The Cubic Shenanigans Podcast

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 seller during Scriptorium, and have included the link to a review in the notes.  For clarification, this is an Ebay style book seller site, and as always, pay special attention to seller ratings and shipping costs.   I have been using the same seller since finding the site a while ago, and have been satisfied with his service.  Hope you find this info helpful…feedback please.

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 Christmas and a happy New Year!  Looking forward to another great year in 2024.

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 off table.  We also decided to do a bit of list tech, which we haven’t for a LONG time, because we are so excited about Belthanos.  A couple of interesting lists, which may, or may not be competitive…we don’t care!  Will just be fun to see him on the table and doin’ his stuff!

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 game, not the least which is Belthanos the new Sylvaneth hero.  Lovin’ the Ionus Warscroll, the Mawpit is not to be messed with, and the new Fyreslayer figs look great, despite a disappointing Army of Renown (unless you’re fighting monsters).  Plenty to talk about.

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 planted…but both had a great time and a surprise award for one of them.  We also talk about the Dawnbringers II FAQ, tamping down some Giant and KO foolishness.  Already lots of excitement at The Cube for the new Sylvaneth hero, which we will discuss in detail next episode.

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 about…and rightly so.    We were also able to get around to commenting on the Fall Battlescroll…not many changes, but some significant ones.  Plenty of good listening this go around.

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 around…that’s what Episode 131 is for!

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 will circle around to Duardin and Aelf stuffs in Episode 130.  We also plan on getting to the Fall Battlescroll in Episode 130.  We will, as always, do our best to get the next installment out to you as soon as possible…as life and adventuring allow.

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, some pretty big hobby news to share with you in Whispers.  A great show…light it up and give it a go!
