Gaming News from Neoscream: 5th December 2014

Paranoia
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. The KickStarter has now finished and they have made £217,517 with 2,747 backers. Over the last couple of days they managed to unlock: Yellow Clearance Black Box Blues; and a third adventure was added to Ultraviolet. There were no Stretch Goals left.

Now for the Wireless Power Board Game Terrain and Miniature Lighting KickStarter. Sadly they could not get it funded.

Next is the Mantic news. The KickStarter has now finished and they have made $366,547 with 4,380 backers. Over the last couple of days they managed to unlock: An Orc War Drum team was added to the Orc Mega-Starter Army; three Ogre Berserker Braves was added to the Ogre Mega-Starter Army; three Abyssal Molochs were added to the Forces of the Abyss; two Goblin Warmachines were added to the Goblin Mega-Starter Army; a double sided pad for creating textured bases from Basius as an adding; twenty Salamanders, three Forest Shamblers, twenty Naiads; one Druid and one Greater Earth Elemental as part of a new Forces of Nature Starter set; forty Salamanders, six Forest Shamblers, forty Naiads, two Druids and two Greater Earth Elemental as part of a new Forces of Nature Mega-Starter set; one Greater Obsidian Golem was added to the Abyssal Dwarf Mega-Starter Army; set of four wound markers was added to “Living Legend” pledge level; Ronaldo the Bard was added to was added to “Living Legend” pledge level; Abyssal Fiend as an add-on.
Sadly there was a goal at $370k that was never made. It was a Centaur Hero that would have been added to the Forces of Nature Mega-Starter set. However knowing Mantic it will be unlocked during the Pledge Manager.
On other Mantic News, wave one of DreadBall Xtreme has started shipping. However it will JUST be the box game (maybe extra based on the box game content). Wave two will hopefully ship in January with a new Season 4 line-up and some of the third-party add-ons. Yes that is right, they relieved via Beasts of War Weekenders and NOT KickStarter that they have revised what team are in what season. Season four will be Brokkrs, Rebs, Sphyr and Hobgoblins. All but Hobgoblins were meant to be Season Five and the Hobgoblins were meant to be Season Six. Will this affect the teams that backer were thinking they are getting? I do not know and hope not. ALSO this means that there will now be a THRID wave.

Now for the Stonehaven Miniatures news. Shipment of the Coloured Pop-Up Miniature Terrain Kits has been delayed due to weather.

Next is the Ninja Division news. With Robotech RPG Tactics, containers 6 to 7 have arrived and the have be busy shipping. USA and Canada have all been shipped and European should be shipping by the end of this week to their European centre. It will take at least three to five weeks to ship and at least one week to ship from the centre to the backers.

Now for the Kingdom Death news. For an update on the state of the web store, they just now have People of the Sun, Pinups of Death - Hard Plastic Collection and Pinup White Speaker in stock after the Black Friday sells.

Next is the Dust: Operation Babylon news. The Pledge Manager will end this weekend, however they have started shipping to everywhere apart from US, Austria and New Zeeland.

Now for the Crooked Dice Games news. Five Chronal Commandoes from the Ministry of Time were just released this month.

Lastly is the Cool Mini or Not news. With Arcadia Quest I have missed an update last week say that the EU stuff should start December the 2nd, however there is no news that it has started. Also the AU stuff should start shipping next week.
