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…

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 o…

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 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…

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 o…

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 quic…

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……

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…

We took all of the Warhammer Community (WarComm) 4th edition rules articles and present them to you in convenient podcast form. Whether you have been following closely or have just been too busy in the real world, this should catch you up. We also do quick looks at the Darkoath Warscrolls, all four of them, and also a short commentary on the Skaven…

After a bit of a hiatus, we return with double trouble as Brendan & I head to separate events…Brewsky in Michigan and Spring Rubicon in Wisconsin. Not only is there a great surprise ending to Dan’s tournament, but Dan also reveals his Mystery Army…hold on to your seats. A fun episode to record, and we’re sure a great listen. Thanks as always for jo…

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?Thanks as always for joining us. Yo…

We start our Adepticon 2024 experience with a movie night to see Dune Part II!

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 putt…

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 …

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 …

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 migh…

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,…

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.Thanks as always for joining u…

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…

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 messe…

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, t…

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 si…

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!Thanks as always for joining us. Your support is truly appreciated.2:19 Whispers From…
  continue reading
 
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 Episo…

Plenty here for everyone, no matter your game state. For those who have left the hobby, those currently playing and those looking to get back in. Lots of good conversation and thoughts regarding our hobby, as well as some ideas to encourage you to play the game your way.Thanks as always for joining us. Your support is truly appreciated.1:58 Whisper…

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!Thanks as always for joinin…

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 …

It's that time of year...another Handbook! We are joined by our dear friend Tyler Emerson to help us wade through the rule set we will be living with for the next 12 months. Very importantly, we have an announcement about the future of the show in Show Close (NO bad news!)...be sure to stop by and give it a listen. I am also happy that I was able t…

Lizards, dinosaurs, spaceships, and yes...Saurus Jars! What is a Saurus Jar you may ask? Listen to our review of the new Battletome to find out! We see piles and piles of moral wounds in your future!Thanks as always for joining us.

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 progno…
  continue reading
 
The bone creeps are back, and they are looking to harvest YOU! Quite the upgrade for Katakros and his crew...lots and lots of toys to make this a book to be reckoned with. The usual shenanigans, including an actual complaint from a listener in Show Close Q & A! Plenty of stuffs for your listening enjoyment...jump right in.Thanks as always for joini…

The gangs all here! So many great friends gathered before and during a great weekend of Sigmar dice rolling. Waffles, Chinese food and "the 2-3 club" were all part of a great weekend and event hosted by our friends at The Die Is Cast. At least those Rats are history..thanks for your hospitality Brendan Man!Thanks as always for joining us. Your supp…

Temptation abounds in the Hedonites Battletome! The disciples of Slaanesh won't make it easy on their opponents...choose, but choose wisely! Mortal wounds flow from these pages. Yeah, I'm really looking forward to seeing this army across the board from me. But hope remains, as we discuss a few ways to deal with the forces of the Dark Prince in our …

Blood for the Blood God, Skulls for the Skull Throne! After way too long, the Blade of Khorne Battletome has been brought into the modern world...and what a book it is! Needless to say, what would a review of this Tome be without the Juggernaut King himself, Dave Nordstrom! Lots of glow ups in this book, and the Blood Tithe Table is crazy good. Dae…
  continue reading
 
Brendan's exhausted, and I'm still Dan...but we had a great time at ACon this year! A busy four days to be sure, especially for Brendan who once again ran the Sigmar GT. Dan finally stepped into the TO arena and ran Sigmar Youngbloods! Plenty of stories to tell, and all the time you need to listen to them. Enjoy.Thanks as always for joining us. You…

The fleet has arrived! The boaty boys of the Mortal Realms are on time and on target with their new Battletome! Another solid book with plenty of commentary and opinions to go along for the ride. In This Or That, don't miss Dan's completely insane pick for one of the 1st seeds in March Madness...he don't know nuthin! Remember that the lads recorded…
  continue reading
 
Gitz got good!!! Some very significant changes in this new tome...Da Moon, Heroes, Heroic Actions, Hordes, Enhancements...and SQUIGS! Man, did Squigs get way too scary! All this yes, but still a fun book with a myriad of ways to get these crazy fellas to the board. We are joined this episode by our good friend Nick McKenna, who is crazy about his G…
  continue reading
 
Goatmen, Monsters, Ogres (sort of)...all in the new Beasts of Chaos Battletome! This army is a sentimental favorite of Brendan's...it was his Warhammer Fantasy army. Lots of moving parts here, but great reward to be had by those willing to put in the time and figure out how everything works together. Great Endless Spells, solid Spell Lore...the who…
  continue reading
 
Despite a flooding incident at the Dan home, Tyler Emerson joins us to talk about all things General's Handbook! We do take a fair amount of time to dig into the question...to include or not include Battletome Tactics in events? We all felt this has enough of an impact on the community to talk both sides of the issue. Besides that, lots of other fu…

Happy New Year everyone! We're back after a bit of a holiday break, ready to roll! In this episode, we do a bit of catching up in Whispers and Scriptorium. We also take a quick look back at 2022, and then talk at length about our hopes for the coming year...including our thoughts on the future of the show (no worries, we aren't going anywhere!) and…

Our review of the "unofficial" Slaves To Darkness Battletome is ready to roll! Fresh from the box (along with some great minis), this book is a hefty collection of rules, warscrolls and options. So many moving parts...like being a kid in a candy store! Lovin' me some Theridons!! Our review is a long one, so buckle up and enjoy! Also, check out the …

Time to do some eatin' with those hungry hungry Ogors! We break the book down into its two essential components; Gutbusters and Beastclaw Raiders. Also, some commentary on points adjustments is provided to give a different perspective on the Battletome. All the usual craziness, and a great question in Show Close about that "two army rule" in Dan's …

Giants are back in 3.0 style and we take a look at their Battletome which has refreshingly few Warscrolls. In Whispers, we recap two event that we attended...the first was Fall Rubicon, the other RockCon. Also, Brendan kicks off Emperor Lies with a briefing of the Fall 2022 Battlescroll. Time stamps will be very helpful in this episode, so give the…

Been a while since the guys hit the road for an event, but here we are at Dragonfall 2022! Fun tales to be told...Brendan rocks the table as usual...Dan doesn't do so hot but has some great cinematic moments with Kurdoss! Lots of great folks were there, and time spent with friends (old and new) made this an even better weekend. Our thanks to Mark, …

The Lumineth are back for another go...and this book seems much more of a positive experience for both Lumineth players and their opponents. 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 Battlet…

Time for a change...for real! Not only are we able to review a Battletome again, but it's the Lord of Change himself we are looking at! We talk through 3rd Edition's latest Battletome, and discuss our overall thoughts on the book, as well as opinions about particular Warscrolls...my Screamers are back!!! The usual plethora of heroes that come with …
  continue reading
 
From the Big Uns' to humble Battleline...we take a bit more competitive look at pure Battleline units in this episode. Most certainly less hot take opinions (Dan IS crazy) compared to our less than serious last episode, but the discussion will still center on which choices make the most sense in terms of points and rules quality. We also received n…
  continue reading
 
Let's not be so serious about playing Age of Sigmar, and take a totally biased look at some of the biggest, most iconic models in the game. We pick one model from each faction, and give it some grades for things like resilience, model coolness, e.g. Just our opinions, as crazy as they might be! Plenty of pre-order info in Whispers, as well as some …
  continue reading
 
We take some time for a bit of introspection in this episode...asking the question of why we play the game of Sigmar. Not only the game, but all the parts and pieces that are part of the hobby. We even discuss the virtues of taking a break from it all! We are joined in this discussion by self-proclaimed fan boy Kenny Lull, who shares some great tho…

Allarielle has returned to the Mortal Realms, and we are ready to talk about her angry treefolk. Such a wonderful book with so many decision points...the possibilities are exciting to consider. We also have a bunch of Heresy pre-order to reveal, and we talk about the possible choices for our next Monster hobby projects in Show Close Q & A. Don't fo…
