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”
First off is the HeroClix news. This week we had
previews of: The Weaponer of Qward, the White Lantern version of Kyle Rayner,
Krona, Swamp Thing, the Black Lantern Ring and the Black Lantern Power Battery
from DC War of Light.
Next is the Dust: Operation Babylon KickStarter
news. There was a little mistake do do on last week’s post. I did not read the
whole Update from them that arrived before I posted the post. Due to retail
backers that are not on KickStarter, they have made an extra $25k and 100
backers so far. This meant that the
goals have been reduced by that amount. This had meant that the next goal was
made. However yesterday this was increased to $300k and 200 backers.
Goodies unlocked since last week were: New units for
the NDAK (Axis) and the Spetsnaz (SSU) were added as add-ons; more weapon
upgrades were added to the army deals; a new NDAK (Axis) walker and a new USMC
(Allied) unit were added as add-ons; vinyl game maps were added as add-ons; and
a set of Kickstarter exclusive Operation Babylon dice were added to
each army deal.
Stretch Goals still left when I posted this post
were: Each army deal will gain a new alternate pose hero figure at $350k
$325k $275; a new USMC (Axis) mortar unit, a new Spetsnaz (SSU) Heavy
Tank and two other units as add-ons at $375k $350k $300k; the choose of a KickStarter
Exclusive Template or a set of KickStarter Exclusive Tokens added to your army
deal at $400k $375k $325k; a new
USMC (Axis) Light Walker, a new SSU Steel Guard unit and a new USMC
(Allied) Assault unit as add-ons at $425k $400k $350k; one free
walker body added to every army deal at $450k $425k $375k; Kickstarter
exclusive Operation Babylon decals added to each army deal at 1,250
1,150 1,050 backers; and an Abandoned Well terrain piece added to each
army deal at 1,500 1,400 1,300 backers.

| The Civilian NPC from Last Saga |
Now for the Knight Miniatures news. They have
revealed another 35mm comic book characters they are working on, Superman.
Next is a KickStarter I backed called Last Saga. It
is a sci-fi skirmish game. I am backing it for one figure (the civilian). The
figure do look good, however I do not have the money (with Zombicide Season
Three coming) to washed on this. But it will not stop me posting about it.
Goodies unlocked since it started were: It was
funded; the Dragon unit for the Council; the Calamity unit for the Uruhvel; all
starter packs now includes an additional weapon set for the basic units; the
Commando unit for the Council; the Vespidae unit for the Uruhvel; all Combat
pledge levels gains one additional type A miniature of your choose; all Battle
pledge levels gains two additional type A miniatures of your choose; Master
pledge level gains three additional type A miniatures of your choose; the
Civilian NPC was added to Combat Level and above; the Saanar Starter Pack was
added; a new Dog of War unit; a digital art book for all backers; and Guardian
of Tanaor Starter Pack.
Stretch Goals still left when I posted this post
were: The Black Crow unit for the Council at £12,750; a new un-named Vespidae
unit at £13k; and the Stalker unit for Uruhvel at £13.5k.
Now for the Privateer Press news. This week we got
images of the Retribution Character Heavy Myrmidon Imperatus, the Cryx Ally
unit Cephalyx Mind Slaver with Drudges, the Mercenary Unit Attachment Cephalyx
Dominator, the Mercenary Con Exclusive Gobber Drudges, the Mercenary Solo Cephalyx Agitator, the Trollblood Trollkin
Character Solo Horgle Ironstrike, the Circle Character Solo Una the Falconer,
the Skorne Character Solo Tyrant Zaadesh and the Legion Epic Blighted Nyss
Warlock Absylonia Daughter of Everblight.
Next is the Mantic news. The pledge manager is up
and run, and it will be running until the end of September. With the money made so for, the Ada-Lorena MVP
Phantasm has been added to Rampage level and above as well as an add-on. The
next stretch goal is the Tsudoshan MVP M’zei Kein who will be added to Rampage
level and above as well as an add-on at $600k. We also got CAD images of the
three Extreme Cheerleaders. The only problem I have with the new Cheerleaders is that they are all in one piece, making them harder to convert.
Now for the Ninja Division news. There was a
Robotech RPG Tactics update this week. We got a line art breakdown of the components
of the re-design Spartan which is currently still being tooled. Many items for
wave one will being manifesting next week and according to them the rest should
follow quickly.
Lastly a new monthly feature was meant to happen
this week, the top twenty Wargames KickStarter. This started last month, but I
never stated that it would be a monthly thing (in fact I decided to make it
monthly after posting it). However as there has been not change. I will not be
doing one this month. I did have a feeling that Dust will be in it next month,
however the retail backers will destroy these as the chart is only for money
made ON KickStarter. If it included other sources, things would be a hell of a
lot different.
