi-Attack ability and a trait called "Unstable Pilot".

Unstable Pilot: When Eva Unit 01 takes more than two clicks of damage, click the Mental Status dial down by one. When Eva Unit 01 is the target of Outwit, Psychic Blast, Mind Control or Incapacitate, click the Mental Status dial down by one at the end of the action.
The Eva should have twenty clicks of health and combat values of Speed 10, Attack 13, Defence 21, Damage 3 and Range 10 with one target. Next let's look at the Mental Status dial which shows the pilots mental status. The should show one of five colour throughout the deal. Each colour has a different effect. In order:
Green: Nothing.
Yellow: Eva Unit 01 can use Charge.
Orange: Eva Unit 01 can use Charge and Perplex, but can only target it self with Perplex.
Red: Eva Unit 01 has Charge and Battle Flurry.
Black: When this is reviled stop turning the dial. Switch dial from the Standard mode to the Berserk mode on the same click. All pilot card effects are ignored.
It should be something like four green, three yellow, two orange, two red and one black click. Next is the Berserk mode dial. On this dial Eva Unit 01 should have Charge, Colossal symbol, Leap Climb, Blades, Quake, Indomitable, Impervious, Invulnerability, Toughness, the Multi-Attack ability, a special called "Consume Opponents" and a trait called "Savage Creature".
Consume Opponents: If an attack from Eva Unit  01 KO's an opponent, Eva Unit 01 may use Regeneration as a free action straight away after the action resolves.
Savage Creature: Eva Unit 01 cannot start play on this dial. Eva Unit 01 can not be the target of Mind Control attacks and it ignores other characters Shape Change.

The Eva should have twenty clicks of health and combat values of Speed 12, Attack 15, Defence 22, Damage 5 and Range 0. Next let's look at the S² Engine dial. This dial should be added to the end of ever dial if you pay the veteran cost. If Eva Unit 01 is on this dial, turn the Mental Status dial to click 12. Basicly it should have all the same things as the Berserk Mode, but also agains the Kami Power team ability and the regeneration special that the Marvel Giant Size X-Men and Marvel Web of Spider-Man Wolverines have. Overall Eva Unit 01 should have the Eva team ability and the keyword Nerv.

Next is the Eva team ability: Figures with this team ability can be equipped with up to one Pilot Card. They can only be equipped with other cards (like Feats and ATAs) only if they are equipped with a Pilot Card, unless the card states otherwise. The next other section idea should be Hikari Konohana from Strawberry Panic!.

Next is the Magella Attack Tank and its flying Turret from the original Mobile Suit Gundam. The HT-01B Magella Attack tank was the main battle tank of the Principality of Zeon's ground forces throughout the One Year War. Magella Attack used a powerful 175 mm cannon for their main purposes of combatting the Earth Federation's M61 Main Battle Tanks and later mobile suit forces. A 3-barrelled 35 mm machine gun, for attacks against infantry, rounded out the armaments. The Magella Attack's most distinguishing feature is a very large canopy-style cockpit very similar to fighter aircraft, which is very unusual for a tank but gives the men inside a more open view of the battlefield - in fact this cockpit, called the Magella Top, is designed to be detachable along with the entire main gun system so that the pilot could continue fighting in case the tank's hull was destroyed. In reality, the Magella Top was little more than a poorly qualified escape vessel with a gun, lacking the fuel to stay afloat for more than a few mere minutes. Even when compared to the M61, the detachable top design of the Magella Attack severely limits its main gun's range of traverse to the point that Magella Attacks almost exclusively relied on maneuvering its hull for targeting, more like a casemate assault gun than a true main battle tank. Then the advent of RGM-79 GM rendered Magella Attack tanks, as other weapons that preceded mobile suits were, mostly ineffective. But when properly deployed, however, the Magella actually scored victories against mobile suits by the virtue of its 175 mm main gun being capable of destroying enemy mobile suits with a well-placed shot, and even lunar titanium alloy armors can be penetrated or seriously compromised from a direct hit. Finally, Zeon engineers, motivated by the increasing shortage of all weapons during the late stage of the One Year War, were able to come up with some interesting contraptions. Magella Attack main guns were known to be jerry-rigged into hand-held weapons for MS-05 Zaku Is and MS-06 Zaku IIs as a stand-in for the standard 280 mm Zaku Bazookas, and the hull assembly can be fused with the torso of a Zaku into the Zaku Tank, which came as a blessing to many Zeon forces that found themselves left with little more than spare parts or salvaged components. Abandoned Magella hulls, as part of a Zaku Tank or otherwise, proved to be a particularly versatile platform capable of being outfitted with items ranging from weapons such as missile launchers to engineering equipments such as dozer blades. It should have Energy Explosion, Energy Shield Deflection and two traits called "Magella Turret" and "Flying Turret".
Maglella Turret: Magella Attack Tank begins the game with Magella Turret attached. While Magella Turret is attached, Magella Attack Tank can use Range Combat Expert as if it has a range value of te. When Magella Attack Tank is KO'd and Magella Turret was still attached roll a d6, on a roll of 5+ place the Magella Turret in a square adjacent to where the Magella Attack Tank was. Points are not awarded until both Magella Attack Tank and Magella Turret are removed from play.
Flying Turret: Give Magella Attack Tank a power action and remove Magella Turret from Magella Attack Tank and place it in an adjacent square.
It should have four clicks if health and starting combat values of Speed 6, Attack 9 Defence 15, Damage 1 and Range 3 with one target. It should have the Zeon team ability and the keywords Zeon and Vehicle. The Magella Turret should have the flight symbol, Running Shot and combat values of Speed 10, Attack 8, Defence 17, Damage 3 and Range 5 with one target. The next Gundam UC idea should be alternate equipment versions of the RX-78-2 Gundam.

Evangelion 3.0

The DreamClix 7 post will be late AGAIN. Spoiler. It will have something from Evangelion in it (planned and written before seeing the new trailer).

MK HeroClix, the 18th of October, The Colours of the Gems

Welcome to the new style MK HeroClix post. I have decided to split the DreamClix section away from the MK HeroClix post. On weeks when was HeroClix does not happen the MK HeroClix post will be just a HeroClix news post and I might throw is a DreamClix idea to as a post filler.

First off the HeroClix news for this week. This week there were previews of Maul, Booster Gold, Catwoman, Two-Face, Batgirl and Hired Goon from DC Batman; and Blue Beetle from DC Streets of Gotham.

This week was 500 points, Marvel only, pick a colour that no one else has. You gain an Infinity Gem based on that colour. I am Gold/Yellow so I have the Reality Gem, Adrian is Green so he has the Soul Gem, Michael is Red so he has the Power Gem and Darren is Purple so he has Space Gem. If you cannot guess I went for an Iron Man team who were:

A picture of the shooting of Iron Man 3! OMG!

Iron Man (205 Marvel Avengers Movies) 150 + Reality Gem
3 x Iron Man Drones (002 Marvel Chaos War) 70 x 3 = 210
Iron Man Drones (002 Marvel Chaos War) 30
Spider-Man (051 Marvel Avengers) 111
=501 points and two re-rolls.

In the first round I was up against Adrian. He was using a Avengers team who where:

Vision (013 Marvel Chaos War) 95
Hulk (001 Marvel Incredible Hulk) 165
Iron Fist (004 Marvel Secret Invasion) 70
Hercules (016 Marvel Secret Invasion) 142 + Soul Gem
=472 points and four re-rolls.

At first this was a tough battle, but when Iron Man rolled a 6 on his regeneration roll things changed and I ended up winning the game. Also Darren won his game with Michael. In the second round I was up against Darren. He was using a Thunderbolts team who were:

Green Goblin (018 Marvel HeroClix 10th Anniversary) 117 + Thunderbolts (ATA) 8 = 125
Baron Zemo (041 Marvel Chaos War) 100 + Thunderbolts (ATA) 8 = 108
Bullseye (042 Marvel Web of Spider-Man) 117 + Thunderbolts (ATA) 8 = 125 + Space Gem
Tiger Shark (134 Marvel Incredible Hulk) 134 + Thunderbolts (ATA) 8 = 142
=495 points and four re-rolls.

Darren Thunderbolted to Mystics and like normal I lost the game, but I did take out Green Goblin. Also Adrian won his game against Michael. On the fourth and final round I was up against Michael. He was using a non themed team who were:

Iron Man (021 Marvel Secret Invasion) 188
Captain Mar-Vell (042 human Marvel Secret Invasion) 185 + Power Gem
Elektra (048 human Marvel Secret Invasion) 80
Scarlet Witch (052 Marvel Fantastic Forces) 35
=488 points and no re-rolls.

The Iron Man Army managed to white wash Michael's team, which lead to my winning. Also Michael won his game against his brother Adrian. The special of the Iron Man Drones was very effective. MINION: REMOTE COMMAND: When a friendly character named Iron Man, Tony Stark, or Ultron is within 8 squares, Iron Man Drone can be given a move action as a free action, but modifies its speed value by -2.

As Adrian will not be at HeroClix next week, next week's game will be there a 1,200 point three way battle. No Colossals.

Until next time, Mecha Up.

Neoscream's Life for the week of the 8th to the 14th of October

Apsalus 1

Welcome to another week of my life, in a newer style. For those new to the blog, the "Neoscream's Life" posts are basically a weekly dairy of mine.

At work this week my hours got messed about and we had several members of staff go down sick due to the cold weather. I had Thursday off instead of my normal Sunday and Marisa is quitting the job as she is moving to London. I ended up doing over 38 hours this week.

During the week Mantic made three updates on their DreadBall KickStarter to get people psyched up for the survey that was sent out on Friday evening. I have filled in the survey and the only extra stuff I added was the physical copies of the Seasons Two and Three rulebooks, but I asked for a signed copy of Season Two rulebook (which was a new option to the survey). I decided I would leave the white cases for another day as I could get ten boxes for £12 (about $20) from the website were ten on the KickStarter is $25 (about £15).

The Judge Dredd Block Wars KickStarter has now finished. There was an interesting new item added to it that would be useful for my Black Knights team for 7TV, the Mo-Pod. However they are asking for $100 for it, so sadly I had to say pass on it for now. But it wouldhave given me a free PDF copy of the Judge Dredd RPG. They made over $101k with this KickStarter. By the sound of things my order will be sent off soon.

Oh I have also ordered two figures off Left Hand Miniatures, one as an extra ninja or civilian for my Kung-Fu Detective School team for 7TV and one to hopefully convert into my main DreadBall coach that will be based on WWE Raw General Manager AJ Lee.

There was no 7TV game this week as Richard was away getting hammered.

The other week I took my mum's Crap Book, I mean Dell Notebook, to PC World for a service. They agreed that it is too slow and said it needed more RAM (I could have told them that myself). They booked it in to be upgraded on Thursday. So I had to drop it off at PC World in the morning on my day off. Then about three hours later I received a phone call from them saying they could not up the RAM as it is at the maximum it could go which was 2GB. Beep, Beep, Beep! I told my mum and we decided to look at prices of new laptops to try to get a better one as the Crap Book is too problematic for her after she finished work. We picked up a new 15" ASUS Ultrabook and I spent part of my time setting it up for my mum. This was one of the reasons why the DreamClix 7 post was a day late.


The other reason was that the DreamClix post was late was that while I was out dropping off the Crap Book, I popped Toys R Us and ended up reordering Pokémon Black 2. So I picked it up on Friday morning before work. Like normal it is hard to put down.
