Welcome everybody to this week’s “Gaming News from Neoscream” post. This is my weekly gaming news post for miniature games, RPGs and some card games, as well as my miniatures painting and upcoming local events.

“Gaming News”

First off we have the HeroClix news. We got previews of: Steppenwolf, Brutaal, Parademon, Brimstone, Artemis and Amazon from DC Superman/Wonder Woman.

Then will be a Sneak Peek event at Wargames Workshop MK this Sunday. Please check the "CFVanguard and WeißSchwarz M.K." Facebook group for more information and how to sign up for it.

Next is the Wyrd Games news. This Monday's preview was of the renders of the Fermenter River Monk minions for Ten Thunders.

Now for the Cool Mini or Not news. The Arcadia Quest Inferno KickStarter is still going externally well. In fact they have beaten what the first KickStarter did and now they are on uncharted teruatry . Since the last post they have managed to unlock: The KickStarter exclusive heroes of Master Pim and the good version of Vexia from Pets; the expansion Chaos Dragon with the KickStarter exclusive hero Nina as an add-on; the KickStarter exclusive pets Bones and Gadget; a second Pet Pack add-on that contains three new pets; the Whole Lotta Lava KickStarter exclusive expansion which includes rules, two Hellcat monsters, Ignos monster and the previously unlock Fallen Agel; the heroes Anvil and Valma as an add-on; the KickStarter exclusive Poison Dragon; the heroes Yona and Kuruk as an add-on; and a Plastic Token Pack with Exploration, Door, Portal and Spawn tokens.

The stretch goals that are still going as I post this are: A Game Tile and tokens to go with the Poison Dragon at $1,075k; and cards and a box to finish off the KickStarter exclusive  Poison Dragon expansion at $870.
This Kickstarter will be ended Tuesday night/Wednesday morning. Let us see which they can unlock between now and then.
On other Cool Mini or Not news, Zombicide Black Plague has started shipping to backers.

Next is the Hawk Wargame news. Their KickStarter for Dropfleet Commander has just finished making £629,222 with 3,918 backers. Since last week they have managed to unlock: UCMF Admiral, UCM Faction, Scourge Faction, PHR Faction, Shaltari Faction and a KickStarter exclusive DFC t-shirts as an add-ons; digital screensaver; Civilian Cruise Liner was added to the Captain level pledge and above; Eden Prime Map Pack as an add-on; Resin Deluxe Cluster pack as an add-on; Dropfleet Commander poster as an add-on; a free Frigate Sprue of each race was added to all level pledges at; a UCM Dog Tag will be added to all level pledges; Resin Scourge Scenery set as an add-on; a KickStarter exclusive 2-Up PHR Cruiser as an add-on; a Hawk pin was added to the Captain level pledge and above; and a set of Activation Card was added to the Captain level pledge and above.

Now for the KickStarter "Warbears and Stagriders, Fantasy Wargames Miniatures" news. The KickStarter has finished now and they have managed to make £7,015 with 209 backer. Sadly they did not unlocked the Sorceress on a tiger.

Next is the Demigods news. The resin figures for Evolution (their second KickStarter) and rules parts for the Demigods game are almost done, which means Demigods Evolution will ship soon. However the plastics for Rising (their first KickStarter) has been delayed and will most likely ship July 2016 or later now. This is due to a bunch (or a lot) of people who only backed Demigods Rising complaining about being treated as "Second class citizens" as they were not getting the new sculpts from Evolution. WTF! The Evolution backers paid at least twice the cost for a hell of a lot less figures so they could have the new sculpts and to get their figures in resin. Anyway they have decided to change the plastic to the new sculpts and sadly this has pushed should take them to July 2016 and now the Demigods Evolution backers will get their stuff before the Demigods Rising ones. This massive delay and the fact that Evolution will ship before Rising has really pissed me off. I am a backer of Rising and I never upgraded to Evolution. I hated that fact that it would cost me a ton more for less, but I had no problems with getting the old stuff. It was my decision not to upgrade. It is nice to get the new sculpts, but I would FAR prefer to get then before or at least when the Evolution stuff ships, not over half a year after the Evolution.

Now for the Mechabrick news. They have started their Upgrade crowd funding, however it is on Indiegogo instead of KickStarters. It contains upgraded kits and painted parts. This has unlocked so far: Funded; and two Printed Nanofigs added too all pledge levels.
The stretch goals that are still going as I post this are: A Shield of Fire will be added to all XL pledge levels at $4k; a Golden Sword will be added to all XL pledge levels at $6k; a Neon Black Printed Shield will be added to all  pledge levels at an revealed amount; and a Neon Black Print Mech will be added to all  XL pledge levels at an revealed amount.

Next is the Ninja Division news. With their Ninja All-Starts KickStarter, all pledges are pack and are now being packed into containers to ship to fulfilment centres.

Now for the Modiphius news. The Pledge Manager for the Infinity RPG is basically ready and they are sending invites to backers. I have not checked my e-mail yet to see if I got it. 

Next is the Mantic news. Wave two of Kings of War is expected to ship on the 14th of December.

Now for the Vesper-On news. I received my box game this week. I brief look how ever it is being saved until Christmas However thee game and figures are much bigger than I expected. Also the gbox game has now hit stores.

Gaming News from Neoscream: 12th June 2015

Welcome to the “Gaming News from Neoscream”. This is my weekly gaming news post for miniature games, RPGs, some card games, my painting and upcoming local events.

“Gaming News”

First off we have the HeroClix news. We got previews of: Kamion Wizard, Hayabusa Knight Seiyaryu, Petit Angel and Spirit of the Harp from Yu-Gi-Oh Series Three; and Protector from Marvel Age of Ultron Event. I will be doing a list of what I have from Marvel Avengers Assemble at a later date. Maybe Sunday.

Next is the Mantic news. With DreadBall Xtreme, they have shown off the four new giants and four new Sponsors from Xtreme. Wave three should start shipping the same time as the Deadzone Infestation goes up, which is 22^nd of June.

The Drowned

Now for the Home Raiders news. The KickStarter ended on Sunday. They made £26,098 with 374 Backers. They sadly din not unlocked since last week’s post. The stretch goal that were not unlocked were: The faction “Freeloaders” with their faction starter set as an add-on at £30k; and a Freeloaders Booster with the Archivists and the Keeper of the flaming stick as an add-on at £33k.

Next is the Wyrd Games news. This week in the Monday preview, we got two new renders. The first was of the Drowned and the second was of the Silent One.

The Silent One

Now for the Ninja Division news. The pledge manager for Ninja All-Stars is now open.

With Robotech RPG Tactics, they have set-up a ordering system were backers can order the Convention Exclusive figures and a bunch of new figures from a third party. These are basic Earth Defence units like tanks and Infantry. These new figures will come with the cards to use them. They are also having an issue with scale with future expansions. The game is currently 6mm, however they have now realised that this will be a problem scale for the Robotech shows based after the first series (especially the Cyclones). They are planning on doing a poll to see what they should do: Stick to 6mm, change to 10/15mm, do the other stuff at 10/15mm, make the game in too scales 6mm and 10/15mm to name what I know.

Next is the Zero Agents news. Since last week they have manage to unlock: Nothing.

With the stretch goals all they revealed that there is one at $65k and one at $70k. However they have revealed that there will be another Expansion set for the game that is Magic based called Mystic Arts that will be an add-on and a cross over figure of Candy from Soda Miniatures. Mystic Arts will get one Agent (Gemini-0), one Boss (The Sorceress) and Level two Minions (Magician).

Now for the Privateer Press news. They have revealed the date for the June releases. It will be June 17^th. There will be: the Warmachine Reckoning book; the Khador Unit Iron Fang Pikemen/Black Dragons with Unit Attachment; the Circle Cavalry Unit Tharn Wolf Riders; the Skorne Heavy Warbeast Extreme Titan Gladiator; the No Quarter Presents special “Forces of Distinction”; and the Retribution of Scyrah Army Box.

Next is the Cool Mini or Not news. Zombicide is back on KickStarter and this time it a new game, the Black Plague. It basically plays like the original Zombicide but with some major changes. There is now a Necromancer for the survivors to defeat and survivor cards are different. It is a dashboard that I showed off last month. It also on the KickStarter is the expansion for it, Wulfsburg, which adds Wolves and a Werewolf to the game. Even thou all the man mechanics are the same, it is not compatible with the Original Zombicide what so ever (like Warhammer Fantasy and Warhammer 40,000, but not as extreme). It has done hugely well in the first day, well it made one million in one day. WOW! I have not really backed it (apart from the $1 to follow it for updates) as I own the original game and it takes up a lot of space.

There are two main Pledge levels. The first is “Huntsman” which originally comes with comes with the Zombicide: Black Plague box game and Hero Box 1. The second one is “Knight” which originally comes with comes with the Zombicide: Black Plague box game, Hero Box 1, the expansion Zombicide: Wulfsburg and the KickStarter exclusive survivor Gowan.

Since starting they have managed to unlock: Funded the game; free campaigns for Black Plague and Wulfsburg; a map editor (most likely an upgrade to the standard Zombicide one); five more Zombie Walkers were added to both pledge levels; the KickStarter exclusive survivors Lucas, James, Hitch, Mortuner, William, Danton, Tray, Evil Tray, Falstaff, Montalban, Xuxa and Morgan were added to both pledge levels; four more Zombie Runners were added to both pledge levels; four more Zombie Fatties were added to both pledge levels; three more Wolfz were added to both pledge levels; both the Marc Simonetti and Paul Bonner Special Guest Boxes for Zombicide Black Plague were added to both pledge levels; an extra Necromancer was added to both pledge levels; an extra Abomination was added to both pledge levels; a KickStarter Exclusive first player metal coin was added to both pledge levels; four KickStarter Exclusive headless N.P.C. zombies based on Eddard Stark was added to both pledge levels; an extra Wolf-bomination was added to both pledge levels; four KickStarter Exclusive N.P.C. zombies based on Snow White was added to both pledge levels; twenty N.P.C. spawn cards was added to both pledge levels; four KickStarter Exclusive pope based N.P.C. zombies was added to both pledge levels; four nurse N.P.C. zombies was added to both pledge levels; a Abominotaur with spawn cards and Broken Wall tokens; four moor N.P.C. zombies was added to both pledge levels; four dwarf N.P.C. zombies was added to both pledge levels; a dice bag was added to both pledge levels; a dice tower was added to both pledge levels; both the Adrian Smith and Carl Critchlow (Thrud the Barbarian) Special Guest Boxes for Zombicide Black Plague were added as add-ons; a pack of six Bone custom dice as an add-on; and an extra tiles pack as an add-on.

The stretch goals that are still going as I post this are: The KickStarter exclusive survivor Paul will be added to both pledge levels at $1.58m.

Now for the Demigods Rising news. They are back to KickStarter to fund their new resins due to problems with the original people doing them for them. There are two main levels, plus two upgrade levels which I have explained in a past post. However Gold will also include the new stretch goals.

Since starting they have managed to unlock: Funded the new resins; and the fifth Demigod Divine Knight from Awaken Realms.

The stretch goals that are still going as I post this are: The sixth Demigod Angel of Song from Angelarium at $30k.

Next is the Dragon Tides news. We got images this week of the new render of Blackbird figure. They re-posed it to be more like the art work.

Now for the Journey: Wrath of Daemons news. Wave one should be shipping from China to the Hubs soon. The only eta we have is that the US (not the hub or backers) is estimated to arrive on July 13^th.

Next is the Last Saga news. Metal production has started and is going well.

Now for the “Anime Miniatures” KickStarter news. The pledge manager is now up.

Lastly there is the new version Paranoia news. They are behind schedule and this is by the look of things due to the same problem all KickStarter RPGs suffer from, artwork.

·                     On Tuesdays at Wargames Workshop MK it is Card games night (or is it just Magic the Gathering).

·                     On Thursdays York House in Stony Stratford is open from Wargamers and Boardgamers.

·                     On Fridays at Wargames Workshop MK it is Friday Night Magic.

·                     On Sundays, Wargames Workshop MK is now open. It will be for role-play and board games day on every Sunday apart from the last Sunday of the month which will be a card games day (Yu-Gi-Oh, Magic and Cardfight Vanguard).

·                     On Saturday the 6^th of June 2015, Guardians of Tyr will be running a Steam Roller Warmachine/Hordes tournament at Wargames Workshop MK.

Wargames Workshop MK has a £2 gaming fee or £4 with a pack of Magic the Gathering cards unless it is a paid tournament run by Guardians of Tyr (not including High Command). Weekday events normally start “playing” at 7PM.

For rules for Guardians of Tyr tournaments and leagues as well as information on pre booking your place in tournament. Pre booking is highly recommended so they know how many people are coming. So please go to their website which there is a link to it under my links section which are located on the right hand side of this blog.

York House has a £3 on the day gaming fee and a £5 fee for a year’s membership. However the first day is free and they only take yearly membership fee at the start of the year. The Hall officially opens at 7PM, but normally people start arrived 15 to 20 minutes early.

“Painting and Converting”

This post I have for you a full VF1A Valkyrie and the wing weapon pods for it and last Tuesday VF1J Valkyrie from RoboTech RPG Tactics.

The next post should be a Novas Vira Heavy team from Mara Attacks; Misaki from Malifaux and two Free Agents from DreadBall Xtreme.

Until next time, hope for a better tomorrow.
