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.

Build Analysis: Cardfight Vanguard Nova Grappler

Welcome to another Build Analysis. This is the fortnightly blog post that breaks down my deck and team/army builds. This time we are looking at what my Nova Grappler deck looks like at the moment and what I currently plan on going with it.

Sorry that this was two weeks late. It was written, I just been forgetting to take photos of the cards and post it. G-BT06 "Transcension of Blade and Blossom" is now out in Japanese and will be coming out is English at Easter time. So I could redo the planned deck now, however I will leave that as an update post in the future.

This was the first none Dimension Police deck I made. However I have not been using it much as when ever I have tested it, I keep on having grade lock problems with it. This must be just bad luck or the deck is cursed as it follows my normal deck structure (which is somewhat a standard build for most decks): sixteen triggers, a starter, fourteen grade ones, eleven grade twos and eight grade threes. In fact in early versions of the deck I used a trigger as a starter to have an extra card in one of the other grade (I cannot remember which one) and it still suffers.

Well anyway here is what the deck currently looks like:

Grade Four
Meteokaiser, Vic-Ten x1
Meteokaiser, Tribrut x2
Miracle Element, Atmos x1

Grade Three
Gold Rutile x2
Exxtreme Battler, Victor x2
Exxtreme Leader Mu-sashi x2
Exxtreme Leader, Raybird x2

Grade Two
Magical Gambler x2
Extreme Battler, Gunzork x2
Starlight Hedgehog x2
Super Electromagnetic Lifeform, Storm x2
Transraizer x1
Extreme Battler, Kenbeam x1
Extreme Battler, Sazanda x1

Grade One
Screamin' and Dancin' Announcer, Stout x3
Twin Blader x2
Beast Deity, Solar Falcon x2
Final Wrench x3
Oasis Girl x2
Extreme Battler, Arashid x1
Burstraizer x1

Grade Zero
Extreme Battler, Runbhol (starter) x1
Beast Deity, Rescue Bunny (heal) x2
Ring Girl, Clara (heal) x1
Ring Girl, Ai (heal) x1
Beast Deity, Death Stinger (critical) x2
Shining Lady (critical) x1
Extreme Battler, Zanbhara (critical) x1
Battleraizer (stand) x4
Energy Girl (stand) x2
Turboraizer (stand) x1
Cannon Ball (stand) x1

Yes I know it is a bit of a mix match. I originally thought of building ever a Raizer or a Beast Deity themed deck. Raizer for the synergies and Beast Deity as I have a bunch from BT13 Catastrophic Outbreak. However after talking to Matt who is a Nova Grappler player and a couple of others, I have decided to aim for a Extreme Battler themed deck.

My plan is to run a stand heavy deck, hence why there are eight stand triggers in the deck and the Strides I currently have really help with that. In fact that is what Novas do best. STAND! STAND! STAND!

I have done some planning on a new deck and here is what I currently plan on having (please note as I am writing this we are getting previews of G-BT06 "Transcension of Blade and Blossom", so this can quickly change):

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

Grade Three
Exxtreme Battler, Victor x4
Exxtreme Leader, Raybird x4

Grade Two
Magical Gambler x2
Extreme Battler, Gunzork x3
Starlight Hedgehog x2
Cool Hank x2
Extreme Battler, Sazander x2

Grade One
Final Wrench x4
Extreme Battler, Arashid x4
Lady Cyclone x4
Extreme Battler, Malyaki x2

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

OK with the grade zeros the triggers without special abilities it is more due to the look of the deck than anything. However more Energy Girls will help the deck a lot.

Until I saw the previews for G-BT06, I had two spots on the grade one which I have not decided on. However Malyaki fit the bill.

There is too meanly good choices and with possible new choices coming coming from G-BT06. I need to try to nail it down.

With the grade three I could drop a Raybird or two for Mu-sashi, but other than that I am happy with this line-up. However this might change when G-BT06 comes.

With the grade fours, I wanted to look for something to go with Vic-Ten and Tribrut and the ideal choice came in a preview for G-BT06, "Meteokaiser, Victor". He suits the bill in what I am after for this deck.

I might still look into building a Raizer deck in the future, however I am quite happy with this idea of a deck list. Can it be improved? Did I miss anything? Please let me know.

The next Build Analysis should be my Genesis deck for Cardfight Vanguard. (Hoping to get it out next week due to the delays of this post as Genesis was meant to be this week).

Until next time, enjoy life.

Neoscream's Life: 30rd March to Easter 2015

The Hobgoblin team
Welcome to the new Neoscream's Life post. This is a weekly post of what games I have been playing, what I watch and news on the great Geek Goddess, AJ, for the last time.



“Zombicide”

On Monday I went down for some Zombicide. We played the first mission from the first Compendium book, "Lost", three times. As it was an "Easy" season one mission, I added Toxic Zombies and Zombie Dogs to the mix (as well as Survivors from season two, dog companions, and Toxic City Mall equipment cards). An Abomination appeared in the first building we opened. We lost. We played it again without the Dog Zombies (and the non-English Toxic Zombie cards that somehow made it to the deck. We ended up with an Abomination In the first building again and we got swamped with Toxic Zombies. We lost again. We tried again a third time, but without the Toxic Zombies. We got an Abomination again in the first building. We did a lot better this time around, but we still lost. Face Palm.
 


“Warmachine/Hordes Tournament”

On Saturday I went to Wargames Workshop MK for the second time during the week. This time was for the Warmachine/Hordes Tournament. As I have not been doing well with my Convergence, I decided to try a different faction that I own. I have a bit of experience with Menoth, but I decide to use Cygnar which I have never used before. My team was:

Captain Kara Sloan (-6 PC to Warjacks)
Squire - PC: 2
Cyclone Heavy Warjack - PC: 9
Defender Heavy Warjack - PC: 9
Lieutenant Allison Jakes - PC: 3
Ironclad Heavy Warjack - PC: 7
Stormsmith Stormcaller - PC: 1
Black 13th Gun Mage Strike Team - PC: 4
A six man Long Gunner Infantry unit - PC: 6
= 35

On the first round I was up against a Skorne army. I ended up losing, but my opponent did give me some helpful tips at the end.

On the second round I was up against a Menoth army. Again I lost, but I am starting to get more use to my force. It did not help that most of the guys I killed came back to life. Beep! Beep! Beep! We then stopped for lunch.

The third round started after lunch and I was up against a Legion army. It was a much closer game, however my opponent won. I would have won if I did not fail to hit so much against the Warlock (and the hidden second Flurry token. Beep! Beep! Beep!).

On the fourth round I was up against a Retribution army. Shock! Horror! I won this game by assassinating his Warcaster. I think this was my second tournament win for Warmachine. OMG.

Due to time we did not have a fifth round. I ended up at sixteenth place out eighteen players. An improvement. I will give Cygnar another go in the next tournament. But I will do some changes, like replacing the Long Gunner Infantry with Arcane Tempest Gun Mages, drop Lieutenant Allison Jakes and the Ironclad and add a Hunter light Warjack or two. I really enjoyed use a shooting army.



"Wrestlemania 31"

Wow want a show. OK, let us go with the results. Starting with the two preshow matches.

First we have the four way tag match for the WWE Tag Team titles. WWE Tag Team Champions Tyson Kidd and Cesaro defeated The Usos, Los Matadores and The New Day's Big E and Kofi Kingston.

He second match was the second annual Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal. Big Show won this thirty-man Battle Royal claming the prize he deserves. Damien Mizdow did well as well, by dumping the dead weight, The Miz.

Now we move on to the main show. The first match was the seven-man ladder match for the WWE Intercontinental Championship. It involving the defending champion Bad News Barrett and challengers Daniel Bryan, R-Truth, Dean Ambrose, Luke Harper, Dolph Ziggler, and Stardust. Bryan won the match to claim his first Intercontinental Championship.

The second match a match between Seth Rollins and Randy Orton. Randy Orton won the match be delievering s wicked RKO, which was given additional elevation as Orton countered Rollins' Curb Stomp by flinging Rollins up into the air.

The third match was a pinfall and submissions-only match between Sting and Triple H. Both D-Generation X (Billy Gunn, Road Dogg, X-Pac and Shawn Michaels) and nWo members (Scott Hall, Kevin Nash and Hulk Hogan) interfered in the match.  However Triple H won the match with the help of a broken sledgehammer. Following the match, Triple H and Sting shook hands in the ring.

The fourth match was a Divas tag team match between the team of AJ Lee and Paige and The Bella Twins. The Geek Goddess, AJ won the match for her team by locking in the Black Widow to make the Diva’s Champion Nikki Bella to tap out.

The fifth match was for the WWE United States Championship between defending champion Rusev who was accompanied by his manager Lana and John Cena. Cena dealt Rusev his first pinfall loss in WWE, to become the new WWE United States Championship.

Now normally (unless it involves AJ), I do not talk about the non-match but the t-shirt calls out to for this to be bought up. The Authority (Triple H and Stephanie McMahon) came to the ring to talk about how well the show was doing, but then The Rock to come to the ring in but this head in. After a verbal exchange, Stephanie insulted the Rock and slapped him across the face, taunting that he would not retaliate because he dare not hit a woman. She told him to leave the ring which he did, but then he brought UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey (who was sitting in the front row) into the ring. After Ronda let Stephanie know that she "owns every ring she is in" Rock attacked Triple H and Ronda then threw both Stephanie and Triple H from the ring, first teasing an armbar on Stephanie. This was awesome and Ronda’s t-shirt was fantastic too. It was a Dragon Ball Z Vegeta “It’s over 9,000” t-shire. The t-shirt and seeing her kick Stephanie’s butt makes her my third if not second (sorry Paige) female wrestler.

The sixth match was a singles match between the returning Undertaker and the Arkham escapee Bray Wyatt. The Undertaker won the match. He look a lot healthier then what he did the last time we saw him, Wrestlemania 30.

The main event of the night was the WWE World Heavyweight Championship match between defending champion Brock Lesnar who was accompanied by his manager Paul Heyman and Roman Reigns. Lesnar deliver suplex after suplex onto Reigns. But he just smiled and laughed them off. Oh and Reigns had beaten Lesnar’s face to a bloody pulp. Lesnar then hit a fourth F-5 on Reigns, but was unable to follow up due to fatigue and blood loss. While both men were down, the rat Seth Rollins ran in from the back with his Money in the Bank briefcase and cashed in his contract. The referee turning the singles match into a triple threat. Which Rollins sadly won as he was up against two heavily warn out powerhouses who had beaten the crap out of each other.


“AJ and the WWE”

On Raw last week, AJ was in a six Diva tag match. It was her, Paige and Naomi verses the Bellas twins and Natalya. Naomi won the match for her team by pinning the Diva’s Champion Nikki Bella

If you have not read Sunday’s “5th Anniversary” post, please do. As it talks about AJ retiring. However I will reveal that this week’s Raw all we got was a statement from the commentary team talking about her retiring. So sadly this will be the last weekly “AJ and the WWE” section. If I hear any AJ news I will do an “AJ News” section but I do not know how often it will be, if there are any as AJ in VERY private with her life outside WWE.



“Painting and Converting”

For this post I have for you both version of Angry Mery and the human version of Red Cap from Zombicide.

In the next post there should be White Knight from Kingdom Death and a Cygnar Defender Heavy Warjack from Warmachine.

Neoscream's Life: 25th to Easter Sunday March 2013

RX-178+FXA-05D Super Gundam

Welcome to the Neoscream's Life post. This is a weekly post of some of the things I did last week, news on stuff like Crooked Dice Games, DreadBall and AJ Lee, previews of last week's new Cosplay Deviants sets and my weekly miniatures painting section.

On Monday last week I went to Wargames Workshop after work for the start of their DreadBall League. On the first game I was up against Gavin. He was using a Corporation team. It was a tight game and I won by one point. My number seven player called Sentinel (after Sentinel Prime) up a level. He was a Striker and he gained the A Safe Pair of Hands skill. I also earned seven credits which I spent six of on a second coaching dice. On the second game I was up against the store owner Carl. He was using a Marauder team. Again it was a tight game but I managed to won again by one point. I am currently in first place in my group. Sweet. Go Cyber-Tech Primers. Can I keep it up.  The next two League games will be on the 8th of April.

On Saturday I went to Colette's Easter party. It was a good night and it was great seeing people I have not seen in a while. I was sadly the first to go due to transport as my last bus home was about 10:30PM on a Saturday. But by the sound of things, Darren and Lisa were planning on going soon after for their last train home.  There was about thirteen of us there before I left with more coming later.

The starting eight Judwan players
Now for this week's DreadBall news. On Monday, Thursday and last week Jake Thornton talked about the other three teams on his blog. You can find the article on his blog Quirkworthy. There is a link to it on the right hand side of this blog. There are three major notes for the Female Second Corporation team. First they do not need to be all females, it is just a different style of Corporation team. The second is that they have four Jacks and one Guard compared to the Season One Corporation team. Lastly their were originally rumoured to have the "A Safe Pair of Hands" skill, but they do not. Instead their Jacks have "Running Interference". The Judwan seems very interesting. Jake also stated that he will be taking about the Coach and Cheerleaders this week. On Wednesday Mantic has posted a preview page for the MVP Mee'Kel Judwan. Sadly he is not really playable the moment as four of the five skills he has are new ones from Season Two. A safe bet can be made on one of them, 360 Vision. He has a 360° front arch and no rear arch, just like the ref bot. Then on Friday Mantic reviled the sculpts of the Judwan team. They look more like Grays than Tau. I am not a fan of the look, but I do not hate them. Sadly still no pictures of the Z’zor figures.

Next Next is Crooked Dice Games news. Yes I use to say 7TV news but as I am talking about 7th Voyage now as well I decided to change the title. As you will be able to see later on in this blog post in the "Watch, Listen and Read" section, I have brought the PDF version of 7th Voyage. There are some major changes to the rules compared to 7TV, melee weapons are more unique and change gives an extra dice to both attack and damage instead of one of your choice are just some changes to the mechanics of the game. These changes I have listed have made melee more deadlier for 7th Voyage. I am planning an undead based team for both 7TV and 7th Voyage, but a physical team will have to wait until December as that is when my Loka KickStarter stuff will arrive. That is if there is no problems.

Sadly I did not get round to playing any Skylanders last week, so there is no changes there.

AJ victorious over Kaitlyn 
Next Friday will be the three year anniversary of this blog. On that day I am announcing several changes to the blog that will effect the Neoscream's Life posts. Just giving you all a heads up.

Now for what AJ Lee has been up to this past week. AJ appeared a whopping four times on Raw Monday last week. The first time was when she was supporting Dolph Ziggler with Big E Langston in Dolph's match against Chris Jericho. Jericho won like normal, but after the match Big E and then Fandango beat the crap out of Jerico. Then during Team Hell No's match against the Prime Time Players, AJ and the gang came out to watch the match from a far. They were distracted for a moment, but they manage to win the match. Later back stage, Daniel Bryan and Kane (Team Hell No) were blaming the other for being distracted by their old feelings for AJ. Kaitlyn was in the room and started bad mouthing AJ to them. AJ over heard the conversation. Then Kaitlyn used the "C" word, which made AJ snap and attacked her. Due to this thet were placed in a match against each other. This was the second every singles match AJ has ever had against her former best friend.  During the match Kaitlyn tried to spear AJ outside the ring, but AJ dodged her and Kaitlyn ended up hit the barrier. Kaitlyn was knocked dazed and ended up being counted out giving AJ her second ever win against her. The way things are going it will be AJ verses Kaitlyn for the Divas Championship at Wrestlemania.

AJ taking out Danial Bryan out side the ring.
Oh a great shot of AJ's ass too. 
AJ appeared on Main Event last week trying to distract Kane during his match against the United States Champion Antonio Cesaro. Again Kane still managed to win.

AJ was in a mix tag team match with Dolph on Smackdown. They were up against the team of Daniel Bryan and Kaitlyn.  Sadly AJ ended up losing to Kaitlyn. However it is shaping up to be AJ verses Kaitlyn for the Divas Championship at Wrestlemania.  According to a poll the WWE did 75% of fans want to see the match happen.

We now move on to the Watch, Listen and Read section of the blog post:

On Wednesday there was a set from the deviant Anomaly. The set is called Shade Gel and in it she cosplays as Mina Tepes from Dance in the Vampire Bund. On Saturday there was a new set with the deviant Freckle. The set is called Shoreleave and in it they cosplay as Nami from One Piece after the time skip.

Group Six
Drake team COMPETED
Groups one to six all together. I really need to split this onto two boards

Next week was first meant to be a new 7TV team who were going to be a James Bond Villain team, but due to me wanting to get the minions at Salute I then decided to swap this team with the next planned new 7TV team, my Bot-X team. However, I am STILL waiting for them to arrive so sadly I cannot do them. They were slated to arrive between 14th to the 26th of March, still has not been dispatched with no word on why it is taking so long to be dispatched. Note to self, avoid buying from Wayland Game. So I decided to do the next none new 7TV team, my Martial Arts Detective School team at 300 ratings (formerly named Kung-Fu Detective School).


Until next time, armour up.

MK HeroClix, the 21st of June, Revenge of the Fallen

Welcome to another MK HeroClix post. First off is the HeroClix news for the week. This week there were previews of Donald Blake, Thor, Kang, Baron Zemo and Mr. Sinister from Marvel Chaos Wars; Vision and Ultron from Marvel Chaos Wars gravity feed; and Cyborg from DC Justice League 52. Got to get hold of both Ultron and Cyborg.

This week's game was Revenge of the Fallen. (I was not the one who named it.) 300 point, no figure over 75 points. The first figure you loss comes back on its starting click at the start of your next turn in the same square it was KO'd. Victory points are not awarded until the figure has been KO'd a second time. The team I wanted to put together was a Sinister Syndicate team who were:

Dr. Octopus (034 Marvel Secret Invasion) 69
Mysterio (056 Marvel Web of Spider-Man) 75
Shocker (030 Marvel Fantastic Force) 68
Vulture (041 Marvel Fantastic Force) 41
Hobgoblin (004 Marvel Universe) 39
=292 points and two re-rolls.

This week Roxy was at HeroClix and there was on Adrian as he took too long putting his team together at the last moment. On the first round I was up against Darren. He was using an Avengers theme team who were:

Nick Fury (203 Marvel Avengers Movies) 70
Hawkeye (208 Marvel Avengers Movies) 65
She-Hulk (003 Marvel Incredible Hulk Fast Forces) 75
Scarlet Witch (057 Marvel Avengers) 35
Mockingbird (018 Marvel Sinister) 34
Wasp (003 Universe) 19
=298 points and two re-roll.

The combo of Hawkeye and Nick Fury, with a well placed Scarlet Bitch Witch was a deadly combo. This lead to massive white wash as my team got trashed. Michael won his game against Roxy. On the second round I was up against Roxy.  He was using a Martial Artist theme team who were:

Daredevil (021 Marvel Incredible Hulk) 75
Psylocke (023 Marvel Giant Size X-Men) 74
Iron Fist (004 Marvel Secret Invasion) 70
Wolverine (092 Marvel Fantastic Forces) 71
Hand Ninja (011 Marvel Universe) 13
=303 points and one re-roll.

This team my team trashed Roxy's team. I manage to keep my team all together, use the shared ten attack. Darren won his game against Michael. On the third and final round I was up against Michael. He was using a Gotham City themed team who were:

Robin (034 DC Arkham Asylum) 66
The Question (004 DC Arkham Asylum) 37
Batgirl (014 DC Crisis) 70
Oracle (025 DC Batman Alpha) 50
Batman (001 DC Justice League) 75
=297 points and two re-rolls.

I manage to weaken Batman early in the game, but struggled with the triple Perplex and double Outwit. I ended up losing this game. I thinking Darren won his game against Roxy.

Next week should be Dark of the Moon, keeping to the Transformers theme. 600 point, four actions, at least one character has to have a cosmic link (even if it is just in the name) and no ATA's.

Now for this week's DreamClix section. This week I am doing ideas for a Pilot card for Shinichirõ Tamaki from Code Geass, Light as the New L from Death Note, King Vegeta from Dragon Ball and a Support card for Captain Grodek Airoa from Mobile Suit Gundam AGE. But first I have designs of Tsubaki from Soul Eater, Kurenai Yuhi from Naruto, RGE-B790 Genoace from Mobile Suit Gundam AGE, and a Pilot card for Suzaku Kururugi from Code Geass.



Next is a Pilot card for Shinichirõ Tamaki from Code Geass. Shinichirō Tamaki was a member of the Japanese Resistance and is one a core member of the Black Knights. He was the leader of the second special squadron of the Black Knights during the first season, but after the restructuring, he became the internal cleaning supporter. He is a hot-headed and carefree person, quick to cheer others on when not doing the fighting but rash and impulsive when he's on the front lines. His rashness is shown to border on recklessness, as he orders the execution of the Ashford Academy student council against Zero's wishes, though extenuating circumstances prevent his orders from being carried out. He is somewhat racist in his own right, but has been shown to even threaten other Japanese, such as when a group of them blame his group for the destruction of Shinjuku. He pilots a standard Knightmare Frame during battles, though he rarely lasts long before being forced to eject. He is initially skeptical about Zero, but comes to be one of his most vehement supporters, particularly after the Special Administrative Zone for an independent Japan fails. Even after being captured and imprisoned for a year following the failed Black Rebellion, he never gives up hope that Zero will rescue them, despite the fact that Zero was reported as dead. Tamaki seems to be the most critical of C.C.'s involvement in the organization despite her lack an official position, complaining that she's only there because she's Zero's lover, which she replies to by insulting him. In the second season, this appears to have been lightened into simple back and forth banter. Tamaki also complains about his own lack of an official position in the second season (what happened to his old position is not revealed), wanting to be in charge of finances in some way (Lelouch relieved him of this responsibility early in the first season when he spent much of their money on frivolous dinners). C.C. jokes that he's in charge of banquets to annoy him. With the formation of the United Federation of Nations and the Black Knights' appointment as its unified army, Tamaki is made the Internal Cleaning Supporter. When Lelouch is exposed as Zero, Tamaki takes it the hardest, being the last to accept that Zero could have manipulated them all this time. Despite this, he seemingly accepts it fully, threatening to kill Kallen when she is not quick enough to abandon Zero, and yet he claims to have always trusted him when Lelouch repeals the Numbers System. His requirement should be the Black Knights keyword and he should gain the Black Knights team ability. His special ability should be: "Give this character a power action. Remove an action token from up to two adjacent friendly characters with the Black Knights or Japan keyword. These characters cannot be given any actions for the rest of the turn, including free ones." He should not have a Mecha ability. The next Code Geass idea should be the knightmare frames Burai.

Next is Light as the "New L" from Death Note. After Light finally defeated and killed off L, Light became the new L and after his studies he became a police detective  and head of the Kira Investigation Team. This version of Light should have a special called "Outsmarted the World's Greatest Detective", Mind Control, Psychic Blast and Stealth.
Outsmarted the World's Greatest Detective: Light can use Probability Control, Outwit and Perplex.
He should have about six clicks of health and starting combat values of Speed 7, Attack 10, Defence 17, Damage 0 and Range 10 with two targets. He should have the Police and Mystics team abilities and his keywords should be Detective, Kira Investigation Team, Mystical and Police. The next Death Note idea should be Mello.

Next is the chase figure of King Vegeta from Dragon Ball Z. King Vegeta was the king of all Saiyans and the father of Vegeta and Tarble. He was also the commanding hero of the Saiyan Army, and led his people to victory in the Saiyan-Tuffle war, in which the planet was renamed in his honor. After his people were annexed by Frieza's planet trade organization, he had no choice but to pledge allegiance, but kept power over his people. He should have the flight symbol, Charge, Super Strength, Invulnerability, Toughness, Combat Reflexes, Indomitable, Leadership, Perplex and Close Combat Expect. He should have about eight clicks of health and starting combat values of Speed 9, Attack 11, Defence 17, Damage 3 and Range 5 with one target. He should not have a team ability and his keywords should be Past, Planet Trade Organisation, Ruler, Saiyan and Warrior. The next Dragon Ball idea should be a redo of Oolong.

Next is a Support card for Captain Grodek Ainoa from Mobile Suit Gundam AGE. Before the UE destroyed Angel, Grodek Ainoa was just a simple white-collar business man with a wife and daughter. He was away on business when the UE destroyed Angel and killed his family. Afterwards he joined the military. In AG 115 Grodek is the deputy commander of Aliston Base in the Nora Colony where the Gundam was developed. When the UE attacked Nora Grodek carried out Hendrick Bruzar's orders to evacuate the colony by using the Diva to pull out the colony core. However in order to do so Grodek had to stun and tie up the Diva's captain, Dian Fonroid, and its command staff who wanted to take the Diva and run. Grodek erased the men from the ship's crew roster and put himself in as captain. To cover what he did he said that the promotion came from headquarters. He then proceeded to follow Bruzar's orders and with protection from the Gundam managed to evacuate the entire population of Nora. His theme team keyword should be the Earth Federation Force.  He should not add any extra Theme team re-rolls and his special should be: At the beginning on a game choose one friendly character. When that character targets a character with the Vagan keyword with an attack, they gain +1 to their attack value for the action. If the chosen character is called Flit Asuno, you gain an extra theme team re-roll. The next Mobile Suit Gundam AGE idea should be CMS-223Z Zila.

Lastly is the DreamClix Dial Designs page update news. On Sunday I added a new Easter section on the DreamClix Dial Designs page with two new designs (the whole section) and on Thursday I add image versions of the IS team ability and the IS: Infinite Stratos feat. There should be at least an update on Sunday which will be the first of two Marvel Anime updates. I will not be updating the dial design (just like IS: Infinite Stratos) as this is a completed set.


Well that is it for this week. Until next time, Mecha Up.
