Neoscream's Gamer life: 27th June to 3rd July 2016

Welcome everybody to another the "Neoscream's Gamer Life" post. This is my weekly post of life and gaming. This week's Kingdom Death opening pictures is the Frogdog.

"Blog News"

OK there was no "Gaming News from Neoscream" post last week. This is because after posting last week's "Neoscream's Life" I decided I will from now on do ONE big joint post. This will make it easier for me to work on the posts as I would be working on both sides at the some time instead of working on 'Life' on the weekend and Monday (and Tuesday) where I end up forgetting things and then working on 'Gaming' on Wednesday to Friday. The only problems that there will be is the space for Labels. I had to drop the Labels "WWE, "Foxes", "X-Men", "Game of Thrones", "TMNT" and "Anime" from this post. However this will be the last post to use the "Game News" tag.

Imagine this image of Foxes in Kingdom Death Monster
without the shorts.

If anyone has any ideas for a better layout for this new combined post please let me know in the comment, on Facebook or on Twitter.

"Life"

On Monday I went down to Wargames Workshop MK for a game of Kingdom Death Monster. This was the first time I had tried out wipe able character sheets and a spreadsheet style record system for characters. They seem to have worked fine. Bob, Michael and Robert turned up to play this time so I could play as a character instead of being the Monster controller. We hunted down another level one White Lion. Due to the fact that we could not re-equip my character who I created back during the beginning of the campaign called Louisa (named after Foxes), got heavily damage due to a deep froze as she only had a Lion Coat as she lost the the Cloth skirt she had during the last game. Anyway we mage to defeat the Lion with ease and the Armoured Strangers left us a Statue while a humanoid Lion statue appeared in the middle of the settlement during the Settlement phase.

Oh the double post of last week's "Neoscream's Life" post and the Tweeter delay. When I posted last week's post, Blogger sent me to a blank new post. I went to the posts page and spotted the top post was a draft and it was the post I was trying to post. So I went into the post again and tried to posted it again, but I got a blank new post again. I went to the posts page again again and there was still a draft copy of the post on the top. However I noticed below it was two posted copies of the post. Facepalm. I checked the blog and there was two copies of the post. I tried to delete one of the posts and the draft, however Blogger just jams up. As I had to delete one post, I decided to play it safe and wait until I had deleted the double post as I do not wait to link the one that gets deleted. It was still jamming up on Wednesday too. However I manage to delete them on Thursday, however it maybe due to the face that this time I deleted them individually instead of together.

There was a plan on a game of Kingdom Death Monster on Friday, but sadly it was cancelled.

On Saturday I went down to Wargames Workshop MK for some Luck and Logic. I got another booster box and get in a bunch of trades. My Mejiko and Sena decks are both close to being finished, however I am still missing a lot of cards for my Aoi deck. I might give up on trying to build an Aoi deck as I miss a lot more cards due to rarity and the fact that there is a lot of people trying to build her deck. I sadly only got half a demo using my Sena deck game before I had to leave, due to Shell and Liam being busy with other demo games of Luck and Logic as well as playing Force of Will. According to Liam, the way it was going I would have most likely won as I had destroyed a lot more gates than what he did.

During the weekend I have been doing a bit of tidying of my bed room. Sadly after about three bags of rubbish it still looks like a bomb site. Well at least I can walk in it earlier now. Hopefully things will improve this weekend when I continue with the tidying.

"Thursday Night HeroClix"

On Thursday I went down to York House for HeroClix. The scenario was  "The 'New' Fantastic Four". 400 points, four figures no more no less, no figure with the Fantastic Four Keyword. After trying to build several teams (like Alpha Flight and a Days of Future Past Sentinels) I ended up going for a Stark Industries themed team who were:

Silver Centurion (001b Marvel Invincible Iron Man) 161 + Secret Avengers (ATA) 5 = 166
Rescue (002 Marvel Invincible Iron Man) 65
War Machine (029a Marvel Invincible Iron Man) 125 + Secret Avengers (ATA) 5 = 130
Bethany Cabe (102 Marvel Invincible Iron Man) 39
=400 points

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

Agent Ward (012 Marvel Nick Fury Agent of SHIELD) 55
Radiance (041 Marvel Nick Fury Agent of SHIELD) 65
War Machine (026 Marvel Age of Ultron) 200
Satana Hellstrom (034 Marvel Amazing Spider-man) 82
=402 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 Circle of Four (who the hell) themed team who were:

Red Hulk (004 Wizkids Marvel 2016 Events) 100
X-23 (037 Marvel Uncanny X-Men) 100
Venom (034 Marvel Deadpool) 96
Ghost Rider (026 Wizkids Marvel Events) 99
=395 points

Like normal against Darren S, I lost the game. Also Adrian won his game against his brother Michael. On the third and final round I was up against Adrian who was using an Avengers themed team who were:

Spider-Man (014 Marvel Civil War) 80
Wolverine (029 Marvel Chaos War) 90
Black Panther (007 Marvel Avengers vs X-Men) 100
Iron Man (009 Marvel HeroClix 10th Anniverary) 125
=395 points

It was a tight game, however I just managed to win this game. Also Darren S won his game against Michael.

This week's scenario is "Mr and Mrs". 500 points, 3 Actions. The team must contain the male and female variants (i.e Hulk and She Hulk, Hawk Man and Hawk Girl etc.) or a famous comic book couple (Scot and Jean, Lois and Clark etc.).

"Painting and Converting"

After being missing for two weeks the "Painting and Converting" section is back. This week I have for you all the Zombivor version of Julien and both versions of Tiff from Zombicide as well as the Lion Knight from Kingdom Death Monster.

During the week I have not managed to finish anything sadly. In next week’s post there should hopefully be the Lion Knight's three female assistants and the Flower Knight from Kingdom Death Monster. Due to tidying there is no end of week photo of what I am currently painting.
