MK HeroClix House Rules

MK HeroClix, the 29th of November, Missing Mojo and crap figures

Welcome to the MK HeroClix post. This is a weekly post with HeroClix news and results of Thursday's HeroClix game at MK Wargames Society at York House. I only just realised I some how forgot last week's post. How I do not know, but I will blame it on WWE '13 anyway. Sadly I had deleted the old post from the tablet as I was writing this week's post and I will not be rewriting last week's post again. Basically there was no Adrian this week, but we did have Roxy. Michael won the four way and Roxy was the only one to be totally wiped out.

Now for this week's (and last week's) HeroClix news. This week there was previews of the HeroClix dials of Batman, The Penguin and Two Face from DC Gotham City Strategy Game; and Ice and Huntress from DC Streets of Gotham.

This week's game was pick the worst figure between 50 and 100 points for a random opponent to use in a 300 points game. If the figure has no keywords they gain one of the other characters keywords from the force they are in. I choose Super Apes: Igor and I ended up getting veteran Diamond Lil. Because of Diamond Lil, I built an Alpha Flight team who were:

Alpha Flight
Jeanne-Marie Beaubier (202 Marvel Armour Wars) 66
Puck (026 Marvel Mutant Mayhem) 42
Diamond Lil (012 Marvel Armour Wars) 60 (chosen by Michael)
Box (008 Marvel Mutations and Monsters) 125
Tank Turret (S102 Marvel Chaos War) 2
=295 points and two re-rolls.

In the first round I was up against Adrian. He was using a none themed DC team who were:

Power Ring (059 DC Justice League) 90 (chosen by Darren)
The Question (004 DC Arkham Asylum) 37
Robin (034 DC Arkham Asylum) 66
Supergirl (010 DC Superman) 100
=293 points and no re-rolls.

I ended up being white washed, due to a over powered for the points Supergirl. I heavy hurt both Question and Power Ring, but sadly I did not KO them. Also a Critical Hit from Power Ring when he was on Attack 7 did not help ever. In the second round I was up against Michael. Like his brother, he was using a none themed DC team who were:

Len Snart (201 DC Collateral Damage) 77 (chosen by Adrian)
Cosmic Boy (003 DC Legion of Super-Heroes) 70
Superman (001 DC Superman) 150
=297 points and no re-rolls.

Again I ended up losing due to another over powered figure, this time Superman. I manage to KO Len Snart aka Captain Cold this time. It did not help that I missed a very important attack on Super that would have crippled him. In the third round I was up against Darren. He was using a Marvel Animal themed team who were:

Noh-Varr
Super Apes: Igor (019 Marvel Supernova) 50 (chosen by me)
Cosmo (039 Marvel Galactic Guardians) 52
Puma (012 Marvel Web of Spider-Man) 56
Noh-Varr (038 Marvel Web of Spider-Man) 141
=299 points and one re-roll.

Again I lost. Noh-Varr was nasty, especially with Police TA combo from Igor and Cosmo and Cosmo's Enhance and TK. I knew my Alpha Flight was not that great. Due to time and the fact I had some other Alpha Flight figures in my case (due to the fact I could not remember if it was 300 or 500 points so I built both), I redid my team with Darren's help and we had another game. The reformed team was:

Diamond Lil (012 Marvel Armour Wars) 60 + Alpha Flight (ATA) 4 = 64
Vindicator (054 Marvel Supernova) 124 + Alpha Flight (ATA) 4 = 128
Puck (026 Marvel Mutant Mayhem) 42 + Alpha Flight (ATA) 4 = 46
Northstar (068 Marvel Mutant Mayhem) 61 + Alpha Flight (ATA) 4 = 64
=302 points and two re-rolls.

This team lost as well, but they did much better than the other team as the other team did not KO anything, but this team KO'd both Noh-Varr and Igor, nearly two thirds of his team. However I bet I still would have lost of other two games due to Superman and Supergirl.

Next week's game should be 500 points, three actions, villains only.

Until next time, Mecha Up.

Neoscream's Life for the week of the 19th to the 25th of November

RX-78GP02A Gundam "Physalis"
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. It also includes the AJ news; the latest Cosplay Deviants sets and news; my "Watch, Listen and Read" lists; and now 7TV teams until next year (well starting next week).

This week the late mornings have been busy at work. This is most likely due to the closeness of Christmas. Also the Assistant Manager is back from her holidays. Apart from that not much happened to write about.

The first set of DreadBall KickStarter stuff will start shipping soon, so there is a slim chance that I will have it ever by the Neoscream's Life post or the one after that. Also good news for people who pledged at January Keeper and Striker level. They will be sent of with the December ones, so they will have them before Christmas now. Also tester colour schemes have been done for both the Female Corps and Z'zor teams.

On Tuesday my Mum went into Hospital again, this time for an operation on her elbow to remove any bonely bits floating in there that were effecting movement and blood flow in her left arm. She was meant to be back home in the evening, but due to bed problems she never got a bed until late in the day. This meant she would not be going back until Wednesday morning, about 7AM/8AM. Again this was delayed as they did not see her until 9AM and sadly due the cut was still bleeding my mum could not leave it the afternoon where my dad was free. This was a pain as I booked Wednesday off work to keep an eye on her for the first 24 hours and it ended up that I could have worked it. Apart from the bleeding my mum was fine. In fact she was more active and in less pain then when the shoulder was done.
Female Corps tester colour scheme

A friend of mine, Roxy, was back in Milton Keynes for a couple of days this week. Roxy now lives and works in Cardiff. Richard had planned a get together on Friday for Roxy, however there was a miss understanding somewhere and Roxy was not free on Friday evening like Richard thought. So Richard had to do a last minute re-plan on Wednesday for Wednesday evening. It was only me, Richard, Colette and Roxy due to it being last minute and being on weekday. Roxy is doing OK in Cardiff.

We manage to get a game of 7TV during the weekend. Their super harden team verses a 450 point version of my Cyber Cultists team. Sadly the Cyber Cultist were destroyed with the figure based on John Cena being the last one standing before we called an end to it. It does not help that they have spent a lot of experience to boost their stars. Movement 8, Strength 10, Defence 5 with Rage, Invulnerable (1) and Fists of Fury is Pete's Failed Experience. Strength 8 or 9, Defence 7 with Improvised Weapon is Nathan's Nasty Piece of Work. Invisible, Mind Blast and a Laser Rifle is Richard's character.I am going to have to use a boosted G.O.D.S. team on them next time. Insert (Ted DiBiase senior) evil laugh now.


Love that smile
Now for a theme that has been taking over the Neoscream's Life posts lately, AJ Lee. First off Survivor Series. As this happen late Sunday/early Monday morning for me, I decided to talk about it in this post instead of last week's. AJ had evidence of Vickie Guerrero having affairs with people (good old JR, Ricardo Rodriguez and Brodus Clay). I can think of one other picture AJ could of used, but I know why she did not use it. She did not want to hurt John Cena. Vickie denied them and then the daughter of "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka, Tamina Snuka, attack AJ from behind. I lost all respect I had for Tamina after her actions.


On Raw, Vickie had more so called evidence of AJ's and Cena's so call affair. This time two witnesses. Most likely two random people off the street (more part time actors) that were being paid to say what they said. First AJ came out to deal with AJ and than a bit later Cena came out. Both off them had enough of Vickie's turning Raw into a tabloid of lies. Cena came up with a way to end it. He then kisses AJ. A WOW and OMG moment. AJ's lips looked wonderful. Cena you lucky hero. After that Cena was about to say something to Vickie and then AJ kisses Cena. An awesome WOW and an amazing OMG moment, but the Dickhead (I not going to call him by his name as I am trying not to feed his ego) attacked Cena from behind. Dickhead ran off and Cena followed after him, but Cena injured his knee exiting the ring. However, Cena continued after him. Later Cena was being see to and get his knee bandaged with AJ by his side. AJ decided she had enough and went to see Vickie. At Vickie's office, Vickie was speaking to Tamina Snuka when AJ entered. Vickie introduced AJ to Tamina Snuka. (Odd, this is not the first time they had meet. When going to WWE.com to get the spelling of Tamina's name I found a match on Smackdown over a year ago between them. And AJ won the match as well, so I am scared of Tamina being back.) AJ pretty much said, but no in these word, I deal with you at a later date. AJ asked what is Vickie going to do as Cena was injured. Vickie reply was nothing and then AJ stormed out of the office. Later AJ was storming towards the Men's Locker room with Layla trying to talk her out of what she was about to do. AJ told her to stay out of it and Layla backed off. AJ then stormed into the Men's Locker room and headed strait to Dickhead. All the other male superstars in the locker room backed off. She asked him who the hell does he thinks he is. The Dickhead told AJ that girls like her are a dime a dozen. That she came from nothing and she will be nothing. He says that she gloms on anyone who shows her attention. He calls AJ pathetic and said that every time she loses a piece of her pride and now she is a shell of a woman. He calls her sad, weak, and pitiful. He calls AJ trash. First off it girls like AJ is a dime a dozen the world might be a happier place. She might have came from nothing, but that does not mean she is nothing. I am willing to place money on her to be in the WWE Hall of Fame in the future, but there will be a long wait until that will happen. AJ is not pathetic, she is just a lonely soul search for a special someone. She my not be the strongest Diva, but brute strength is not everything, just look at Rey Mysterio. After Dickhead's comments, AJ unleashes a flurry of punches on Ziggler. To be honest, if I was there and heard what he said to her, I might have done the some, or hit him with the nearest hard object that is not his head. Cena rushed in out of nowhere to stops AJ and then the Dickhead punches Cena. They fight into the bathroom and knocked down the walls between the stalls with their fighting. The Dickhead was targeting Cena’s knee. Several of the superstars finally pulled off Dickhead, med officials come and help Cena while AJ makes sure he’s okay.


Best Guests Ever On Miz TV. How can Miz top this?
Miz's guest star on Miz TV on Smackdown. Cena takes a seat on a couch, saying he has loved with Miz has done with place. They chatted a bit about their past and Miz replayed the events from Raw. Miz then said Cena had denied his relationship with AJ before, but cannot anymore. Cena says he was sick of all the accusations and he gave them what they wanted, but admits he liked it. Cena also says AJ is a pretty good kisser. I am not expert but looking at the way she kisses I bet she is. Miz asked if they are more than just friends now, but before Cena could answer AJ came out skipped to the ring. AJ said he did not have to answer the question. Miz said that tough questions come with the territory and then he asks if they are in love, then asking the crowd. Cena said Miz is an idiot, but Dickhead came out saying that it is obvious that AJ and Cena had feelings for each one. Dickhead kept on insulting AJ and than Vickie came out. Vickie saids AJ needs to learn to control her impulses. Ok for once I agree with Vickie, but with my Dyspraxia I can understand how emotion and passion can course problems in the heat of the moment. Vickie also said that Dickhead knows how to kiss someone who is authoritative and passionate. Hang on, is Vickie saying she is having an affair with Dickhead (again). Cena stated that they cannot prove Vickie is a woman. Dickhead said that AJ and Cena deserves each other, two weak losers. Losers! Is he looking in to a mirror. Cena replied that Dolph and Vickie are good for each other; one likes to eat nuts and one has yet to find his. The ring clears and that was Miz TV. A lot later on Dickhead's and Randy Orton's match end with Dickhead managing to turn Randy's RKO into a quick pin that won him the match. Randy was about to beat the crap out of Dickhead when Alberto Del Rio and Ricardo Rodriguez made their way to the ring, but poor Ricardo ended up being the sacrificial lamb as Dickhead ran off and Alberto backed off. Dickhead thought he was safe, but Cena attacked him from behind and locking on the STF. If was my I would have stolen Triple H's sledgehammer and the crap out of Dickhead with it.

DreamClix 7, End Game

Welcome to the last 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). Due to time, Christmas and the fact that I have decided to mostly stop the DreamClix stuff, this will be the last DreamClix 7 post. This might be replaced with a 7TV, DreadBall and Cosplay Deviants post next year, but until then all the 7TV Teams stuff will be moved to the bottom of the Neoscream's Life posts.

As you may have read above I had decided to drop done the DreamClix stuff. It was fun to do at times, but did draw too much time in my life with no real benefit. I got no real feedback, I cannot play test them in the club, they do not help me get a job (one of the problems the new owners of HeroClix do not have a UK offices) and has became it is becoming too of a much of a pain than a fun thing to do. I will however continue the Cosplay Deviants cosplay cards and special events things (like Neoscream, Hyniks, Ninjamus Prime and cosplay cards of me, Blaire and AJ Lee). However I will most likely skip the idea stage and go straight to the designs. There will be a cosplay card in every Neoscream's post, which will be ever make a cosplay card of one of the Deviants from the week, updating a card of a Deviant from the week or dealing with the backlog. However I did get five dial designs done before I called it quiets and here they are:


I will try to update the Dial Designs Page with all the missing dial designs later. But first I want to finally do the MK HeroClix house rules.

DreamClix might be replaced with an idea I have been having, a Shounen style miniatures game. I am thinking of using the Action:Engine (7TV, 7ombieTV and the Doctor Who Miniatures Game) from Crooked Dice Games as the back bones of the game. This has been something I had been thinking of doing for awhile now, but never gotten around to do. I will be doing some thinking and planning now, but I will wait until next year before doing any work on it.

Now for this week's 7TV Teams. This week I did doing three team, the upgraded 150 rating version my G.O.D.S. (Global Operation Defence Superheroes team, a new 100 rating team and the upgraded 200 ratings version of my Tau Invasion Force team. This post was late due to this as the weather, last minute changes of plans (not to the teams) and WWE 13 have all delayed me with painting the remaining figures. First off is G.O.D.S.. With the extra 50 points I recruited two more heroes, The Incredible Dr. Fox and Aqua Markswoman.

Neoscream's Life for the week of the 12th to the 18th of November

RX-78GP01 Gundam "Zephyranthes"
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.

Apart from not being able to get Saturday off due to needing to finish early on on Tuesday 20th and not working 21st and 25th, not much happened at work. The time off problem was due to the Christmas period. Yes work class November as part of the Christmas period.

No new DreadBall news this week, apart from all orders of the main box set from Mantic's own store will get Wildcard and preorders get a metal version of her instead of the standard plastic version.

Now for a theme that has been taking over the Neoscream's Life posts lately, AJ Lee. Over the last three weeks I talk about my reactions to the storyline if it was real (which it is not) up to Raw on the 5th of November. I was going to write more about real life AJ and my real life thoughts of her, but like the week before I ran out of time. This week I am talking about Raw on the 12th of November and my real life reactions and thoughts of AJ.


Ok first let's Raw over with first. (Stuff in brackets here are real world reacts.) Vickie Guerrero had some more "evidence", but instead of showing it to John Cena in the ring, she showed it to AJ, well after a long chat and threats. Vickie wanted AJ to admit that she had an affair with John Cena. AJ replied that see will not lie for Vickie and that she and John are just friends. The evidence was of three voice recording from AJ left on John Cena's mobile phone answer phone. By the way AJ reacted these were massages left by her, but heavily edited. (This has now touched on a major news subject I believe the WWE should not have done, unless it will be Vickie's undoing. It it a major thing that is effecting news companies, the police and politics. People have lost their jobs over it and news teams have been disband over it. The News of the World paper being on of them. I do hope the WWE know want they are doing with this story line.) John Cena came out to deal with Vickie and Dolph Ziggler. AJ then found a lop hope in the new contact Vickie had her on. AJ could not lay a figure on Vickie, but there is nothing stopping her from slapping Dolph's think skull. So she slapped him, hurting her hand doing so and then John punched him. Both Dolph and Vickie ran off. Later, after the adds we go to the backstage where AJ and John are talking. John was worried about AJ and hating what Vickie was doing to her. John said that nothing has every happened and will never happen. AJ question him 'ever happen' and John rephrased it as to just had never happened. To me it is crystal clear that nothing happened, maybe a bit of uncontrollable flirting as it is obvious they really like each other, but that is it. I forgot to say to last week, but I knew Vickie would be using self made fake evidence this week, but I thought it would be a something like a photoshop edited picture. On a none AJ note, it was great seeing Jerry "The King" Lawler back on Raw from his time away due to suffering a heart attack two months ago. THE KING IS BACK, LONG LIVE THE KING. I plan on covering Survivor Series next week's post.


AJ winning the WWE 12 (game) tournament
Ok, now back to the real world, not the WWE fantasy soap opera world. Long term readers my have noticed (if there is any long term readers) that I have developed a huge crush on AJ. As before she became Raw General Manager, I never really talk about wrestling, WWE or its characters. And now she is no longer GM I cannot stop talking about her. I alway had a liking for since the beginning. She was a geek and prude of it. There is always something magical about during interviews which made is a huge crush. Her smiles are fantastic (ok not the psycho grim) and her laugh in interviews is great too. On top of that she has a great ass, small breast, short and glasses which are alway great bonuses. See her upset on Raw when she lost her job as the GM of Raw, really made my fill depressed as. It did not help that they left it unclear if she still had a job with the WWE and knowing how much she loved wrestling and being apart of the WWE from Interviews, I was worried about her. But there was nothing to worry about in the end, she was just returning to act in ring action. Ok I do know it is all acting, but seeing AJ upset and pissed off does really upset me.

Follow an AJ theme, I been meaning to write down three dreams I have had. They all have been named (Armoured Shining Robotic Knight, World of Sonic and Back in Power) and all had AJ in it. Sadly due to time I have only managed to write down the first two so far. First off Armoured Shining Robotic Knight.


I had this dream just before AJ lost her job as Raw GM. Basically in this dream, AJ had aloud me and Hornswoggle to a new invention of mine. Hornswoggle somehow convinced AJ that is a new robotic wrestler with an armoured shell, while in fact it it was a suit Iron Man inspired armour with an un named pilot. I learn about Hornswoggle lies to AJ until a later date. The armour was performing with Hornswoggle and occasionally Sheamus at ringside to deal with any suit problems before or after a match. They only problem the suit had was Big Show's KO Punch, it was too much force for it to absorb. I started work on finding a way to improve the suit to counter the KO Punch some how. If you have not realised it let I am the one in the suit of armour. Also during the dream there a major power struggle over Raw between AJ, Vickie Guerrero and Paul Heyman. My self in and out of the armour was trying and others like Sheamus and John Cena were trying the defend her. An example I remember is grabbing hold of AJ to preventing her from attacking Vickie and losing her job while in the armour. While holding her back I stated, "Regardless of how much I would love to AJ rip you limb by limb, I know if I do AJ would be out of a job". AJ paid a lot of attention to the wrestling armour and next to no attention to me. This was due to me not really physical being able to defend her out of the armour and AJ not knowing it is me in the armour. The next pay-per-view a six man tag match was made. Vickie and Heyman teamed had teamed up together to get rid of AJ as GM and become co-GMs of Raw. Their team was Dolph Ziggler, CM Punk and Big Show. AJ's team was John Cena, Sheamus and the wrestling armour. As the new armour upgrades had a flaw that I had not gotten rid of yet, I went with a standard armour. During the match Big Show KO'd Punched me knocking me out and damaging the helmet of the armour. Luckily it was in my team's corner and John tagged himself in as I was falling down. Sheamus and AJ dragged me out of the ring. Sheamus got Hornswoggle to go and get the new armour. Sheamus then spent some time trying to remove the damage helmet. When he managed to remove the helmet he tried to snap me out from unconscious while AJ was in shock. Sheamus and John were then only ones other than Hornswoggle who know I was in the suit of armour as the had helped out or help train me beforehand. Hornswoggle managed to get the upgrade parts to me as I regained consciousness. The upgrades were a helmet, a new collar piece to help absorb hits to the head and new gauntlets that fit that connected to a device on the back. Sheamus got back to our corner so John could tag out as he was all on his own all this time. I regeared up and made a couple of last minute adjustments. Later on it ended up with me verses Big Show. I was catching Big Show's punches with my right hand and with each catch a meter on the gauntlets start to fill up. However each punch was hurting the arm, the flaw of the upgrades. After a couple of KO punches into a gauntlet the meter was full. I did some kind of sky upper cut punch on Big Show that knocked him out cold. I collapsed in pain on top of Big Show as the punch had broken my arm, pinning him. One, two, three. The cheers of the audience was bearly drowning out the ear piecing scream from ringside. The whole team rushed to celebrate. Sheamus and John help me back up to my feet, and help me remove my helmet as the identity of the suits operator was no long a secret. AJ first slapped due to not telling her that I was the operator of the suit and letting her believe in was a robot. Then she kissed me on the lips for every I doing for her and that is there the dream ended.


In honour of how Tony Stark names some of his armours, I have dubbed the upgraded armour as Show Buster Armour. The gauntlets seem to act a bit like to impact dials from One Piece. The armoured kneeling character that will be joining the 7TV team currently called the Cyber Cultists at a later date was base lossy on the dream. Now to the second dream, World of Sonic.

In the dream I was some kind of armoured hero. Able to call my robot armour out of nowhere. Guyver or Blooding Edge Iron Man armour like. I need a device to help save or protect the Earth. I had learnt that Doctor Robotnik/Eggman (what ever you what to call him had the device in his castle. This meant I had to travel to Sonic the Hedgehog's world to get the device. The people I worked for had some kind of link with the WWE. What kind of link? I do not know, it was a dream. AJ heard about to journey and had talked me into taking her with me. Doctor Robotnik/Eggman had been gone for a long time. He was presumed dead after his last battle with Sonic. So it should be safe, apart from old rogue and wild robots of Doctor Robotnik/Eggman. I gave AJ a bracelet with a builtin force field just in case. For some reason my gut was telling me that this seems too easy and that Doctor Robotnik/Eggman might still be alive. This worry was not helped with the fact that Sonic had been missing for several day. This lead to a problem were Sonic was meant to be are guide to Doctor Robotnik/Eggman old castle. So we had to travel to the castle on foot without him though jungles and swamp lands. On the way we were attacked by a group of Doctor Robotnik/Eggman robots. I armoured up in Hyniks style armour (a character from stories I us to write) and sadly that is were the dream ended.

I will try to write down the third dream at a later date. This my not be next week's post as I have a large DreamClix 7 post to write.

UK HeroClix Reunion, the 17th and 18th of November 2012

Welcome to the UK HeroClix Reunion post. This is a special HeroClix post for the UK HeroClix Reunion that happen on the 17th and 18th of November. I was planning on doing some HeroClix news as well, but sadly there has been none since the last MK HeroClix post.

First off, Saturday. Due to work and time off needed this week I could not make Saturday. They did a massive battle with everybody fielding two pre-designed teams (one heroes, one villains). They had planned the game to last six hours, but it ended up taking nine hours. A hell of a lot later than planned. I do not know how many people were there on Saturday, but I do know Darren was not playing as he had to help judge this massive game. Oh and Super Heroes seem to love backstabbing each other.

Now to Sunday. We had to begin two team, no crossing universein each team (but the two teams can be different universes), Marvel and DC only, no multiples of the some figure it both teams (multiples of the same character was fine), no feats, no resources, no events and no bystanders. My first teams was the AS team from testing. It was a S.H.I.E.L.D. team with a heavy Avengers feel. They were:

Iron Man (009 Marvel 10th Anniversary) 125
Sharon Carter (022 Marvel Chaos War) 45
Hawkeye (039 Marvel Chaos War) 98
Mockingbird (005 Marvel Fast Forces Chaos War) 25
Howard Stark (021 Marvel Avengers Movie) 33
Nick Fury (035 Marvel Avengers Movie) 70
Steve Rogers (031 Marvel Captain America) 99
=495 points and four re-rolls.

Up until the last minute I had two team twos which I wanted to test last Thursday but could not due to it being cancelled. There was a Thunderbolts team and a X-Men team. In the end I went for the X-Men team as there was more figures on the team, also knowing me I would not have to remember to deal Mystics damage. Also X-Men our my favourite comic book team. I just play a lot of Avengers teams as Iron Man is my favourite comic book character. The team X-Men team was:

Wolverine (029 Marvel Chaos War) 90
Cyclops (008 Marvel Giant-Size X-Men) 110
Beast (010 Marvel Giant-Size X-Men) 95
Psylocke (023 Marvel Giant-Size X-Men) 74
Professor X (036 Marvel Giant-Size X-Men) 123
=492 points and four re-rolls.

There was thirteen of use and one judge as both Darren and Jules were playing. By the the sound of it there was less players than yesterday due to different problems and the late finish of yesterday. We were doing five rounds of swiss. Team one will play odd number rounds while two two will play even number rounds. Due to the odd numbers of players, one player each round will get a bye. It was decided the the person with the bye will play the Judge who will use their other team. This will be written as a win regardless of the result, but they gain the victory points they won in the game instead of no victory points which they meant to get with a bye. According to the judge the entry forms were shuffled to determine who will play who in round one. I ended up playing Darren and Michael and Adrian ended up playing each other. Face palm. Darren's team one was the Y team he used during testing. It was a Sinestro Corps team who were:

Scarecrow (003 DC Blackest Night) 85
Arkillo (028 DC Arkham Asylum) 126
Amon Sur (030 DC Arkham Asylum) 70
Lyssa Drak (046 DC Arkham Asylum) 72
Sinestro (055 DC Crisis) 146
=499 points and four re-rolls.

It was a revenge match and sadly not ending with the same results. He white washed my team. On round two I was up against a kid called Stu. He was using a X-Force team who were:

Wolverine (004 Marvel Fast Forces Giant-Size X-Men) 75
Domino (017 Marvel Giant-Size X-Men) 69
Elixir (025 Marvel Giant-Size X-Men) 51
Cable/Deadpool (044 Marvel Giant-Size X-Men) 247
Shatterstar (024 Marvel Mutations and Monsters) 57
=499 points and four re-rolls.

X-Men verses X-Force. Cable/Deadpool was nasty. I managed to damage them, but their phased off to Elixir who healed them. I ended up being beatened by this duo figure alone. On the third round I had the bye so I was up against the judge (sorry I am bad at remembering names) who used my X-Men team. My S.H.I.E.L.D. team creamed my X-Men team with easy. On the fourth round I was up against Adrian. Face Palm. He was using an Avengers team who were:

Vision (013 Marvel Chaos War) 95
Captain America (001 Marvel Captain America) 89
Namor (045 Marvel Secret Invasion) 150
Iron Man (217 Marvel Supernova) 160
=494 points and four re-rolls.

My X-Men team could not keep up and ended up losing. I wish a had a chance to test the team out before hand as they turned out crap as they lost all three games they were in. Maybe I should have gone for the Thunderbolts, at least Mystics would have damaged my opponents more. On the fifth and final round I was up against Michael. Face Palm. We came to this to play other plays (and to have fun and maybe win prizes), not to play the same players we normally do. Michael was using an Avengers team who were:

Donald Blake (010 Marvel Chaos War) 33
Wasp (016 Marvel Chaos War) 75
Black Panther (037 Marvel Captain America) 128
Captain America (040 Marvel Hammer of Thor) 72
Iron Man (021 Marvel Secret Invasion) 188
=496 points and four re-rolls

My team managed to cream Michael's team only losing Howard Stark. A very stupid mistake made by Michael did not help him. He moved Captain America into the open to blow up an object under my Hawkeye so that the rest of his team could shot Hawkeye  the next target. Steve Rogers KO'd Captain America in one hit with damage be boosted by Howard Stark, Nick Fury and Sharon Carter. Oh and Howard Stark stepped in the way so Hawkeye was safe from the rest of his team. Over all never me, Adrian and Michael did that well during the day, in fact Michael was die last. Darren got ever third or four place and won Wolverage (a hulked out Wolverine). On a note on rewards, there were six prize places, Fellowship and the top five places not including fellowship. Everyone else got maps. I picked up the DC Super prize support map. It was nice seeing some of the players I remember from the old nationals years ago, but I would have liked playing more players than the players I always play against.

Lastly Thursday's game should be a 1,200 points Mojo game. Crap, I cannot remember Mojo's rules. How ever that is understandable and it has been years now since the last Mojo event and Darren should have updated the rules too.

Until next time, Mecha Up.

MK HeroClix, the 15th of November, Coming of The Reunion


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 Catwoman and Selina Kyle from DC Batman; Utility Belt and Gas Pellets/Smoke Grenade from DC No Man’s Land; and Fire DC Streets of Gotham. Also DC Batman and The Hobbit An Unexpected Journey has been released this week.

There was no HeroClix this week as Darren called off last moment. No clue at the moment what next week game will be. There will be a special UK HeroClix Reunion replacing the DreamClix 7 post on Monday, it will cover what happens on Sunday. Due to my mum going to hospital due the week next week and too much time off during the November/December Christmas period, I will not be going to the reunion on Saturday now.

Now for the filler idea which it is Jirōbō Ikkanzaka from Bleach. Jirōbō Ikkanzaka is the former 4th Seat of the Seventh Division. He is the younger brother of Jidanbō Ikkanzaka. He is also known by the nickname Kamaitachi (sickle weasel). He should have Running Shot, Blades and Super Senses. He should have about five clicks of health and starting combat values of Speed 9, Attack 9, Defence 17, Damage 2 and Range 6 with three targets. He should have the Soul Reaper team ability and the keywords Soul Reaper and Division 7. The next Bleach idea should be Karin Kurosaki.

Until next time, Mecha Up.

Neoscream's Life, the 5th to the 11th of November

MS-18E Kämpfer
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 was chaotic week. New equipment, New fries, New higher prices, New smaller fry bags and a couple of other things I cannot talk about on the blog. The higher prices and smaller fly bags well kill business. Also most people prefer our old flies instead of these new ones. Personal I cannot taste the difference, but I rarely eat our fries.

Mantic have revealed that they will be sending eight MVPs with there first delivery of the DreadBall KickStarter instead of four. However, only seven names were stated which one of them is a Season 2 MVP. For those who do not know the are eight MVPs for Season 2. So with the eight MVP be one of the missing Season One MVPs or another Season Two. The only problem with the Season Two MVPs coming out now is that there be no rules for them until April, in fact they have not been play tested and might not even been written. The MVP Known to come are:


Here is the Cyber Cultists again
On other miniatures gaming news, I have received my Enforcers arrived from Mantic and my replacement Robodoc from Judge Dredd. The Robodoc came with parts to fix the original one they sent too, but they sent the right side arms instead of the left side for it. Well at lest I have a complete one, the spear can be used as a extra RefBot for DreadBall. As you can tell from the pictures I posted yesterday in the DreamClix 7 post work has started on the X-Guards, Kane and more characters for the currently named Cyber Cultists (really next a new name for them). The extra characters are John Cena, the Undertaker and a special random extra, a shining knight to replace Kane as AJ's Right Hand Man and protector.  Sadly no game of 7TV happened this week. After they leveled up from the last game and built their teams there were was no time for a game. Due to the UK HeroClix Reunion there will be no game next week, but there is one booked for the Saturday evening of the following weekend. In the game I plan on using a 450 rating version of the Cyber Cultists using temp figures for some of the figures. This has laid out a rough plan of action for the team.

During the week, one of my good friends, Simon, has became a dad. Congrats.


Thanks to AprilJeanette.net and Ortonluver
over at divas-unlimited for posting some
pictures of AJ with the Diva's Championship
Now for a theme that has been taking over the Neoscream's Life posts lately (Oh and some of the DreamClix 7 posts), AJ Lee. Last week I talk about my reactions to the storyline if it was real (which it is not) up to Raw on the 29th of October. I was going to write more, but I ran out of time. This week I am talking about the Raw European Tour, Raw on the 5th of November and my real life reactions and thoughts of AJ.

(Ok apart from the televised Raw, all if not most were more or less a repeat of each other so I have group then into the two match.) During the none televised Raw European tour, AJ appeared in two matches. First off a little disclaimer, I have not seen these matches in person, I have just read up about them on AprilJeanette.org and seen several YouTube clip. The first match was a triple threat match for a Diva's Championship between AJ, Layla and current Diva's Champion Eve. I am not going to touch upon the whole Eve, Layla and Kaitlyn thing here. That can be left to another post, if I can be bothered to talk about that. AJ won the match by pinning Eve. AJ became the New Diva's Champion. Everything was awesome until that BEEPING bitch Vickie Guerrero came out and made the Ref restart the match. I never knew why until just recently. In the middle of the match AJ miss judged her aim when breaking a pin between Eve and Layla and hit the arm(s) of the ref. The ref accepted her apology and continued the match. Miss takes do happen and the ref understood that. Vickie restarted the match say it was due to AJ touching the ref, which is bull shit as the is the ref's call. Eve quickly beat and pinned AJ who was in shock before Layla could get back into the ring. That BEEPING bitch Vickie has scrawled AJ out of the Diva's Championship. If they were real I would love to get a hold of a Death Note to write Vickie Guerrero's name in it. Video of the match below.



Well anyway onto the second match (this only happened in a couple of events by the sound of things). I do not know all the details, it was John Cena versus Dolph Ziggler. Towards the end of the match the Ref was out of the ring and there was a tug of war match between AJ and Vickie over the Money in the Bank Briefcase. At a guess Vickie ever tried hitting John Cena with it or tried giving it to Dolph to hit John with it. Ever way, AJ won the tug of war. John Cena than snogged Vickie. AJ then clobbered Dolph with his Money in the Bank briefcase. Both Vickie and AJ left the ring. John did the Attitude Adjustment on Dolph and then pinned him. The Ref get back into the ring and then 1, 2, 3, John Cena is the winner. Video of the what I was talking about to the left.


On Raw on the 5th of November, Vickie had more so called evidence she wanted to showed John Cena. It was two videos from two different cameras in the same hotel. The first video showed AJ going from one room to another wearing a bathrobe. According to Vickie AJ was naked under it, but where is the proof for that. She could have anything under it. Underwear, sexy lingerie, pajamas or cloths as she might be cool. I vote for the the pajamas knowing AJ. The second video from a different camera is of John Cena stepping out from a room with just a towel covering his lower half. He hang a "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door and then he went back in. Due to the fact that they are different cameras means this evidence mean nothing. Vickie wanted AJ to come to the ring for her side of the story. A unhappy AJ appeared on the TitanTron saying she will not come out to the ring as if she does she will beat the crap out of Vickie and loss the job she loves so much. Dolph came up to her and placed his arm around her. AJ looked super pissed about it, but did not do anything about it. John ran out of the ring to save AJ and then we cut to adverts. This was the last we see and hear about of AJ for the rest of the show, but we still see Vickie Guerrero, Dolph Ziggler and John Cena around. (In real life I have a feeling that AJ was not there and the TitanTrin video was a prerecording.)


All we seen over these weeks that AJ and John Cena care for each other, no real evidence of any kind of romantic relationship between them before AJ lost her job and not enough proof to reveal a relationship happening now. I have a feeling (before reading and seeing what happened on Raw on the 12th of November) that nothing happen before AJ lost her job as Raw GM, they do have feelings for one and other, but acted professionally. Afterwards tho anything meant have happened, but they are free to do what they what. Almost all of Vickie's so called evidence happened after AJ lost her job. How do the Board believe anything happened with all the little amount of evidence Vickie had. All the AJ Scandal has truly revealed is Vickie Guerrero has NO LIFE. I will talk about Raw on the 12th of November next week with any changes to my thoughts.

Ok now back to the real world. I think the real life reason why AJ is no longer the GM of Raw is the dwelling number of competing Divas due to Beth Phoenix leaving the WWE. The whole Scandal this is starting to get a bit stupid. I wished the Diva triple threat match was televised, it would have been great to see AJ with the Diva's Championship as the champion in HD. I am planning on hopefully getting tickets to the next UK tour, depending on who is meant to be going. Strong winners would be AJ, John Cena, Sheamus, Big Show, Layla, Rey Mysterio, Sin Cara, Ted Dibiase, Yoshi Tatsu, Triple H and Undertaker (oh and of course Jerry "The King" Lawyer. Long live the King). OK time has gotten the better of me again and I sadly have to end it here for now. More next week.
