Welcome to “Gaming News from Neoscream”. This is my
weekly gaming news post for miniature games, RPGs, some card games and computer
games. Due to no gaming this week as HeroClix was cancelled, there will be no
"Gaming with Neoscream" this week. Instead the "Future
Events" Section will be added to the end of this post. Please note that
this weekend's events will not be listed. If you want them please check last
week’s "Gaming with Neoscream" post.
Gaming News
First off is the HeroClix news. This week we had
previews of: The Blob and Storm from Marvel X-Men Days of Future Past; Speed
Demon and Whizzer from Marvel Deadpool; and (Green Lantern Recruit, Katma Tui,
Rond Vidar, Guy Gardner, Jade and Hannu all I miss last week), Sinestro, Sinestro
Corps Recruit, Bedovian, Mongul, Karu-Sil, Parallax, the Blue Lantern Ring and
the Blue Lantern Ring Power Battery from DC War of Light.
Also it was revealed that in October there will be a
DC Flash set with standard five figure boosters, Gravity Feed boosters and a
Rouges themed Fast Forces pack (Captains Cold, Boomerang, Mirror Master,
Weather Wizard, Heat Wave and the Pied Piper). The set will include the Harley
Quinn HeroClix World Champion Piece and the 2013 DC Fan Vote Winner, Etrigan
the Demon.

Next is the Privateer Press news. A video promo was
posted (and I have shared it on my blog on Monday night) for High Command. It
promoted the Warmachine Campaign Expansion pack that was already known about,
as well as a new Hordes Campaign Expansion pack and a Core Set Expansion with
four new factions (Redemption, Convergence, Highborn Covenant, and the Four
Star Syndicate). It is interesting that they decided to do Mercenaries Packs
than having them as just one faction or cards that can be used by anyone.
However this does mean that there will be two sets a month now and not a slowed
which people were thinking there be (will the people in my High Command group).
Will any ways, it will be great to finally have Convergence in the game.
Now for the Ninja Division news. There is a massive
list of the current progress of the rules and Miniatures for the KickStarter.
At a rough estimate I would say that Miniatures for the main box game are ready
with moulds (apart from the pets) and the rules are almost done with closed
beta. With the extras almost everything is sculpted and the rules are almost
closed beta ready.
Next is the Interface Zero news. The main rulebook
has been sent to the printers and shipping should start in July. Also there is
a downloadable snack peek of the preliminary star ship creation rules from “The
solar system” book.
Now for the Journey: Wrath of Daemons news. This
week they were showing off their new ABS Base which look fantastic.
Next is the Elven Adventurers KickStarter news. Due to
some problems with the destroyer and the mounted pilot shipping will run about
ten days into May for people that have ordered them.
Now for the Crooked Dice Games news. At Salute they
launched five all-new Starter Sets, for 7TV, 7ombieTV and 7th Voyage, and now
they have hit their web store. Each comes with the relevant rulebook, cards,
tokens dice and PDFs, and two of the 7TV Starter Sets come with a Programme
Guide and more cards and tokens. These Starter Sets are great value and are a
brilliant introduction to our games systems.
Next is the Shadows of Brimstone news. The final art
for the Box Cover of Shadows of Brimstone: City of the Ancients is now
completed, as well as 3D images of the Trederran Raiders sculpts and the heroes
the Male Rancher and the Male Dark Stone Shaman.
Now for the Kingdom Death news. A small update had
just come in. They showed of the Hard Plastic Flower Knight (due to promoting a
KickStarter for a Visual Novel game done by the artist of the art work for the
Flower Knight and childhood friend of Anna). They are still working on
reopening the Pledge Manager to let backers add more. They are trying to stop
backer being able to remove things they added in the past and prevent new
orders of Resin figures. During the Campaign Adam promised that if they reached
$666,666, he would create his own version of Satan, but not as part of the
KickStarter. They more than tripled that target just by the standard
KickStarter let alone from the Pledge Manager or the Black Friday 2013 people (like
me). The artwork has been completed, the miniatures have been sculpted and
cast. It will be released either sometime this weekend, or on Monday. It is a
limited resin run of 500, but if they sell out they will take pre-orders for
another production run. There should be a bigger update coming from them next
week.
Next is the StarCrawlers news. Backers at Alpha
testing level have received resisting details which means open Alpha is
starting soon. I am not at Alpha or Beta level so I will not be able to test it
before it comes out.
Now for the Mantic news. Next month Open Day has
changed to a new address. The new address is 193 Hempshill Lane, Nottingham NG6
8PF. There will be a special event at the Open Day run by several of the staff for
seven to thirteen year olds during 11AM to 2PM so parents can enjoy the event.
It has also been revealed that Project Pandora will be on sale for £10 a box
and the Crazy box will return at the Open Day.
Lastly it was been official revealed that Dungeons
and Dragons 5th Edition has just finished it’s playtesting stage and it
is nearing release later this year around August 2014. By the sound of things
it has fixed many of the problem 4th Edition had which was too
combat based with miniatures.

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 (not including leagues). Weekday events normally start
“playing” at 7PM.
For rules for Guardians of Tyr tournaments and
leagues as well as information on pre booking your place in tournament. Pre
booking is highly recommended so they know how many people are coming. So
please go to their website which there is a link to it under my links section
which are located on the right hand side of this blog.
York House has a £3 on the day gaming fee and a £5
fee for a year’s membership. However the first day is free and they only take
yearly membership fee at the start of the year. The Hall officially opens at
7PM, but normally people start arrived 15 to 20 minutes early.
HeroClix
Scenario “Tournament Training”: 300 points team. No House Rules, modern age only.
Until next time, Keep Rolling.
OK as next Sunday is the pay-per-view Extreme Rules,
let us talk about the currently revealed matches for it. 
The thief Paige will defend the Diva's championship
that she stool from AJ Lee against AJ'S former bodyguard Tamina Snuka. I would
love to see Tamina beat the crap out of that theif, however I have a feeling
that Paige will somehow win.
