The Cubic Shenanigans Podcast

There is a bunch of stuff going on for the Cube Crew!  We talk first about our hobby plans for the next few months (decisions, decisions) and it’s going to be a lot of back and forth for Dan.  Next we talk about our local gaming activities over the next few month…again, lots of different choices and priorities…only so much time for hobby and gaming.  Finally, and this will be brief, we talk about “travel” plans for events that are a bit more of a drive.  Dan provides a preview into his RockCon shenanigans, and Dave talks Heresy…we got an FAQ and the new Journal Tactica has Tzeentch daemons…Screamers baby!

It’s all Bigs and Littles time as we review the new Sons of Behemat Battletome.  Very mixed reaction to this one…overall needs some help and not a lot of interest among the crew.  There were some bright spots though…so give it a listen and decide for yourselves.  We also have fun with event recaps.  Dave and Dan went to Dragonfall, where Dave ran and Dan played in Horus Heresy events.  Brendan and Dan made it to PantsCon and it was a great time with great friends just playing games and hanging out.  Be sure to listen to This or That, were Brendan is rejected (NOT) for his heretical baseball opinions!

The chonky Ogors are back with a great new Battletome!  This book is much more synergystic, with the ability to build Ogor armies from across all three subfactions.  A great refresh for a classic Sigmar faction.  Of course, Dan wasn’t too hot on this book until he dived into it with Brendan and Dave…now it’s all Gluttons and Cav!  Dave talks to us about the unique way terrain works in Horus heresy, and of course, of the usual shenanigans.

The crew is back together just in time for some Slaanesh fun!  A pile of heroes and a few solid units, but the two Armies of Renown hit it out of the ballpark!  Whether it’s the Twins or Sigvald, both Armies provide the potential for a great gaming experience that will drive your opponents crazy…laughter also guaranteed.  Dave is also back with yet another way to play Heresy…Zone Mortalis.  Be aware that Dan had to reign in his cohosts during This or That…otherwise, we would be well on our way to becoming another sports podcast (LOLOL).

WE ARE BACK!  Dan is in full recovery mode after his knee replacement, and the guys have some catching up to do!  We talk Summer Battlescroll and the GHB 26-27.   Dave and Dan also discuss the renewed interest in “skirmish” games and provide some commentary based on our own interest and experiences.  Brendan was unable to join us but provided a bundle of notes that ensure he is with us in spirit at the least.  Just great to be back on speaker and podcasting again!

Time for a walk in the woods…a Sylvaneth Battletome redux.  This could also be considered podcast comfort food for Dan & Brendan since we both enjoy this army so much.  We are also joined by cohost Dave, not for Liber Nordsturmus, but for a fun reaction to the Friday Preview from the week before.  A great variety of reveals, mostly hits, a few misses.  Of course, the usual podcast fare for our listeners as well.  We will be discussing the new GHB and the Summer Battlescroll in the next episode…my poor SpiteRevs!  Maybe even some Scourge of Aqshy discussion if time allows.

Yes, Cogforts are cool…Dan has been enlightened.  As for the rest of the Cities Battletome, another solid delivery.  We really enjoyed discussing all aspects of this tome, from Traits to Artifacts to Units to Armies/Regiments of Renown.  However, Brendan warns that this is a very complex book that will take a lot of study and practice to get the most out of.  Conversely, very rewarding and powerful once mastered.  Watch out for those perpetually charging Cavaliers!  Dave is back as well to discuss the desert planet of Tallarn and its part in the Horus heresy.  Also, be sure to give a listen to a brief announcement about the podcast in Show Close.

You need to add a widget, row, or prebuilt layout before you’ll see anything here. 🙂 The long lost Elven relic has been found…we finally review the Lumineth Realm Lords Battletome! Those Runes are quite the puzzle to solve, but they are powerful for sure. Talk about magic…almost every Hero in this book is a wizard! A solid book, but not for the beginner…those seeking a challenge will certainly be rewarded when they figure this one out. We also briefly discuss the “stand on rectangles” change to objective rules in 40K and how it may impact those of us who hobby in the Mortal Realms.

Amid the sea of Cogfort madness, there is an island of calm…Dave and Dan are going to talk about miniatures games that are not Sigmar!  Say it isn’t so!  We thought it would be refreshing and provide a bit of perspective to deep dive some of the “other” games we play.   How to get started?  How do turns work?  How does shooting and combat work?  How do you win?  We hope you enjoy the change of pace as much as we did…Kill Team rocks!  In Liber, Dave talks us through Heresy Assassins.  By the way, don’t forget to drop us a note and tell us which is your favorite sound clip on the show!

Another awesome tome!  So many moving parts for these glass cannons with knives, but when they all come together, most frightening!  A Shadow Queen that can be resurrected, a manifestation that removes Ward Saves…and there’s more.  Like the Treelord Ancient in the last episode, Brendan again gives Dan pause in his excitement for a Hero in this book…what could it be?  The big question…will Dan be throwing down with a four Shrine list…and a large side order of Blood Hags with that please!
