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.
“Blog News”
There is a bit of quite on the news front as Gencon is
this week. Hopeful there will be a ton of news next week.
“Gaming News”
First off we have the HeroClix news. We got previews
of: Contessa Valentina, Madame Hydra and Golden Claw from Marvel Nick Fury
Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D..
Now
for the Mantic news. DreadBall Xtreme wave three will first shipping soon.
However I just learnt that people who backed both King of War Second Edition
and DreadBall Xtreme will have to wait until King of War Second Edition wave
one ships which should start shipping next.
Next is the Ninja Division news. We have shipping news
update for Super Dungeon Explore Forgotten King wave two. The United States
backers stuff has all ship. With Canada, it took their fulfilment centre longer
than thought anticipated to get product and sort it. They should have started
shipping this week. With the United Kingdom, shipping is almost all shipments. There
is a palette that contained Emerald Valley and a small amount of other assorted
products did not arrive. With the EU, unpacking the crates and sorting the
orders has taken longer than anticipated. They are currently working on sorting
the orders and shipping. With Australia, like the UK, some items failed to make
it on the boat from China. However, the fulfilment centre is holding the orders
so they can fulfil them all at once.
Now for the Battle System news. Their Fantasy Dungeon
Terrain has start shipping and I got my
Next is the Wyrd Games news. This week we got a look
at the artwork for the Emissary models.
Now for the Stonehaven Miniatures news. They are back
on KickStarter again, however it is next the Board game. This time it is “Halfling
Adventurers Miniatures”. They are still working on Stonehaven Peacekeeper's
Oath and beta rules and cards for it are available to download. “Halfling
Adventurers Miniatures” is doing well and they have unlocked since starting
were: The project was funded; a Halfling Paladin; Second Breakfast Bits; a
Halfling Druid; a Grippli Wizard at $10k; a Halfling Apprentice; a Halfling
Bard; a Halfling Mage; a Halfling Digger; a Halfling Potion Maker; a Halfling
Lorekeeper; and a Halfling Linkman.
The stretch goals that are still going on: A Halfling
Ranger at $15k; a Halfling General $17k; and a Grippli Herald at $18k.
Next is the Kingdom Death news. They are for the first
time ever at Gen Con as a company demoing the game. OK EVERYONE is demoing
there games there (even Games Workshop for the first time too). But I am really
hype for Kingdom Death Monster. Also they have a brand new hard plastic
miniature debuting exclusively at Gen Con. It is a Sci-Fi version of the
Twilight Knight pinup. They could not resist sending some iconic designs to
space. It will appear on their web store sometime after Gencon. I have only
seen the artwork and I am not a fan of it, the breast are far far too big.
Now for the “Anime Miniatures” KickStarter news. It
has started shipping which is a major shock as it was meant to ship in October.
Another early KickStarter. WOW.
Next is the Exploding Kittens news. It has started
shipping, only just on time.
Lastly we have some long await Mekton Zero news. They
are still working on the book. Well the file format as it is for too big. It
looks like things are fixed now, or at least close to and they promise weekly
updates now.
