Gaming News from Neoscream: 15th May 2015

Welcome to the “Gaming News from Neoscream”. This is my weekly gaming news post for miniature games, RPGs, some card games, my painting and upcoming local events.



“Gaming News”

First off we have the HeroClix news. We got previews of: B. Skull Dragon, Magician of Faith and Witch of the Black Forest from Yu-Gi-Oh Series Three; and She-Hulk and Black Panther from Marvel Age of Ultron Event.

Now for the Ninja Division news. With Ninja All-Stars, the pledge manager is up now.

Next is the Cool Mini or Not news. With Blood Rage, we got some images of first wave of production proofs, three figures from five of the clans.
With Zombicide Season Three, the missing container as arrived and now the remaining American and Canadian stuff should be shipping soon.

Now for the Thunderbirds Co-operative Board Game news. We finally got images of the new look board for the game.

Next is the Crooked Dice Games news. June will see the release of their Heroes Archetypes based on classic movie and TV characters.

Now for the Mantic news. First off is Dungeon Saga.  Last week we got previews of what the cards and rulebook pages will look like.
They were hoping to start shipping DreadBall Xtreme wave three by the end of May. But due to problems with the deluxe DreadBall pitch and the customisable DreadBall Xtreme pitch, it will most likely be the end of June. We also got painted image of the Crystallans team.
Mantic is also doing a BIG reveal week starting Monday. I have a strong feeling that it will be Warpath.

Next is the Stonehaven Miniatures news. There were still greens that they had not shown us yet, and now they have shown off the remaining greens or at least most of them.

Now for the Guild Ball news. They have posted organised play documents from running tournament now.

Next is the Dragon Tides news. This week we got images of the named characters from the box game. They are looking nice.

Lastly let us talk about a new KickStarter that started last weekend, Home Raiders. A 1:1 scale model game (they are not really miniatures due to the scale) where little folk from the Inner-space sneak in your home to battle for dominance! The model game for all ages and levels of expertise. There is only really one pledge level, Portal, that comes with the two player starter set and the KickStarter exclusive Gremlin figure RAF the Pilot.
SO far they have unlocked: The Game was funded; Lilliput Biker as an add-on; Gremlin Climbers as an add-on; foam packing added to the Two Player Starter Set and most likely the Faction Starter sets; the Faction “Lords of Dust” with their faction starter set as an add-on; a Lords of Dust Booster with the Priest and the Mummies as an add-on; the Faction “Fair Folk” with their faction starter set as an add-on; and a Fair Folk Booster with the Leprechaun and some Fauns as an add-on.
The stretch goal that was still going when I posted this was: The faction “Freeloaders” with their faction starter set as an add-on.

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.
