It’s a great time to be a Sigmar player!  The new GHB, including new battle tactics rules and battle plans, is a real refresh for the game.  From army building to rolling dice, the game seems more dynamic, more fun and more interesting.  Cohost Dave joins us this episode, and we each pick a couple of tactics and battle plans to review in detail…a bit of theatre of the mind for those battle plan reviews to be sure!  Really looking forward to giving this new rules set a go.  We also spend a moment finishing off the last two Scourge of Gyrhan drops (SYLVANETH!) and do a Battlescroll “flyover” as well.

As we talk through the latest drop of Scourge of Ghyran, it is good, bad and ugly this go around.  Rotigus is a clear favorite of the guys, and some other gems in this new content are worthy of a look.  For us, it is again new options that hopefully will motivate folks to try some creative list building and refresh what we’re seeing on the table.  Please note that my Sylvaneth dropped the day after we recorded, and I am quite happy with it…we will discuss briefly in Episode 169.  Also exciting that the new GHB and gear went on preorder this weekend, as well as the new “season” for Spearhead!

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.

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.  Plenty of other stuffs as well…a full up Whispers and Brendan shouts out a cooking show in Scriptorium…something for everyone!

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 Spring Battlescroll (yawn!).

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 Regiment of Renown has lots of potential.  Safe travels to those heading to Adepticon this week…so grateful to have it in my hometown this year!

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 thoughts on planning paint and basing projects.  For some, these ideas may already be part of your hobby…we’re hoping there will be something for hobbyists of all levels.  Also, if you’ve listened to Verminslayer, please provide your thoughts…I shared my honest review in Scriptorium.

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 acknowledge that many of us find interest in other places as part of our hobby and gaming experience.  That all being said, there is plenty of laughter and merriment in this episode, so listen in and have a great time with us!

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 miniature gaming systems…I thought it would be interesting to talk about this a bit.  Otherwise, all the regular kit.  Apologies to dear friend Kenny…for some reason I did not mention Kings of War which I know is a passion of his…so add it to the list of other games systems in our discussion!

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 of renown might be showing up a bit more often now…faster than you think and those Ardboyz are just chonky!
