Welcome

miniature games, RPGs, some card games, my painting and upcoming local events.
“Gaming

version), Clay Quartermain, Eric Koenig, Dum Dum Dugan and Steve Rogers from
Marvel Nick Fury Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D..
Now for the Mantic news. Mantic have
be showing off the work that is going into their Enforcer Interceptor for
Warpath. It look get and a lot like the Skyranger from XCOM. I Might have to
pick one up to go with my XCOM board game.
With DeadZone this week we got CAD
images of the Kalyshi.
With Kings of War this week the
Kickstarter is over halfway through shipping wave one to backers.
Next
is the Wyrd Games news. This Monday we got a preview of the Ghoul Pursuit from the upcoming Through the Breach
expansion book Under Quarantine.
Now
for the Bushiroad news (now including Weiß Schwar). For Cardfight this month
will see the release of G Comic Booster One “Vanguard and Deletor” in Japan on
the 26th. Sadly there are no English releases this month.
With
Weiß Schwarnth this month will see the release of the Booster Pack “Puella Magi
Madoka Magica The Movie -Rebellion-” in English, in fact it is out today.
Next
is the Crooked Dice Games news. They have added a PDF copy Paranormal
Exterminator Programme Guide for 7TV to their web store. It costs £4.
Now
for the Cool Mini or Not news. With Blood Rage most of the products are on
ships heading to the warehouses. Please note that the rough dates I am about to
say are the ships docking and not arriving at the warehouses. The USA and the
rest of the world stuff should arrive early to mid October, the Canada stuff
should arrive end of September, the EU stuff should be mid September, the
boat(s) with the Australia and New Zealand stuff have not left China yet and
with Asia the stuff should be shipping to backers this month.
Next
is the Guild Ball news. A couple of pre-orders for Season Two will be starting
soon (today). The Season Two releases will be split up throughout the rest of
this year and the whole of next year. There will be forty new models which I
will go into more detail in a moment, Season 2 Token Sets, a Campaign Packs and
Season 2 Rulebook. The forty new models for Season Two will be: Eight new
Captains, eight new Mascots, nine new Additional Players, seven Veteran Players
and the Hunters Guild which has eight Players. With the Season Two models they
plan on releasing one every two weeks. The first will be Sakana, a Fisherman's
Guild player who is out on the 25th of September and the second
being Tenderiser, a Butcher's Guild player who is out on the 9th of
October.
Now
for the Megacon Games news. Due to the Pledge Manager they have added ten
Infected models to both Hero and Minion pledge levels.
Next
is the Kingdom Death news. After two months of waiting we finally got a full
update on the KickStarter page. Wave one shipmen is worldwide, however it is
being sent from their studio in the USA than the warehouse. So there might be
changes. Because of this every reward box has a gift of the White Speaker in it
and if you are not getting survivor level rewards, then your gift will be
included the Twilight Knight too. Survivor level backers will get the gift
Twilight Knight in their survivor reward box.
Oh, to make things clearer wave one is the pinups, promos, dice, extra
heads, resins, t-shirts and armour kits. It does not include the core game,
survivor level rewards or expansions.
The
Challenge Scenarios and promo rules have not been sent it wave one, but will be
sent to Resin Beta Backers this month to do some final tests. They should be
sent to backer as a PDF in November 2015.
For
wave two (and hopefully ware three) there are four global warehouses which are
located in Canada, Australia, EU and the USA. The EU warehouse will be handling
rest of world, with the following exceptions: Asia Rewards are being shipped
directly from Hong Kong, New Zealand rewards are being shipped from Australia
and they are personally handling South America. We got rough dates of when wave
two and Resin Beta Backers stuff will ship to backers (please note customs
might make this longer). Resin Beta Backers rewards will shipped speed directly
from their USA base in New York sometime between the mid to late this month.
The USA Backer stuff should start shipping via USA warehouse sometime between
the start to mid October. International Backers stuff should start shipped via
EU, CAN and AU Warehouses sometime between mid October to the start of November.
There
is not set date for wave three yet.
They
have also shown off images of the expansion stuff especially the Gorm one,
images and videos for Gencon 2015 and work on the Nightmare Ram expansion which
is not a KickStarter expansion for the game.
Now
