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

Motorcycle and Avengers Sky-Cycle from Marvel Nick Fury Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D..
Now
for the Mantic news. The long awaited Warpath KickStarter started on Monday.
This is their Sci-Fi Massive battle game. Oddly there are only three faction
in it so far Enforcers, Forge Fathers and Veer-myn. Where the hell are the
standard Corporation grunts and Marauders, the back bone of the past versions
of the game? Maybe they will get unlocked later on in the campaign like with the Plague. Anyway, there are two main pledge levels which are Warfare and
Advances Warfare. Warfare is $50 and it started with the Rulebook, the Source
Book the Firefight Rulebook and a set of Warpath dice. Advances Warfare is $125
and will get you everything in Warfare, your chose of one hard plastic vehicle and
ever the two player starter set “Operation Heracles” or a Battlegroup of ever
Enforcers, Forge Fathers and Veer-myn.
Since starting they have managed to
unlock: The game was funded; the rulebook
was upgrades; the KickStarter Exclusive sculpt of Enforcer Lt. Roca was added
to Operation Heracles and the Enforcer
