Neoscream's Gamer Life: 25th to 31st of July

Welcome everybody to another the "Neoscream's Gamer Life" post. This is my weekly post of life and gaming. This week's Kingdom Death opening pictures is the first Lion Knight.

"Life"

On Monday evening I went down to Wargames Workshop MK for my first ever game of Mark three Warmachine. I was using a modified version of my classic Captain Kara Sloan Force. Due to points changes and the fact that you can only field one attachment to your Battle Group now, I had to drop the Squier. Also after hearing how well Hunters work with Captain Kara Sloan, I decided to drop the Black 13th for my second Hunter (and buy a third). Here is the new look force:

Captain Kara Sloan (-28)
- Reinholdt, Gobber Speculator (4)
- Defender Heavy Warjack (16)
- Hunter Light Warjack (11)
- Hunter Light Warjack (11)

Arcane Tempest Gun Mages unit (11)

- Arcane Tempest Gun Mage Captain (4)

Greygore Boomhowler and Co uint (17)

- Captain Jonas Murdoch (4)

I was up against Glenn who was using a Retribution Force led by the new Warcaster Magister Helynna. It was a long, but good game. Sadly I lost, however I now know the changes they have done a lot better.

With Pokemon Go this week I have manage to get to level nineteen and I now have eight 1k Pokemon (I only had one before last week).

Due to working on Sunday (which I had off for several weeks), I could not get as much as I wanted done in my room. However it was ready for this Monday.

On Sunday night I got a brief game of L4D2 with Richard and Simon. The computer was behaving itself this time. The reason it was brief was that I miss the message as I was busy helping my dad got the living room ready for Monday.

"Thursday Night HeroClix"

On Thursday I went down to York House for HeroClix. The scenario was 500 points, no figure over 100 points (yes I did a typo in last week’s post). I building a Marauders themed team that I been wanting to try out. The team was:

Blockbuster (010 Marvel Uncanny X-Men) 65
Harpoon (011 Marvel Uncanny X-Men) 50
Lady Mastermind (012 Marvel Uncanny X-Men) 45
Riptide (014 Marvel Uncanny X-Men) 45
Scrambler (015 Marvel Uncanny X-Men) 30
John Greycrow (017 Marvel Uncanny X-Men) 60
Vanisher (018 Marvel Uncanny X-Men) 40
Sabretooth (031 Marvel Uncanny X-Men) 75
Mister Sinister (060 Marvel Uncanny X-Men) 95
=505 points

On the first round I was up against Adrian who was using a Pro-Registration themed team who were:

Iron Man (002 Marvel Civil War event) 80
Ms. Marvel (004 Marvel Civil War event) 80
Spider-Man (014 Marvel Civil War event) 80
Radioactive Man (016 Marvel Civil War event) 70 + Thunderbolts (ATA) 8 = 78
Taskmaster (026 Marvel Civil War event) 80 + Thunderbolts (ATA) 8 = 88
Mach-IV (028 Marvel Civil War event) 90 + Thunderbolts (ATA) 8 = 98
=504 points

I managed to win this game. Also Darren S won his game against Michael. On the second round I was up against Darren S who was using a Heroes For Hire themed team who were:

Daredevil (014 Marvel 2015 Prize Support) 90
Moon Knight (010 Marvel 2015 Prize Support) 75
Shroud (012 Marvel 2015 Prize Support) 40
Luke Cage (011 Marvel Civil War event) 70
Silver Sable (011 Marvel Deadpool) 100
Falcon (023 Marvel Civil War event) 70
=445 points

I must be missing something here, most likely a figure that I cannot remember that was missing from the photo I took. Anyway, like normal against Darren S, I lost. Also Adrian won his game against his brother Michael. On the third and final round I was up against Michael who was using an Anti-Registration themed team who were:

Captain America (001 Marvel Civil War event) 80
Vision (003 Marvel Civil War event) 80
Luke Cage (011 Marvel Civil War event) 70
Spider-Man (013 Marvel Civil War event) 80
Goliath (029 Marvel Civil War event) 90
Night Nurse (105 Marvel Civil War event) 20
Punisher (103 Marvel Civil War event) 60
=480 points

I ended up winning this game Also Darren S won against Adrian.

This week there is no HeroClix.

"Luck and Logic/Force of Will Tournament"

On Saturday I went down to Wargames Workshop MK for a Luck and Logic Tournament. There was also meant to be a Force of Will tournament too. Shell was not able to make it, however according to her Liam was meant to be running things, which I thought was odd as Liam said to me that he would not be at the tournament last week. However just before I got there (just past 11am), Liam left leave Matt in charge with no prize support. Something important must have come up or he was only there to give Matt the prize support got there and then needed to, forgot to give Matt the prize support. Anyway, sadly we did not get the turn out that was needed to run a Tournament for ever game (six players). So it ended up being a general free fight. I go a gaming in with my Sena deck which I won and some Cardfight Vanguard games borrowing Matt's decks as I left my decks at home as I thought I would not need them.

This is my brief weekly news section from the world of of war, board and card gaming (plus some other games). This up-to-date to when I post this than to Sunday night like the rest of the post.

First off we have the Bushiroad news. With Luck and Logic Friday next week will see the release of its first ever Extra Booster set "Tokonatsu Luck" in Japanese.

Next is the HeroClix news. Since last time we got previews of: Mephisto and Devil Dinosaur from Marvel Superior Foes of Spider-Man; and Spider-Man, J. Jonah Jameson and Doctor Octopus from Marvel Superior Foes of Spider-Man Fast Forces.

Now for the Miniatures Wargaming The Movie news. Since the last post they have not unlocked anything. The next stretch goals are "French Subtitles" at £17.5k and a "German Cameraman" miniature at £20k.

Next is the Mantic news. With the DreadBall 2 they have unlocked/added since the last post: A Deluxe Ultimate gaming mat as an add-on; Roster pads as add-ons; Return to Azure Forest Galactic Tour pack as an add-on; Twelve players for the new Matsudan team was added to the Striker pledge level and above; a new pledge level called "Most Valuable Play" which includes everything from the Striker, the Deluxe Ultimate gaming, Return to Azure Forest Galactic Tour pack, an extra Dice Shaker, a set of custom dice and Decal Sheet; five Draconis All-Star Robot player, one Draconis All-Star Robot Prone Marker, four Ninth Moon Tree Sharks Yndij players and a Dice Shaker was added to Stiker level and above; Draconic All-Stars team as an add-on; a new pledge level called "Team Colours" which comes with everything from Most Valuable Player however all the miniatures will be painted; the KickStarter Exclusive Ninth Moon Tree Sharks Yndij Captain was added to the Striker pledge level and above; Three extra players and three prone markers for the Night Moon Tree Sharks Yndij was added to the Striker pledge level and above; and Ninth Moon Tree Sharks Yndij team as an add-on.

The Zoider War" Lore/Art book at a social goal also five lucky random backers will get a physical hardcover copy.

Finally some Pokemon Go news. During the weekend there was a major change to Pokemon spawning locations and they rolled out the first of the fortnightly updates to the game which was very controversial.
Spawn locations for many of the rare Pokemon have changed. For example places where Pinsir were commonly found, you can now catch Electrabuzz.
The update was big, but was not in the way people were hoping. First thing now customise your trainer outside starting the game. Sadly no new options yet.
Next they moved Transfer a Pokemon into a menu button instead of being at the bottom of the page. Some people like this some people hate this. In my opinion I think it's a good move that will save time. Also Favoured Pokemon not not be transferred until you unfavour them.
There was a massive re-balancing of moves, were special attacks are much better now and are worth using.
Due to the three step bug and other things, they have removed the step system. They are currently working on a new tracking system. On top of this Niantic, the creators of the game, are shutting down third party apps like PokeVision as they are add more stress
Lastly (there are more but I need to get this finished. most of are bug fixes and new graphics/animations) catching pokemon has became more difficult and curve balls are harder to throw too. This was not covers in the updates list. Both this and the removing of the step system has really pissed of players (as well as iOS user lessing the battery saving system). Niantic lack of communications to players did not help. A statement has just came out from them, however it only really covers the step system and removal of third party apps.

Neoscream's Life: 20th to 27th June 2016

Welcome everybody to another the "Neoscream's Life" post. This is my weekly post of life, what games I have been playing, what I have been painting and what I have watching and reading. This week's Kingdom Death opening pictures is the Forge God.

"Life"

Not much for this section this week. On Monday I popped down to Wargames Workshop MK. It was more of a visit to see people as I did not go the previous week. Roxy was back in Milton Keynes for several days. On Saturday I decided to get into a new card game that had just came out in English from Bushiroad. The game is Luck and Logic. After the Cardfight Vanguard Duos Tournament I got some trades in for Luck and Logic from Shell, Liam and Jackie.

"HeroClix"

On Thursday I went down to York House for HeroClix. The scenario was 400 points, no figure over 75 points. This time we had a fifth surprise play, Roxy. I was using an X-Men team who were:

Colossus (001 Marvel Uncanny X-Men) 50
Nightcrawler (002 Marvel Uncanny X-Men) 50
Storm (003 Marvel Uncanny X-Men) 50
Thunderbird (004 Marvel Uncanny X-Men) 50
Warpath (019 Marvel Uncanny X-Men) 60
Professor X (034 Marvel Uncanny X-Men) 70
Angel (005 Marvel Days of Future Past) 74
=404 points

On the first round I was up against Adrian who was using an X-Men themed team who were:

Colossus (001 Marvel Uncanny X-Men) 50
Nightcrawler (002 Marvel Uncanny X-Men) 50
Storm (003 Marvel Uncanny X-Men) 50
Thunderbird (004 Marvel Uncanny X-Men) 50
Quicksilver (054 Marvel Uncanny X-Men) 75
Kitty Pryde (029a Marvel Uncanny X-Men)  45
Pixie (056 Marvel Uncanny X-Men) 75
=395 points

This was a close and it ended up as a draw, however as there cannot be draws in HeroClix, we had to roll off. Sadly Adrian won it. Also Michael had the bye and Darren S won his against Roxy.

On the second round I was on the bye. Roxy won her game against Michael and Darren S won his against Adrian. On the third round I was up against Roxy who was using a SHIELD themed team that I built for her who were:

Nick Fury, Jr. (001 Marvel Nick Fury Agent of SHIELD) 75
Agent Coulson (002 Marvel Nick Fury Agent of SHIELD) 75
Agent May (003 Marvel Nick Fury Agent of SHIELD) 75
Fitz (004 Marvel Nick Fury Agent of SHIELD) 50
Simmons (005 Marvel Nick Fury Agent of SHIELD) 50
Skye (006 Marvel Nick Fury Agent of SHIELD) 50
Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. (003 Marvel Avengers Movies) 19
H.E.N.R.Y. (099 Marvel Nick Fury Agent of SHIELD) 0
=394 points

Roxy managed to win the game. Sadly I cannot remember the others results. My dice rolls were awful in both games.

This week's scenario is "The 'New' Fantastic Four". 400 points, four figures no more no less, no figure with the Fantastic Four Keyword.

"Cardfight Vanguard Duos Tournament"

On Saturday I went down to Wargames Workshop MK for a Cardfight Vanguard Duos Tournament. Most likely due to Springfest the week before and space as they did not have the main hall, turnout was low. Only four teams (eight players) turned up. Shell was not playing due to the fact that she was running the store (we are all safe). I was teaming up with Jackie for this duos tournament. I was using my Cosmic Heroes deck while Jackie was using her Aqua Force deck.

On the first round we were up against Kyle G who was using Pale Moon and Jasper who was using Full Moon OTT. This Game ended as a draw due to time.

On the second round we were up against Matt C who was using Pale Moon and Kyle A who was using Kagero. We managed to win this game.

On the third round we were up against Jerom who was using Angels Feathers and Ansab who was using Gold Paladins. It was a good game and they were close to a win, however time ran out before they could. We stop for lunch before round four.

On the fourth round we were up against Matt C and Kyle A again. We managed to win this game as well.

On the fifth round we were up against Jerom and Ansab. It was a close and good game again, however we managed to win this time.

Due to numbers there was no cut offs and due to players (like Jackie) needing to go soon, Shell decided to ended the Tournament. With Three wins we somehow won the tournament. My bad luck has ended. Poor draws during Team Nationals the previous week and bad dice roll during HeroClix had bee my bane before hand. Wow my first Cardfight Vanguard Tournament win. Sweet.

"Painting and Converting"

During the week I sadly only managed to finish painting one figure. Another Doctor Who one. Due to getting this post out I will try to merge what is missing in this section in the Friday's/Saturday's post.

Neoscream's Life: 30th May to 5th June 2016

Welcome everybody to another the "Neoscream's Life" post. This is my weekly post of life, what games I have been playing, what I have been painting and what I have watching and reading. This week's Kingdom Death opening pictures is the Chosen.

"Life"

On Monday I went to my friend Jake's wedding. It was great seeing him so happy.

On Tuesday evening and Sunday day time I went to Wargames Workshop MK for some Cardfight Vanguard practice. I managed to get some good practice with my Novas and improved my deck by quite I bit. Just one more Busted needed, as well as seven Cool Hank and Clay-Dolls.

"HeroClix"

On Thursday evening I went down to York House for HeroClix. The scenario was is time "David(s) verses Goliath". Build two 300 points team.

• With Team One, "Goliath", you must only have one single figure and it must be from your own collection. No other figure allowed in this team.
• With Team Two, "David(s)", the maximum cost of individual figures is 100 points and you can borrow figures from other players.

Unlike normal, due to the quickness this should play, we did six round instead of the normal three. Each round you play as David or Goliath while the other player will play as the other.

My David(s) team was:

Pyro (006 Marvel Days of Future Past) 90
Destiny (011 Marvel Days of Future Past) 50
Mystique (018 Marvel Days of Future Past) 82
Havok (024 Marvel Wolverine and the X-Men) 81
=303 points

My Goliath team was:

Slattern (007 Pacific Rim) 300

In the first round I was up against Michael who was using his Goliath team who was:

Gate Guardian (052 Yu-Gi-Oh Season One) 300

This meant I was using my David(s) team. This was a close game as it ended up being Pyro and his Flame Construct against Gate Guardian and then Gate Guardian got a Critical Miss while attacking Pyro. This ended up KOing Gate Guardian. So I ended up winning, due to a Critical Miss. Also Darren S's David team defeated Adrian's Goliath team.

On the second round I was up against Darren S's David(s) team. Sadly I for to take photos and cannot remember his full team, but he was using an X-Men team with Banshee and the new Quicksilver. This meant I using my Goliath team. Like normal against Darren S I lost. Also Michael's Goliath team won against Adrian's David(s) team.

On the third round I was up against Adrian's Goliath team who was:

Hal Jordan and Sinestro (052 DC War of Light) 300

This meant I was using my David(s) team. Sadly I lost this game. Also Darren S's Goliath team defeat Michael's David(s) team.

On round four I was up against Michael's David(s) team who were:

Quicksilver (054 Marvel Uncanny X-Men) 75
Wolverine (005 Marvel Avengers vs X-Men) 75
Captain America (001 Marvel Captain America Civil War Starter) 95
Falcon (004 Marvel Captain America Civil War Starter) 45
=290 points

This meant I was using my Goliath team. Slattern white washed his team. Also Darren S's Goliath team defeat Adrian's David(s) team.

On the fifth round I was up against Darren S's Goliath team who was:

Hulk (052 Marvel Nick Fury Agent of SHIELD) 300

This meant I using my David(s) team. Like normal against Darren S I lost. Also Adrain's Goliath team won against Michael's David(s) team.

In the sixth and final round I was up against Adrian's David(s) team. Sadly I for to take photos and cannot remember his full team, but he was using a Green Lantern team with Rond Vidar and Guy Gardner. This meant I was using my Goliath team. I So how managed to white wash him. Also Darren S's David(s) team defeat Michael's Goliath team.

Over Darren S won and the BIG guy wins more than the little guys, about two out of three times.

"Painting and Converting"

During the week I managed to finish painting four Warmachine figures and a Guild Ball figure.

We did both of them with Bob as the Heroes. He won the first game, however he last the second game. We swap roles and as the Heroes I managed to win. We later realised we played the Wizard wrong as he play two minor spells as one action and he does not loss dice with his spells when injured.

Sadly I lost this game. Also Darren S won his game against Michael.

This week's scenario will be week four of Countdown to Civil War "Civil War is Here". 500 points. You most use the figure of your chosen character from the first week. No one else can use that figure, however people can use the character. Only characters from the film and your character's side.
As a reminder for people, I am Iron Man (201 Marvel Invincible Iron Man), Michael is Warmachine (029a Marvel Invincible Iron Man), Adrian is Black Panther (037 Marvel Captain America). And Darren S is Winter Soldier (024 Marvel Nick Fury Agent of SHIELD).

"Cardfight Vanguard Tournament"

On Sunday I went down to Wargames Workshop MK for a Cardfight Vanguard Tournament. Before I talk about the event, I would like to talk about a bit of personal Cardfight Vanguard news. I am planning on going to the nationals team play this year with another Robert (a friend of Adrian and Michael who has played HeroClix with us a couple of times) and Jackie (who has joined in on some games of Kingdom Death Monster). We have came up with a team name (that I thought of), MechanicalGearSword.

OK now back to the tournament. I decided to use my Nova Grappler deck as I am strongly planning to use that deck at team Nationals. On the first round I was up against Jasper who was using an Oracle Think Tank deck. Sadly this round ended with a draw due to time.

On the second round I was up against Martian who was using a Pale Moon deck. I ended up losing this game.

Sadly my mind as gone blank here. I can not remember if there were if there were four or five rounds before the top four play off. All I can remember is that I was up against Jackie who was using her new Aqua Force deck on the final round before the play-off. This ended up as a draw. Sorry about pulling a blank here. Sadly I did not make it to the top four. Well hopeful I can get the needed cards to improve the deck and get more use to using it.

"Painting and Converting"

For this post I have for you all is another both versions of Uncle Honk from Zombicide.

During the week I managed to finish painting fourteen more ships for the XCOM board game and then a Zombie and four Treasure tokens for Frostgrave. I also undercoated the Zombie, all six treasure tokens, a Robotech RPG Tactics figure and three Dungeon Saga figure.

In the next "Gaming News from Neoscream" post I should have for you all both version of Mitch and Adam from Zombicide.

Below is an image of my painting table at the end of last Sunday night or the start of Monday morning.

Neoscream's Life: 21st to 27th of March 2016

Welcome everybody to another the Neoscream's Life post. This is my weekly post of life, what games I have been playing, what I have been painting and what I have watching and reading. This week's opening pictures are of the Flower Knight.

"Life"

I did not manage to do any gaming on Monday at Wargames Workshop MK as no one was up for a game of Warmachine, Malifaux or Frostgrave against my. But I did pop into the store for some undercoat which I forget to buy the Sunday before.

Due to problems at work I could not do HeroClix on Thursday like normal and as I needed to have Friday off to do stuff with my mates, I have to sacrifice my Saturday off so I could not go to the Cardfight Vanguard Tournament or pick up a box of the new set G-BT-06 "Transcension of Blade and Blossom". I have not clue on when I can get it as the store is closed on Monday this week so there is no Monday game again.

On Friday I went to Richard's with Darren H and Simon. We played a game of Britannia that took all day like normal with that game. Darren H won the game and I came a close second.

"Loot Crate"

March's Loot Crate for 2016 arrived in the post during the week. This moth's theme was Verses. In the crate this time was:

AVP Aliens vs. Predator Vinyl Figure.
Marvel Daredevil and Punisher Reversible Hat.
Harley Quinn Comic Book.
Batman vs. Superman Dawn of Justice Mighty Wallet.
Quantum Mechanix Mirror, Mirror Star Trek T-Shirt.
The Monthly Magazine.
The Monthly Pin.

This is not a picture of the stuff "I" received, but it is what I got.

It was not that great of a Crate time. The lack of Captain America Civil War stuff with a Harley Quinn comic that seem to not have any reason to be it the crate is a bit of a let down. I am not saying the comic is bad, but it is not really in the theme of the crate. My favourite items were the t-shirt and the hat.

April's theme will be "Quest".

"Painting and Converting"

For this post I have for you all is two of my Cygnar Rangers from Warmachine rebased and three soldiers from the XCOM board game.

During the week I managed to finish painting two more Malifaux figures. I also undercoated an Arcadia Quest figure, a Kingdom Death Monster figure, and three Zombicide figures.

In the next "Gaming News from Neoscream" post I should have for you all three more Soldiers and five Interceptors from the XCOM board game.
