A Warhammer 40K & Age Of Sigmar Podcast
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. Not only is there a great surprise ending to Dan's tournament, but Dan also...
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...
We start our Adepticon 2024 experience with a movie night to see Dune Part II! Then it's off to the races for the guys...give a listen and see what stuffs we tried out over our four days in Schaumburg. Also,...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
This newest Battletome is a winner in our eyes! Balanced, flexible, great new models, and most importantly, a great update for this holdout book. We also do our Christmas gift exchange in the show open. Wishing everyone happy holidays, merry...
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...
Sorry for the delay in getting this one out to you...just so much stuff going on and fighting a beasty cold...but here it is! We really enjoyed reviewing this new book...there a many solid components that bring new options to...
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...
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...
More Cites madness...this time with our Duardin and Aelf friends! Some pretty fun tech in this part of the book, and just some fun units in general...gonna get me some Hydras! We didn't get to that pesky Battlescroll this go...
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...
Plenty here for everyone, no matter your game state. For those who have left the hobby, those currently playing and those looking to get back in. Lots of good conversation and thoughts regarding our hobby, as well as some ideas...
One of our favorite events, Midwest Meltdown, is back in business, and Brendan is back with us to help recap a really enjoyable time! Let's just say the boys were both very successful, each in their own unique way. Also,...
The beginning of another Age of Sigmar narrative book series...Dawnbringers Book 1 - Harbingers. Solid story with a few surprises, and some very interesting rules for the four Regiments of Renown. I am joined by Khorne Lord Dave who has...
It's that time of year...another Handbook! We are joined by our dear friend Tyler Emerson to help us wade through the rule set we will be living with for the next 12 months. Very importantly, we have an announcement about...

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. Not to be deterred of course, our man Brendan goes all in...
The bone creeps are back, and they are looking to harvest YOU! Quite the upgrade for Katakros and his crew...lots and lots of toys to make this a book to be reckoned with. The usual shenanigans, including an actual complaint...
The gangs all here! So many great friends gathered before and during a great weekend of Sigmar dice rolling. Waffles, Chinese food and "the 2-3 club" were all part of a great weekend and event hosted by our friends at...
Temptation abounds in the Hedonites Battletome! The disciples of Slaanesh won't make it easy on their opponents...choose, but choose wisely! Mortal wounds flow from these pages. Yeah, I'm really looking forward to seeing this army across the board from me. ...
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! Needless to say, what would a review of this...
Brendan's exhausted, and I'm still Dan...but we had a great time at ACon this year! A busy four days to be sure, especially for Brendan who once again ran the Sigmar GT. Dan finally stepped into the TO arena and...
The fleet has arrived! The boaty boys of the Mortal Realms are on time and on target with their new Battletome! Another solid book with plenty of commentary and opinions to go along for the ride. In This Or That,...
Gitz got good!!! Some very significant changes in this new tome...Da Moon, Heroes, Heroic Actions, Hordes, Enhancements...and SQUIGS! Man, did Squigs get way too scary! All this yes, but still a fun book with a myriad of ways to get...
Goatmen, Monsters, Ogres (sort of)...all in the new Beasts of Chaos Battletome! This army is a sentimental favorite of Brendan's...it was his Warhammer Fantasy army. Lots of moving parts here, but great reward to be had by those willing to...
Despite a flooding incident at the Dan home, Tyler Emerson joins us to talk about all things General's Handbook! We do take a fair amount of time to dig into the question...to include or not include Battletome Tactics in events? ...

Our review of the "unofficial" Slaves To Darkness Battletome is ready to roll! Fresh from the box (along with some great minis), this book is a hefty collection of rules, warscrolls and options. So many moving parts...like being a kid...
Time to do some eatin' with those hungry hungry Ogors! We break the book down into its two essential components; Gutbusters and Beastclaw Raiders. Also, some commentary on points adjustments is provided to give a different perspective on the Battletome. ...
Giants are back in 3.0 style and we take a look at their Battletome which has refreshingly few Warscrolls. In Whispers, we recap two event that we attended...the first was Fall Rubicon, the other RockCon. Also, Brendan kicks off Emperor...

The Lumineth are back for another go...and this book seems much more of a positive experience for both Lumineth players and their opponents. Subfactions in this tome allow Aelf players to take the same army and play several different ways. ...
Time for a change...for real! Not only are we able to review a Battletome again, but it's the Lord of Change himself we are looking at! We talk through 3rd Edition's latest Battletome, and discuss our overall thoughts on the...
From the Big Uns' to humble Battleline...we take a bit more competitive look at pure Battleline units in this episode. Most certainly less hot take opinions (Dan IS crazy) compared to our less than serious last episode, but the discussion...
Let's not be so serious about playing Age of Sigmar, and take a totally biased look at some of the biggest, most iconic models in the game. We pick one model from each faction, and give it some grades for...
We take some time for a bit of introspection in this episode...asking the question of why we play the game of Sigmar. Not only the game, but all the parts and pieces that are part of the hobby. We even...

We welcome back our good friend Tyler Emerson to help us break down the newest iteration of the General's Handbook. I have to say that one of my favorite parts of the show is during our discussion of the Endless...

The Daughters Of Khaine have come to play...and they play rough! I have a fondness for this faction as it was my first serious competitive army, taken to many events. It is good to see this iteration (the 3rd) for...
Road trip time! We travelled to Springfield Missouri for Vault Wars 2022 and had a blast! Lots of miscasts, pigs, close games...and throwed rolls! Good times had by all. We didn't forget our friend the Mourngul, so he gets his...
