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. Sorry about this post being late compared
to normal
“Blog News”
There is no “Painting and Converting” this week and
maybe next week due to work and XCOM Enemy Within which I have just finished.
“Gaming News”
First off we have the HeroClix news. We got previews
of: Exodia the Forbidden One from Yu-Gi-Oh Series Three; and Alexis, Ultron-1,
Vision, Tess-One and Machine Man from Marvel Age of Ultron Event.
Next
is the Mantic news. With DreadBall Xtreme, the Player Manual is available as a
PDF now. They have revealed a major change to what they were planning. All
Sponsors can use the All-Stars rules that was meant to be Eclipse's special.
She is now going to be a MVP for the Challenge Cup instead of a Sponsor. But
there is nothing stopping you from using her or any other MVP, coach or
cheerleader as a custom Sponsor as tgere are rules to make your own Sponsor.
Sweet! My AJ Lee miniature can be a Sponsor. Oh and wave three should start
shipping to backers this coming Monday.
Now for the Ninja Division news. Here is an update of
the Super Dungeon Explore The Forgotten King wave two shipping news. With the
US and Canada, their ships have just arrived at dock. With Asia, the fulfilment
to backers is continuing, but the bulk of it has arrived. With the UK and the
EU, the ships are still on the water and has been delayed. It should arrive at
port in England and Germany on the 1st of July. Lastly with Australia, the ship
has left however there is no estimated arrival.
With Robotech RPG Tactics, the Important Notice about
the Comanchero Helicopter has been removed from the KickStarter backers
preorder as it will be done at a later date. Backers can now vote on the scale
discussion.
Next is the Zero Agents news. The reason I posted this
post late is this KickStarter, as it finished 9PM BST. It made $93,650 with 801
backers. Since last week they have manage to unlock: The Mystic Arts Expansion as an add-on; the Candy and Cola Zero Agent
asan add-on; Elite Operative Four; Elite Operative Five; Agent 10 Virgo; Agent
11 Sagittarius; Elite Operative Six; and Elite Operative Seven.
The Stretch goals that they never finished were Elite
Operative Eight and what looks like a new boss. However they will be added them
as add-ons and Elite Operative Eight. Extra money made from the Pledge Manager
will go to the stretch goals being added to to the Pledge levels and extra
tiles to the two expansions and the scenario.
Now for the Privateer Press news. Last Wednesday saw
the release of: The Warmachine Reckoning book; the Khador Unit Iron Fang
Pikemen/Black Dragons with Unit Attachment; the Circle Cavalry Unit Tharn Wolf
Riders; the Skorne Heavy Warbeast Extreme Titan Gladiator; the No Quarter
Presents special “Forces of Distinction”; and the Retribution of Scyrah Army
Box.
Next is the Cool Mini or Not news. With the Zombicide
Black Plauge KickStarter, it is still going strong. It is currently at tenth
place in the top twenty non-computer gaming KickStarters.
Since last week’s post they have managed to unlock: The KickStarter exclusive survivor Paul

Apprentice Milo added to both pledge levels; three more value cards added to

sets as add-ons; both the NPC one and two box sets as add-ons; a Black Plague
version of the Murder of Crowz box set; and a set of Red Custom Dice as an

The stretch goals that are still going as I post this
are: Nothing at the moment as the last one was just done.
Now for the Demigods Rising news. Since last week's
post they have managed to unlock: The
sixth Demigod the Angel of Song from Angelarium.
The stretch goals that are still going as I post this
are: The seventh Demigod the Angel of
Death from Middara at $40k.
Next is the
Battle System news. It is on the ship
to the UK and it should arrive in the UK on the 16th of July.
Now for the DAC: Dungeon Architect Cards news. It has
started shipping to backers two months ahead of schedule. WTF! A KickStarter
that is ahead of schedule is unheard of, and by two months. WOW!
Congratulations.
Next is the Thunderbirds Co-operative Board Game news.
This week they have revealed the images of the bottom box and the token sheet.
Now for the Yashima: Legend of the Kami Master news.
The ships have left now and the stuff should be shipping off to backers by the

set one is finally out. It in fact came out just after last week’s post.
