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 new version Paranoia news. Over the
week they managed to unlock: An extra adventure was added to Ultraviolet.
The Stretch Goals that still going on: The Game’s
Master’s Scream at £150k.
Now for the Wireless Power Board Game Terrain and
Miniature Lighting KickStarter. Sadly it is still being funded, however they
have added a bunch of new backer levels and add-ons.
Next is the Privateer Press news. Wednesday saw the
release of Skorne Epic Cavalry Battle Engine Warlock Xerxis the Fury of Halaak,
the Minion Farrow Warlock Helga the Conquerer and issue 57 of No Quarter magazine.
Also the re-release of the ten man Flameguard Cleansers Protectorate Unit, the
fifteen man Blackbane's Ghost Raiders Cryx Character Unit, the six man Strider
Blightblades Legion Blighted Nyss Unit, the six man Strider Rangers Legion
Blighted Nyss Unit, the ten man Praetorian Keltarii Skorne Unit and the ten man
Praetorian Swordsmen Skorne Unit.
Now for the
Mantic news. The Kings of War Mini Kickstarter has started and is going
strong. In the KickStarter there are two
main pledge levels. There is "Living Legend" and there is "God
of War". At the start of the KickStarter you got both a hardback and mini
softback version of the second edition rulebook in "Living Legend"
and in "God's of War" you get everything in "Living Legend"
and ever two Starter Armies or a Mega-Starter Army of your choice.
In a space
of a week they have: Funded the new rulebook; Army List Creator and Chess Clock
apps were added to Living Legend level; counters were added to Living Legend
level; an Elf Mage Queen was added to the Elf Mega Starter Army; a Basilean
War-Wizard was added to the Basilean Mega Starter; the Forces of the Abyss
Starter set with 40 Lower Abyssals (can be built into ever melee or range
versions), 20 Abyssal Succubus and 10 Gargoyles; the Forces of the Abyss Mega
Starter set with 80 Lower Abyssals (can be built into ever melee or range
versions), 40 Abyssal Succubus, 10 Gargoyles and an Abyssal Champion; a
Kickstarter Exclusive Resin Tyrant King Blaine on Gramakh was added to Living
Legend level; Movement Trays and dice as add-ons; an Undead Necromancer was
added to the Undead Mega-Starter Army; the Dwarf Warsmith was added to the
Dwarfs Mega Starter Army; and a new Map of Mantica was added to Living
Legend level.
Currently as
I post this these are the stretch goals that have not been done yet: A Kings of
War Worldwide Campaign with a digital copy added to Living Legend level at
$190k.
With DreadBall Xtreme, Mantic have started sending out
the PDFs of the rulebook for Xtreme (not to be confused with the DreadBall Season
books). I have received the email but have not had the time to look at it as I
have HeroClix last night. On a bit of bad news Guardians of Tyr will no longer
be running DreadBall Tournaments at Wargames Workshop MK.
Also the Mars Attacks rulebook and Compendium have
been updated. What changes have they done I do not know as it was done
yesterday.
Next is the
Kingdom Death news. I somehow missed a short update last week. It was showing
off the painted finished rulebook and some artwork. They also stated That there
will not be any mini updates until after Black Friday, as they are working on a
MASSIVE update for Black Friday.
On Tuesday
they had a restock in their store of Savior, Savior Age 20, Savior Age 40, Savior
Age 80 and Super Savior. However by the time I post this the Savior Age 40 has
sold out.
Now for the Journey: Wrath of Daemons news. Due to
some MAJOR problems they will not be able to start shipping until mid-December.
This will mean that that it will not be arriving for Christmas for backers
sadly. The delays is due to a bunch of quality problems with things like the
packaging, cards and tokens.
Next is the
HeroClix news. Last week the DC Flash set was released. HCRealm's are slowly
getting all of the figures up on their units section. Hopefully they will be
done by the end of the week.
Now for the Mechadrome Heavy Metal Combat news.
Yesterday I received my stuff. I got the rulebook and cards. The rulebook is
much shorter than I expected, but it is a more handler size. Sadly they have
dropped the ability for pilots to improve during a league. I am have said it
before, but I am planning on using this as the basis for my Mecha Knights game.
I was planning on doing some changes a I would have preferred a smaller scaled
game. I am planning on doing it as 12mm scale instead of the 28mm. This will mean
I will be halving all the movement and ranges to fit the scale change better. So adding a pilot enchantment system will just another thing.
Next is the Dust: Operation Babylon news. They should
be receiving the stuff from the manufacturers in their UK Warehouse by the end
of the month and in their US and Australia by early December. They have decided
to split the shipment to backers into two wave (WTF they decided to do this three
months after the KickStarter original was meant to ship). Wave one should
hopefully arrive before Christmas and will contain: Operation Babylon, Army
Deals (Primed and Premium), Cards, Rulebooks, Tokens, Templates and any
Achilles releases. Everything else will be in wave two which there is currently
no date for.
Lastly is the current Hasslefree Miniatures Sculpting
Contest news. I finally got a message on last Friday night saying that they
just received the figures and will bill me soon and ship it on Saturday. Oddly
I received a message on Saturday that it was on its way and then received the
figures on Tuesday, however I never got the bill until this morning (which I
paid).
