Build Analysis: Revisited Part One

Welcome everybody to the first ever Build Analysis Revisited posts. This is basically me revisiting several of my old Build Analysis posts and doing an update on them. This will be covering the first three Cardfight Vanguard decks I posted which are: Dimensional Robos, Cosmic Heroes and Nova Grapplers.

First off is the first of my Dimension Police decks, Dimensional Robos. For those who missed the post here is a link to it. Since the post I have changed one G-unit. I have been using "Super Cosmic Hero, X-rogue" instead of "Super Cosmic Hero, X-falcon", but was planning on replacing it with "Super Cosmic Hero, X-tiger" when ever I got round to getting one. However I have seen a new grade four coming in Fighter's Collection 2016, that would work well with how things go in my games. The card is called "Super Cosmic Hero, X-phoenix". Basically, if your attack is 35k or higher and you missed with you attack, Counter Blast one to draw a card. With Commander Laurel on the field, my opponents rarely lets my Vanguard's attack to hit so the draw effects that my Vanguards normal have never come into play as I need to hit to draw. So X-phoenix might change things. There might be other changes (bigger ones) coming to the deck in the not to distant future, however I will talk about that after Cosmic Heroes.

Next there is my second of the Dimension Police decks, Cosmic Heroes. For those who missed the post here is a link to it. Sadly nothing has changed since the post as I have been using the Dimensional Robos deck than the Cosmic Heroes deck and I still have not gotten around to buying any X-tigers, however the deck is expecting some major changes in the not too distant future.

Before moving on to the Nova Grappler, there is something that will effect both the Dimension Police decks. The next main set, G-BT07 "Glorious Bravery of Radiant Sword", will contain new Dimension Police cards. There will be new support for Gallop (Cosmic Heroes) which includes a new Stride version of Gallop called "Super Cosmic Hero, X-gallop". There is no word if there will be any Dimensional Robos support, but I would guess that there will be at least a couple of cards. I am hoping for a G format grade three Daikaiser and/or a Dimensional Robos grade one Stride fudder that searches for a grade three Kaiser and/or a G-Guardian for Dimension Police (Dimensional Robos mainly).

Now for the third revisited deck, Nova Grapplers. For those who missed the post here is a link to it. With the release of G-BT06 "Transcension of Blade and Blossom" and playing with what what I currently have the deck has changed the deck I wanted to build. It is still a Extreme Battler deck, but now with more Extreme Battlers and support for Victor, Extreme Battler's main grade three who now has a grade four version. Here is what the deck I plan on building looks like at the moment:

Grade Four
Meteokaiser, Vic-Ten x2
Meteokaiser, Tribrut x2
Meteokaiser, Victor x4

OK, there is no change here as I already knew about the Stride version of Victor when I did the other post.

Grade Three
Exxtreme Battler, Victor x4
Exxtreme Battler, Danshark x4

Replacing Raybird with Danshark is not a hundred percent set in stone. Let us see if Danshark does help or not. I might even look at re-adding Gold Rutile.

Grade Two
Extreme Battler, Arbarail x2
Extreme Battler, Gunzork x2
Extreme Battler, Kenbeam x1
Cool Hank x2
Extreme Battler, Sazander x4

Both Magical Gambler and sadly the Starlight Hedgehog (if you do not know, my favourite animal is the Hedgehog) were dropped for the new Extreme Battler support. The Kenbeam might get changed for a third copy of ever Arbarail or Gunzork or Hank. Just need some play testing to find out which would be better for me.

Grade One
Final Wrench x4
Extreme Battler, Arashid x3
Lady Cyclone x4 or Extreme Battler, Headstrong-battle x4
Extreme Battler, Malyaki x3

Not really any changes here. However I still thinking of which to go for. Lady Cyclone or Headstrong-battle as my Perfect Guard.

Grade Zero
Extreme Battler, Runbhol (starter) x1
Ring Girl, Clara (heal) x2
Ring Girl, Ai (heal) x2
Extreme Battler, Break-pass (critical) x4
Battleraizer (stand) x3
Energy Girl (stand) x4
Turboraizer (stand) x1

The only change here I have done was to replace Zanbhara with Break-pass due to the effect. The Heals are really be any Nova Grappler heal trigger as the is none with abilities or with Extreme Battler in the name.

As I am writing this I only have the cards I got from the Sneak Peek. I have sadly not been able to get to Wargames Workshop MK since the release. Hopefully I can start building it soon.

Well that is all for now. Please any feedback on these decks would be appreciated. The next Build Analysis post should be an analysis of my Touken Ranby deck.


Until next time, enjoy life.

Neoscream's Life: 21st to 27th of March 2016

Welcome everybody to another the Neoscream's Life post. This is my weekly post of life, what games I have been playing, what I have been painting and what I have watching and reading. This week's opening pictures are of the Flower Knight.

"Life"

I did not manage to do any gaming on Monday at Wargames Workshop MK as no one was up for a game of Warmachine, Malifaux or Frostgrave against my. But I did pop into the store for some undercoat which I forget to buy the Sunday before.

Due to problems at work I could not do HeroClix on Thursday like normal and as I needed to have Friday off to do stuff with my mates, I have to sacrifice my Saturday off so I could not go to the Cardfight Vanguard Tournament or pick up a box of the new set G-BT-06 "Transcension of Blade and Blossom". I have not clue on when I can get it as the store is closed on Monday this week so there is no Monday game again.

On Friday I went to Richard's with Darren H and Simon. We played a game of Britannia that took all day like normal with that game. Darren H won the game and I came a close second.

"Loot Crate"

March's Loot Crate for 2016 arrived in the post during the week. This moth's theme was Verses. In the crate this time was:

AVP Aliens vs. Predator Vinyl Figure.
Marvel Daredevil and Punisher Reversible Hat.
Harley Quinn Comic Book.
Batman vs. Superman Dawn of Justice Mighty Wallet.
Quantum Mechanix Mirror, Mirror Star Trek T-Shirt.
The Monthly Magazine.
The Monthly Pin.

This is not a picture of the stuff "I" received, but it is what I got.

It was not that great of a Crate time. The lack of Captain America Civil War stuff with a Harley Quinn comic that seem to not have any reason to be it the crate is a bit of a let down. I am not saying the comic is bad, but it is not really in the theme of the crate. My favourite items were the t-shirt and the hat.

April's theme will be "Quest".

"Painting and Converting"

For this post I have for you all is two of my Cygnar Rangers from Warmachine rebased and three soldiers from the XCOM board game.

During the week I managed to finish painting two more Malifaux figures. I also undercoated an Arcadia Quest figure, a Kingdom Death Monster figure, and three Zombicide figures.

In the next "Gaming News from Neoscream" post I should have for you all three more Soldiers and five Interceptors from the XCOM board game.

Below is an image of my painting table at the end of last Sunday night or the start of Monday morning.

Neoscream's Life: 14th to 20th of March 2016

Welcome everybody to another the Neoscream's Life post. This is my weekly post of life, what games I have been playing, what I have been painting and what I have watching and reading. This week's opening pictures are of the Dung Beetle Knight.

"Life"

On Monday evening I went down to Wargames Workshop MK to continue our restarted Kingdom Death Monster campaign. Sadly there was no Bob or Will, but Adrian, Michael and Jackie all turned up. We first finished off the Settlement phase by building up some weapons and a second set of Rawhide Armour. We faced a level one White Lion and shockingly no one died. Not even in the following Settlement phase. We built a half set of Rawhide Armour and some more weapons so everybody had a weapon that was not a Founding Stone. This Campaign is going a little too well. I am just worried about how will the game screw us over later and how much will the Expansions I brought will change things.

After playing Kingdom Death Monster I got three games of Cardfight Vanguard with Jackie. She was using her beloved Touken Ranby deck while I tried out my Nova Grappler deck. So good close games and my Novas did much better than what I expected.

On Tuesday I went with my parents to see my Uncle (my mum's brother). Sadly he is dying and there is a chance that this will be the last time we see him. I was really good to see him.  It would have been nice to see my cousins too, but it is understandable as they were busy and it might have been too many people visiting my Uncle.

During the week I have picked up issue one of the Game of Thrones The Official Collector's Models as it was cheaper than normal and I liked the figure of Daenerys Targaryen. I did consider buying a second to repaint stone grey as a statue for Frostgrave. However I them remembered that status in the past (the Romans as an example) use to be painted, so why should I ruin a nice paint job and wast money on a second copy. OK technically the paintwork get damage over time as Frostgrave is an abandoned old place that has fallen to ruin, but it was a magical place. So let us just say that it as magical paint.

On over personal hobby news, I am heavy rethinking on how I am storing my Kingdom Death Monster stuff. I will still carry it in the monstrous box the game comes in more due to the board and tracks. However I do plan on replacing the tray with other ways of storage the components of the game. The gear cards, other cards that do not get shuffled into decks (Strange Resources for example) and printed extras like the promo beta stuff will be placed into a binder. With the release of the expansions the normal(ish) size cards storage on the tray is not enough and there was not enough hight to use the dividers. I will be trying to find card storage holders that can take the dividers and fit in the main box with easy, or build them myself. I would like to do a removable token tray to have the tokens on the table than in the box under the table. I am still thinking about the the lager cards and terrain pieces. Especially when I am planning on trying to build 3D terrain tokens in the future. It would be nice to get some feedback on this and ideas too.

On top of that I have been sleeving up my card. As I could not get any more clear Japanese size card sleeves, I decided to go down the coloured sleeves route. I am using Black on special AI cards, Yellow on Monster Resource cards, Red on Hit Location cards, Lime Green for Monster Hunt Event cards and clear for all other cards including special AI cards. OK it would be more ideal for Hit Location cards to be in Gray and Monster Hunt Event cards to be in Brown, however Wargames Workshop MK did not have those colours in stock in Japanese card game size. I still have not got everything sleeved up yet, but I do have spare yellow and lime green sleeves for the Expansions that I have on the way.

On Sunday as I had work I was not able to to do the Cardfight Vanguard Sneak Peek of G-BT-06 "Transcension of Blade and Blossom", however I did manage to finish early so I popped Wargames Workshop MK and managed to get six boosters of the new set. I also got some more games with my Nova Grappler deck. I did not manage to win with them, but I have managed to get some new cards for them and learnt more about what works in the deck and what does not. When I got home I looked at the new set more and to redo my deck. The new design (but sadly not the physical deck yet) will get shown off in the next Build Analysis post.

"HeroClix"

On Thursday I played some HeroClix with Darren S, Michael and Adrian like normal. Last week's game was "Alternate Version". 400 points. The team must have one character that is not the standard person/people behind the costume. Examples Falcon or Bucky as Captain America, female Thor, James Rhodes as Iron Man.

I went for another Asgardian themed team. However I wanted to try out the female Thor figure I pulled on my London trip to see the fabulous Foxes. The team I use were:

Thor (050 Marvel Nick Fury Agent of SHIELD) 145
Loki (046 Marvel Avengers Assemble) 120
Thunderstrike (021 Marvel Avengers Assemble) 98
Asgardian Warrior (014 Marvel Hammer of Thor) 37
=400 points

On the first round I was up against Michael who was using a non themed team who were:

Pepper Potts (016 Marvel Invincible Iron Man) 35
Iron Man (038 Marvel Invincible Iron Man) 110
Iron Man (009 Marvel HeroClix 10th Anniversary) 225
=370 points

I managed to win this game. Also Darren S won his game against Adrian. On the second round I was up against Darren S who was using a Masters of Evil themed team who were:

Blackout (025 Marvel Nick Fury Agent of SHIELD) 70
Man-Killer (029 Marvel Nick Fury Agent of SHIELD) 95
Yellowjacket (007 Marvel Age of Ultron event) 85
Whirlwind (030 Marvel Avengers Assemble) 83
Shocker (002 Marvel Amazing Spiderman) 65
=398 points

Unlike normal I won against Darren S. Big shocker. Also Adrian won his game against his brother Michael. On the third and final round I was up against Adrian who was also using an Asgardian themed team who were:

Odin (104 Marvel Fear Itself) 175 + Asgardian (ATA) 5 = 180
Mirage (004 Mavel Wolverine and the X-Men) 75 + Asgardian (ATA) 5 = 80
Loki (035 Marvel Hammer of Thor) 122 + Asgardian (ATA) 5 = 127
=387 points

I was winning for most of the game however Adrian got lucky in the final turn and managed to pull out a win out of nowhere. Also Darren S won his game against Michael. Over all I got first place, Adrian was second, Darren S was third and sadly Michael was in last place.

This week's scenario will be "Build Up to Civil War". 500 points. The team must have one and only one character from the up and coming Captain America Civil War film that no one else is using. I will be using Iron Man (of course), Darren S will be using Winter Soldier, Adrian will be using Black Panther and Michael will be using Warmachine.

"Painting and Converting"

For this post I have for you all is the Butcher from Kingdom Death Monster.

During the week I managed to finish painting three more Robotech RPG Tactics figures and two Malifaux figures.

In the next "Gaming News from Neoscream" post I should have for you all the King's Man from Kingdom Death Monster and three more Trolls from Greygore Boomhowler's unit from Warmachine/Hordes.

Gaming News from Neoscream: 18th March 2016

Welcome everyone to the “Gaming News from Neoscream” post. This is my weekly gaming news post for miniature games, RPGs and some card games, as well as my miniatures painting and upcoming local events.

“Gaming News”

First off we have the Bushiroad news. With Weiß Schwarz, today sees the release of "THE IDOLM@STER CINDERELLA GIRLS" in the form of three Trial Decks, a Booster Set and a Meister Set all in English. Next Friday will see the release of Card game Shiyoko Ultimate Starter in Japanese.
Also with Cardfight Vanguard, today sees the release of the G Legend Deck 2: The Overlord blaze "Toshiki Kai" in Japanese. Next Friday will see the release of G Trial Deck 8 "Vampire Princess of the Nether Hour" and G Booster Set 6 "Transcension of Blade and Blossom" in English. This and G Booster Set 7 are the sets that I am currently looking forward to. Six has Nova Grapplers and Seven has Dimension Police. There is a Sneak Peek for G Booster Set 6 at Wargames Workshop MK. Sadly due to working I will not be able to go.

Next is the HeroClix news. This week we got previews of: Metalhead and Casey Jones from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Now for the Privateer Press news. Their Widower's Wood is still going on. As I post this they have managed to unlock since the lost post: A new reward level called Luxury which is basically Premium with a KickStarter exclusive table top dice tray; a Boss Swamp Gobber was added to all pledge levels apart from the Core Game one; a KickStarter exclusive Blackhide Wrastler was added to all pledge levels apart from the Core Game one; and four more Club Gatormen and a KickStarter exclusive mission was added to all pledge levels. 
As I post this the stretch goals that are still going were: A Boss Small Tatzylurm will be added to all pledge levels apart from the Core Game one at $287k; six Tomahawk Gatormen will be added to all pledge levels apart from the Core Game one at $300k; a Boss Gatorman Bokor will be added to all pledge levels apart from the Core Game one at $312k; two more Gatormen Bokor will be added to all pledge levels at $325k; three more KickStarter exclusive missions will be added to all pledge levels apart from the Core Game one at $337k; and a KickStarter exclusive Swamp Horror will be added to all pledge levels apart from the Core Game one at $350k.
The KickStarter will be ending on Sunday. Let us see what they can unlock between now and then.

Next is the Cryptozoic news. Next month they are returning to KickStarter to fund Ghostbusters The Board Game 2.

Now for the Kingdom Death news. For one week only, all the expansions for Kingdom Death Monster (apart from the Lantern Festival due to not being ready and the Spidicules most likely due to the problem with the legs) are all up on their web store for one week that ends on the 21st. I have managed to pick up all three Knights. I was planning on getting the Green Knight Armour set too however I learnt that you need to get two or three more of the other expansions to use it.
Afterwards the expansions will be release normally onto the store as a general release in a slow manner.

Lastly is the Modiphius news. With their Infinity RPG they are still working on the Wave one books, however from next week they will start shipping the miniatures if backers want to pay extra for the postage. On the belowKickStarter Dates" section I have pushed wave one to April, however I do doubt that it will ship by then.

Neoscream's Life: 7th to 13th of March

Welcome everybody to another the Neoscream's Life post. This is my weekly post of life, what games I have been playing, what I have been painting and what I have watching and reading. This week's opening pictures are of the Lion Knight.

"Life"

On Monday evening I went down to Wargames Workshop MK for the second game of the Frostgrave campaign. First off what I did to my warband between games had changed from what I was originally planning on doing. I choose the Inn to up the number of my warband, brought the Carrier Pigeon Base Resource to be able to save some of my money (as the Captain will be eating out a chunk of it) and hired a third Thug. All the others apart from myself and Bob were unable to attend more due to sickness (them or family members). There is a lot of sickness going around this week. Anyway most of them had rearrange their games until next week. So myself and Bob had ours. It was quite an interesting game. I was doing well and Bob was having having problems (dice rolls). In the end Bob got the kill on the Mage and his treasure, giving him three treasures (four if you count that the Mage's treasure counts as two Lich King treasures rolls) to my two. However I did take out a lot of his warband. Over all I lost a Thug and one would have missed a game if I did not do a Vince McMahon and FIRED them. I replaced them with another Thug and a second Treasure Hunter. I also brought the Kennels with a Warhound. Sadly my Wizard only went up one level while Bob's went up three from the game.

I managed to walk to and from work on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. The Foxes jumper is fitting more nicely now.

On Friday evening myself, Richard and Darren H went down to Simon's for some Kingdom Death Monster. We played one game against the Screaming Antelope (or Goat which Simon keeps on calling in). We did not loss a survivor in the Hunt or Showdown phases, however during the Settlement phase we draw the Murder Settlement event and my main survivor "Nami" who had the King's Curse commented suicide as she had both the highest Hunt Experience and the Insanity of the settlement. We did bend a rule on an event that followed. The Twilight Knight returned would have left Darren's main survivor the Twilight Sword. However a he only has one arm while the Twilight Sword is a two handed weapons, we decided to give it to the next highest returning survivor which was Richard's secondary survivor as it would be a Stupid move on Twilight Knight to give a one armed person a two-handed weapon.

"HeroClix"

On Thursday I played some HeroClix with Darren S, Michael and Adrian like normal. Last week's game was "The Other Guys". 500 points, no figure over 150 points, Named Theme Teams only, but not the usual suspects.

I went for a Lethal Legion (it is also a Masters of Evil) themed team who were:

Swordsman (029 Marvel Avengers Assemble) 85
Whirlwind (030 Marvel Avengers Assemble) 83
Wonder Man (028 Marvel Chaos War) 118
Ultron (208 Marvel Chaos War) 90
Grim Reaper (037 Marvel Age of Ultron event) 119
=495

On the first round I was up against Michael who was using a Weapon X themed team who were:

Weapon X Scientist (007 Marvel Deadpool) 40
Deadpool (019 Marvel Deadpool) 135
G.W. Bridge (041 Marvel Deadpool) 68
Cyber (015 Marvel Wolverine and the X-Men) 124
X-23 (027 Marvel Web of Spiderman) 60
Aurora (012 Marvel Invincible Iron Man) 75
=502

I managed to win this game. Also Darren S won his game against Adrian.

On the second round I was up against Darren S who was using a Doom Patrol themed team who were:

Robotman (005 DC World's Finest) 130
Crazy Jane (019 DC World's Finest) 75
Mento (020 DC World's Finest) 75
Negative Man (021 DC World's Finest) 75
Elasti-Girl (035 DC World's Finest) 100
The Chief (051 DC World's Finest) 50
=505

Like normal Darren S won. Sadly I cannot remember which of the brothers won their game.

On the third and final round I was up against Adrian who was using a Black Lantern Corp themed team who were:

Black Lantern Reanimate (008 DC War of Light) 35
Lyssa Drak (021 DC War of Light) 91
Aquaman (034 DC War of Light) 129
Firestorm (048 DC War of Light) 140
Abin Sur (046 DC War of Light) 109
=504

I somehow managed to win this game. Also Darren S won his game against Michael.

This week's scenario will be "Alternate Version". 400 points. The team must have one character that is not the standard person/people behind the costume. Examples Falcon or Bucky as Captain America, female Thor, James Rhodes as Iron Man.

"Cardfight Vanguard Tournament"

On Saturday I went down to Wargames Workshop MK for a Cardfight Vanguard Tournament. I was tempted in trying out current versions of ever my Nova Grappler or Genesis decks, however I decided to use my Dimensional Robos deck as I wanted to get more practice with them. (I might end up switching to a Nova Grappler deck when G-BT006 is released.

On the first round I was up against Jackie who was using her new and beloved Touken Ranby deck. I managed to win this game.

On the second round I was up against Shell who was using a Dark Irregulars deck. I lost against her. I had terrible draw luck, however she did say that my skills with my deck has improved.

On the third round I was up against Liam who was using a Narukami deck. It was a close round, however Liam won it.

On the four and final round before the top four cut off I was up against Jordan who was using a Spike Brothers deck. Sadly I lost this round and did not make it into the top four.

Shockingly Shell did not win the tournament. Anyway it was a good day. Sadly apart from the fourth "Mythical Destroyer Beast, Vanargandr" for my Genesis deck, I did not get any new cards that I can use in my decks.

"Painting and Converting"

For this post I have for you all is both versions of Louise from Zombicide.

During the week I managed to finish painting a two bases for previous painted Warmachine figures, a Kingdom Death Monster figure and three figures for my Frostgrave warband.

In the next "Gaming News from Neoscream" post I should have for you all both versions of Terry Zombicide and the Screaming Antelope from Kingdom Death Monster.

Below is an image of my painting table at the end of last Sunday night or the start of Monday morning.
