The Cubic Shenanigans Podcast

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 drops since, this discussion actually holds up pretty well...what do you think?

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, a request for some tech assistance from Dan...

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 the question bank we used to determine winners. We hope you have as much fun listening as we did putting this together! Thanks as always for joining us.

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 IV has some strong Regiments of Renown, but also a hero in search of an army...will she find a home for her powerful Warscroll? Dan also addresses but does not answer questions about his "mystery army." Join us for a great show! Thanks as always for joining us.

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 busy 2024, with about 15 events (so far) that folks may have an interest in, and we discuss how we plan to participate. Dan waxes eloquent in Scriptorium about the "Big Three" of the WWII series...Band of Brothers, The Pacific and the in progress Masters of the Air. Enjoy. Thanks as always for joining us.

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 building in our hobby is that the variations are practically limitless, but we hope these lists might provide a foundation for something folks might actually take to a table for some dice rolling. Thanks as always for joining us.

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! Thanks as always for joining us.

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. Thanks as always for joining us.

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. Thanks as always for joining us.

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. Thanks as always for joining us.

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!

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.

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 stepped up to fill in for Brendan...who is on strike in support of Podcasters Local 414...not! He's just getting settled in at his new base camp, and should be back in the podcasting booth for Episode 127. Fun hanging out with Dave, as always, and a great show for you!

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 with the foolishness as he recaps his KC Open experience...260 Zombies...did he really do that? You bet he did! Also a bit of unintentional prognostication in This Or That...what do we want to see in the next GHB? A reminder that we recorded this before the preview for the new book...woohoo!
