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: Ronin, Trick Shot, Manifold, Thor, the Thor clone Ragnarok, Abyss, Ex
Nihilo and Immortus from Marvel Avengers Assemble.
Now for the Ninja Division news. The Ninja All Stars
KickStarter has ended. They made $531,829 with 3,282 backers. The goals unlock
since last week’s post were: The Ronin
Blind Swordsman as an add-on; six more Lanterns were added to both pledge
levels; the Ronin Inu of Clan Kaiken was added to both pledge levels; the Ronin
Yokozuna as an add-on; an extra Oni was added to each clan; the Sun Empire
Wandering Samurai as an add-on; the Ronin Onibaba was added to both pledge
levels; the Spirit Shrine Team and the Earth Shrine team as an add-on; the
Ronin Ondori of Clan Kaiken was added to both pledge levels; the Ronin Benkei
was added to both pledge levels; the Ronin Miyamoto Musashi as an add-on; the
Ronin Moon Princess was added to both pledge levels; and the Ronin Goemon was
added to both pledge levels.
The only Stretch Goals that was not unlocked was the
Ronin Bakusho Mondai would have been added to both pledge levels at $550k.
Sadly I
decided to pull out during the weekend, back to a dollar due to money and
space. This is a game that if there was someone I know had it I would get myself
a team and a couple of Ronin, but not another game.
Also with
Super Dungeon Explore, wave one is completed shipping to the USA, Canada, UK,
and South America. With the EU and Africa are currently being shipped to
backers. With Asia and now New Zealand, the wave one stuff will ship with wave
two. With wave two, all the containers are being packed and should leave China
on the 1st of May to the warehouses.
Next is the Cool Mini or Not news. The Zombicide
Season Three KickStarter stuff is still having problems shipping stuff to the
USA, Canada, South America, and Africa backers due to several containers being
held up due to port strikes. These containers have the second VIP Zombies set,
the Murder of Crows set and the KickStarter exclusive survivor Miss Trish. Due
to the fact that they do not know when they will get them, they are shipping
the stuff that was meant for retail release to the Warehouse to send to
backers. However this does not cover the KickStarter exclusive survivor Miss
Trish. With her they are producing another run and then having it air shipped
to the warehouse. This all will take about two weeks hopefully.
With Blood Rage, the pledge manager is up now.

| The Mechanites team |
Also Cool Mini or Not has started a new Kickstarter this week. Sadly I had not gotten around to write about it this week, but hopefully I will next week.
Now
for the Mantic news. The next Mantic Open Day is May 16th. Sadly due
to the taking time off just before it, I sadly will be missing it again. Well
that is life.
DreadBall we
got previews of the More previews today with the first showing of the Mechanites
team and the Kovossian Mutant Plague team. We also got PDF playtest rules for
them, the Crystallan team and for “Hacking and Reputation”.

Next is the Yashima: Legend of the Kami Master news.
The pledge manager is up now.
Now for the Demigods Rising news. They have been
having some major problems with Titan Forge who products their resin figures.
So much they have fired the company and hired Prodos Games to do them instead.
Prodos Games are responsible for the new version of Warzone and in the middle
of bringing the Aliens verses Predictor war game to us. With all the problems
the game has been push back from July to December. Also there will be a Second
KickStarter called Demigods Rising Evolution. Prodos Games have redone the
heroes and demigods in sculps, some with alternate parts for different weapon
or ability options. There will be an option to upgrade you game from the
plastics from the original KickStarter to the new resin figures at a heavy
discounted price.
Next is the OVA news. The rulebook and other printed
stuff have arrived at theirs and should be shipping soon to backers.
Now for the Journey: Wrath of Daemons news. If things
go to the latest plans the stuff should arrive in the US backers between June
26th and July 16th. The EU should be between 10th
and 30th of June. Asia should get theirs before anyone one else.
Next is the
Battle System news. They have
revealed that they will be doing another KickStarter in autumn. This will be a
Post Apocalypse terrain set like their past sets.

| Fire Girl Misaki |
Lastly the “Anime Miniatures” KickStarter is back. The
first attempted failed sadly, but they have learnt from their mistakes. Instead
of trying to fund a dozen figures at once, they chose one major figure, Fire
Girl Misaki. Since starting they have unlocked: Misaki as the KickStarter
starting goal was made; Tami as an add-on; and Kenziee as an add-on.
The stretch goals that are still going as I post this
are: Ever Eldondale and a bundle deal of Eldondale and the other two add-ons as
add-ons at $1,150.

“Painting and Converting”
This post I have for you one more Mantic BattleZone
Terrain Urban sprue, Mantic BattleZone Terrain Fort sprue and three Goblin
Archers from Arcadia Quest. Due to the amount and the lack of connection from these sprues, I have decided the group photo up.
The next post should be a Goblin Archer and six Orc
Marauder all from Arcadia Quest.
