Welcome to “Gaming News from Neoscream”. This is my
weekly gaming news post for miniature games, RPGs, some card games and computer
games.
“Gaming News”

Sur, the Black Lantern version of Aquaman, Lyssa Drak, the Black Lantern
version of Firestorm, the Black Lantern version of Galius Zed and the Black

Goodies unlocked since last week were: Each army

Steel Guard Anti-Tank Squad for SSU as add-ons; the KickStarter Exclusive
Template as an add-on; and a set of KickStarter Exclusive Tokens has been added
to each army deal or orders of $150 and above. Originally backers were meant to
be able to choose which KickStarter Exclusive they wanted with the Army Deals,
but due to price difference between the two items this was changed.
Stretch Goals still left when I posted this post
were: One free walker body added to every army deal at
The KickStarter will be ending on Thursday so let us
see what can be unlocked between now and then.
Now for a KickStarter I backed called Last Saga. Goodies unlocked since the last post: The Black Crow
unit for the Council; a new un-named Vespidae; the Sovereign Empire Starter
Pack; the Free Agent and the Minion units for the Raiders of Saanar; the Grot
unit for the Raiders of Saanar; the Stalker unit for the Uruhvel; and three crates have been added to every pledge level from Start and above.
Stretch Goals still left when I posted this post
were: The Guardian of Tanaor Starter Pack at £15k.
The KickStarter will be ending on Sunday so let us
see what can be locked between now and then.
Next is the Knight Miniatures news. There were five
new figures released this week. There was Adam West Batman, Jim Lee Super Man,
Damian Wayne as Robin for DC, and for Maravel there was Thing and Cyclops.
Now for the Privateer Press news. On Wednesday the
first wave of the June releases. These were: The Cryx
Warcaster and Character Solo “Goreshade the Bastard and Deathwalker”; the
Trollblood Unit Pyg Bushwhackers; the Trollblood Trollkin Character Solo Horgle
Ironstrike; the Circle Character Solo Una the Falconer; Legion Character Solo
Fyanna the Lash; and Skorne Character Solo Tyrant Zaadesh.
This means that the second wave will be: The
Retribution Character Heavy Warjack Imperatus; the Convergence Light Vector
Galvanizer; the Satyr Heavy Warbeast kit that can make ever the Gnarlhorn, Rip
Horn or Shadowhorn; and the Warmachine High Command Campaign Expansion Set “Invasion
of Sul”. This will most likely be on the 25th of June.
Next is the Stonehaven Miniatures. Stonehaven
Miniatures are the people behind the Elven Adventurers Box Set KickStarter as
well as the Dwarf and Gnome versions in the past. The have just started a new
KickStarter that is not another Adventurers Box Set. This time they are doing
pop-up terrain. It is called “Pop-Up Miniature Terrain Kit”. I have backed it
as PDF level as the cost of Postage and Packing would push it up too much for
me.
Goodies unlocked since starting: The KickStarter was
funded; and more cover bits to customise your pop-up terrain has been added.
Stretch Goals still left when I posted this post
were: A Viking Village terrain setting at $10k.
Now for the Cool Mini or Not news. With Zombicide I
forgot to report lost week we got a new mission called "Escape From La
Santé". Also this week we got an image of a new helicopter landing pad
tile which will mostly be part of one of the two box set from the Season Three
KickStarter and the box art for a new yet unseen Special Guest pack. This one
is from Paolo Parente, one of the people running the Dust KickStarter. This
pack looks fantastic and I will be trying to get a hold of it. No word if it
will be a part of the Season Three KickStarter or just a general release.
However they did say coming soon.
Next is the Mekton news. We got images of what the
dice will look like.
Now for the StarCrawlers news. The second pre-alpha
will be starting today for backers that backed at pre-alpha.
Next is the Battle System news. The production is
done now and they should on start shipping from China, to their warehouse. They
should arrive about mid-July and then it will start shipping to backers end of
July to early August, it not sooner.
Now for the Mantic news. I now have a rough date on
when Dwarf King's Hold KickStarter will start, it will be ever the end July or
early August 2014.
Next is the Ninja Division news. Production has
finally started on Wave one of Robotech RPG Tactics.
Now for the Crooked Dice Games news. Both the May
and June releases are out now (In fact May stuff was release before last week’s
post and I missed them). This includes a new starter for the Argonauts. Also we
got images this week of July’s releases. These were three Plastons, a Metalnaut
(sadly I am not really liking it) and the Departmen X Advance Weapon team.
Lastly there is a little Kindgom Death Monster news. Adam has posted in the comments section of the Kickstarter a picture of the Hard Plastic version of the Sunstalker next to the resin one. Can you tell which is the hard plastic and which is the resin? I personally think it is the one on the right due to the colour and shine.
