| Oracle Think Tank |
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 the late post.
“Wargames Workshop MK Monday”
On Monday last week I went down to Wargames Workshop MK to play a
game of Arcadia Quest. To check myself, Bob won the last game of Arcadia Quest.
He choose the "The University Plaza" mission. I ended up winning the
mission quicker than everyone thought.
Michael's Maya had a really bad day while my Montoya ruled. Maya
(like the stupid brat she was painted after) stupidly ran up to an orc armed
with melee weapon (when her ability makes her great with spells). She failed to
kill the orc, but the orc killed her with its attack back. After she got
resurrected, my Montoya (Sean Connery - Highlander) portalled in killing her, Michael’s Sonja and a big
nasty Beastman, with just one blow due to Cleave II. He then drunk a potion
that gives him another activation which he went off to over kill two sisters
and a goblin archer with one blow again.
The next game of Arcadia Quest will be the last of the campaign.
“HeroClix”
On
Thursday I went down to York House for HeroClix. "Men (or Women) without
Fear". Marvel Knights, Heroes 4 Hire, Gotham City/Underworld, etc. 500
points with three Actions. No figure over 150 points. No figures with
fantastical powers, for example shooting lightning bolts from their eyes, but
electrical charges from a gun or power suit is fine. I decided to build a team
around the brothers of archery. No not Green and Red Arrow, real life (in
comics) brothers Hawkeye and Trick Shot. As the only keyword they both shared
was Thunderbolts, it ended up being a Thunderbolts themed team who were:
Hawkeye
(002 Marvel Avengers Assemble) 85 + Thunderbolts (ATA) 8 = 93
Trick
Shot (048 Marvel Avengers Assemble) 104 + Thunderbolts (ATA) 8 = 112
Crossbones
(009 Marvel Invincible Iron Man) 79 + Thunderbolts (ATA) 8 = 87
Ghost
(036 Marvel Invincible Iron Man) 65 + Thunderbolts (ATA) 8 = 72
Dreadknight
(106 Marvel Invincible Iron Man) 106 + Thunderbolts (ATA) 8 = 114
=478
points
Side
bench
Hawkeye
(039 Marvel Chaos War)
Yes
I did use this team the other week against Darren S as I had it built for this
and it let me test the team (which it lost the game it was in). In the first
round I was up against Darren S who was using a Heroes for Hire themed team who
were:
Shang-Chi
(047 Marvel Deadpool) 90
Daredevil
(015 Marvel Deadpool) 108
Punisher
(032 Marvel Deadpool) 100
Falcon
(017 Marvel Avengers Assemble) 75
Luke
Cage (014 Marvel Captain America) 98
=471
points
Shock
horror, I won the game, but it was close for most of the game. On the second
round I was up against Adrian who was also using a Heroes for Hire themed team
who were:
Daredevil
(015 Marvel Deadpool) 108 + Heroes for Hire (ATA) 8 = 116
Elektra
(031 Marvel Deadpool) 115 + Heroes for Hire (ATA) 8 = 123
Shang-Chi
(012 Marvel Avenges) 58 + Heroes for Hire (ATA) 8 = 66
Black
Knight (031 Marvel Chaos War) 90 + Heroes for Hire (ATA) 8 = 98
Iron
Fist (007 Marvel Fear Itself) 80 + Heroes for Hire (ATA) 8 = 88
=491
points
Due
to the poor luck of rolling double ones, Adrian quite it the middle of our game
making me the winner. On the third and final round I was up against Michael who
was using a non-themed team who were:
Bruce
Wayne (037b DC Batman) 95
Catwoman
(002 DC Justice League Trinity War) 99
Deadshot
(005 DC 75th Anniversary) 89
Firefly
(027 DC Arkham Asylum) 68
Owlman
(002 DC Justice League Trinity War Fast Forces) 150
=501
points
I
managed to win this game too. So I managed to win all three games. Wow.
Next
week’s scenario will be a Standard 500 points. Bring one or more teams.
“Silver
Age Sentinels"
On
Friday me, Richard and Darren H went to Simon’s for a game of Silver Age
Sentinels D20. We had to find the stolen device, which meant we had to find the
thief who stole it, but first we had to find the detective who was sent to find
the thief. Luckily the search for the detective lead to finding the thief and
the captured detective. Sadly the thief has sold the device on but she did give
us details on who she sold it to. At the end of the session Simon said we can
level up and do some things to characters like my character's area effect whip.
"Cardfight Vanguard Tournament"
On Saturday I went down to Wargames Workshop MK for a Cardfight
Vanguard tournament. We were playing four rounds of best of three games (but
with a time limit) and then a top four knockout. In the first round I was up
against a Kagerō player and I lost the first two games losing the round. On the
second round I was up against a Link Joker player and I won the first two games
winning the round. On the third round I was up against a female Gear Chronicles
player and I won the first two games winning the round. On the fourth and final
round before the top four I was up against a female Pale Moon play. We each won
one game and due to time we were not able to play a third game so it ended up
as a draw. Sadly I did not get into the top four, but I get high enough to win
a booster pack of "G-BT03 Sovereign Star Dragon" and I got two promo
cards.
"Painting and Converting"
For this post I have for you all are five Rebel DreadBall players.
On Friday's post I should have for you all two Rebel tokens, Brute
Force and a player for the special team I am built for DreadBall as well as a
BattleZone Terrain sprue. I only managed to finish five zombies for Zombicide
this week. Sadly not much as I was building a bunch of figures and doing a bit
of modelling. Below is an image of my painting table at the end of last Sunday
night (or the start of Monday morning).
