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: X-Head Cannon, Y-Dragon Head, XY-Dragon Canon, Z-Metal Tank XYZ-Dragon
Cannon from Yu-Gi-Oh Series Three; and Jocasta, Goliath and M.O.D.A.M. from
Marvel Age of Ultron Event.
 |
| The New Character Dash Board for Zombicide Black Plague |
Next is the Cool Mini or Not news. All week they have
been posting previews of the survivors from the new Zombicide Black Plague.
They have redone the character dash board in a very interesting way. The
KickStarter will now start on the 8th of June instead of the end of
May now.
Now
for the Mantic news. The season five of DreadBall is up for preorder.
Next is the Home Raiders news. They have unlocked since
last week’s post: A free Mortimer the Buccaneer if you spend £40 or more on the
KickStarter. The stretch goal that was still going when I posted this was: The faction “Freeloaders” with their faction
starter set as an add-on at £30k; and a Freeloaders Booster with the Archivists
and the Keeper of the flaming stick as an add-on at £33k.
Now for the Wyrd Games news. This week we got not only
preview art for the new Snowstorm, but we also got images of the 3D render of
it.
Also keep your receipt when you spend $60 or more on
Wyrd products in your local gaming store during June. If you email Wyrd a photo
of your receipt before the 6th of July, they will send you a special edition
figure called Johana, who counts as an Outcast Johan. Also, from the stores we
have receipts for, two domestic and two international stores will be chosen
each week of the promotion to receive a package of special edition models.
Limit 1 reward per person. Rewards will be mailed
after completion of promotion.
Next is the Ninja Division news. There is a bit of
news for RoboTech RPG Tactics. They plan on releasing wave two by the end of
the year and they are releasing three new convention exclusive figures for this
year. These are Miriya in a Super Veritech in Guardian mode, Breetai in Heavy
Armour and Grell in Male Power Armour. No worries fellow KickStarters that
backed it. These and last year's convention exclusives (Miriya and Max) will be
available to at to wave two on Pledge Manager in the future.
With Super
Dungeon Explore The Forgotten King, the stuff for wave two for Asia has cleared
customs and should be at the fulfilment house by now. So they should be
sending both wave one and two for Asia soon.
Now for the Last Saga news. By the sound of things the
metal models have begun production and the masters are heading back so that
they can start on the resin versions. Due to this I have push it back to July
on the KickStarter timetable.
Lastly here is a new KickStarter that was funded
within 24 hours, Zero Agents. With the rise of a powerful yet mysterious Shadow
Organisation, several countries send out their own Zero Agents to investigate.
Upon hearing that this organisation has already gathered dangerous intel, the
Zero Agents must infiltrate the enemy HQ and quickly hack into their systems
and recover the master plans. As a Zero Agent, your objective is to ensure you
have more intel than the others in order to give your Country the advantage in
the overall power struggle for leadership. Zero Agents is a tile and dice
based, one to five player game where you play as one of the Zero Agents, each
with their own unique set of skills. Hack computers that randomly appear while
fending off guards that continue to spawn in response to player dice rolls! But
do not worry, you will discover weapons you can fuse together in addition to
utilising your Agent's unique abilities. This game has a heavy anime style to
in and there are figures that come with for it, however they come separate from
the main game. Oh and all the characters and minions are female
There are two main pledge levels. The Zero Agent level
comes with just the base game, while the Full Mission level comes with the base
game, the KickStarter Exclusive expansion called “Silent Alarm” (that comes
with a new game play mode, a new agent called “Agent 008 – Aquarius”, the boss
“The Secretary”, the Kunoichi Minions, four new items and four new tiles),
miniatures for all the characters and minions and all unlocked stretches.
Since starting they have manage to unlock: Funded;
“Agent 006 – Leo”; “Agent 007 Taurus”; Elite Operative 2; the Elite Operatives
Minion Pack (currently five copies of Elite Operative 1 and five of Elite
Operative 2) as an add-on; “Agent 009 – Pisces”; “Agent 010 – Libra”; and the
"Cat Burglar " Scenario (comes with four new tiles and several trap
tokens).
With the stretch goals all they revealed that there is
one at $55k, $60k, $65k and $70k, as well as a dark picture for the $55k goal.
No other details. I have included a picture of the stretch goals to show off what I am talking about.
