Gaming News from Neoscream: 12th June 2016

Welcome to the “Gaming News from Neoscream” post and its my Birthday. 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.

"Blog News"

First off sorry for the late post. Due to how busy next week will be, There will be NO "Gaming News from Neoscream" post next week and the "Neoscream's Life" will be late if it happens next week. This is due to getting readily for the Cardfight Vanguard Team Nationals.

“Gaming News”

First off we have the Bushiroad news. With Weiß Schwarz, next week will see the release of the Osomatsu's booster set in Japanese.
With Cardfight Vanguard, next week will see the release of G Booster Set 7 "Glorious Bravery of Radiant Sword" in English.

Next is the HeroClix news. The last two weeks we got previews of: Daredevil, Wasp and Vision from Marvel Civil War (not to be confused with Marvel Captain America Civil War).

Now for the Cool Mini or Not news. They have started a new KickStarter for a dungeon crawler in partnership with Guillotine Games, their partner behind the amazing Zombicide. The game is called Massive Darkness. A dungeon crawl board game with no game master. Explore the darkness for loot and experience, facing hordes of awesome miniatures. It has already passed the one million dollar mark. There is only one pledge level, Lightbringer, which comes with the base game, the Kickstarter Exclusive Roaming Monster Cyclops Cliffbreaker and all Stretch Goals.

Since starting they have managed to unlock the following Stretch Goals: The game was funded; an Orc Flayer Boss; two Orc Flayer Minions; a KickStarter exclusive Dice Bag; a Dwarf Defender Boss; two Dwarf Defender Minions; the Kickstarter Exclusive Roaming Monster Werewolf; a Goblin Archer Boss; four Goblin Archer Minions; the Kickstarter Exclusive Hero Myrian the Witch; an Orc Enforcer Boss; two Orc Enforcer Minions; the Kickstarter Exclusive Roaming Monster Orgre Brute; a Goblin Warrior Boss; four Goblin Warrior Minions; the Roaming Monster Cockatrix; a Dwarf Warrior Boss; four Dwarf Warrior Minions; the Hero Zoe the Dwarf; the Kickstarter Exclusive Roaming Monster Orgre Rockbreaker; the Hero Azrael the High Elf; the Noble Warrior Class Sheet Pad; the Kickstarter Exclusive Roaming Monster Weretiger; the Hero Mila the Barbarian; the Kickstarter Exclusive Roaming Monster Flesh Golem; six Oillars; the Kickstarter Exclusive Roaming Monster Iron Golem; fifteen Level One Treasure Chests; the Kickstarter Exclusive Roaming Monster Cun-Ha the Mummy; the Hero Ajax the Sorcerer; the Sorcerer Class Sheet Pad; the Enemy box expansion "Elementals"; and the Kickstarter Exclusive Roaming Monster Living Construct.
The Stretch Goals that are still going as I post this are: Six Troglodyte Brute Minions at $1,300k; and a Troglodyte Brute Boss at $1,340.
I have only backed this at $1 for the updates. I have too many games at the moment and I already have a dungeon crawler, Dungeon Saga.

Next is the Fragged Empire RPG: Protagonist Archive and Miniatures news. The Pledge manager will be up soon.

Now for the Mantic news. They are currently working on a second edition of DreadBall, that might hit KickStarter next month and be released next year. This will included re-balancing of the rule and of all six seasons of teams (twenty five teams) as well as some new teams. Some of the major changes they are saying may/will happen are changes on how Giants, Jacks and MVPs work and a making all the teams play more unique. The latter will be a hard one to get off do to the LARGE number of team, especially if they plan on adding more. Maybe merging some would be an idea as people do complain that there is TOO many teams.

Next is the Cryptozoic news. the Pledge Managers for the Ghostbusters the Boardgame II.

Now for some Privateer Press news. Their yearly event, Lock and Loaded, is currently happening in America. With it marks the pre-release of Mark three of Warmachine and Hordes and the release of War Room Two. War Room in the office army Builder app for Warmachine and Hordes and this new version is for Mark Three of the games. Anyone who brought digital decks from the original version gets 20% off the  mark three decks.
I have tried to rebuild my main Cygnar force for Mark Three. Sadly I have to drop the Squire due to two reason. The first being the fact that you can only have one attachment and the second this that the rest of the army hits the 50 points standard (the new 35 points of mark two).

Lastly some Transformers Earth Wars news. They have added both Headstrong and Slug to the game.

Gaming News from Neoscream: 23rd April 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, this week sees the release of the "Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works volume 2" Booster Set and Meister Set in English and "Idolmaster Cinderella Girls 2nd Season" Booster set in Japanese. Also on Friday next week we will see the release of the Power Up set for Idol Master in Japanese.
With Cardfight Vanguard, this sees the release of the second G Start Deck "Knight of the Sun" in both English and Japanese.

Next is the HeroClix news. This week we got previews of: Leatherhead from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles; "Sabertooth and Wild Child" and Proteus from Marvel The Uncanny X-Men; and Surfing Batman, Shark and Hawkman conversation exclusive figures.

Now for the Ninja Division news. Their KickStarter, "Rail Raiders Infinite, has ended. They managed to make $339,724 with 4,649 backers. Since the last post they managed to unlock: The "Old Tyme Religion" expansion as an add-on; a new pledge level called "Raiders" that includes everything from "Space Cowboy" plus both expansions; the raider Rhinestone was added to the Space Cowboy pledge level and above; Rail Raiders Infinite card sleeves was added to the Space Cowboy pledge level and above; the raider Canton Cobb was added to the Space Cowboy pledge level and above; two Lawbot Preachers and three Lawbot Pallbearers was added to the Space Cowboy pledge level and above; the raider Typhoon was added to the Space Cowboy pledge level and above; a second sculpt for the Lawbot Pallbearers; ten more Poker Dice and rules for the spin-off game that uses the dice called "Huckleberry's Riverboat Roll" was added to the Space Cowboy pledge level and above; the raider Chuy was added to the Space Cowboy pledge level and above; a Collector's Dealer Chip will be added to the Space Cowboy pledge level and above; and the Law Bot Lock Box was added to the Space Cowboy pledge level and above.
All of the stretch goals finished.

Next is the Privateer Press news. I have more information on the Battlegroups due to online preorders. First off I was wrong about a couple of things. The Warjacks are the same sculpts and are in their plastic resin but coloured in the faction's base colour. Also not all the warjacks are the same as the old Battlegroups. I made this mistake thinking the Firefly was a new Charger.
Also previews of several state cards have been revealed.

Now for the Cryptozoic news. The Ghostbusters The Board Game 2 KickStarter is still going on, however it is still going slow. Since the last post they managed to unlock: The ghost Bug Eye was added to the Proton Slinger pledge level and above.
The stretch goals that are still going as I post this are: The Ghostbuster Kylie Griffin will be added to the Proton Slinger pledge level and above at $600k.

Next is the Mantic news. Pre-orders for Deadzone second edition is now up. Sadly there is no word if it has officially started to ship to backers yet.

Now for the Odyssey: Argonauts news. The KickStarter has finished now and they have managed to make £6,039 with 88 backers. Since last time they have managed to unlock: A Wrist Mounted Weapons add-on set; a Head and Shoulder plate add-on set; a Head and Shoulder add-on set; a Wrist Blades and Shield add-on set; the Odyssey Scrap-Book(let) as an add-on; the "Argonauts Assemble" pledge level that comes with eight Argonauts, Jason and two of each add-on set; "The Last Stand" KickStarter and Show exclusive damaged Argonaut figure as an add-on; and the Odyssey Scrap-Book(let) was added to "We Three Kings" pledge level and above.
Sadly the stretch goals that they did not make were: The Final add-on set at £70k.

Next is the "Fragged Empire RPG: Protagonist Archive and Miniatures news. Since the last post they have managed to unlock: All the miniatures will now come with a hand signed premium quality art cards.
The stretch goals that are still going as I post this are: Expanded art budget at $50k; expanded 'Prominent NPCs' section by fifteen pages at $55k; a Male Kaltoran miniature at $60k; GM Screens at $65k; and expanded Science, Technology, Psionics and Factions sections by ten pages at $70k. Please note that this is in Australian dollars, not USA dollars.

Now for a new KickStarter that has hit the internet like a storm, Dark Souls: The Board Game. It is a strategically challenging, deeply immersive combat exploration game for one to four players board game based on the computer game Dark Souls, which Kingdom Death Monster gets compared to all the time. It is being done by the British company Steamforged Games LTD, the people who made Guild Ball. There was a demo of the game at Salute which I missed out on, however a friend of mine did play it and it was quite interesting and really deadly like Kingdom Death Monster. It was funded in just three minutes, made $1m in just under twenty-four hours and 1m backers and £1m in two days. Sadly I have a strong feeling from past game that is the $1m and games based on other properties, this huge successes will be its undoing. There is really only one pledge level, Souls Pledge. This comes with the box game and all stretch goals unless noted otherwise. There is also a retail level too (I do not normally cover retail version).
Since starting they have managed to unlock: Funded; a Pyromancer Player Character; five Dancer Behaviour Cards; a Cleric Player Character; five Executioner Behaviour Cards; a Sorcerer Player Character; a Thief Player Character; five Legendary Weapon Treasure Cards; a Mercenary Player Character; five Lothric Encounter Cards; the Pursuer Boss Model; five Anor Londo Encounter Cards; a Deprived Player Character; ten Item Treasure Cards; three Firebomb Hollows figures; three Dancer Heat Up Cards; five Gravestone 3D terrain tokens; three Executioner Damaged Cards; three Silver Knight Lancers figures; the Sir Alonne Boss Model; four Barrel 3D terrain tokens; the Bonfire 3D terrain token; four Treasure Chest 3D terrain tokens; four Large Barrel 3D terrain tokens; Spin Dials for Core Game Mini Bosses; the Smelter Demon Boss Model; five Smelter Demon Behaviour Cards; three Alonne Sword Knight figures; give Legendary Weapon Treasure Cards; three Ironclad Soldiers figures; five Spell Equipment Cards; five Iron Keep Encounter Cards; three Alonne Katana Bow Knights figures; the Gaping Dragon expansion as an add-on; the Black Dragon Kalameet expansion as an add-on; the Guardian Dragon expansion as an add-on; five Invader AI Cards; three Smelter Demon Damaged Cards; Trap Cards; Spin Dials for the Pursuer, Sir Alonne and Smelter Demon; two Mimics figures; two Crystal Lizards; the Last Giant boss expansion for retailers; the Manus, Father of the Abyss boss expansion for retailers; the Four Kings boss expansion as an add-on; the Black Iron set player character; five The Pursuer Behaviour Cards; five Winged Knight Behaviour Cards; the Adventurer set player character; and five Gargoyle Behaviour Cards.
The stretch goals that are still going as I post this are: Executioner's Chariot boss expansion for retailers 200 Retail Backers; and an un-revealed armour set player character at £1.2m.
I have only back this at £1 to get the updates. However if I have the money, room and time for another game, I would be backing this at "Souls Pledge".

Lastly there is the Stonehaven Miniatures news. All the sculpting for their Halfling Adventurers Miniatures KickStarter are now completed. Casting based on the past will take about a month and shipping should be starting mid to late May. Backers all receive a survey next week.

Gaming News from Neoscream: 15th April 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, next Friday will see the release of the "Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works volume 2" Booster Set and Meister Set in English and "Idolmaster Cinderella Girls 2nd Season" Booster set in Japanese.
With Cardfight Vanguard, next Friday will see the release of the second G Start Deck "Knight of the Sun" in both English and Japanese. To my knowledge this will be the first time something is released in both English and Japanese at the same time. I think the new starter sets are a English thing and as the game in Japanese, a Japanese version was rushed out (as a cheap Trial deck then a Starter deck). Shame they cannot to world wide releases for all the sets.

Next is the HeroClix news. This week we got previews of: All four Turtles from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles starter set; and Magneto from Marvel The Uncanny X-Men.

Now for the Ninja Division news. Their new KickStarter, Rail Raiders Infinite, is still going. Since the last post they managed to unlock: Double the number of Lawbots and the downloadable scenario "Shadows of the Star Express" was added to the Space Cowboy pledge; the raider El 'Cola was be added to the Space Cowboy pledge; a second sculpt for the Lawbot Cavalries; the raider Jr Dallas was added to the Space Cowboy pledge level; a set of plastic Double Dollar tokens were added to the Space Cowboy pledge level; the Old Tyme Religion expansion as an add-on; and two Lawbot Cavalry Captains and three Lawbot Cavalry Soldiers will be added to the Space Cowboy pledge level.

As I post this the stretch goals that are still going are: The raider Rhinestone will be added to the Space Cowboy pledge level at $165k; Rail Raiders Infinite card sleeves will be added to the Space Cowboy pledge level at $180k; and the raider Canton Cobb will be added to the Space Cowboy pledge level at $200k.
It will be finishing on next Friday so let us see what they can unlock between now and then.
On other Ninja Division news, we got images of the SDF-1, Armored Valkyrie and YF-4 prototypes which they had at AdeptiCon for wave two of RoboTech RPG Tactics.

Next is the Privateer Press news. Their have revealed that they have been working on a third edition of both Warmachine and Hordes. The new edition of their games will be released at their event, "Lock and Loaded" that happens in June and also general release to retail stores late June early July. This will be a massive update to the games which will change a lot the mechanics. There will be used stat cards all the units and the way that Focus and Fury works is changing also the infants Tucson battlegroups is increasing as soon as I've always wanted to see large battlegroups. Units will be roughly doubling in points costs and the didcound Warlocks and Warlocks have to their battlegroup should be increasing from about six points to about twenty-one points. In theory this will basically cover all the Warjacks/Warbeasts in a Battlegroup box box set so that a battle group box will be zero points. The rules are meant to be easier for new players to get into. In the initial wave of releases we should be getting new rulebooks for both games, new Battlegroups for all or just the main factions and new card decks which will contain new unit cards that will replace the current cards like what they did when second edition was released.

Looking at an image of the new Cygnar Battlegroup box, the new Battlegroup box sets by the look of things will contain the same Warjacks/Warbeasts as the old ones but in new dynamic sculpts, an all new Warcaster/Warlock (confirmed for all Battlegroups), what looks like a cut down rulebook, what looks like a Faction Listing book, a paper play mate, dice, tokens, a ruler and terrain. Also by the look of things the figures will be in coloured hard plastic, that is coloured to the factions prime colour.

Now for the IDW games news. The pledge manager for their Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles board game is now online.

Next is the Cryptozoic news. The Ghostbusters The Board Game 2 has hit KickStarter and it was funded in two hours. They are two main pledge levels. The first being "Ghostbuster" which comes with just the game. The Second was "Proton Slinger" which comes with the game in a deluxe box, the Tully expansions and Glow in the Dark Ecton dice.
Since it started they have managed to unlock: The game was funded; the Lady Liberty vehicle was added to the Ghostbuster pledge level and above; the ghosts Brain Matter, Soar Throat and X-Cop were added to the Ghostbuster pledge level and above; the ghost The Grindel was added to the Proton Slinger pledge level and above; the Ghostbusters Garrett Miller and Roland Jackson was added to the Proton Slinger pledge level and above; and the Roylance Guide box and five new equipment cards were added to the Proton Slinger pledge level and above.
The stretch goals that are still going as I post this are: The ghost Bug Eye will be added to the Proton Slinger pledge level and above at $550k.
I have only backed this at $1 to receive the updates.

Now for the Cool Mini or Not news. The production of the second wave of Zombicide Black Plague is finished and now they are waiting to ship the containers to the warehouses.

Next is the Mantic news. Shipment of Deadzone Infestation should be starting in the middle of next week.

Lastly there is two KickStarters I have backed that I want to advertise here. First is "Odyssey: Argonauts". This is a KickStarter to add Argonaut figures to Odyssey's range of figures and to add opinions for them. Odyssey is a range of resin Greek mythology meets sci-fi figures. At least year's Salute I brought one of their old figures that was on clearance. The figure was Cirae and was a highlight in the goods I brought at Salute. Sadly I have not painted her up yet.
There are three main pledge levels. The first being "The Argonaut" which is just one Argonaut. The second is "We Three Kings" which is three Argonauts of your choice. And the third one is "Jason and the Argonauts" which comes with four Argonauts and their new Jason of Iolcos figure.

Since it started till now they have managed to unlock: Funded; three new alternative poses with new weapons/arms; a Shoulder Plate add-on set which one was also added to the "We Three Kings" pledge level and above; and a Head and Shield add-on set which was also added to the "Jason and the Argonauts" pledge level.
The stretch goals that are still going as I post this are: A wrist mounted weapons add-on set at £4.3k; and a Head and Shoulder plate add-on set at £4.6k.
I have backed this KickStarter at "We Three Kings" level. It will be finishing on Thursday so let us see what they can unlock between now and then.

The other KickStarter was "Fragged Empire RPG: Protagonist Archive and Miniatures". This is a expansion to the Fragged Empire role-play game. I have only backed this for a couple of the figures and not the game. From my experience role-play games on KickStarter are a total nightmare (Mekton Zero and Paranoia).
Since starting they have managed to unlock: Funded; and Expanded 'Locations' section by fifteen pages.
The stretch goals that are still going as I post this are: All the miniatures will come with a hand signed, premium quality art-card at $47.5k; expanded 'Prominent NPCs' section by fifteen pages at $55k; a Male Kaltoran miniature at $62.5k; and expanded Science, Technology, Psionics and Factions sections by ten pages at $70k. Please note that this is in Australian dollars, not USA dollars.
