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.
“Blog News”
There is no “Painting and Converting” section this
week due to camera problems.
“Gaming News”
First off we have the HeroClix news. We got previews
of: White Tiger and Captain America from Marvel Age of Ultron Event; and Agent
Coulson, Agent May, Fitz and H.E.N.R.Y. from Marvel Nick Fury Agent of
S.H.I.E.L.D. Fast Forces.
Next is the Cardfight Vanguard news. G Title Booster
1: Touken Ranbu -ONLINE- is now out in Japanese.
Now
for the Mantic news. With Deadzone Infestation we got images of the
Veerminators figures.
With
DreadBall, backers of DreadBall Xtreme now have the PDFs for Season Five,
Season Six, Xtreme Xpansion and DreadBall Challenge Cup.
Next is the Ninja Division news. News on the Super
Dungeon Explore Forgotten King wave two. With US and Australia they have
started shipping. With everyone else shipment should have begun.
With Ninja All-Stars, we got to see the production
plastics for all the Shrine Ninjas and the Samurai Sentries.
With Robotech RPG Tactics this week we got a look at
the convention exclusive Grell in Male Power Armour as well painted images of
the convention exclusive Miriya's Super Valkyrie. The pledge manager for the
convention exclusive stuff and new Earth Forces stuff has been extended to
August.
Now for the Wyrd Games news. This Monday we got images
of the new Story Encounter and Adventure box for Through the Breach and
Malifaux, “Brotherhood of the Rat".
Next is the Guild Ball news. This week we got the look
ar two more Season Two figures. These are Scalpel a captain for the Mortician’s
team and Compound who is a big player who works for both the Alchemist and
Engineer teams but is not Union.
Now for the Stonehaven Miniatures news. They have
cancelled their new KickStarted, Stonehaven Peacekeeper’s Oath, but plan on
restarting in later. This was because they plan on doing some changes to it.
Next is the Kingdom Death news. There is a limited
time only pre-order promotion for the Kingdom Death Monster game. Pre-order by
Sunday to get it for $275 instead of $400. Now by the send of it this this the
only time you can pre-order the game and at a heavily cut down price. Yes this
is an expensive game, but you get a LOT for it. The estimated dispatch is
October 2015. Now will this be after or the same time as the KickStarters? I do
not know, but I have updated the date to October for KickStarters just in case. With this we also got images of the box content and a final break down of the content of the box game. Click Here to preorder page to see more and to get this awesome thing.
Also there was a restock in the store. Sadly I did now
about the restock until late night so I might have missed a couple of thing, but
I did finally get the Thief figure. The stuff currently in stock as I post this
are the Kingdom Death Monster re-order, Percival, both the male and female Apotheosis,
Fighter, Thief, Ammo Slave, Savior, both the male and female Warrior of the Sun
and the Pinups of Death Hard Plastic Collection.
Now for the Thunderbirds Co-operative Board Game news.
A PDF of the rulebook is available to download now. It is not the true final
version as they need to still do some spell/grammar checking and double
checking things like working of rules before it goes to print. I have a feeling
that is why we have it now.
Next is the Zero Agents news. A survey for the doubles
in the Elite Operative box set is up. This is to decide which three of the
seven sculpts will have a second figure in the set. The eight sculpt is only
available to order separately.
Now for the Home Raiders news. We got previews of some
of the figures from the new factions.
Next is the Mechabrick news. This week we got a look
at the samples moulded T1 Mechabrick mech in a semi-translucent test plastic.
It is looking great. Also they are now doing a robot endo-skeleton so that
people can build their mechs without buying Lego Minifigs.
Oh and they have also added some more stuff to the starter set like the shield.
Lastly there is the Yashima: Legend of the Kami Master
news. We have shipping news for wave one KickStarter stuff now. With the USA the
Core games will be starting shipping to backers next week. It would have started
shipping this week, but unfortunately there were delays with the trucking
company. With the EU Wave, the core games is scheduled to arrive at their EU
distributor on Monday. And with Australia shipping should have started.
