Gaming with Neoscream: 20th April 2014

Welcome to “Gaming with Neoscream”. This is my weekly gaming report and event write up post for miniature games, RPGs, card games and computer games.

This Week's Events

On Monday I went to Wargames Workshop MK for some more games of Deadzone, this time at the standard 70 point. David and his son Tim got the first game. Tim was using Rebels while his father used Marauders. Tim, who normally beats his father at games (or at least the first time of trying a game) lost the game.

The next and last game was between me and Tim. Rebels verses Rebels. I manage to win the game quite well, however my Teraton dead in just one hit. In the future I will try to use other things than that points eater.

On Thursday I went down to York House to play some games of HeroClix. This week we were playing the scenario "Messiah" (please check the HeroClix Scenarios page for more information). My team this week was an X-Men themed team. All the teams used this week are in the Armies section of this post.

In the first round I was up against Michael who was using a Brotherhood of Mutants themed team. Shadow King tied up my team and I ended up losing Lost. Also Darren S won his game against Adrian.

In the second round I was up against Adrian who was also using an X-Men themed team. At first I was winning the game but after I took out his Polaris and Havok, Adrian manage to change to tide of the battle. So I lost. Also Darren S won his game against Michael.

In the third and final round I was up against Darren S who was using a Mojoverse themed team. Like normal I lost against him. Sadly I cannot remember who who out the the brothers.

Darren S won overall this week with three wins like normal and I was dead last.
