Welcome to the newly restructured “Gaming News from
Neoscream”. This is my weekly gaming news post for miniature games, RPGs, some
card games, my painting and now includes upcoming local events.
Just letting people know that there will be NO "Gaming with Neoscream" on Sundays now as the content of it has mostly be moved to the "Neoscream's Life" post, apart from the event dates section which has been moved to this post.
“Gaming News”
First off is
the HeroClix news. This week we get previews of two versions of Outsiders,
Shazam and Freddy Freeman from DC Justice League Trinity War.
Next is the Privateer Press news. Wednesday saw the
release of a ton of stuff from them which were: the Trollblood Trollkin Unit
Kriel Warriors with three Weapon Attachments, the Legion Warbeast Pack Blight
Wasps, the Legion Character Nephilim Heavy Warbeast Zuriel, Minion Farrow Unit
Farrow Bone Grinders, Official Area of Effect Ring Markers for both Warmachine
and Hordes and issue 58 of their No Quarter magazine.
I have found out the news of the deals of the All-In
One army deals did come from their website, but under news then products/new
releases which I was checking.
This week we also got preview images of two new
Warmachine products. These were the Mercenary Privateer Sea Dog Character Unit,
the Devil’s Shadow Mutineers; and the Retribution Character Light Myrmidon,
Moros.
Now
the Mantic news. Wave three of Deadzone should finish shipping from their
warehouse by the end of today and that is it for Deadzone, until the second
KickStarter.
Wave
two of DreadBall Xtrme stuff, which will be the DreadBall Season Four stuff,
will be starting shipping soon.
The Pledge Manager for Dungeon Saga
Is now done and backers should be receiving emails to enter the Pledge Manager
next week. They are using a new system that will do all their KickStarters.
Sadly still be word on the second Kings of War Pledge Manager.
Next is the Journey: Wrath of Daemons news. Due to
problems with changing printers, the first wave will now be shipping in March
at the earliness.

| Stonehaven Miniatures Half-Orc Barbarian |
Now for the Ninja Division news. With Robotech RPG
Tactics things have been getting delayed. Due to problems with shipping (like
delays on the delays on the shipping crate arriving, the ship arriving and leave),
they have only just shipped the stuff on sea for their Europe backers to their
UK warehouse (well Battle Foams one) this week. It should arrive mid-February.
With Australia, they are currently waiting are the shipping container so they
can ship the stuff to their backers overseas. They are hoping it will arrive to
their Australia warehouse by LATE February or March, but due to strikes this
might be delayed. I have listed this as March on the “KickStarter Dates”
section because of this. For the rest of the world apart from USA and Canada
who have their stuff, their stuff will be shipped directly to them after the
Australia stuff is sent to sea. This will ship from them much faster, however
there will be duty tax and other shipping delays. No real date on this, however
I would make a guess on February/March time, more likely March.
Next is the Stonehaven Miniatures news. They are
finally back to making greens for their Half-Orc Adventurers KickStarter and
have shown off the green for the Half-Orc Barbarian.
Now for the Knight Miniatures news. Last week I forgot
to say that pre-orders for the physical rulebook for the Batman Miniatures are
up now. If you get the standard edition you will get an exclusive Alfred
miniature and if you order the limited edition Joker cover from their website
you get a Joker version of the Red Hood.
Also this week they reviled that they are releasing a
TV version Arrow figure. He comes with two heads. One with the hood up and one with the hood down. Sweet. I have to get that with their League of Shadows
pack they release not too long ago. Hope they will be doing more characters from the TV shows.
Lastly is the Interface Zero news. The Japan: Empire
of the Setting Sun add-on is now finished and available to download from Drivethru
RPG.
