Welcome everybody to this week’s “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 HeroClix news. We got previews of: Steppenwolf, Brutaal, Parademon, Brimstone, Artemis and Amazon from DC Superman/Wonder Woman.

Then will be a Sneak Peek event at Wargames Workshop MK this Sunday. Please check the "CFVanguard and WeißSchwarz M.K." Facebook group for more information and how to sign up for it.

Next is the Wyrd Games news. This Monday's preview was of the renders of the Fermenter River Monk minions for Ten Thunders.

Now for the Cool Mini or Not news. The Arcadia Quest Inferno KickStarter is still going externally well. In fact they have beaten what the first KickStarter did and now they are on uncharted teruatry . Since the last post they have managed to unlock: The KickStarter exclusive heroes of Master Pim and the good version of Vexia from Pets; the expansion Chaos Dragon with the KickStarter exclusive hero Nina as an add-on; the KickStarter exclusive pets Bones and Gadget; a second Pet Pack add-on that contains three new pets; the Whole Lotta Lava KickStarter exclusive expansion which includes rules, two Hellcat monsters, Ignos monster and the previously unlock Fallen Agel; the heroes Anvil and Valma as an add-on; the KickStarter exclusive Poison Dragon; the heroes Yona and Kuruk as an add-on; and a Plastic Token Pack with Exploration, Door, Portal and Spawn tokens.

The stretch goals that are still going as I post this are: A Game Tile and tokens to go with the Poison Dragon at $1,075k; and cards and a box to finish off the KickStarter exclusive  Poison Dragon expansion at $870.
This Kickstarter will be ended Tuesday night/Wednesday morning. Let us see which they can unlock between now and then.
On other Cool Mini or Not news, Zombicide Black Plague has started shipping to backers.

Next is the Hawk Wargame news. Their KickStarter for Dropfleet Commander has just finished making £629,222 with 3,918 backers. Since last week they have managed to unlock: UCMF Admiral, UCM Faction, Scourge Faction, PHR Faction, Shaltari Faction and a KickStarter exclusive DFC t-shirts as an add-ons; digital screensaver; Civilian Cruise Liner was added to the Captain level pledge and above; Eden Prime Map Pack as an add-on; Resin Deluxe Cluster pack as an add-on; Dropfleet Commander poster as an add-on; a free Frigate Sprue of each race was added to all level pledges at; a UCM Dog Tag will be added to all level pledges; Resin Scourge Scenery set as an add-on; a KickStarter exclusive 2-Up PHR Cruiser as an add-on; a Hawk pin was added to the Captain level pledge and above; and a set of Activation Card was added to the Captain level pledge and above.

Now for the KickStarter "Warbears and Stagriders, Fantasy Wargames Miniatures" news. The KickStarter has finished now and they have managed to make £7,015 with 209 backer. Sadly they did not unlocked the Sorceress on a tiger.

Next is the Demigods news. The resin figures for Evolution (their second KickStarter) and rules parts for the Demigods game are almost done, which means Demigods Evolution will ship soon. However the plastics for Rising (their first KickStarter) has been delayed and will most likely ship July 2016 or later now. This is due to a bunch (or a lot) of people who only backed Demigods Rising complaining about being treated as "Second class citizens" as they were not getting the new sculpts from Evolution. WTF! The Evolution backers paid at least twice the cost for a hell of a lot less figures so they could have the new sculpts and to get their figures in resin. Anyway they have decided to change the plastic to the new sculpts and sadly this has pushed should take them to July 2016 and now the Demigods Evolution backers will get their stuff before the Demigods Rising ones. This massive delay and the fact that Evolution will ship before Rising has really pissed me off. I am a backer of Rising and I never upgraded to Evolution. I hated that fact that it would cost me a ton more for less, but I had no problems with getting the old stuff. It was my decision not to upgrade. It is nice to get the new sculpts, but I would FAR prefer to get then before or at least when the Evolution stuff ships, not over half a year after the Evolution.

Now for the Mechabrick news. They have started their Upgrade crowd funding, however it is on Indiegogo instead of KickStarters. It contains upgraded kits and painted parts. This has unlocked so far: Funded; and two Printed Nanofigs added too all pledge levels.
The stretch goals that are still going as I post this are: A Shield of Fire will be added to all XL pledge levels at $4k; a Golden Sword will be added to all XL pledge levels at $6k; a Neon Black Printed Shield will be added to all  pledge levels at an revealed amount; and a Neon Black Print Mech will be added to all  XL pledge levels at an revealed amount.

Next is the Ninja Division news. With their Ninja All-Starts KickStarter, all pledges are pack and are now being packed into containers to ship to fulfilment centres.

Now for the Modiphius news. The Pledge Manager for the Infinity RPG is basically ready and they are sending invites to backers. I have not checked my e-mail yet to see if I got it. 

Next is the Mantic news. Wave two of Kings of War is expected to ship on the 14th of December.

Now for the Vesper-On news. I received my box game this week. I brief look how ever it is being saved until Christmas However thee game and figures are much bigger than I expected. Also the gbox game has now hit stores.

Lastly the Shadow of Brimstone news. Due to delay on major bits, wave 1.5 has been push back to January 2016.

Since last week's post until if finished they have managed to unlock: The Elf Warrior hero Swordmistress; the Dwarven Archer hero Sniper; the Human Warrior hero Gadiator; and a second Minion sculpt.

Next is the Cardfight Vanguard news. G Booster Set 3 “Sovereign Star Dragon” is now out in English. They also revealed that there will be an official online version of the game coming soon which is great next however how will it be run is unclear at the moment.

Now for the Mantic news. The pledge manager for Deadzone is now up and they should be posting PDF copy of the second edition rules of Kings of War soon.

Next is the Ninja Division news. News on the Super Dungeon Explore Forgotten King wave two. With US and Australia it should have started shipping.  With Canada the stuff is still on its way to their fulfilment centre. With the UK and EU it is still cleaning customs.

Now for some Robotech RPG Tactics news. We got an image of the Miriya Super Valkyrie convention exclusive figure is week.

Next is the Wyrd Games news. They have revealed the stat cards for the two Henchmen leaders from the Two Player Starter set.

Now for the Guild Ball news. This week we got a look at Strongbox, the new Union Mascot for Season Two.

Next is the Stonehaven Miniatures news. With their Half-Orc Adventures, I got my stuff on Tuesday. Hippy.

Their new KickStarted, Stonehaven Peacekeeper’s Oath, has started. There are four major pledge levels: Just the cards which includes character cards for all their past figures (Dwarven, Gnome, Elf and Half-Orc Adventurers); just the models; the game; and the game plus character cards for all their past figures (Dwarven, Gnome, Elf and Half-Orc Adventurers).

The only image we have of the Attack On Titan board game

Now for the Cryptozoic Entertainment news. These are the people behind the Ghostbusters the board game. They have revealed that they have the licence and started work on an "Attack On Titan" board game. After finally starting to watch this series and knowing the hype, I cannot wait to see this game.

Lastly for some rare Games Workshop news. Warhammer Age of Sigmar is officially out tomorrow. It is a MAJOR Warhammer Fantasy reboot. All new rules, all new race/faction names (Aelf instead of Elves and Duardin instead of Dwarves). The new Stormcast Eternals faction and the Khorne Chaos Warriors are basically look strongly like Space Marines and Khorne Berserkers from Warhammer 40,000 but with swords, axes, hammers and shields instead of back packs and guns. There are NO points system to the game, it runs on number of figures instead (fifty dragons verses fifty goblins anyone). How this will work I do not know, but I should be getting a demo game at Wargames Workshop this coming Monday, so we have to wait and see.

Gaming News from Neoscream: 20th June 2015

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. Sorry about this post being late compared to normal

“Blog News”

There is no “Painting and Converting” this week and maybe next week due to work and XCOM Enemy Within which I have just finished.

“Gaming News”

First off we have the HeroClix news. We got previews of: Exodia the Forbidden One from Yu-Gi-Oh Series Three; and Alexis, Ultron-1, Vision, Tess-One and Machine Man from Marvel Age of Ultron Event.

Next is the Mantic news. With DreadBall Xtreme, the Player Manual is available as a PDF now. They have revealed a major change to what they were planning. All Sponsors can use the All-Stars rules that was meant to be Eclipse's special. She is now going to be a MVP for the Challenge Cup instead of a Sponsor. But there is nothing stopping you from using her or any other MVP, coach or cheerleader as a custom Sponsor as tgere are rules to make your own Sponsor. Sweet! My AJ Lee miniature can be a Sponsor. Oh and wave three should start shipping to backers this coming Monday. 

Now for the Ninja Division news. Here is an update of the Super Dungeon Explore The Forgotten King wave two shipping news. With the US and Canada, their ships have just arrived at dock. With Asia, the fulfilment to backers is continuing, but the bulk of it has arrived. With the UK and the EU, the ships are still on the water and has been delayed. It should arrive at port in England and Germany on the 1st of July. Lastly with Australia, the ship has left however there is no estimated arrival.

With Robotech RPG Tactics, the Important Notice about the Comanchero Helicopter has been removed from the KickStarter backers preorder as it will be done at a later date. Backers can now vote on the scale discussion.

Next is the Zero Agents news. The reason I posted this post late is this KickStarter, as it finished 9PM BST. It made $93,650 with 801 backers.

For rules for Guardians of Tyr tournaments and leagues as well as information on pre booking your place in tournament. Pre booking is highly recommended so they know how many people are coming. So please go to their website which there is a link to it under my links section which are located on the right hand side of this blog.

York House has a £3 on the day gaming fee and a £5 fee for a year’s membership. However the first day is free and they only take yearly membership fee at the start of the year. The Hall officially opens at 7PM, but normally people start arrived 15 to 20 minutes early.

  

Until next time, hope for a better tomorrow.
