As we talk through the latest drop of Scourge of Ghyran, it is good, bad and ugly this go around. Rotigus is a clear favorite of the guys, and some other gems in this new content are worthy of a look. For us, it is again new options that hopefully will motivate folks to try some creative list building and refresh what we’re seeing on the table. Please note that my Sylvaneth dropped the day after we recorded, and I am quite happy with it…we will discuss briefly in Episode 169. Also exciting that ...

Just a few weeks ago we were asking where all of the promised Battletomes were…now it’s raining content! Scourge of Gyrhan is here, and there is plenty to talk about. We also get a peek at the changes to All-Out Attack & Defense, and Dan scores a Tactics bullseye! Lots of great stuff…join us for a solid listen. Thanks as always for joining us. Your support is truly appreciated. 1:56 Whispers From The Warp 16:30 The Emperor Lies 16:30 Dan Scores A Tactics Bullseye & A GHB Preview 26:52 Scourge...

Vampires in the house…the Soulblight Gravelords Battletome review is live! Lots (and lots) of heroes and some pretty solid units. A solid trio of manifestations and a couple of interesting Armies of Renown top off our discussion of the book. Plenty of other stuffs as well…a full up Whispers and Brendan shouts out a cooking show in Scriptorium…something for everyone! Thanks as always for joining us. Your support is truly appreciated. 2:26 Whispers From The Warp 28: 22 The Emperor Lies 28:22 I W...

Welcome to Milwaukee and Adepticon 2025! We had a blast and very different experiences over our four days there. So many good things to say, so many great changes. Brendan took home a boat load of medals and Dan met one of his favorite GW authors! Sigmar Teams, Youngbloods, paint judging and The Pit…lots of gaming goodness. Oh, and there is a Spring Battlescroll (yawn!). Thanks as always for joining us. Your support is truly appreciated. 1:0 Whispers From The Warp 13:37 The Emperor Lies 13:37 ...

There’s plenty of stuff in the new Gloomspite Gitz Battletome…Gitz (and Squigs), Trolls, Spiders, and something new…lots of wolves! There are so many moving parts here and so many combinations of units that the book can seem a bit overwhelming. While we found the Armies of Renown to be watered down versions of the rest of the book, the new Gitmob Regiment of Renown has lots of potential. Safe travels to those heading to Adepticon this week…so grateful to have it in my hometown this year! Thanks...

Thought we would tackle something that many Sigmar players think about…how do I deal with those units that are just a pain in the butt? Dan calls out a unit, and Brendan gives us some rules context then offers some thoughts on ways to deal with these problems. Remember, some problems may not have good solutions! We also take some time to offer our thoughts on planning paint and basing projects. For some, these ideas may already be part of your hobby…we’re hoping there will be something for hobby...

Cohost Dave and I wander into the outlands of our hobby and gaming experience…we talk small events, hobby table stuffs and yes, a bit more discussion of the world outside of the Mortal Realms. Rest assured that continued discussion of other gaming systems is not indicative of moving our focus from Age of Sigmar. We do, however, feel we need to acknowledge that many of us find interest in other places as part of our hobby and gaming experience. That all being said, there is plenty of laughter and...

Lots and lots of dice have been rolled recently by The Cube crew…mostly Brendan. Event recaps with LOTS of crazy happenings…very enjoyable. But first, Dan takes us to a land that is not Games Workshop, where miniature games flourish and folks have a great time! So many listeners are, or will soon be, engaged with very unique, non-Warhammer miniature gaming systems…I thought it would be interesting to talk about this a bit. Otherwise, all the regular kit. Apologies to dear friend Kenny…for some r...

Whoa…two factions in one battletome! Ironjawz and Kruleboyz bringing the hurt and the sneakiness. Not too excited for this one except for the beefy Spearhead. That being said, we Cube this bad boy in our usual way and have a great time doing it. The “big pig” army of renown in the app (it’s not in the book) looks pretty fun too. That Ironjawz army of renown might be showing up a bit more often now…faster than you think and those Ardboyz are just chonky! Thanks as always for joining us. Your sup...

The first show of 2025…Happy New Year! It appears that GDub actually listened to the community as the December ’24 Battlescroll has some meaningful changes. There is a ton of stuff in this document, and we tried to get to the most impactful changes. Right at the start there are important changes to the Seasonal Rules. Lots of other faction specific updates as well. Not a long show, but an important one. By the way…enjoy this relatively short episode…another Battletome incoming next episode…you k...

Having some fun in the spirit of the season…a look back at 2024, Cube style…including our annual Christmas gift exchange. Cohost Dave joins Dan & Brendan for a show filled with laughs and plenty of surprises. Just a heads up…Dave is not actually recording with us and will be speaking in the 3rd person…what?! Thanks to everyone for making this a great year for the show. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and here’s hoping you have a wonderful holiday season with friends and family. Thanks as always...

Belakor and the crew are back…time to review the new Slaves To Darkness Battletome! Had a good time with this one. I finished with a different opinion than when we started except…Darkoath still doesn’t feel right. That being said, my Darkorth Spearhead arrived as I was editing the show, and its a beauty! Also a brief event recap to fill things out. Thanks as always for joining us. Your support is truly appreciated. 1:26 Whispers From The Warp 18:34 The Emperor Lies 18:34 Forming The Phalanx Ev...

Well that was nice…this episode is about two hours shorter than the last two! That being said, time for us to get back to something we haven’t done in a while…event recaps. Brendan heads to Indy for BolterCon, and I head south to Chicago for my first Holy Havoc. What a blast! All the normal kit as well…enjoy an episode that you can listen to on just about a round trip commute! Thanks as always for joining us. Your support is truly appreciated. 2:13 Whispers From The Warp 12:54 The Emperor Lies...

Two episodes in one…we review the new Stormcast battletome and welcome back our great friend Tyler Emerson! I thought the last episode was long…naaah. Plenty of time stamps to help you take this one in small bites…please do so. Maybe with all the content in the new books, this may be more the norm than the exception. Either way, plenty of listening fun…be SURE not to skip Show Close this episode…a special treat awaits your listening pleasure (based on Q & A from a listener). Thanks as always fo...

Whew…this is along one…but don’t worry…we have you covered with time stamps! Our first 4th Ed Battletome review…Skaven! Brendan has returned and Dave joins us for a walk though of this beasty tome, including two Armies and two Regiments of Renown. Some pretty scary shooting units in this book, and one of the Armies of Renown is a contender for “most fun.” Take this one in small bites and enjoy! Thanks as always for joining us. Your support is truly appreciated. 2:46 Whispers From The Warp 25:5...

Yes, pun intended in the title…just couldn’t help myself! The Lord of Change and his minions are here to change the fate of the Mortal Realms, and there are many tools in this particular toolbox. Bucket loads of casting, two spell lores and lots of interesting units. Tzeentch is certainly on track to push its way to the S Tier in the meta. Of course, we update you on Brendan’s status, and Dave shares an interesting find in Whispers. Lots of good stuff to make for an interesting listen. Thanks a...

It’s time to give Khorne his due and dive into the Blades of Khorne Index. Still so many heroes! Bloodthirsters are looking beasty as hell with that shiny new ward save, but there are so many ways to play this index. Mortals have fun toys, the prayer lore is strong and daemons still come to the fight aching to cover themselves in the blood of their enemies. Dan finishes his Brendan assigned homework in This or That, where Dave continues to ask the craziest (and fun) questions. Give it a listen f...

Close the refrigerator door…Mawtribes are in town and they are HUNGRY! Despite what you may have seen about Ogors in 4th, there is a lot more to talk about than just Gutbusters. We discuss the many other aspects of this index that can still make it fun to play. Things are certainly different, but Monster Trucks are still a thing. Leadbelchers and other shooty goodness can still be fun to play. Give us a listen and find out about the whole index… Thanks as always for joining us. Your support is ...

We made it…Epis0de 150! What a ride! Thanks to so many people and all of you listeners for making it possible. That being said, we still have a show to do, and we are going hot with our review of the Fyreslayers Index. Dan also gives us a look back at his recent Spearhead event, Da Pointy End, which he totally enjoyed. By the way, we talked about but forgot to mention the name of the Warscroll after the Grimwrath Berzerker but before the Doomseeker…it is the Auric Flamekeeper. This is probably b...

Time for some Tree People love! After a couple weeks of doing some homework and actually spending time with the index, Dan has a very different opinion about Sylvaneth. Hopeful is the word we would use. Join us as we dive into our first index review of Sigmar 4.0! We also give a bit of time to discussing the seasonal rules in the General’s Handbook 24-25. Strap in for a fun ride into the realm of the Everqueen! Thanks as always for joining us. Your support is truly appreciated. 2:47 Whispers F...

This episode is chocked full of stuff! Let’s start with BoDCon…easily the best three days of non-miniature gaming in years! Brendan also recalls his ghosty tidal wave of death at Carnage…Nighthaunt sounds beyond broken… rejoice if Lady O is your fav! Also, our man Dave is back and is now officially a “cohost”! Aaaaand, we provide index commentary on three factions…Slaves to Darkness, Nighthaunt (sick!) and Flesh-Eater Courts…be sure to check time stamps for specific factions. Thanks as always f...

Brendan returns in time for us to team up for a discussion of Sigmar 4th Edition Core Rules…Cube style. Less focus on the specifics, more focus on understanding how the new rule set works and our thoughts and opinions about them. There is a lot to be excited about, and very few things that leave us asking why. We also start Emperor Lies with a quick roundup of the 4th Ed release schedule. Thanks as always for joining us. Your support is truly appreciated. 1:50 Whispers From The Warp 12:31 The ...

Dave is back to assist in another round of Sigmar 4th Edition faction foci! By the time 4th drops in mid-July, we will have covered about 75% of the factions. As we did last time, we mix of bit of levity in with the raw information to keep things interesting. Please be aware, as before, that until the indexes drop, this information is sans context…so enjoy our commentary with a teaspoon of salt! Thanks as always for joining us. Your support is truly appreciated. 1:51 Whispers From The Warp 17:...

Dave is back as cohost for this episode, as we take a look at the first batch of Faction Foci for Sigmar 4th edition. We will continue to stress that, until Index drops, this information is sans context…so enjoy our commentary with a teaspoon of salt! Be sure to head over to the very end of the show…Dave knocks it out of the ballpark…listeners will know what that means. Enjoy! Thanks as always for joining us. Your support is truly appreciated. 3:26 Whispers From The Warp 23:46 The Emperor Lies...
