Neoscream's Painting Table: 18th June 2017

Gorm butt vs tiny Asian midget with attitude.
Who will Win?

Hi everyone and welcome to another blog post. As you will see in the painting section, I have managed to do a ton of painting this week. However, what else have I do other than work, painting, and gaming this week?

I have had some chaos getting hold of the new Cardfight Vanguard set, Fighter's Collection 2017. I had put my name down to have two boxes to be placed aside, but when I got to Wargames Workshop MK on Saturday (10th of June) they had sold out due to too many preorders to what was coming in. They had more coming in soon so I had to wait until they arrived, which I got on Thursday. However, as I had preordered it with the store, they sold it still at the pre-order price of £29.99 each (instead of £32.49 each). They also thrower in some Wild West Exodus figures that they had gotten as freebies. I just have to build the figures and take some photos for Carl the own. Anyway, sadly I did not pull ever the Nova Grappler or the Dimension Police GB8s. But I did get the Oracle Think Tank and the Royal Paladin GB8s.

During the week I have also been tried to get some prep for the Future Card Buddyfight Nationals on Sunday (18th of June) by watching the anime while painting. I am hoping it will work.

Also during the week, I have been having problems with my phone's battery. It is draining quicker and charging a LOT slower. Oh and getting hot very quickly. As I am writing this I just remembered I had this problem this time last year. It has to be the weather we have been getting lately.

Painting

This week I have managed to finish painting all three of my MEC troopers for the XCOM board game, the Lonely Tree and two of its fruit from Kingdom Death Monster and five Tau Pathfinders. Oh, and yes I did convert one of the MEC troopers into a female as when I played XCOM Enemy Within on the PC I normally always made my first MEC from a Female soldier.

As you can see above, I have finished building and under my Tau Pathfinders. However, due to the extra bodies, heads, and weapons with arms that I have, I have decided to pick up some extra legs (and Drone tops) from eBay so I can build some more. To expand the Pathfinders from ten with three drones to fifteen (maybe sixteen) with five drones. I am not including photos of the built Pathfinders as half of them are in the painted photos.

I have also built up four of the seven Wild West Exodus figures I got (not including ones from Salute). As I want to show Carl (owner of Wargames Workshop) the built figures first, I will not be posting photos of them this week.

The five figures I am currently painting at the moment are all Tau Pathfinders from Warhammer 40,000. I have sixteen of them and five drones to paint. Again, as I have painted Pathfinders in the painted photos, I will not be including a photo of the Pathfinders I am currently painting.

This week's catch up bundle is some Robotech RPG Tactics stuff. Yes, I painted the Valkyrie in the same colours as Skywarp from Transformers.

KDM WWMK

On Monday I went down to Wargames Workshop MK like normal, but this time I was playing Kingdom Death Monster with my group from the store. Sadly there was no Wai-Yin as she was doing hair. The oldest excuse in the book for women. Lol.

Due to the events of last time, Adrian (and Wai-Yin if she turned up) was using a new survivor as his last one was retired (again). We decided to hunt down another level one Gorm as we need to hide and we were worried that we would struggle to wound a level two. During the hunt, we got a Gorm event the scrawled the party a bit. Both Bob's and Michael's survivors had the Insanity set back to zero and both mine and Adrian's survivors have to skip the next hunt and do not add endeavours this game (we do need to double check on FAQs about this). Both mine and Michael's survivors hit max courage (first time in any of my games this happens). Sadly that meant we both became blinded (luckily we have Eye Patches). During the hunt, Bob gained a disorder that makes him skip every other. What did this, I sadly cannot remember. We managed to defeat it with my survivor dealing a whopping seven (out of eleven) damage to it. I did not call him Marth (Fire Emblem) for nothing.

Sadly because of Gorm Climate, we lost the two scrap and two bone we had in storage. But we managed to regain the two endeavours we lost from a funny weird dream. A Gorm butt vs a tiny Asian midget with attitude known as Wai-Yin (A BIG butt fighting a tiny monster). With the four endeavours we innervated (gaining Saga), made leather and bread twice. Oh and we also build the leather gloves and Leather pants (OK wrong names). This just leaves the Leather Boots for a full set of leather.

We are planning on playing KDM next Monday. All of us (including Wai-Yin who should be there), apart from Michael will need to use new survivors.


HeroClix

On Thursday I went down to York House for some game of HeroClix. This week's build is 300 points, no figure over 85 points. I decided to use a Marvel Knight's themed team. However, as I used the Fast Forces Luke Cage and Iron Fist two weeks in a row, I decided to not use them sadly. My team ended up being:

Black Panther (029 Marvel Avengers vs Defenders) 50
Karen Page (027 Marvel Avengers vs Defenders) 20
Punisher (005 Marvel Marvel Knights) 75
Daredevil (001 Marvel Marvel Knights) 75
Jessica Jones (004 Marvel Marvel Knights) 75
=295 points

On the first round, I was up against Darren S who was using an Avengers themed team. Like normal Darren destroyed my team. Also, Michael won his game against his brother Adrian.

On the second round, I was up against Adrian who was also using a Marvel Knight's themed team. Punisher managed to deal Adrian's team a ton of damage on the second turn as they all move in one big group, with Dagger advancing ahead. Because of that, his team crumbled to pieces. He then gave up after losing half his force. This mentioned I won the game. Also, Darren won his game against Michael.

On the third and final round, I was up against Michael who was using an Avengers themed team. It was a closer game than the one against Adrian, but I did manage to win. Also, Darren won his game against Adrian.

Overall Darren won, with me at second, Michael at third and Adrian at dead last.


KDM Simon's

On Friday evening, myself, Richard and Darren H went down to Simon's for a game of Kingdom Death Monster now that Richard is free from elections and Simon is free from holidays.

This time we had a Nemesis event to deal with and then finish of the Settlement phase leftover from last time (due to the Nemesis event). We had the choice of a level two Butcher, a level two King's Hand or a level three Kingsman. We decided to go with the Butcher. We decided to roll out Darren's original character, Ron Jeremy. He was a one-armed settlement founder with several gaping chest wounds and destroyed genitals.

It was a much easier than thought. We defeated him in three turns (maybe four), with no injuries. In fact, we managed to regain Ron's lost arm, who lost it against the level one Butcher and regained the Butcher's Cleaver, which one of his sons lost. We also realised that Ron can go on more hunts than we first thought, as he was not as experienced as we were thinking.

During the Settlement phase, we innovated which gave us Clan of Death. Because of this, we bred twice and we managed to gain a Savior. Sweet. However one of our retired settlers eat the lonely fruit from the Loney Tree. So our next hunt will be the Lonely Tree. At least the tree is painted now.


Future Games

• On Sunday the 18th of June (today), I will be going to the Future Card Buddyfight Nationals.
• On Monday the 19th of June, I will be playing Kingdom Death Monster at Wargames Workshop MK.
• On Thursday the 22nd of June, I should be going to York House for HeroClix.
• On Saturday the 24th of June, I should be going to Wargames Workshop MK for a Cardfight Vanguard Tournament.
• On Monday the 26th of June, I should be gaming at Wargames Workshop MK.

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

Neoscream's Painting Table: 9th June 2017

Hi everyone and to welcome to another one of my blog posts. Not much happened outside gaming and work (audit chaos) this week. Sorry.

Painting

With my painting this week, I have managed to finish painting the Gorm and the Lonely Lady for Kingdom Death Monster and the Steelsoul Kag Protector for Convergence from Warmachine this week. I have also built one of my Cybermen for Doctor Who Exterminate. There are no pictures of the Cyberman as I put it away in the game after building it.

And here are the five figures I am currently working on. These are currently the Lonely Tree from Kingdom Death Monster, three MEC from XCOM and a Tau Drone from Warhammer 40,000. However, this lineup will change when I finally build my Tau Pathfinders (the Tau female conversion parts I ordered have finally just arrived today).

I have also finally got the first of my backlog waves done. In these photos, I have a figure I briefly used as a Templar in Frostgrave and then I have four Zombies, two Armoured Zombies, two Dwarf Revenants and two Ghosts.

Gaming

Frostgrave

On Monday I went down to Wargames Workshop MK for the next game of the second Frostgrave campaign at the store. Since the last game (last month), I have hired a Ranger and a Treasure Hunter (which you saw the painted figures of them last week) and fired a Thief and Warhound to free up room for them. We were playing "The Silver Tower" scenario from the core rulebook. Bob was the one who managed to climb up the tower to gain the special treasure. I managed to gain to gain two treasures and my Wizard went up two levels, but she was Badly Wounded which cost me all the gold I earned. Oh, and my Captain went up a level too.

It looks like we will be skipping next month as most of the other players are busy with holidays.


Casual Card Gaming

On Wednesday I went down to the Toby Carvery for some casual carding. I got in three games of Cardfight Vanguard and two games of Future Card Buddyfight.


HeroClix

On Thursday, I went down to York House (top stairs instead of downstairs due to the Elections) for some games of HeroClix. We were playing a special Election day scenario that I helped make. 500 points, three actions, no figure above 250 points, no ATAs. You may elect one of your figures with the Politician keyword. At the start of each game roll 1D6 and this character rolled position for the game:

1. Chief Whip - Can use Perplex. If they already have Perplex, they can use it twice.
2. Defense Ministry - Can choose between Energy Shield Deflection or Close Combat Reflexes once per game.
3. Home Secretary - Once per turn, if closer to its own starting area, it gains +1 Defense, Attack or Movement until the start of their next turn.
4. Foreign Secretary - Once per turn, if closer to the opponent's starting zone, it gains +1 Defense, Attack or Movement until the start of their next turn.
5. Health Secretary - Can use Regeneration and Support.
6. Prime Minister - Can use leadership. If they already have leadership, roll two dice and chooses the highest.

I ended up using an Avengers team lead by Nick Fury who was:

Nick Fury (035 Marvel Avengers Movies) 70
Justice (015 Marvel Avengers Assemble) 64
Scarlet Witch (006 Marvel Chaos War Fast Forces) 75
Yellowjacket (010 Marvel Civil War event) 60
Black Panther (007 Marvel Avengers vs Defenders) 30
Iron Man (010 Marvel Avengers vs Defenders) 55
Luke Cage (002 Marvel Marvel Knights) 75
Iron Fist (003 Marvel Marvel Knights) 75
=504 points.

On the first round, I was up against Michael who was using a Dark Avengers themed team. At first in looked like Michael was winning. However, thing changed and I managed to pull out a win. Also, Darren S who their game against Adrian.

On the second round, I was up against Darren S who was using a Maggia themed team. Due to Darren's bad dice rolls, it felt closed. However, Darren (like normal) managed to win the game. Sorry I can not remember who won between the brothers, Adrain and Michael.

On the third and final round, I was up against Adrian who was meant to be using a Hand themed team. However, he forgot a 75 point figure (his Politician), so he had top borrow a figure that was not Hand. Anyway, it was a close game. However, Adrian's jammy luck with his Super Senses rolls saved him big time and helped him to the win the game. Also, Darren S who their game against Michael.

Future Games

• Saturday the 10th of June, was meant to be a Cardfight Vanguard Tournament at Wargames Workshop MK. However, because of Cardfight Vanguard Nationals, it was canceled as a Tournament. But there will be a table or two for casual games.
• On Monday the 12th of June, I will be playing Kingdom Death Monster at Wargames Workshop MK.
• On Thursday the 15th of June, I should be going to York House for HeroClix.
• On Sunday the 18th of June, I should be going to the Future Card Buddyfight Nationals.
• On Monday the 19th of June, I should be gaming at Wargames Workshop MK. What I will be playing I do not know yet. Maybe Kingdom Death Monster.

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

Neoscream's Life: 9th to 15th May 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 pictures is the Gorm.

"Life"

On Monday evening I went down to Wargames Workshop MK for a game of Kingdom Death Monster with Robert, Bob, Michael and Adrian. But before we started, myself and Robert had a game of Cardfight Vanguard. I had terrible luck during the game with drawing triggers, apart from the two heal triggers that keep me in the game that little longer.

After that we had the Kingdom Death Monster game. As there was five of us, I played as the Monster controller. They decided to hunt down another level one White Lion so they can make a set of White Lion Armour. Apart from a little problem with the Enraged mood card, they managed to defeat it in three rounds. Sadly they did not get any resources they need to build any piece of it.

On Tuesday I went to the Art Gallery for a special showing of the low budget British film that is Produced, Directed by and staring Nathan Wiseman. A friend of mine. It was not the type of film I like, however it was a good film.

On Wednesday I went down to Brighton for a over night visit to see the fabulous Foxes in concert at the Concorde 2. I left Milton Keynes at about 10:15AM, however I did bumped into Janos, a co-worker, who was on his way to London with his girlfriend. I did have a little problem with the trains on the way to Brighton as the train at the stop at Clapham Junction was not the train advertised at the platform. Luckily I managed to change trains at the next station and arrived at Brighton only half an hour later than planned. When I arrived at Brighton I catch a bus to the hotel to drop off my overnight bag. After that I catch another bus to a card game shop, Daydream Nation. I did get a little lost trying to find it, as I did not know that the store was a back room of a hat shop. Sadly I could only find one of the single Cardfight Vanguard cards that I was after, however I managed to get the Machina Force of Will deck that I was after to get started in the game. (Note I have added a label for the game in the Labels section. I will also try to start to cover it on my Gaming News blog post. I Just forgot to do it it last week's post as I had been too busy with writing this post.)

I then walked to Brighton Pier to have a walk around. At the pier I pick up some doughnuts. I took a bit out of one while walking down the pier and then I looked around. Out of nowhere, a Seagull swooped down and stool the doughnut from out of my hand. The damn seagull is worse than my mum's Siamese cat. LOL. I just laughed it off, took some photos and then headed for some shelter to finish eating some more doughnuts away from the thieves. I also shockingly won a bracelet at the arcade. Sadly there is no one I can give it too. I wish I could have given it to Foxes, but sadly there was no way (or at least no way I could think of). Oh and before anyone (like the Baka Immad) says, NO I WILL NOT give it to the Bitching Brat. I did not go on any of the rides at the end of the pier as I was too much of a coward to do them on my own.

Anyway I then headed to a pizza place that was near Concorde 2 for dinner. I decided a while ago to go to that place as it was pizza and it was close to Concorde 2 (on the map). Sadly when I got there I found out that it was takeaway only. Facepalm. Planning ahead near seems to work for me. I checked Google maps for nearby restaurants and sadly the nearest was at least twenty minutes walk away. Sadly I thought I did not have the time to walk to one of them, order/wait/eat the food and walk to the Concorde 2. Luckily I bumped into a random Asian Kabab/Pizza place that was not listed on Google maps that had a couple of tables to sit at. So I ordered and eat a pizza there. After dinner I headed to the Concorde 2, however it took longer to get there than expected due to the layout which I did not realised. I virtually had to head back to the pier to be able to get on the right level to get to the Concorde 2. Luckily I was planning to get there half an hour early so I was not late (plus I thought doors opened at 7PM once they opened at 7:30PM) and I was only a little late than what I was planning. Sadly this meant I could have gone to one of the restaurants Google had listed. C'est la vie.

Rivrs

Only Rivrs was supporting her at this concert, however that was not a bad thing as Rivrs was fantastic at the Roundhouse and they were fantastic at Concorde 2 as well. It felt like they were given more time to perform too. I finally now managed to get some tracks on my phone (brought at a later date from the Google Play Store).

Foxes at the Concorde 2 in Brighton

After Rivrs performance and a wait, the amazing Foxes finally started, the reason for the trip. Like with the Roundhouse she was just, WOW. In fact the only little problem (and I mean tiny) I had with the Roundhouse performance was not a problem this time, apart from breaking my jaw as it hit the floor. LOL. Wow. She is more amazing then I thought. Wow. I did have a problem with my phone over heating. To my knowledge it has never gotten that hot on me in the past, in fact it got so hot the video side of the camera would not work until it cooled down a bit. However I did take it out of its case so it might have been more noticeable.

Foxes at the Roundhouse London.
For comparison. 

After the amazing concert by the fabulous Foxes I picked up a set of Foxes badges and head back to the hotel, in the rain. Lol. I walked a bus stop that was past the pier and then got a bus the rest of the way.

The morning after I stupidly went to the wrong breakfast place at the hotel and ended up missing a cooked breakfast. It was my mistake. I left the hotel at about 10AM with both of my bags as checkout was at 10AM. I decided to headed to the Sealife centre as I did not have a plan for the second day. However once there I decided to not go in as I found out if I had book a ticket earlier I would have gotten it about half price, their was severely school trips for it just arriving and that no all of it was open due to problems (most likely repair work).

Hotel room

I decided to head the beach and then to Brighton Pier again. I just manly took more photos, many of the beach and the sea. After that I went to a restaurant called Harry Ramsdens for a Fish and Chips lunch. I then went back to Daydream Nation to look for some cards people have asked for (Robert, Shell and Liam). Sadly they did not have any of the cardsthey were looking for. Oddly I swear there was a folder of Force of Will single at the store the day before, but according to the person running the store the second time I went there, they do not do Force of Will singles. I decided to pick up some Cardfight Vanguard and Force of Will booster packs. I popped to a Starbucks for a coffee and to see if I can change my phone's battery as it was running out quickly oddly. Maybe the over heating from the Foxes concert has damaged the phono or battery something. Sadly there was not any free plug sockets to use, so I had to use my power pack. After the coffee I had a walk around and then headed to a Poundland to get some drinks for the journey home. With that done I headed to the train station, however I miss judge the time it would take and arrived about three quarters of an hour early. I ended up having another coffee, this time at a coffee place at Brighton Station which had plug sockets so I could plug my phone into change. While waiting and drinking I started writing this post while the memories were still fresh in my head.

The journey home was a nightmare. It was a journey that I was meant to change trains twice. Once at Three Bridges and again at Clapham Junction. The first train was late to Three Bridges, in fact is was so late that I would have missed the second train if that one was not late as well. Luckily the second train JUST got me there on time for the third one. However all that chaos was nothing compared to the third train. On the way the train had to stop for three quarters of an hour due to another train on the line had broken down. Due to this massive delay, the train ended up getting terminated early at Tring. This meant I had to get the next train from Tring to Milton Keynes. I ended up getting back to Milton Keynes at about 7:15PM while I should have been back at 6PM. I am so glad I cancelled HeroClix. Apart from the journey home, it was an enjoyable trip. Just wish I was not doing it on my own.

Friday was my Birthday, but due to go to Brighton during the week and Jack's stag do on the weekend, I did not do much. I did a little research and I have found a way to give a certain someone the bracelet.

On Saturday Darren H pick up both myself and Simon and we went to Twinwoods Adventure in Bedford where we meet up with Richard, Jake, Nathan and four others to start off Jack's stag do. We had two activities booked, body flight and shooting. Myself and two others were not doing the first activity which was body flight due to issues with hight. So the three of us try to do some racing while the others were doing safety training, however sadly one of the three driving simulators was broken during the previous group, so we could not do it. After the body flight was over and a shot break we all went to do the Shooting. I was shocked on how well I did with the shooting with a rifle with a scoop.

After the shooting we all went to the Weatherspoons hotel that we were staying in and got refreshed. While there I beep into Aurelija, a former manager of mine who lives in Bedford. We had grabbed a drink at Weatherspoons before heading to an all you can eat Chinese restaurant. After we all got a little over stuffed, we stupidly went back to Weatherspoons for some more drinks instead of the Rock club we were planning on going to. Sadly when we decided to go to the club things were winding down to close. Oddly on the way there, it seemed like there was no real night life. We decided to go to a club that a female bouncer from Weatherspoons told us about. The night life in Bedford still seemed dead, but when we got there we found that this must be were all of Bedford's night life was at. Sadly the club was not really any good, but we stayed until close as we did not want to waste the £10 each we spent to get in. The Bedford night life was a bit of a yet down to everybody, however it was still an enjoyable day and night out with friends for everybody.

The next morning all but one of us had breakfast at Weatherspoons, and then we all went off back home.

"HeroClix"

Due to my trip to Brighton there was not HeroClix last week. This Thursday's scenario is David(s) and Goliath. Build two 300 points team.

With Team 1, "Goliath", you must only have one single figure and it must be from your own collection. No other figure allowed in this team.

With Team 2 "David(s)", the maximum cost of individual figures is 100 points and you can borrow figures from other players.

As these games should be quite quick we will make this a six round event. It each round you play as David or Goliath while the other player will play as the other.

"Painting and Converting"

For this post I have for you all five UFOs from the XCOM board game.

During the week I managed to finish painting two more Arcadia Quest figures, three Zombicide figures and two figures for Frostgrave. I also undercoated two figures for Frostgrave, three Kingdom Death Monster figures, a Guild Ball figure and a Doctor Who figure.

In the next "Gaming News from Neoscream" post I should have for you all ten more UFOs from the XCOM board game.

Below is an image of my painting table at the end of last Sunday night or the start of Monday morning.
