Welcome to the new Neoscream's Life post. This is a weekly post of
what games I have been playing and what I have watch. Sorry for another late
post.
“Wargames Workshop MK Monday”
On Monday last week I went down to Wargames Workshop MK to continue
our campaign of Arcadia Quest. We played “The Orc’s Hive” scenario. Bob was the
clear winner of the scenario and he chose "The Manor" as the next
scenario (which we played this week).
After the game Bob had to go so me, Adrian and Michael had a game
of Batman Love Letter, the first to five points. I managed to cream them.
After that I had a game of Cardfight Vanguard with Keaton with my
Dimension Police Dimensional Robo deck. He destroyed me.
“HeroClix”
On
Thursday I went down to York House for HeroClix. We finally got to do the
"Daemon in the Bottle” scenario. 500 points. Team must contain an Iron Man
at the start of the game roll 2d6 and Iron Man is affect by the following effect
until 2D6 are rolled again. Once per turn any player can spend a power action
to force their own or their opponents Iron Man to Re-Roll 2D6:
2-3 Hammer Hacked (Opponent Gives Iron Man an
action as a free action at the start of controlling players turn).
4-6 System Errors (Iron Man can't be given
power actions and modifies all stats by -2).
7 Trouble on the Horizon (Power Actions required Double Power
Actions modify all stats by -1).
8-10 "Demon in the bottle” (Iron Man loses
all TA & Keywords and modifies all stats by -2).
11-12 In control of his 'Demons' (no effects).
I
went for the cheapest Iron Man with the Avengers keyword and built an Avengers
themed team mostly using my new figures from Marvel Avengers Assemble.

the first round I was up against Adrian who was also using an Avengers themed
team who were:

AVAS010 Echo

Like
normal against Darren S, I lost the game, but I was over the moon as I took out
Captain America (oh and I also took out Wasp too). On the third and final round
I Michael who was using a Stark Industries themed team who were:

IIM016 Pepper Potts

IIM029A War Machine
300
IIM001A Iron Man
=497
points
I
managed to win this game with ease making it two wins out of three games.
This
Thursday we should be (unless things change) the “The Reservists”. Named theme
teams only, 400 points build plus each team will also have up to 400 points of
‘Reservists’. Essentially a sideline of characters with the same keyword as the
main team. No characters may have the same name in both teams. When a character
is KOed from your main team, you may, on your turn, use an action(s) from your
action pool 1 per full 100 points added to bring in a Reservist(s) figure from
your sideline. This character is now a permanent part of your force until KOed
itself or removed from play by some other game effect. This Reservist is
limited by the point limited of 400 points, so that you may only bring in
character(s) to take your force up to 400 points. Reservist may be placed in
any legal square adjacent to one of your existing figures, or within your
starting area. This reservist may take actions immediately and does/does not
have first turn immunity.
“Cardfight
Vanguard"
On
Saturday I went to Wargames Workshop MK after a brief coffee with my mates, to
play some Cardfight Vanguard. I had totally rebuilt my deck on Thursday before
going to HeroClix as I received a ton of new cards in the post. My new deck was
many now mainly a Dimension Police Cosmic Heroes deck. With the format being
Extreme and Free-fight where you have permission to mix clans in decks and
G-decks. I also had a grade three Link Joker and two non-Dimension Police
G-Units (more for G-Assist) due to the mix clan rules. I managed to get ten
games in, winning half of them. There will be a Sneak Peek event at the store
this coming Sunday for the new set G Booster Set 3 “Sovereign Star Dragon”, but
sadly I will not be able to make it as I am working.
"Borderlands
2"
On
Saturday night me, Darren H and Simon got together online to play some
Borderlands 2. They were much higher up level than me as I have not really
played the game. To be honest I was terrible but I did improve. I was Gaige the
Mechromancer, while Darren was Zer0 the Number and Simon was Krieg the Psycho.
“Loot
Crate”
On
Thursday my June Loot Crate arrived. The theme this time was Cyber. Basically
anything Robot and computer based. In the crate this time was:
An
Exclusive Transformers T-shirt of Optimus Prime in a Tron style.
An
Exclusive Nerd HQ Sticker Sheet.
A
large Exclusive Borderlands ZerO Game Mat which I first used on Saturday to
play Borderlands 2.
A
half scale Exclusive Terminator Genisys Endo Skull Replica.
An
Exclusive Terminator Genisys Brain Chip Keychain
A
Future Replicant Corporate Logo Patch
A
Battlestar Galactica Cylon Target Poster Set
A
Exclusive Glow in the Dark Circuit
Gadget Pouch
The
June 2015 Badge.
The
June 2015 Magazine
It
was a great crate. July's theme will be their first ever sequel theme, Heroes
2. By the sound of things it will be DC and Zelda heavy and there will be an
exclusive figure.
“Painting and Converting”
It is back, the "Painting and Converting" section is back
and for this post I have the MVP Galdo and three Rebs Players from DreadBall.
On Friday's post I should have at least two BattleZones terrain
spues. I managed to finish painting last week three more zombies for Zombicide.
Yes I know, not really much, but I was busy last week. I am hoping to make up
for it this week.
Here is a reminder of the details for the Wargames Workshop MK
Painting Contest. Figures must be a Monster or a Machines and be on a
50mm/60mm, however odd shape and slightly bigger based, but only if the Carl or
Keaton allows it. Figures must be handed in by the 19th of July.
