Neoscream's Painting Table: 18th of August 2017

Hi everyone and welcome to another blog post. This week I have been mostly drained of energy. On top of feeling tired, I have also been suffering from over the week so far, headaches, sore throat, inflamed glands, constipation, arm pains and a bad allergic reaction. And I am still working a normal shift.

OK, it is time to show off my third display cupboards, so let us start with the bottom shelf.


This shelf holds a ton of my Transformer Comic book small figurines.


The middle shelf holds a ton of my anime and Pokémon figurines.


On the top shelf has a bunch of larger figures and some Lego (fake Lego) figures too.

Next week I will be the fourth cupboard.



Painting

This week I have managed to finish off a tower for my castle terrain, two Tengu Harrier and a Tengu Mage and Surprised hero version from Arcadia Quest.


I am currently painting a Tengu Samurai and a Hedgehog from Stonehaven, Serious hero version from Arcadia Quest.




Gaming

Mansions of Dragoborne

On Monday I went down to Wargames Workshop MK for a game of Mansions of Madness with Bob and Wai-Yin. We retired the second scenario again as the last time myself and Bob did this we failed. Sadly we failed again, but we did get a lot closer. We did manage to get everything we needed, we just ran out of time. Next time we should be more experience to do it, we just have to remember to split up.

Afterwards, myself and Wai-Yin had our first game of Bushiroad's new TCG, Dragoborne. Think of it as Magic the Gathering meets Duel Masters, but with dice as well. After Luck and Logic, I was a bit reluctant of trying another brand new game. However, with the buzz going on I decided to try it out. Wai-Yin was using the Dragon deck which she was borrowing from Anthony, while I was using the Werewolf deck I just bought. Wai-Yin managed to win without any experience with the game. She then ended up buying two copies of the Vampire deck. Stereotypical for that Chibi Vampire to buy a Vampire deck. LOL. I am planning on building a blue deck as Blue is heavy technology, ninjas and Samurai themed. However, I also want to do Green/Yellow(or is it classed a white), for the Elves. Oh and afterward I found that we were playing Dragon Shields wrong. This was due to the game I watched two Saturdays ago, Liam was playing them wrong. The basic problem was that we did not know the Dragon Shields could only go to Forts of the same colour and what gives a Fort its colour is the banner behind it. Looking at the rules, it was an easy mistake to make. I only realised when I was watching an official How to Play videos on YouTube.


Card Games

On Tuesday I went down to Toby Carvery for some card gaming with Shell, Liam, Gareth, the House Brothers, John, Blake (briefly) and Brandon. I first got a game of Cardfight Vanguard against John (if memory serves me right). I using my Chouchou Bermuda Triangle deck. I was destroyed before ever of use hit GB1. This was mainly due to only getting a single trigger all game, and that was a heal trigger from a draw. After that, I got two games of Dragoborne against Liam, after letting him know about the Fort/Dragon Shield problem. He won the first game, but I managed to win the second. After that, I managed to get some trades in to improve my Stride deck for my Chouchou Bermuda Triangle deck and then tested the improvements against Brandon. I managed to win this one with my first ever stride with "Chouchou Headliner, Lapria". Over all, it was a very enjoyable night.


HeroClix

Sadly on Thursday, there was not Heroclix as I was not feeling well. This means that the build has been moved to next week. The build was 900 points, five Actions, no figure above 250 points, no ATA's and no bases larger than peanut sized.


Future Games
  • On Saturday the 19th of August, there will be a Future Card Buddyfight and Dragoborne Tournament happening at Wargames Workshop MK.
  • On Monday the 21st of August I will be going to Wargames Workshop MK for a game of Kingdom Death Monster.
  • On Thursday the 24th of August, I should be going to York House for some games of HeroClix.
  • On Saturday the 26th of August, there will be a Cardfight Vanguard Tournament happening at Wargames Workshop MK.
  • On Monday the 28th of August, I should be going to Wargames Workshop MK for a game. I just remembered that it is a Bank Holiday so I will not be going as gaming will be happening in the daytime and not the evening/night.

Well, that is it for this post. Until all are one with the Lantern-Spark.

Neoscream's Painting Table: 13th of August 2017

Hi everyone and welcome to another blog post. The last two day (Friday and Saturday) I have been helping my friend Simon move. He is returning back to the Milton Keynes area from a village in the middle of nowhere. This will mean we (myself and our mates) will be seeing him more.

OK, last week I showed off the first of my display cupboards. So let us move on the second, starting with the bottom shelf.


This shelf holds my three MechWarrior figures (one hidden behind the next thing), a figure of the Yu-Gi-Oh figure Launcher Spider, Planet Express Ship from Futurama, USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D from Star Trek, an Enforcer Accuser Interceptor from Mantic's Warpath and silver PVC Conehead Decepticon Seeker.


The middle shelf (two pictures due to sheer numbers) has a ton of my 7TV and Doctor Who stuff. However, the Doctor Who figures have been moved out and boxed for Doctor Who Exterminate. The 7TV stuff are based on the Black Knights from Code Geass, Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, James Bond, Section 9 from Ghost in the Shell, the Silicon Lords and Hive Master from my old stories and Cyborg characters from a team based on WWE Wrestlers.

Due to the huge gap left by the Doctor Who miniatures, I am thinking of move the remaining stuff to the top two shelves of the first cupboard and placing one of my Warmachine force in instead. If I do this I will post updates after doing all the areas I plan on covering.


On the top shelf has a large Tomahawk toy from Robotech (Macross) and my a chunk of my Decepticon Seeks.

Next week I will be the third cupboard.



Painting

This week I have managed to finish off Astrid from Reaper Miniatures Bones, the 2015 Salute figure, Sephera (cannot remember where she is from and I cannot find her on an internet search), Peter Pan from Tale Of War Miniatures, the Gate for my castle terrain, Smiley from Arcadia Quest, a figure based on the 10th Doctor from Heresy Miniatures (sadly the do not sell his any more so I cannot get a name), Hedgehog Girl from Sphere Wars, a tower from my Castle terrain, (oops, will be on next weeks), Surprised Faceless from Arcadia Quest and four Monster Fruits.


I am currently painting two Tengu Harrier and a Tengu Mage from Stonehaven and Surprised Faceless and Serious from Arcadia Quest.





Gaming

Doctor Who Exterminate!

On Monday I went down to Wargames Workshop MK for a game of Doctor Who Exterminate with Bob. This was our first time playing the game. Sadly there were not much how to play or game play videos on YouTube. As it was the first game we did not use the Adventure Card and we use the example forces the were in the beginning of the second book. I played as Dalek while Bob was the Cybermen.

I managed to Exterminate a chunk of his team. However, Bob was extremely lucky with his V Tokens and he won with twelve victory points to my seven. Overall it was an enjoyable game, however, there were a couple of problems.
  • It is not that clear if Armour has a factor in Close Combat. We did play it that it does not.
  • A large chunk of Warlord's Doctor Who ranges currently do not have rules as the figures do not come with them (apart from the two expansion packs) and the Starter set only covered what was in it, both Doctors sets and three Alien packs. They have stated that there will be PDFs rules for them in the future.
  • The force cards do not have any lists of Weapons that are/can be equipped with or clear statements of that Faction(s) they work for or list of what is in the faction in the books (eg. army listing). Also, there are some inconsistencies in the cards. The three man Dalek Patrol in the Dalek expansion has a Fate Token while the three Dalek Patrol in the core game does not.


HeroClix

On Thursday I went down to York House for some games of HeroClix. This week's build was 900 points, five Actions, no figure above 250 points, no ATA's and no bases larger than peanut sized.

I decided to make an Avengers themed team, more because I made a mistake and only realised the night before as I was about to go to bed (thinking it was 500 points). The team ended up being:

Iron Man (002 Marvel What If) 100
Thor (005 Marvel What If) 110
Iron Rick (010 Marvel What If) 55
Iron Punisher (023 Marvel What If) 100
Black Panther (007 Marvel Avengers/Defender War) 30
Captain America (011 Marvel Avengers/Defenders War) 50
Warmachine (004 Marvel Captain America Civil War) 105
Hawkeye (002 Marvel Avengers Assemble) 85
Echo (010 Marvel Avengers Assemble 96
Firebird (011 Marvel Avengers Assemble) 105
Justice (014 Marvel Avengers Assemble) 64
=900 points

For some unknown reason, Michael did not turn up. Adrian even could not get a hold of him. As the rest of us turned up, we decided to play anyway. It just means one of us had to take the bye each round.

On the first round, I was up against Adrian who was using an X-Men themed team. This was a nightmare game where his defense from range was twenty (my team was range based), his attacks were twelve at a minimum and a ton of hypersonic. and Power Cosmic. All this was due to Cannonball and Emma Frost. I was creamed, losing the game. I was not expecting to do good, but those very high values compared to my average values made the game very unfun.

On the second round, I got the bye. So it was Darren S verse Adrian. Adrian won this game, but it was a lot more of a close fight.

On the third and final round, I was up against Darren who was using a Crime Syndicate themed team. I lost this game (like normal against Darren), but it was a much more fun game than the one against Adrain.

As there was no Michael, we will be using the same build next time. However, I will be using a different team and Adrain will hopefully try a different team than the cheesy one he was using.


Future Games
  • On Monday the 14th of August I will be going to Wargames Workshop MK for a game of Mansions of Madness.
  • On Thursday the 17th of August, I should be going to York House for some games of HeroClix.
  • On Saturday the 19th of August, there will be a Future Card Buddyfight Tournament happening at Wargames Workshop MK.
  • On Monday the 21st of August, I should be going to Wargames Workshop MK for a game of Kingdom Death Monster.

Well, that is it for this post. Until all are one with the Lantern-Spark.

Neoscream's Life: 6th to 19th June 2016

Welcome everybody to another the "Neoscream's Life" post. This is my weekly post of life, what games I have been playing, what I have been painting and what I have watching and reading. This week's Kingdom Death opening (Well second due to the look) pictures is the Wet Nurse.



"Blog News"


Sorry for the lack of posts last week. I had busy with training for the Cardfight Vanguard team Nationals, playing Transformer Earth Wars and suffering from a cold.



"Life"

On Monday the 6th of June I went to Wargames Workshop MK for the fifth part of the Frostgrave campaign. My Wizard only gained two levels again. With the first level I upped her Hit Points and with the second she learned the spell Wall. My Captain also finally gained his first level. I decided to up his Hit Points. Sadly I lost my Warhound and a Thug. Which I need to replace.

On Friday the 10th of June I went down to Simon's with Richard and Darren H for some Kingdom Death Monster. We were up against the Kingsman again. This time it was a level two. It was a nightmare. An orange humanoid fish kept on appearing in front of the Survivors cry out something. Away we lost two survivors during this Showdown phases and a third (one one with the Twilight Sword) was cursed by the King's Curse. Due to the length of the battle took, we did not have time for the settlement phase.

On Tuesday the 14th and Wednesday the 15th of June I had some Vanguard practice with Liam, Shell and Crawford, as well as Matt on Wednesday and Jordan and Jonathan on Thursday. We worked on a new secret deck. There was talks of Training on Monday 13th of June as well at Wargames Workshop MK, but it never happened.

Sadly there was no HeroClix on both Thursdays due to people being busy.

During both week’s I was suffering from a cold. It was not anything major, it was nothing to wright or talk about normally. However the first couple of days of the first week I was a little out of it and then last Friday just before Springfest I was really knocked out by the cold in pain all around my head. Luckily it had cleared by Springfest.



"Cardfight Vanguard Tournament"


On Saturday the 11th of June, I went down to Wargames Workshop MK for a Sneak Peek for G-BT07 "Glorious Bravery of Radiant Sword". Sadly Due to numbers that did not happen. Luckily There was a normal tournament to jump into. I decided to us my Nova Grappler deck. Sadly I cannot remember the results (due to how long I left it to wright this), but I did not do well. If I remembered correctly, it was more to do with time. Beeping Dyspraxia.



"Springfest Bushiroad 2016"

On Saturday the 11th of June, I went down to Huddersfield with Liam, Crawford and Jordan for Team Nationals. Sadly at the last moment Matt and Shell pulled out due to sickness. Luckily for Liam (they were his team mates), he managed to find a team online that were missing a member for other problems.

Talking about teams, I have been forgetting to talk about my team change. I was originally meant to be with Jackie and another Robert. However, due to major transport problems due to costs (over £105 per person, leaving about midnight with long waits in between stations and arrive too early) and a opening in Jordan's and David's team which includes a cheaper/better transport to the event, I ended changing teams.

Anyway, we meet up with David, Jonathan, Sam and Liam's new team mates at Huddersfield and then registered. I was using the new deck that I built during the week with the help of the others. It was a all new Cosmic Heroes deck. Jordan was using a Tachikaze deck and David was using a Kagerō deck. I managed to win my game the second round and both David and Jordan won their games on the round four. Due to the press getting to David we dropped out after the fifth round. Liam's team also dropped out then after turn five too. So we got in some trades in. I managed to finally got my fourth Cool Hank and Bustered for my Nova Grapple deck. Sadly David left. Liam managed to get a ton of cards for Shell. Jonathan's, Sam's and Crawford's team dropped out after round six. We decided to go and get lunch (which turned into more of a dinner) and then returned for more trading. We did take longer trading as Crawford (and Jordan) kept on going off for "Just one more Trade". We got back home about 9:30.

It was a great day out with the guys. Wish I could have gotten more games in or more trades or a game of Luck and Logic. But is was still a great day and I do plan on going to Solos in August.



"Painting and Converting"

During the two weeks I sadly only managed to finish painting one figure. A Doctor Who one. Because of this I have decided to not do any "Painting and Converting" sections this week.

    Now for the Cool Mini or Not news. This week they started a new KickStarter for a new board game called “The Others: 7 Sins”. It is a horror board game for two to five players. One player controls one of the 7 Deadly Sins, employing monstrous incarnations of these corruptive forces in an attempt to consume the world and bring about the apocalypse. The rest of the players cooperate as heroes of the F.A.I.T.H. organization who will attempt to fight back the invasion! There is just one Pledge Level at the moment (not including the early bird version) which is FAITH.

    A part from the $1 to follow it I am not backing this KickStarter. I am not saying it is bad, just that is does not interest me and I have enough board games already.

    Lastly there is the Modiphius news. There have meant to of started the Kickstarter for the Infinity RPG earlier this week, however they have not for some unknown reason.

    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 (unless you are a child or unemployed where it is £1) 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.
