We start out with a Horus Heresy rules breakdown (Tactical Statuses) and then a Dragonfall Recap by two guys who didn’t even play in the event…but trust me, we were out and about the entire weekend. Our main topic this go is a Sigmar rules critique and some hot takes…we hope our thoughts and rules choices create some discussion. Rest assured we still enjoy the game, just that once in a while it’s good to dig down a bit and express our opinions. And most importantly, #freebrendanmelnick!

Something here for just about everyone. Quite a bit more excited about this Battletome than the last one…Dan might be playing “how to train your (zombie) dragon” in the near future! Strong traits, warscrolls, artifacts, lores…the whole package with several ways to play. One for two with the Armies of Renown, and the knight focused army is the clear winner. Dave introduces us to the newest faction in Horus Heresy…Daemons of the Ruinstorm! Never a dull moment on the Cube…

That being said, Brendan talks about a unit that he feels is a huge mistake…listen to find out which one!

While Brendan if off doing stuff that needs doing, Dave and I take you on a journey through the clouds with everyone's favorite flying Duardin. Neither of us was excited to review this book, but the more we dived in, the more we enjoyed it. By the end of the review, we agreed that this is a solid, if inconsistent, book. One of the Regiments of Renown was of interest to all three of us, and we'll see how many times it appears in the wild. In Liber Nordtrumus, Dave walks us through the non-S...

More than a refresh, this one seems to be a ground up reimagining. Very unique Battle Traits, some new heroes and a sprinkling of great abilities throughout the book. Bloodthirsty Shiver, one of the new Regiments of Renown, is Dan's favorite of the book. Dave joins us for the next installment of Liber Nordstrumus (formerly Heresy Hangout) to discuss some short lived controversy, also known as the Drop Site Rules Massacre, and some recommendations regarding getting started with product.

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!

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 hobbyists of all levels. Also, if you've listened to Verminslayer, pleas...

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 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!

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.

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).
