The Cubic Shenanigans PodcastSigmar Problem Solvers & Some Hobby Chat – Episode 163Thought 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?

Bloodthirsters are looking beasty as hell with that shiny new ward save, but there are so many ways to play this index.

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.

We all felt this has enough of an impact on the community to talk both sides of the issue. Besides that, lots of other fun stuff in this Handbook, especially Artefacts and Command Traits...even a couple of "no way" Battle Plans. A great listen for everyone.

Subfactions in this tome allow Aelf players to take the same army and play several different ways. That being said, Lumienth will still be a challenging opponent when they show up at the table. A great Battletome and we enjoyed walking though it. Be sure to listen to our hobby segment in Whispers From The Warp, when Brendan announces his Dragonfall army, surprising many of us!

We are joined in this discussion by self-proclaimed fan boy Kenny Lull, who shares some great thoughts.
