Dan recalls his adventures at the March of the Phalanx…an amazing two-day event organized by our equally amazing cohost Dave!  Friends, dice…excellent!  Brendan and Dan also give their initial reactions to the Lumineth/Tzeentch previews…both promise to bring all kinds of chaos to the gaming tables of Sigmar!  Most exciting is that both Battletomes will be live in short order!

Join us as we all become…gardeners!  The crew here at The Cube are all in for the new Nurgle book.  Daemons, Mortals, little of both…lots of solid stuff here.  One of the Armies of Renown is VERY interesting.  So join us as we walk through The Garden and find out how this tome works.  Just so you know, Nurglings are a fan favorite!

Another Battlescroll…meh.  Not real excited about this one, but some significant changes that need to be discussed, especially for those Khorne players out there.  Also, we finally reveal Dan’s Mystery Army for March of the Phalanx.  A few pics will be dropped on the Pants Mafia Discord and maybe on Facebook as well.  There is also a great deal of excitement in the studio for Papa Nurgle’s Battletome…get ready for a wild ride in Episode 182!

The whole crew is together for a 2025 review show…but wait…there’s more!  We also take a look into our crystal ball and try and guess some of the goodness we may have to look forward to in the coming year.  During show open we have our annual gift exchange, and the holiday spirit is alive and well on the Cube!  Thanks as always to our sponsor, Universe of Armored Fighting Vehicles…

Looks like those Chaos Dwarves got some solid updates…not looking forward to another matchup against these evil mechanics.  In the spirit of the holidays though, we present a collection of Christmas boxes designed by the podcast crew themselves!  Not too serious…just some fun toss-togethers to get those wallets interested.  Cohost Dave joins us for Emperor Lies.  Of course, let’s not forget the return of our cohost Brendan, who provides the REAL story behind his absence…no more allegations..#kingcrab!  Thanks as always to our sponsor, Universe of Armored Fighting Vehicles…

Taking a look into the not-so-distant future, we share our thoughts on the most recent Warhammer Previews!  The latest Warhammer Quest is full of fantastic models and here’s to hoping for some solid game play as well.  The Nurgle preview was also amazing.  Lots of other listening goodies sprinkled throughout the show.   Dave also provides us with what we are hopeful is our last #freebrendanmelnick update.  Thanks as always to our sponsor, Universe of Fighting Vehicles…

Here we go…no matter what you call them, the Helsmiths are here!  Dan & Dave have a good time reviewing this tome, as it is a new faction and has some very unique rules and great models!  Brendan has provided fire support in the form of notes on his thoughts about the book, so we are locked and loaded.  In Liber Nordstrumus, Dave talks to us about another new faction (with free rules!), the Black Shields.  Importantly, Dave also provides us with an update regarding #freebrendanmelnick.

Back in the saddle again with Dan & Dave!  We start out with a Horus Heresy rules breakdown (Tactical Statuses) and then a Dragonfall Recap by two guys who didn’t even play in the event…but trust me, we were out and about the entire weekend.  Our main topic this go is a Sigmar rules critique and some hot takes…we hope our thoughts and rules choices create some discussion.  Rest assured we still enjoy the game, just that once in a while it’s good to dig down a bit and express our opinions.  And most importantly, #freebrendanmelnick!

The dark reflection of reality is here…cannibal courts!  Something here for just about everyone.  Quite a bit more excited about this Battletome than the last one…Dan might be playing “how to train your (zombie) dragon” in the near future!  Strong traits, warscrolls, artifacts, lores…the whole package with several ways to play.  One for two with the Armies of Renown, and the knight focused army is the clear winner.  Dave introduces us to the newest faction in Horus Heresy…Daemons of the Ruinstorm!  Never a dull moment on the Cube…

Despair is in the air…time to review the new angry ghost book.  Although not thrilled with what we got, we still try to stay positive and look for solutions…which will be a challenge for sure.  That being said, Brendan talks about a unit that he feels is a huge mistake…listen to find out which one!  Very fun rules change for Lady O…she is nigh near unkillable and may be the only unit you still have on the table at the end of some games!  In Liber Nordtrumus, Dave talks us through the new Liber Militia…a free download for Horus Heresy that has units that can include Beastmen!  Speaking of Dave, be sure to listen all the way to the end of Show Close at Dan’s failed attempt to emulate our esteemed cohost!
