MK HeroClix, the 30th of August, The Infinity "Win" Gauntlet

Welcome to another MK HeroClix post. First off the HeroClix news for this week. This week there were previews of two versions of Storm from Marvel HeroClix 10th Anniversary; two versions of The Flash from DC HeroClix 10th Anniversary; and Prince Ahmet from Assassins Creed. Also WizKids have added three new ATAs: Justice League 52, Justice League Dark and Animal.

This week's game was 500 point no ATAs, bring as many teams you want. I designed two teams, an Iron Man and Ultron team and Teen Titans team based on Young Justice.

Iron Man and Ultron (Armour Theme) Team
Iron Man (101 Marvel Galactic Guardians) 150
Ultron (208 Marvel Chaos War) 160
Iron Man Drone (002 Marvel Chaos War) 70
4x Iron Man Drone (002 Marvel Chaos War) 30 x 4 = 120
=500 points and four re-rolls.

Young Justice (Teen Titans Theme) Team
Superboy (026 DC 75th Anniversary)  153
Miss Martian (021 DC Arkham Asylum) 76
Kid Flash (001 DC Crisis) 45
Aqualad (004 DC Crisis) 40
Red Arrow (018 DC Crisis) 73
Robin (001 DC Crisis) 35
Nightwing (028 DC Crisis) 79
=501 points and four re-rolls.

There was no Adrian this week as he was off playing Magic: The Gathering this week. The first game was me vs Darren with Michael taking the bye. I was using my Teen Titan team while Darren was using a cheesy non themed who were:

Scarlet Witch (006 Marvel Chaos War Fast Forces) 75
Thanos (045 Marvel Galactic Guardians) 300 + Infinity Gauntlet 10 + Soul Gem 5 + Power Gem 5 + Time Gem 5 + Space Gem 5 + Reality Gem 5 = 335
Agent Coulson (206 Marvel Avengers Movies) 50
A.I.M. Agent (003 Incredible Hulk) 38
=498 points and no re-rolls.

With the Gauntlet the results when obvious, I lost. The Gauntlet is too powerful and I agree with Darren that in not be used in major tournament play. This was early shown at this year's World Tournament where all the players who made it to the final round were using it, and most had at less one Scarlet Witch from the Marvel Chaos War Fast Forces set. However, even without the Gauntlet, Thanos with help from Scarlet Witch's TK would had done me in. Oh and we for got to place any objects, however it would not have changed things. On the second round it was Darren vs Michael with me taking the bye. Darren was still using his cheesy team while Michael used a UNSC themed team who were:

Master Chief with Needler (013 Halo) 100
2x Spartan with Battle Rifle (010 Halo) 70 x 2= 140
2x Spartan with Plasma Rifle (019 Halo) 87 x 2 = 174
Spartan with Dual Needlers (012 Halo) 82
=496 points and four re-rolls.

Again the result was obvious, Darren won. On the third and final round it was me vs Michael with Darren taking the bye. I was still using my Armour themed team while Michael used his UNSC themed team. In this game I was having a nightmare to hit with Ultrons Pulse Wave. I needed 6s to hit and ended up missing more the hits. And When she did hit with Pulse Wave it was a 6 dead on. Ultron's ability to bring back my Iron Man Drone's proved very useful later on and the UNSC could not take the waves of drones. This led to me winning the game.

Next week should be 400 points, one figure most have the Deity.

Now for this week's DreamClix section. This week I am doing ideas for the GN-001 Gundam Exia from Mobile Suit Gundam 00; and two different versions of Sari Sumdac from Transformers: Animated. But first I have designs of Deckman from Battle Angel Alita; a Cosplay card of Lexicon; Grune from Thundercats; Gin from One Piece; and the Krieg Pirates team ability.

Next is the GN-001 Gundam Exia from Mobile Suit Gundam 00. Designated as a 3rd-Generation Gundam, the Gundam Exia is built with close combat as its major strength. The unit is the successor to GNY-001 Gundam Astraea and one of the predecessor to GN-0000 00 Gundam; much of Exia's design was heavily influenced from the Astraea. While there are strong similarities to Astraea, Exia has its own differences from weapons to systems. Exia was created as a high-mobility unit to greatly supplement its close combat role. In order to maximize its potential in speed and movement, its legs was given the best human articulation as possible to improve its Active Mass Balance Auto Control (AMBAC). The trade-off is the reduction of armour parts in several joints that reveal its internal frame; its MS frame is more vulnerable against enemy attacks. However, the pilot can defend against enemy attacks with Exia's GN Shield. It is high mobility design has served Exia well as it has the lowest being-hit rate amongst the four 3rd-generation Gundams. The Seven Swords System refers to the wide array of GN Blades that was designed and used on the Exia. While, redundancy and flexibility was built into the weapons selection for multiple scenarios and specializations in close combat situations, this was intentional as Exia's armaments were solid armaments instead of beams. The development of solid state swords was to anticipate against enemy units that could potentially rival the other Gundams. The sheath of GN Particles surrounding the blade interact with and eventually negate the tightly clustered particles of a GN Field for direct penetration. Exia's head contains the blackbox device used for quantum communication interface with Veda as well as some particle control ability. Its GN Condensers also can show visually the amount of particles it holds as well as the particle compression rate it is currently using. This ability is also used for secret communication with friendly forces. When extreme firepower and defense is needed, Exia can receive combat support from GNR-001E GN Arms Type-E and the Assault Container. The GN Arms Type E itself is a customized transformable fighter, with mid-range beam weaponry and melee weapons themed after Exia's weapons silhouette. When greater power is needed, Exia and GN Arms can combine to become a mobile armor. Exia's GN Drive docks right into the MA to power the weapons platform. If a situation arises where greater mobility is needed, Exia can be equipped with its own specialized armour, the Avalanche Pack. The Assault Container works on conjunction with the GN Arms and Exia as a miniature armed MS carrier. It was designed to dock both Exia and GN Arms for atmospheric entry and exit missions. It's heavily armored and has enough fire power to match an entire ESF battlefleet. In addition, the Exia's extension cone chassis possess an ability that can temporarily increase the output of the equipped GN Drive and the ability of the suit temporarily in "burst"-like mode. However, this ability was rarely used as it is considered unstable however it was seen to be used in its upgraded form, the Exia Repair II. Exia's overall capabilities can be enhanced through the power of the Trans-Am System. With the Seven Sword armament combined with the skills of Meister, Setsuna F. Seiei, the Gundam Exia was a machine to be feared in close combat. It should have Charge, a special called "Trans-Am", the flight symbol, Invulnerability, Toughness, Blades, Exploit Weakness and Perplex.
Trans-Am: GN-001 Gundam Exia can use Hypersonic and Super Senses.

It should have eight clicks of health and starting combat values of Speed 10, Attack 11, Defence 19, Damage 3 and Range 6 with one target. Its team ability should be the Mobile Suit one and its keywords should be Celestial Being and Gundam. The next Gundam 00 idea should be a pilot card for Setsuna F. Seiei.

Next is Sari Sumdac from Transformers: Animated. Sari Sumdac, the technorganic daughter of robotics genius Isaac Sumdac, used to not get out much. She spent all her time within her father's laboratories, receiving her education from robots. Despite this, she does not seem like a shut-in. She's curious, excitable, adventurous, and knows that crying can sometimes get her what she wants. She's just never known what it's like to be around other kids. Fortunately, she has Bumblebee and Bulkhead to help with that, and she claims that 'Bee is the best friend she's ever had. In fact, she's become very possessive of all her robotic friends. It was believed that Sari was a normal human, until it was revealed that she was made from a protoform and her father's DNA. Hence, the AllSpark viewed her with great regard, bestowing upon her a key with miraculous powers (though her guardian, the robotic dog Sparkplug, thought it was just another chew toy). Since discovering her true origin, she has absorbed the power of her AllSpark-powered Key to gain incredible Cybertronian powers and abilities such as enhanced strength, speed, and the ability to create destructive spheres of pure white, glowing energy with her hands, as well as the power and ability to transform into an armored form with several technological weapons (most of which Ratchet was forced to seal away after she proved unable to control them). She also owns a scooter which can transform into a jet pack. I am going to do two versions of her kid and teenager. First of the kid version. She should have Stealth, a special called "ALTER EGO: Self-Upgrade" and a trait call "The Key".
ALTER EGO: Self-Upgrade: Give Sari Sumdac a power action that deals no pushing damage and replace this character with #TFA-002 Sari Sumdac on her orange starting line.
The Key: At the beginning of your turn roll a d6 that cannot be re-rolled. Until the beginning of you next turn, Sari Sumdac can use the following power based on what she rolled:
1 or 2 Support
3 or 4 Perplex
5 or 6 Probability Control
She should have about three or four clicks of health and starting combat values of Speed 6, Attack 9, Defence 17, Damage 0 and Range 0. She should not have team ability and her keywords should be Kid, Robot, Autobots and Technorganic.

Next is the teenage/upgraded version of Sari Sumdac. She should have the flight symbol, Earthbound (on the first and maybe last click), Incapacitate, Super Senses and a special called "Cybertronian Powers".
Cybertronian Powers: Sari Sumdac can use Support and Perplex.
She should have about four clicks of health and starting combat values of Speed 9, Attack 9, Defence 17, Damage 2 and Range 4 with one target. She should have the Autobots team ability and her keywords should be Robot, Autobots and Technorganic. The next Transformers Animated idea should be Prowl.

Next I want to do a special feature in this week's DreamClix. This is the first of three wish lists. There will be a Marvel and Street Fighter ones in the next two weeks, but first I am starting with DC. Ok, apart from Batman, I am not a really big DC fan so this list is going to be small and non 52.  I like to a REV set style Stephanie Brown with rookie being her as Spoiler, experience being her as Robin and veteran being her as Batgirl. Ok we do have a Spoiler, but is is very old. Also so of other Lantern alien characters that have not been done yet (there are tons of them for each colour). Oh and after watching Young Justice, a new Miss Martian would be nice too. Also if they step out of the none comic DC stuff, I would like to see old man Bruce Wayne from Batman Beyond(Future).

Lastly is the DrceamClix Dial Designs page update news. On Saturday I did the five and final of the Naruto updates. Which includes four new dials and a new map that are shown below. Also I added the Nintendo stuff on Sunday which includes a new dial shown below. There should be at least an update to the page on Saturday which should be the first of five One Piece updates and on Sunday which should be second.

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

Cosmic Cosplay for the week of the 28th of May to the 3rd of June

Jsica in "First Child"

Rei Ayanami from Evangelion

Hi all and welcome to Cosmic Cosplay post. Cosmic Cosplay is a weekly post that happens on a Sunday were I talk about the new Cosplay Deviants sets, any Cosplay Deviants news I learn about, information about updates for CosmicBreak, Minecraft news when there is any and three (normally) DreamClix ideas/designs.

First off are this week's Cosplay Deviants sets. On Wednesday there was a revisit again to Chibi’s set Trespasser. Hang on here! This set was revisited almost two months ago! As I already talked about the set and posted a picture back then, I will not post them this week. The set on Saturday was a new set from the fantastic and wonderful deviant Jsica. Hippy. It is called “First Child”, and in it she cosplays as my favourite Evangelion character, the blue hair wonder child Rei Ayanami. A ready great set like always from Jsica and is her most reviling set so far. I was shock that it was not a plug suit set as all the pictures of Jsica cosplaying as Rei were in the plug suit. Sadly I have not seen the whole set in full size as the site has crashed. Most likely due to the set over loading it with traffic. I wish Lexicon was still around for a dream Evangelion group set. Oh and throw in Kandie too. On other Jsica news there is a new Mail news video from her on her YouTube account GeekySica.

Next is the CosmicBreak update news. No real news this week apart from Ouka is in this week’s weekly garapon. Also there is no Minecraft news this week also.

Now for the last section of the post, the DreamClix Section. This week I am doing ideas for Ouka from CosmicBreak and The Player Character from Minecraft. But first here is a design of the Cosplay card for the deviant Freckle.

Next is Ouka from CosmicBreak. This will be her samurai form. A warrior on a quest for revenge. Her sharp stare penetrates the hearts of her enemies, and her beauty hides deep sorrow. She should have two traits called “Revenge” and “MORPH (Ouka)”, Hyper Sonic, Charge, Blades, Indomitable Invulnerability and Toughness.

Revenge: Once per game you may choose one opposing character. When this character attacks the chosen character, modify the chosen character’s defence value by -1.

MORPH (Ouka): Give Ouka a move action that deals no pushing damage. After the action resolves, replace her with any character with this trait on the same click number.

She should have about five clicks of health and starting combat values of Speed 10, Attack 11, Defence 18, Damage 3 and Range 0. Her team ability should be the LND one and her keywords should be Robot, Unions and Warrior. The next Cosmic Break idea should be Ouka Dayu, Ouka’s other form.

Lastly there is the Player Character from Minecraft. Minecraft is a sandbox construction game, inspired by Infiniminer, Dwarf Fortress and Dungeon Keeper, created by Markus Persson, the founder of Mojang AB. The game involves players creating and destroying various types of blocks in a three dimensional environment. The player takes an avatar that can destroy or create blocks, forming fantastic structures, creations and artwork across the various multiplayer servers in multiple game modes. The Player Chararcter should have a trait called “Workbench”, a special called “Wooden Tools”, “Leather Armour” (Toughness) and “Cooked Chicken” (Regeneration).

Workbench: Give Player Character a power action and choose one of the following:

• Remove one Martial token and place a Derby token adjacent to this character.
• Remove two Martial token and place a Light Object token adjacent to this character.
• Remove three Martial token and replace this character with #MC-002 “Player Character in Iron” on the same click number.

Wooden Tools: Give this character a power action and destroy one piece of wall or Blocking terrain or object and place one Martial token on to this character’s card. Each time an adjacent opposing character in KO’d, place one Martial token on to this character’s card.

They should have about five clicks of health and starting combat values of Speed 7, Attack 9, Defence 16, Damage 1 and Range. They should not have a team ability or any keywords. The next Other section idea should be May Kanker from Ed, Edd n Eddy.

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

Cosmic Cosplay for the week of the 7th to the 13th of May. Birthday special

Epiphany in "Hunter"

Hi all and welcome to Cosmic Cosplay post. Cosmic Cosplay is a weekly post that happens on a Sunday were I talk about the new Cosplay Deviants sets; any Cosplay Deviants news I learn about; information about updates for CosmicBreak, Star Trek Online and Minecraft; and three (normally) DreamClix ideas/designs. This week's post is a birthday special as today is my birthday.

Nova in "Thrill Killer"

First off is last week's Cosplay Deviants sets. On Wednesday there was a new set from the new deviant, Epiphany. The set is called Hunter and in it she Cosplays as a generic female hunter in Kirin armour from the Monster Hunter games. The set on Saturday was a new set from the head deviant Nova. The set is called Thrill Killer and in it she cosplays as Dr. Harleen Frances Quinzel aka Harley Quinn from DC Batman comics.

Next is the CosmicBreak update news. Only real news is that Three Guardians, Connie, and Patty Lops are all in this week's Weekly Garapon and the Abyss Mission has be extended.

There was no updates for Star Trek Online and Minecraft updates.

Now for the last section of the post, the DreamClix Section. This week I am doing ideas for a cosplay card for the former deviant Lexicon and cosplay card for me. But first here is a designs for Ninjamus Prime and the Autobots team ability.

Next is a cosplay card for the former deviant Lexicon. She should follow the standard format of the other Cosplay Deviants cosplay cards. She should also gain the Past keyword and her special should be: At the beginning of the game add one Theme team re-roll to you pool. If this character is KO'd remove a Theme team re-roll from you pool if there are any left.
Her half price list should be Princess Buttercup, Asuka Langley Soryu, Asuka Langley Shikinami, Elyse, Misty and Taiga Aisaka.

Lastly is cosplay card for me. I am using my user name Neoscream for the card. I should gain the Cosplay keyword and no team abilities. My special should be: This character has Earthbound. When this character is on the field the results of criticals are doubled. (Critical Hits add two to damage and critical misses deals you two damage.
My half price list should be Neoscream, Hyniks, Ninjamus Prime, Iron Man, Tony Stark, Cyclops, Kakashi Hatake and Leaf Village Ninja. The next special should of of Hyniks.

Until next time, Mecha Up.

Cosplay Deviants: Kandie - The Beast

This Wednesday's Cosplay Deviants set was from the veteran Deviant Kandie. In this set Kandie cosplays as the new Eva pilot Mari Illustious Mankinami from Rebuilding of Evangelion. I have been wait a long time to see this set, ever since seeing pictures of Kandie cosplaying as Mari at conventions. This is a great set and she has done fantastic job of Mari. Would love to see her done any of two different plug suits that Mari wears. There is a dream set I would love to see. A set with the three female eva pilots. Kandie as Mari, Lexicon as Asuka and Jsica as Rei. However this will never happen as Lexicon has retired. There is also a rumour that Cosplay Deviants's Administrator does not like Jsica's Rei look, but like I said this is just a rumour. Anyway this Saturday's set will be from Noel. She will cosplaying as Maka from Soul Eater. This is a bit odd as it is still not the Sakura from Naruto Shippuden set. Has the sites Administrator decided to dump it after accepting it as I am sure it was one of the first sets Noel submitted. Well anyway until next time, have fun. (Yes I did have the wrong name but I have fixed it now)

Labels A to Z, Part 7

Alexis (Lexicon) cosplaying as Asuka
Langley Soryu from Evangelion in her
school uniform

Labels A to Z - NSL - In online computer systems terminology, a tag (Label) is a non-hierarchical keyword or term assigned to a piece of information (such as an Internet bookmark, digital image, or computer file). This kind of metadata helps describe an item and allows it to be found again by browsing or searching. Tags are generally chosen informally and personally by the item's creator or by its viewer, depending on the system. I use this label when talking about my labels for this blog.

Lexicon - NSL - Lexicon or Alexis (her real name) use to be a Deviant  from Cosplay Deviants but has retired due to personal reasons which you can lean from her blog Dollhouse Discourse, link to the right of the page under Blogs I Follow. All her released sets are still up on Cosplay Deviants. She was my favouret Deviant and she is missed. She made Asuka Langley Soryu from Evangelion look fantastic, this coming from a big Rei fan. As she is not a Deviant any more I have left her her own label.

Manga - NSL - "Manga" as a term used outside Japan refers specifically to comics originally published in Japan. However, manga-influenced comics, among original works, exist in other parts of the world, particularly in Taiwan ("manhua"), South Korea ("manhwa"), and the People's Republic of China, notably Hong Kong ("manhua"). In France, "la nouvelle manga" has developed as a form of bande dessinée (literally drawn strip) drawn in styles influenced by Japanese manga. In the United States, people refer to manga-like comics as Amerimanga, world manga, or original English-language manga (OEL manga).

Mates - NSL - Mate is a colloquialism used to refer to a friend and is commonly used in the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Ireland, but is now dated in the United States. It is or has been used interchangeably with many equivalent terms, such as buddy (popular in United States/Canada), pal (Scottish) or cobber (Australian/New Zealand only). I use this label when I am talking about my mates in my Neoscream's Life Post. I use to have labels for each one, but like with the Deviants, Smartz Girls and anima shows, it made far too many labels, so I decided to group them up. I do not use this label when talking but Blaire as she does have her own label or when I am talking about Darren from Heroclix in the Heroclix post.

Mechwarrior - MSW - MechWarrior (Dark Age/Age of Destruction) was a tabletop wargame by WizKids set in the BattleTech universe that uses the Clix system. The game's miniatures are pre-painted models of infantry squads, vehicles, and giant walking war machines known as BattleMechs. Mechwarrior is played on a 36" x 36" game surface with each player taking turns giving his units 'orders' that involve moving and/or attacking opposing units. A measuring tape and three D6 (six sided dice) are used while executing these orders. Frequently miniaturized 'terrain', such as buildings (blocking terrain), forests (hindering terrain) or lakes (shallow water), is placed on the game board. The victor is determined after one or more 'victory conditions' have been achieved by a player or when the predetermined time limit for the game has been reached, depending on the game scenario that is being played. The game may be purchased in booster packs just like Heroclix in a similar fashion to Magic: The Gathering and Yu-Gi-Oh, but there are ways of acquiring particular pieces without spending large quantities of money on packs. Trade is the most common option, followed by purchases on eBay. There are units that you can only acquire through trade or send-aways, such as the Battleforces and the Designer Series Mechs and pilots. There are several factions to collect, and many are interconnected by alliances and other relations. Many of the factions from Classic Battletech were introduced into the game and the game has several original factions as well. In keeping with the spirit of the Battletech universe, there are also many mercenary units referred to as Gunslingers. In 2003, MechWarrior won the Origins Awards for Best Illustration 2002, Best Science Fiction or Fantasy Miniatures Series 2002 and Game of the Year 2002. In 2005, WizKids updated MechWarrior: Dark Age. In conjunction with a rules overhaul, the game was renamed MechWarrior: Age of Destruction. In early 2008, WizKids announced that MechWarrior franchise will be put on hiatus until further notice. No new announcements about the franchise future has been made other than a new novel based on franchise was due to released on November 19, 2008. On November 10, 2008, Topps announced the closure of Wizkids. NECA, who brought Wizkids over a year ago has made no statement about bringing the game back, however I think Topps still kept the rights to Battletech meaning NECA can not if they wanted to. I use this label when I talk about any of the Mechwarrior game on my MS Wars blog but on this blog I use Gaming.

The next Labels A to Z post will be Meerkats, Model Making, Movement, MS Wars and Naming. Pictures, links and a little more detail to come later. Until next time enjoy

Labels A to Z, Part 6

Gaming - NSL - Gaming is the playing of a game. A role-playing game (RPG) is a broad family of games in which players assume the roles of characters in a fictional setting. Players take responsibility for acting out these roles within a narrative, either through literal acting, or through a process of structured decision-making or character development. Actions taken within the game succeed or fail according to a formal system of rules and guidelines. The original form, sometimes called the pen-and-paper RPG, is conducted through speech, whereas in live action role-playing games (LARP) players physically perform their characters' actions. In both of these forms, an arranger called a game master (GM) usually decides on the rules and setting to be used and acts as referee, while each other player plays the role of a single character. Several varieties of RPG also exist in electronic media, including multi-player text-based MUDs and their graphics-based successors, massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs). Role-playing games also include single-player offline role-playing video games in which players control a character or team who undertake quests, and whose capabilities advance using statistical mechanics. These games often share settings and rules with pen-and-paper RPGs, but emphasize character advancement more than collaborative storytelling.
Tabletop game is a general term used to refer to board games, card games, dice games, miniatures wargames, tile-based games and other games that are normally played on a table or other flat surface. The term is used to distinguish these types of games from sports and video games, which today enjoy more popularity than most tabletop games. The term is also used to distinguish role-playing games from role-playing video games, although role-playing games may not necessarily require a wide playing surface.
A video game is an electronic game that involves interaction with a user interface to generate visual feedback on a video device. The word video in video game traditionally referred to a raster display device. However, with the popular use of the term "video game," it now implies any type of display device. The electronic systems used to play video games are known as platforms; examples of these are personal computers and video game consoles. These platforms range from large mainframe computers to small handheld devices. Specialized video games such as arcade games, while previously common, have gradually declined in use. The input device used to manipulate video games is called a game controller, and varies across platforms. For example, a dedicated console controller might consist of only a button and a joystick. Another may feature a dozen buttons and one or more joysticks. Early personal computer games often needed a keyboard for gameplay, or more commonly, required the user to buy a separate joystick with at least one button. Many modern computer games allow, or even require, the player to use a keyboard and mouse simultaneously. Video games typically also use other ways of providing interaction and information to the player. Audio is almost universal, using sound reproduction devices, such as speakers and headphones. Other feedback may come via haptic peripherals, such as vibration or force feedback, with vibration sometimes used to simulate force feedback.
I use this Label on this blog when I am talking about a game that is not Heroclix or talking about playing games including Heroclix.

Gundam - MSW - The original Mobile Suit Gundam was an animated science-fiction series which debuted on Japanese television in 1979. In this groundbreaking series, the traditional giant robots of Japanese anime were for the first time portrayed as realistic war machines instead of invincible superheroes. The people who used these machines to fight in a futuristic space war were complex characters whose motivations and beliefs didn't break down into simple good and evil, and the story encompassed human drama and social commentary as well as thrilling robot battles. Mobile Suit Gundam's popularity led to a series of sequels and follow ups - first a three-part movie compilation, then a succession of new television serials, original videos, and theatrical films. After three decades, this Gundam saga has expanded to include eleven television series, four video series, a dozen movies, and countless novels, comics, and original video game adventures. This saga encompasses seven different worlds, each with its own unique history and society, and showcases the work of the most celebrated talents of the anime industry. Although this saga's stories encompass centuries of future history and span several alternate worlds, they all share a single unifying element - the legendary line of fighting machines which bear the name of Gundam. From the prototype RX-78 Gundam featured in the original series, to the unique and colourful machines which star in later stories like Gundam Seed and Gundam 00, all these stories recount the adventures of heroic Gundams and their brave pilots. I use this label when I talk about anything Gundam on my MS Wars blog. On this blog I currently use the Anime label however I might give it its own label due to the vast size of it.

Heresy - MSW - Heresy Multi Part Miniatures is a web store were you will find a range of 28mm 'heroic' scale fantasy miniatures designed for those who love individuality in their models. All Heresy miniatures are multi-part kits to a larger or lesser degree. Wherever possible and worthwhile (ie it's actually going to be useful to do so), they have a separate head or hands so that they can be easily converted to your liking. All they miniatures are made by them and they have a nice Scientists and Civilians range in their Sci-Fi (Doctor Who). Warning their prices will go up on the 13th of this month I use this label when I talk about them in my MS Wars blog. Here is a link to their web store http://www.heresyminiatures.com/index.htm.

Heroclix - NSL / MSW - HeroClix is a collectible miniatures game originally designed and produced by WizKids, and now owned and marketed by NECA. Players construct teams of comic book heroes and villains and play out a battle between the teams turn-by-turn on a grid map. HeroClix utilizes the combat dial system created for the game Mage Knight, which keeps track of a figure's game statistics via a rotating dial in the base. As the figure suffers damage, the dial is turned to reveal new stats and special abilities. HeroClix was designed to appeal to comic book fans, players of wargames, and collectors, and the base set, Marvel's Infinity Challenge was released in 2002. The original HeroClix figures were all from comic books printed by Marvel Comics, but later expanded to include sets from DC Comics and from various independent publishers such as Image Comics and Dark Horse Comics. Later expansions also added new card-based mechanics such as Feats and Battlefield Conditions, expanding the game beyond the addition of new characters. As of March 2009, there are approximately 3,300 different HeroClix figures, maps, and game play items. The expansions won three awards at the 2002 Origins Awards including Best Science Fiction or Fantasy Game Board Game for Marvel HeroClix: Infinity Challenge. WizKids had a prize support system for organized tournaments at comic book and hobby shops, as well as regionally and nationally, consisting of special limited edition variant figures given to winners.

Inquisitor - MSW - Inquisitor is a tabletop miniatures game based in Games Workshop's Warhammer 40,000 Universe. Whereas Warhammer 40,000 is based on squad based tactical warfare, Inquisitor focuses on a small group of adventurers and plays a bit like a Role-playing game. Inquisitor has its own website and 54 mm scale models are available as "Specialist Games" from the Games Workshop catalogue. Players choose a warband, usually made up of an Inquisitor and his/her henchmen, but also potentially led by any of a huge variety of rogues and heroes from throughout the Imperium such as Rogue Traders, Space Marines or Tech-priests. It even offers the chance to take on the guise of some of the Imperium's greatest enemies, such as Chaos Sorcerers, Genestealer Cult Leaders or twisted Mutants. I use this label when I talk about any of the Inquisitor game on my MS Wars blog but on this blog I use Gaming.

The next Labels A to Z post will be Labels A to Z, Lexicon, Manga, Mates and Mechwarrior. Until next time, enjoy.

PS. On Thursday there will be a big announcement on Cosplay Deviants. What it is I do not know, however the site Admin has stated that it is costing a lot of money.

Cosplay Deviants

Cosplay Deviants is an adult cosplay website were the models known as Deviants summits photo shots of them in cosplay as anime or comic book characters and then stripe. I found the site on a post on a site called FAKKU! I origanally join as 4QP8JqUA (a random user name that was given to me), but now I have a real user name. Can you guess? Neoscream! Lexicon, was my favourate Deviant, but due to problems (read her blog Dollhouse Discourse) she is no longer a part of the site. However her photo shots are still up. Now a days Quinn is my favouret on the site, with new girl Noel at second and Jsica at third. As I said before I will make a post if any of them have a new photo shoot put up and talking a bit about the shoot and the Deviant. Hope you all enjoy the post, until next time.

Posts!!!!!

OK, I slight change of plan, I have decided to talk but my blogs and my plans for them. I might do a general chat about Cosplay Deviants later this week or some time next week. Below is a list of the different types of posts I make or plan to do in the future.

Watch, Listen and Read - Weekly post normally on Sunday night or Monday. - Here I list all the shows I have watch, podcasts I have listened to, books, comics and manga I have read and DVDs, books and video games I have brought. Some times this may include a review of a show I have just finished or a talk about a new season of anime coming up or a talk about the UK anime industry.

Heroclix - Weekly post unless it does not happen, posts happens any time after Thursday. - Normally every Thursday I go to play a collectable comic book miniatures game called Heroclix with sadly only three other players normally. I talk about the team I build, a bit about the others' teams and how well I done. I am planning to also talk a bit about the new Heroclix news.

Blaire - Weekly post but use to be whenever she was on. - Here I normally log my chats with her, her tweets on Twitter and I also talk about her. Blaire is a girl I know off MFC, who I have a huge crush on.

M.S. Wars Update - Every week or two on my M.S. Wars blog. - Here I talk about the progress of the game and slowly posting up the rules for the game.

Cosplay Deviants - Whenever Cosplay Deviants adds a new quinn, Noel or Jsica gallery or one to a nice new model. - Here I will talk about the new gallery on the site from these three Deviants and news on them and former Deviants Lexicon.

Wii Fit and Friends - Whenever/Weekly. - Yes this might be coming back. Here I record and chat about my progress on Wii Fit and Wii Sports too in the future and probable other game Wii and X-Box 360 games.

Specials - Whenever. - These are posts that do not fit in with any of the other posts and can appear on ever of my blogs. Like the Suzysmartz post, the Stan Lee post and the Campaign post on M.S. Wars. This includes the Review posts I was planing to be a weekly post in the past but never done any apart from Monster Hunter Tri and Campaign.

Well hope you all enjoy. The next post should be ever a Heroclix one or a Cosplay Deviants one.

PS. It looks like Blaire will be finishing college sooner then I thought, as according to her tweeter post last night, Tuesday night is her later night of homework. Hippy no more stress and more sleep for Blaire. Hoping to see her again soon then.

Chatting with Blaire 12th April plus blog updates

I forgot to added this bit on the last Chat with Blaire post so I will added it here. Ever I missed it on Tuesday night (last week) or sometime on Wednesday (last week) but Blaire added a 14 picture gallery (later updated to 17) to her profile on MFC of her wearing that Black and White lace lingerie she brought about two weeks ago. However it was password protected and until she comes on-line next I cannot get the password. Also most models want X amount of tokens for access to password protected galleries. However if she is after tokens for it there is no amount noted and I am still waiting for my card. If she is after 100 or more tokens and if she wants me to pay as well, I will see if it is better to get her something on Amazon. As 100 tokens is $10 to me, while Blaire would only get between $3 to $4. However the cheapest thing on her list are the socks at $12 with $4 postage and packing, so it will cost my $17 (70% more) and she would get something that would of cost her $12 (at least three time more than 100 tokens). That should cover 100 to 150 tokens from me. If it 200 tokens I could get her the Honeydew Intimates Lace Ruffle Rumba Hipster Panty. But first I still need my new bank card to do anything (which I got on Friday). Blaire has not been online for the rest of the week (last week). I do know she is a very busy girl doing other things, but it does not stop me from worrying if something has happened. I thought Skype would stop all of the worrying as I could hear from her more often. I do really miss her.

Now but to the post, about 1am this morning Blaire was on line on both Skype and MFC, but not on video. I first said hi to her on Skype but there was no reply. After I while I tried PM her as there must have been a reason she was on MFC and not on camera for this long. She then replired to the PM 15 minutes later.

I thought everything was Ok, but she never came on to MFC later. When I get up Suzy just came on line I went into her room as she is a laugh to listen to. I worked on the watching post of last week for the blog as I had never written it. About an hour and a half later Suzy got a phone call. Everybody including me realised it was Blaire who phoned her by the comments Suzy made. All apart from me were asking about the password but I asked “why isn't she on”. Then Suzy said to her “Yes he is listening.” For some odd reason I know it was me they were talking about. Then Suzy said to everyone, “I’m turning off my Camera to be a good friend” and then she left. I found out later I was wrong but I leave that to next time. And the socks are in the post.

I am trying to and Labels to my posts. If any of you have better ideas for labels, please let me know. Also I have started The M.S. Wars blog. There this a link to it on the right side of the page under "blogs that i own or follow". Dollhouse Discourse is by someone I knew from CosplayDeviants.com, Lexicon. Sadly there has been a falling out was the site own (read her blog) and she no longer does any cosplay shots on it and all her old ones have been taken down. She will be missed. This coming from a big Rei fan, she made Asuka look so damn sexy.

Update 07/06: the old picture of Lexicon have not been taken down like I thought.
