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 of there is the Stonehaven Miniatures. Their
“Pop-Up Miniature Terrain Kit” KickStarter had ended last Sunday. Their made
$36,334 and 1,221 backers. The goodies they managed to unlocked since last
week’s post were: A Long Lonesome Highway; and a Bridge over Troubled Water; On
Target; and the Playing Field.

| A-Bomb Abomination |
Sadly we did not unlock the Toppled Arches.
Next is the Mechadrome Heavy Metal Combat
KickStarter news. The KickStarter has ended and they made $6,417 with 74
backers. The goodies they unlocked so far since last week’s post were: All
backers of $20 or more will get a lifetime 10% discount on the Gangfight Games
online store.
The Stretch Goals that sadly were not done by the
end were: The backers can choose to add for free ever two Hazards or Objective
markers to the on pledges of $100 or more at $10k; the Light Mech Trion at
$13k; Terran Heavy Mechs which stand 10mm tall at $16k; the Medium Mech Omega
Centauri at $20k; also at $20k all backers of $100 or more will gain one free
light mech of their choose; and Bionic Light Mech(s) at $25k. They will be made
in the future, but there will be a wait and the order of things will change.
Now for the Cool Mini or Not news. The Zombicide
Season Three KickStarter has finally started and within nine minutes the
expansions were funded and after the first twenty-four hours they done way over a half a million.
WOW. There are two Backer levels (not including the early bird versions). These
are: Infected which comes with Rue Morgue and the V.I.P. (Very Infected People)
walkers box set one; and Patient 0 which comes everything from Infected, Angry
Neighbours and both the Zombie and Human version of the LE Survivor Audrey. I
am backing this at Patient 0 level.
The stretch goals that have been unlocked since they
started have been: A Purple Storage Box with all the promo Dashboards from
Season One and Two added to both pledge levels; eight more Skinner Walkers
added to both pledge levels; four Skinner Runners added to both pledge levels;
eight more Skinner Crawlers added to both pledge levels; two more Skinner
Fatties added to both pledge levels; three copies of the Exclusive Slave
Princess Leia V.I.P. zombie added to both pledge levels; nine more Seeker
Zombies added to both pledge levels; one more A-Bomb Abomination added to both
pledge levels; both the Human and Zombie version of Lucius added to both pledge
levels; a set of six yellow dice added to both pledge levels; both the Human
and Zombie version of Cat added to both pledge levels; an Exclusive female
A-Bomb Abomination added to both pledge levels; Campaigns for both Rue Morgue and Angry Neighbours; the map editor will be
updated; a set of six brown dice added to both pledge levels; three copies of
the Exclusive Elvis Presley V.I.P. zombie added to both pledge levels; a dice
bag added to both pledge levels; both the Human and Zombie versions of Doc
added to both pledge levels; both the Human and Zombie versions of Patrick as
an add-on; a new guest artist box by Miguel Coimbra as an add-on; Pimp Weapon
Cards added to both pledge levels; eleven more V.I.P. spawn cards added to both
pledge levels; two sets of two 3D Barrier tokens added to both pledge levels;
two copies of the Police Officer V.I.P. zombie added to both pledge levels;
both the Human and Zombie versions of Jesse added to both pledge levels; two
copies of the Sailor V.I.P. zombie; a new (fantastic) guest artist box by Paolo
Parente as an add-on; two copies of the Construction Worker V.I.P. zombie added
to both pledge levels; the Team Building Deck added to both pledge; and the
Human version of Oksana as an add-on (a Zombie version will be added as a future
stretch goal. Please note I am not listing old stuff being added as add-ons.
The stretch goals that are still going as I post
this are: Five Storm of Crows figures will be added to both pledge levels at
£1.05m; and Storms of Crows spawn cards will be added to both pledge levels at
£1.1m.
There is one odd thing I have noticed, none of the
Survivors from Rue Morgue have Zombivors. Will we see their Zombivor versions
later in the KickStarter as an add-on or a stretch goal?

| Pinup Wet Nurse |
Next is
the Kingdom Death news. The store had a
major update Monday night/Tuesday morning. There was a new figure of the long
awaited Pinup Wet Nurse, the resin version of the King a special clearance deal
on the Experiment of Death called Naked Experiment of Death and the female Savior
ages figures were restocked (20, 40, 80 and Super). However both the 20 and 40
year old versions of the Savior and the resin version of the King were sold out
within a couple of hours and by the time this post went up the Pinup Wet Nurse and Super version of Savior have sold out too. Due to how fast the King sold out by, Adam decided to
do what he did with Satan, place a second wave pre-order. The Naked Experiment
of Death deal is two sets of the Experiment of Death minus boxes and with one
set of cards (however the cards are limited) for just $25 (one set in the box
costs $65). The standard Experiment of Death comes with a PVC Wet Nurse, three
PVC Female Servants, a PVC Pinup Twilight Knight, two double sided arts cards
and a box to hold it all. I will be picking this up, but I will wait a little
while. Also we got an advance painting guide for the Pinup Forsaker.
Now for the Mantic news. This week we had previews
of the third Deadzone rule book, Incursion. The PDF version will be sent to all
backs in the next couple of months. We also got colour pictures of the Striders and their cards.
Beasts of War has been invaded by Ronnie
and there should be a LOT of new things being reveal over the weekend and come
week from Mantic on Beasts of War.
Next is the Privateer Press news. The new computer
specs for the beta version of Warmachine Tactics is now out and there is now a
Facebook page and Twitter account for the game.
Now for the Knight Miniatures news. Deathstroke is
the next DC character they are currently working on. Sweet.
Next is the Ninja Division news. With Robotech RPG
Tactics, all but the Tomahawk and the Defender from the Wave one stuff are in
manufacturing now. The Tomahawk and the Defender should hopefully enter manufacturing
tomorrow, that if they are no more errors on them. I cannot see this in July
now. Maybe mid-August.

game and had some gaming miniatures in it as rewards.
