The Cubic Shenanigans Podcast

Four days of an alternate reality…known better as Adepticon!  The crew is all here, and we recap our days at this great event.  Dave brings us some Heresy lore recs in Liber, and Brendan runs us through the April Battlescroll.  Lots going on…plenty of great listening.  Congratulations to all of our friends who won awards this year, as well as to Brendan and his team for another incredible creation!  Also, one of the best parts of Adepticon is seeing friends, some of which we have not seen for literally years!  Hope everyone who made it had a great time, and that those listeners who were unable to join us are able to make the trip next year.  Also, we are working on Dave’s sound quality…

If you’ve got the bones, they are happy to do business…Ossiarch Bonereapers Battletome review time!  Despite some issues, mostly related to points, this book has some interesting back-of-the-house choices, including scary Manifestations and two solid Armies of Renown.  Dan despises those Crawlers…leave my trees alone!  Dave was unable to join us…he was hard at work hosting the Universe of Armoured Fighting Vehicles Regional Series.  He will of course be joining us for the ACon Recap in Episode 186.  Speaking of Adepticon, safe travels to all those heading to Milwaukee in the next several days.

Smoke and mirrors, illusions & fate…all parts of the grand plans of the master of change!  We really enjoyed the entirely new way this army will play.  We try to unravel the complex interactions of the new rule set, as well as some of the crazy potential for silliness…for you, not your opponent!  A great book in our opinion…

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.
