Gaming News from Neoscream: 27th June 2014

Dwarf King's Quest Barbarian

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 of there is the Stonehaven Miniatures. Their “Pop-Up Miniature Terrain Kit” KickStarter is still going strong. Goodies unlocked since last week’s post were: Hedge Rows; a Rocky Field; colour versions upgrades; a Frost; an Adventuring Gear Depot; and the Spells and Alchemy Shops.

Stretch Goals still left when I posted this post were: A Long Lonesome Highway at $27.5k; and a Bridge over Troubled Waters at $30k.

This KickStarter will be ending on Sunday so let us see what can be unlocked between now and then.

Next is the Mantic news. Due to the low demand for the Retro US Soldiers, Mantic will not be making the miniatures now. Instead they have made a deal with Warlord Games. They will be replacing with Bolt Action US Soldiers instead.

Also Dwarf King's Horde four will be called Dwarf King's Quest now, most likely due to the fact that it will be more like Hero Quest and Warhammer Quest.

Now for the Ninja Division news. With Super Dungeon Explore we got new CAD images of the Hero Survivor Marie-Claude and the Claws of the Wyrm Warband, and we also got a final copy of the cover art of the box and rulebook for Forgotten King.

With Robotech RPG Tactics the faction dice and Zentraedi mecha are being manufactured and painted. The decal sheets are being printed, or about to start. The Rulebook, packaging and other print items have been approved. And the UEDF mecha are all done with initial tooling for new prototypes.

Next is the Mechadrome Heavy Metal Combat KickStarter news. Goodies unlocked so far since last week’s post were: Nothing.

Painted Light and Medium mechs for Mechadrone

Stretch Goals still left when I posted this post were: The backers can choose to add for free ever two Hazards or Objective markers to the on pledges of $100 or more at $10k; the Light Mech Trion at $13k; Terran Heavy Mechs which stand 10mm tall at $16k; the Medium Mech Omega Centauri at $20k; also at $20k all backers of $100 or more will gain one free light mech of their choose; and Bionic Light Mech(s) at $25k.

This KickStarter will be ending on Wednesday so let us see what can be unlocked between now and then.

Now for the Interface Zero news. This week we got images of the Standard and Limited Edition versions of physical copies of the book. These were advance copies, the backer copies are still in shipment from the manufactures.

Kingdom Death Monster Sneak Peek

Next is the Cool Mini or Not news. It has finally been revealed that the Zombicide Season Three KickStarter will start on Sunday (or maybe Monday for the UK). Also the all new Zombicide App is out now in the iStore. The Android version should be out soon.

With Arcadia Quest we got a printed image of Nibbles.
