Just a few weeks ago we were asking where all of the promised Battletomes were…now it’s raining content! Scourge of Gyrhan is here, and there is plenty to talk about. We also get a peek at the changes to All-Out Attack & Defense, and Dan scores a Tactics bullseye! Lots of great stuff…join us for a solid listen. Thanks as always for joining us. Your…

Vampires in the house…the Soulblight Gravelords Battletome review is live! Lots (and lots) of heroes and some pretty solid units. A solid trio of manifestations and a couple of interesting Armies of Renown top off our discussion of the book.

Welcome to Milwaukee and Adepticon 2025! We had a blast and very different experiences over our four days there. So many good things to say, so many great changes. Brendan took home a boat load of medals and Dan met one of his favorite GW authors! Sigmar Teams, Youngbloods, paint judging and The Pit…lots of gaming goodness. Oh, and there is a Sprin…

There’s plenty of stuff in the new Gloomspite Gitz Battletome…Gitz (and Squigs), Trolls, Spiders, and something new…lots of wolves! There are so many moving parts here and so many combinations of units that the book can seem a bit overwhelming. While we found the Armies of Renown to be watered down versions of the rest of the book, the new Gitmob R…

Thought we would tackle something that many Sigmar players think about…how do I deal with those units that are just a pain in the butt? Dan calls out a unit, and Brendan gives us some rules context then offers some thoughts on ways to deal with these problems. Remember, some problems may not have good solutions! We also take some time to offer our …

Cohost Dave and I wander into the outlands of our hobby and gaming experience…we talk small events, hobby table stuffs and yes, a bit more discussion of the world outside of the Mortal Realms. Rest assured that continued discussion of other gaming systems is not indicative of moving our focus from Age of Sigmar. We do, however, feel we need to ackn…

Lots and lots of dice have been rolled recently by The Cube crew…mostly Brendan. Event recaps with LOTS of crazy happenings…very enjoyable. But first, Dan takes us to a land that is not Games Workshop, where miniature games flourish and folks have a great time! So many listeners are, or will soon be, engaged with very unique, non-Warhammer miniatur…

Whoa…two factions in one battletome! Ironjawz and Kruleboyz bringing the hurt and the sneakiness. Not too excited for this one except for the beefy Spearhead. That being said, we Cube this bad boy in our usual way and have a great time doing it. The “big pig” army of renown in the app (it’s not in the book) looks pretty fun too. That Ironjawz army …

The first show of 2025…Happy New Year! It appears that GDub actually listened to the community as the December ’24 Battlescroll has some meaningful changes. There is a ton of stuff in this document, and we tried to get to the most impactful changes. Right at the start there are important changes to the Seasonal Rules. Lots of other faction specific…

Thanks to everyone for making this a gre…

Belakor and the crew are back...time to review the new Slaves To Darkness Battletome! Had a good time with this one. I finished with a different opinion than when we started except...Darkoath still doesn't feel right. That being said, my Darkorth Spearhead arrived as I was editing the show, and its a beauty! Also a brief event recap to fill things …

Well that was nice...this episode is about two hours shorter than the last two! That being said, time for us to get back to something we haven't done in a while...event recaps. Brendan heads to Indy for BolterCon, and I head south to Chicago for my first Holy Havoc. What a blast! All the normal kit as well...enjoy an episode that you can listen to …

Two episodes in one...we review the new Stormcast battletome and welcome back our great friend Tyler Emerson! I thought the last episode was long...naaah. Plenty of time stamps to help you take this one in small bites...please do so. Maybe with all the content in the new books, this may be more the norm than the exception. Either way, plenty of lis…

Whew...this is along one...but don't worry...we have you covered with time stamps! Our first 4th Ed Battletome review...Skaven! Brendan has returned and Dave joins us for a walk though of this beasty tome, including two Armies and two Regiments of Renown. Some pretty scary shooting units in this book, and one of the Armies of Renown is a contender …

Yes, pun intended in the title...just couldn't help myself! The Lord of Change and his minions are here to change the fate of the Mortal Realms, and there are many tools in this particular toolbox. Bucket loads of casting, two spell lores and lots of interesting units. Tzeentch is certainly on track to push its way to the S Tier in the meta. Of cou…

It's time to give Khorne his due and dive into the Blades of Khorne Index. Still so many heroes! Bloodthirsters are looking beasty as hell with that shiny new ward save, but there are so many ways to play this index. Mortals have fun toys, the prayer lore is strong and daemons still come to the fight aching to cover themselves in the blood of their…

Close the refrigerator door...Mawtribes are in town and they are HUNGRY! Despite what you may have seen about Ogors in 4th, there is a lot more to talk about than just Gutbusters. We discuss the many other aspects of this index that can still make it fun to play. Things are certainly different, but Monster Trucks are still a thing. Leadbelchers and…

We made it...Epis0de 150! What a ride! Thanks to so many people and all of you listeners for making it possible. That being said, we still have a show to do, and we are going hot with our review of the Fyreslayers Index. Dan also gives us a look back at his recent Spearhead event, Da Pointy End, which he totally enjoyed. By the way, we talked about…

Time for some Tree People love! After a couple weeks of doing some homework and actually spending time with the index, Dan has a very different opinion about Sylvaneth. Hopeful is the word we would use. Join us as we dive into our first index review of Sigmar 4.0! We also give a bit of time to discussing the seasonal rules in the General's Handbook…

This episode is chocked full of stuff! Let's start with BoDCon...easily the best three days of non-miniature gaming in years!

Aaaaand, we provide index commen…

Brendan returns in time for us to team up for a discussion of Sigmar 4th Edition Core Rules...Cube style. Less focus on the specifics, more focus on understanding how the new rule set works and our thoughts and opinions about them. There is a lot to be excited about, and very few things that leave us asking why. We also start Emperor Lies with a qu…

Dave is back to assist in another round of Sigmar 4th Edition faction foci! By the time 4th drops in mid-July, we will have covered about 75% of the factions. As we did last time, we mix of bit of levity in with the raw information to keep things interesting. Please be aware, as before, that until the indexes drop, this information is sans context.…

Dave is back as cohost for this episode, as we take a look at the first batch of Faction Foci for Sigmar 4th edition. We will continue to stress that, until Index drops, this information is sans context...so enjoy our commentary with a teaspoon of salt! Be sure to head over to the very end of the show...Dave knocks it out of the ballpark...listener…

After a bit of a hiatus, we return with double trouble as Brendan & I head to separate events...Brewsky in Michigan and Spring Rubicon in Wisconsin.

A fun episode to record, and we're sure a great listen.Thanks as always for…

Another Dawnbringers book, and we both really like the Army Of Renown in this one! Caoldrons, Avatars, Warlocks, Witches...awesomeness! We also talk for a bit about what we KNEW (2 weeks ago) about 4th edition Sigmar, and given all the drops since, this discussion actually holds up pretty well...what do you think?Thanks as always for joining us.

To quote Monty Python..."and now for something completely different"...Sigmar March Madness! Two things we really enjoy, sports and Sigmar, combined into a crazy concept which we had a blast bringing to you. Many thanks to Brendan for this idea and the question bank we used to determine winners. We hope you have as much fun listening as we did putt…

Better late than never...hmmm. We finally have the Dec 2023 Battlescroll to discuss with you, and it's kind of a sweet and sour experience. Some welcome changes, but also some solutions in search of a problem...mixed bag for us. Dawnbringers IV has some strong Regiments of Renown, but also a hero in search of an army...will she find a home for her …

Hello everyone! "Best Order General" Brendan walks us through his 4-1 finish at Brewhammer, held in Columbus Ohio. Brendan gave his Sylvaneth, and Belthanos in particular a go, and the results speak for themselves! We also go through a pretty busy 2024, with about 15 events (so far) that folks may have an interest in, and we discuss how we plan to …

We enjoyed this so much it might become something you see on a more regular basis...hence the episode title! Hope you enjoy listening to our list building thoughts, from silly to tournament worthy to punch-you-in-the-face. The great thing about list building in our hobby is that the variations are practically limitless, but we hope these lists migh…

So we're out the gate in 2024 with some opinionated conversation, as well as some predictions and goals for the year ahead. Always great to be able to share our thoughts on the hobby we enjoy. I mentioned a book seller during Scriptorium, and have included the link to a review in the notes. For clarification, this is an Ebay style book seller site,…

This newest Battletome is a winner in our eyes! Balanced, flexible, great new models, and most importantly, a great update for this holdout book.

Brendan travels to Worlds in Altanta...and Dan stays local at Rockcon. Two events couldn't be much different, but we both had a great time. Brendan does a great job of getting us behind the curtain to see the goings on off table. We also decided to do a bit of list tech, which we haven't for a LONG time, because we are so excited about Belthanos. A…

The guys hit the road but head in different directions! Both playing Sylvaneth this go around, Dan heads to Dragonfall in Wisconsin and Brendan travels to Vault Wars in Missouri. Try as they might, they just couldn't get any trees planted...but both had a great time and a surprise award for one of them. We also talk about the Dawnbringers II FAQ, t…

A VERY short lore overview, and then right into the rules. Four Armies of Renown...two solid, one busted, one sad (IOHO). Overall, a solid landing with plenty to talk about. Can you guess which one Brendan had plenty to say about...and rightly so. We were also able to get around to commenting on the Fall Battlescroll...not many changes, but some si…

Yep, we are talking Cities over two episodes...lots to discuss and 4-5 hours of recording, and listening, probably wouldn't have worked for anyone! That being said, we are focusing on the Human side of the book in this episode and will circle around to Duardin and Aelf stuffs in Episode 130. We also plan on getting to the Fall Battlescroll in Episo…

Vampers have returned, and they are hungry! Their new tome really amps up the power, and some stuff in here is in serious need of a sanity check.

Also a bit of unintentional progno…

Blood for the Blood God, Skulls for the Skull Throne! After way too long, the Blade of Khorne Battletome has been brought into the modern world...and what a book it is!
