Welcome to “Gaming News from Neoscream”. This is my
weekly gaming news post for miniature games, RPGs, some card games and computer
games.
“Gaming News”
First off is the HeroClix news. This week we had
previews of: Franklin Richards and Rachel Summers from Marvel X-Men Days of
Future Past; Shang-Chi and the Cat from Marvel Deadpool; and Indigo-1, Indigo
Tribe Recruit, Munk, the Indigo Tribe version of John Stewart, the Indigo Tribe
version of Sinestro, the Orange Lantern Ring and the Orange Lantern Power
Battery from DC War of Light.
Next is the Ninja Division news. With Super Dungeon
Explore we got 3D printed images of Bashful Boris, Brave-Mode Candy, Never Lost
Cola, Silver Chevalier, Tabbybrook Mage, Wandering Minstrel, Royal Warden,
Dragon Blade and Deeproot Wolf Rider.
Now for
the long awaited Kingdom Death news. It has been delayed again sadly, this time there is no new deadline. However I
would guess it will be the third quarter. The delay is mostly due the nightmare
they are having with making all the armour kit compatible with one and other.
Due to the wait they are working on some more game and story contents so
backers can get more from game due to the wait. This delay was not unexpected, but not knowing when it is coming now in a pain. The stuff originally meant to ship December 2013.
The Pledge
manager is now back up for the Backers (not including the Black Friday 2013
ones like myself). The original stuff people pledged for cannot be changed and
resin figures can not be added. Also
several of the prices have gone up to be more realistic, but these price
changes only effect new stuff added now. The price changes I know of from the
comments section on KickStarter are: the Flower
Knight expansion went up from $15 to $25; the Dragon King expansion went up
from $30 to $45; the Manhunter expansion went up from $20 to $25; the Grom
expansion went up from $40 to $45; the Spidicules expansion went up from $40 to
$45; and the five packs of Armour kits deals (one pack comes with the parts to
build four figures) went up from $50 to $75 (one pack was on average $25).
Also on the update there were pictures of Flower
Knight, Gorn, the Lonely Tree, Slenderman and The King.
We also got the MSRP for the game and expansions
from Adam on the comments section. The Core Game will be $200, the Flower
Knight expansion will be $50, the Man Hunter expansion will be $50, the Lion
Knight expansion will be $50, the Dragon King expansion will be $80, the Gorm expansion
will be $80, Dung Beetle Knight expansion will be $50, Spider expansion will be
$80, the Sunstalker expansion will be $80, the Lion God expansion will be $50,
the Lantern Festival expansion will be $80, the Slender Man expansion will be
$50 and the Lonely Tree expansion will be $60.
The Satan twins had been extended AGAIN. This is the
final time they are being extended and they will end TODAY. So it you want them
this is your last moment to get them. However their store is running low of
everything else. Only the Experiment of Death, 54mm Twilight Knight Pinup, the
Pinup White Speaker, the White Speaker, the Pinup Great Game Hunter and the
54mm Pinup Preacher. Luckily the Pinups of Death box set is back in stock
again.
And on personal news the delivery I missed on
Saturday was my Kingdom Death order, so I have the Satan Twins and Pinups of
Death box set.
Next is the Crooked Dice Games news. They just got
the masters for all the May releases are in and they are in production. No clue
when they will be out yet, however the United Radionics starter set is out now.
It contains Lancelot Cray, Lionel, Man In The Lead Lined Suit, five United
Radionics Minions with UR helmet heads, an United Radionics Minion with Flamethrower,
an United Radionics Dog Handler, a Dog and a Security Robot.
Now for the Cool Mini or Not news. With Arcadia
Quest this week we got painted images of Chooloo and Pigsy. With Guillotine
Games (the people behind Zombicied) we got an image of a sculpt for a folk of
birds. Are these for Zombicied or a new game they are working on? We currently
do not know.

| Are these coming to Zombicide Season Three? |
Next is the Privateer Press news. This week they
revealed that they are doing a ton of pin badges. Sadly Convergence did not get
any, not even the logo.
Also this week we got the list for the August 2014 releases.
These are: The Mercenary Character Unit Alexia Ciannor and the Risen; the Mercenary
Cephalyx Warcaster Exulon Thexus; the Mercenary Cephalyx Heavy Monstrosity that
can be built into a Subduer, a Warden or a Wrecker; the Cephalyx Mercenary Unit
Cephalyx Mind Bender and Drudges; the Trollkin Unit Trollkin Runeshapers; the Trollblood
Heavy Warbeast Earthborn Dire Troll; the Legion Light Warbeast Nephilim
Bloodseer; the Minion Unit Gatormen Posse; the Warmachine High Command
Expansion pack called “Colossal Warfare”; and LEVEL 7 [INVASION]. However there
is no official date for the second half of the May release yet on their site.
Lastly there is the Elven
Adventurers KickStarter news. They are still waiting on the last three
miniatures from the caster.
