| The production version of the Martians from Mars Attacks |
Brute Force is awesome. I’m so tempted to a bunch of
her and an extra set Mechanites Robot for parts to make a whole new team.
On other Mantic news, we got to see the production
versions of the Mars Attacks Martians.
Next is the HeroClix news. This week there was
previews of: Goblin Zombie from Yu-Gi-Oh Series One; Professor X from Marvel
X-Men Days of Future Past; and Deadpool and the “I Never Miss With the Sheep
Gun” Word Balloons from Marvel Deadpool. DC
Superman and the Legion of Super-Heroes is now out to.
There is also a new limited backer level called “War
Paint”. It is basically the same as Guildmaster but the core game, Sonja and
Nameless campaign figures will be painted to table top quality. All for $400
for the first wave or $405 for the second wave or $410 for the third wave, both
the first two are sold out.
The goals it manage to unlock during the second week
were: the Kickstarter exclusive hero Hitch was added to the Guildmaster level;
a pack of 16 plastic Guild Tokens were added to the Guildmaster level; the
Kickstarter exclusive hero Viktor was added to the Guildmaster level; a pack of
24 plastic Death Tokens was be added to the Guildmaster level; the hero Zahra
as an add-on; the Kickstarter exclusive hero Pluck added to the Guildmaster
level; eight extra Monster cards were added to the Arcadia Quest box set; the
expansion set Beyond the Grave as an add-on; the Kickstarter exclusive hero
Elysia as an add-on; and the Kickstarter exclusive hero Morgan was added to the
Guildmaster level.
There is are Doors, Portals, Spawning and Exploring
tokens left to do, if they all do get plastic versions. After them I have a
feeling there might be more titles, more cards and more monsters.
On other Cool or Not Minis news, there is a new
Mission on the Zombicide site called “Who let the dogs out!”
Next is the Warlord Games news. This week on the
Judge Dredd Kickstarter they revealed CAD images of the Assassinator Droid.
Now for the Shadows of Brimstone KickStarter news. This
week they showed off CAD images of the Slashers and the Hungry Dead, more
artwork and some of the Custom Dice.
We also got dates of the March release. Sadly the
first wave came out just before posting this post. They are: the Cryx Thrall
Unit Attachment Skarlock Commander, the Trollblood Solo Trollkin Sorcerer, the
Minion Unit “Gatorman Bokor and Bog Trog Swamp Shamblers” and the Mercenary
Rhulic Unit Hammerfall High Shield Gun Corps. The next wave is out on the 19th
which are: the Warmachine Vengeance book, the Cygnar Unit Trencher Infantry
with Three Weapon Attachments, the High Command Hordes expansion “Elemental
Rage” and issue 53 of No Quarter.
Now for the Crooked Dice Games news. The March

the four Detectives and Lowlifes. They are £3.50 each or £12 for all four. Next

news. This week we got another three greens. This time they were the Kitsune
Swordsman, the Elf Wizard on foot and the Elf Raider.
Now for the Mekton news. The main rule book has a
new deadline of May 1st. Note by the sound of thing that is finished
layout, not printing and posting. So it well be about half a year late. Always
the way with KickStarter RPGs.
Lastly is the Journey: Wrath of Demons news. We got
images and information on some of the tokens from the game this week.
