Welcome to “Gaming with Neoscream”. This is my
weekly gaming post for miniature games, non-computer RPGs and some card games.
Gaming News
First off is the Mantic news. I learnt after posting
last week’s post that all orders of DreadBall Kick-Off from their store during
January will receive DreadBall Kick-Off Extra Time for free.
This week on their blog (link to their website is in
the links list on the right) they have been revealing more about the DreadBall
Galactic Tour Series: Azure Forest pack.
Next is the HeroClix news. This week there was
previews of: Toyman, the Airplane toy, the Race Car toy, the Cymbal-Banging
Monkey toy and the Teddy Bear toy from DC Superman and the Legion of
Super-Heroes; Firewing Pegasus from Yu-Gi-Oh Series One; and Alpha Class
Sentinel in both modes and the Bystander Tokens that come with it from Marvel
X-Men Days of Future Past.
Now for the Privateer Press news. Next Wednesday
will see the release of the Cryx Bane Thralls unit, the Retribution Houseguard
Riflemen unit, the Retribution Houseguard Thane solo, the Convergence
Eradicators unit and the Hordes High Command expansion set “Savage Guardians”.
Next is the Zombicide news. There is a new mission
on their website called Zombie Musical.
Now for the Journey: Wrath of Demons news. They have
sent off masters for five of the miniatures and hope to have the plastic
miniatures of them by the end of February.
Next is the Shadows of Brimstone KickStarter news.
They showed off a ton of artwork this week and the 3D designs of the Harbinger.
Now for the Crooked Dice Games news. They have
finish sculpting four new Beat and two SHIVA models. Sadly there are no
pictures of them yet. These should be out on the 1st of March.
Until the end of January there it a 25% off sale on
all miniatures (not including new releases) on their web store.
Lastly there is the Elven Adventurers Box Set
KickStarter news. We have images of the green for the Troll 'Zerker.
Past Events
On Monday I had a couple of games of DreadBall with
Rob. We were trying to get rid of any rush we had with the game as never of us
had played since the tournament ran by Guardians of Tyr at Wargames Workshop MK
back in November last year. We both tried out Season three teams. I had
Teratons while Rob was using Zees. I won the first game and Rob won the second.
Bob and Ian also had a game, Judwan verses Corporations and it showed that the
change to the Judwan to down power them has made them not that good. Maybe
lowering their cost to fit an extra player would help re-balance them.

Wargames Workshop MK has a £2 gaming fee or £4 with
a pack of Magic the Gathering cards unless it is a paid tournament run by
Guardians of Tyr. Weekday events normally start “playing” at 7PM. There are
plays for Bolt Action tournaments as well, however there are no dates at the
moment.
For rules for Guardians of Tyr tournaments and
leagues as well as information on pre paying your place in tournament (highly
recommended) please go to their website which there is a link to their site
under my links to the right hand side of this blog.
Painting and Converting
This week makes the start of a re-work Painting
order. So this week I have doing Miss Spider for my 7TV Hive team (I might also
use her as AJ Lee’s current bodyguard Tamina Snuka in my CWC team), a Reb Commander, a Reb Teraton, two Reb Soraks and a Reb Yndij.
I have changer the bases for the Reb Commander and the Reb Teraton. I will try to post updated pictures of them at a later date. Next week should be doing a bunch more Rebs for
Deadzone and some Loka figures as well.
Until next time, Keep Rolling. Only five more
posts until post 1,000.
