We are calling this a marathon for a very good reason...it is our longest episode to date! We appreciate your patience in advance as we dive into this voluminous tome...there is so much to talk about here. We also express some opinions that are contrary to what is out there right now, but it's important to look at a book like this with fresh eyes. Brendan provides some important updates for Brew City Brawl, and be sure to listen to the Show Close as we discuss our plans for the Sigmar 3.0 release on July 3.

We circle around and pick up on the Broken Realms tome we skipped...Broken Realms - Teclis. A usual with these books, a little something for everybody...Mortals, death, disease and Aelves! We also give Dan a few minutes to talk about his decision to leave a piece of his hobby legacy behind...hmmm? Next up...Episode 75, and VAMPERS!

Here we go with another Broken Realms tome...this one is a true winner...especially in my book!  We start with a look at Belakor and his Legion, followed by a great time with a treasure trove of new Nighthaunt tools.  I am really looking forward to giving some of this stuff a go on the table.  We then move into the other factions that received some goodies in the book.  Our coverage of Warhammer Fest starts on Tuesday, since we wanted to save the best for last...Monday was Kragnos and Soulblight!  We took a guess at Saturday while we were recording (we recorded Saturday from 10am until about 1pm), and Brendan called it with the first look at Sigmar 3.0.  I came in a close second (and a day early) with my prediction of Soulblight preorders...at least I got the date right (May 15)!

So we recorded this episode TWICE...once yesterday, and again today!  Same show, different day!  Despite the anger of the Machine Spirits, we finally got the episode to press, and are happy to bring you our first tournament/event recap in a VERY long time...Nodepticon 2021!  Brendan put together a great event, and we will be providing our recounting of battles won and lost, as well as commentary of the event in general, including awards.  We also spend a bit of time reviewing Cursed City Warscrolls, which will probably not be seen much on competitive tables, but may well be a popular choice in the narrative scene.  Most importantly, a SPOILER ALERT for Scriptorium, as we will be revealing the identity of the Yellow King!  We also go out of character and rant a bit in the early moments of Whispers.

We welcome back our friend Brice to talk about playing Off Meta armies in Sigmar.  We start with a recap of the current state of the Sigmar meta, and then Brendan leads a discussion of what matters when you decide to play armies that are not winning popularity contests.  Brice has always enjoyed playing off meta, and his perspective and experience help guide the conversation.  This episode is a bit of a short one, but packed with useful ideas and lively discussion.  We get an  update on the status of the 20,00 point Brenda vs Brice mega game in the Show Close...and...Episode 72 will be a review of Cursed City (game, models and warscrolls) as well as a SUPRISE segment!  Wonder what it could be?!

The blood thirsty Lords of the Grave are in the pipe... five by five!  What an amazing preview, with so many fine models, with more to surely come.  We also got a "mystery" Mortal Realms story, and some 40K thrown in for good measure.  Our main discussion is thoughts we have about what we would like to see in Sigmar 3.0...whenever that gets here.  Dan, what are you thinking?!  Brendan tries to keep me on the true path by serving generous portions of sanity checks.  But agree or disagree, we had a great time throwing ideas around and talking about our favorite gaming system.  Finally, Dan throws down a prediction of who the ominous presence know as the Yellow King (or King in Yellow) might be.

Another Battletome to review, and this one is bigger than the last!  We pull no punches on this one...truly the good, the bad, and the ugly.  It is still an interesting book, and we find plenty to enjoy, with a few questionable entries in between.  But don't take my word for it.  Dive in and find out what we have to say!  We also have a rather large new release section in Scriptorium...Black Library has been very busy in the last several weeks.  Give it a listen and see if you can find something of interest.

We are excited to have a full length battletome to deep dive...it has been a while!  We walk you through the Daughters of Khaine 2021 Battletome, and there is plenty here to talk about.  This review will be of value to both experienced and newly minted Daughters players, as we comment on all of the updates and give our opinions about what this book has delivered to the tabletop.  We also spend some time in Whispers going over the GDub Mortal Realms Preview from February 20...with a separate section focused on Cursed City!  A long episode for sure, but plenty worth listening to!

Yep, we're gonna be talkin' 40K/Heresy books & audio today with our returning guest BOD Father Troy....but don't run off Sigmar fans! Brendan still gives us his thoughts on the lastest Sigmar FAQ, and there is plenty of discussion of other Sigmar topics in Whispers. That being said, our Grimdark Primer should still have something that will create a bit of interest for most of you, so dive in and give it a try. By the way, stick around for the post-Show Close outtake...sure to make you smile!

We start the episode with a discussion of the GW Preview from a few days ago...the Direchasm Vampires and Cursed City look awesome! Then Brendan walks us through a great resource for all of you Sigmar players...a checklist for improving your competitive game. He provides many specific ideas, as well as general thoughts on upping your game. We have included a link to the notes/document he used for our discussion. Episode 67 will see the return of BODFather Troy to the show, and a primer for 40K reading/listening...even for those of you who hide in the 40K shadows!

The new year is off to a promising start. We hope you and yours are safe and healthy.
