Stunning Diorama For WYSIWYG Games' Plant of the Apes
WYSIWYG Games has an awesome diorama, created by the super talented, Dave Taylor. If this doesn't get you pumped to play the Planet of the Apes Miniatures Board Game, I don't know what will.
Always Players For Space Hulk
There's never a lack of players for Space Hulk. There's just something about playing on such a big board that draws you into the game!
Even More Awesomeness From The Crystal Brush Cases
I'm truly speechless. Every time you think you couldn't possibly see anything better in the cases, you do! I can't wait for the ceremony to find out who's masterpieces are who's.

Wouldn't Be Adepticon Without Epic Battles
Just like more is more, sometimes bigger is better, like these epic battles that have become tradition at Adepticon.
Bloodbowl Games In Full Force
The second floor of the convention center is full of even more gaming. While roaming the halls I stumbled on some heated matches of Bloodbowl.
Someone Get The Bug Repellent!
One of the local gaming clubs put together a huge game of Starship Troopers. They tweaked the original rule set and made it a cooperative gaming experience where the players are working together as the military trying to fend off the bugs.

DUST 1947 Games Under Way And Look Who's Playing!
There's no surprise that Gianna, Lloyd & I love our DUST, but it makes me happy to see others love it too. While scoping out the games, I found a familiar face at the tables, Paolo Parente!
Stunning 40K Displays For Armies On Parades
One of the highlights at Adepticon is the Saturday night, Armies on Parade, where gamers proudly display their amazing displays. It's obvious that these individuals put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into these stunning displays. Enjoy!

Here's more of the 40K displays from last night's parade of armies.

There’s just something magical about gaming on the high seas. Folks were really enjoying the large battle of Sail Power up in the open gaming area.

I think we could've spent HOURS looking at the 40K armies on parade last night. Just amazing.

Open Gaming Was Crazy This Year! Crazy Good!
Big thanks to Doug's team for running such a great open gaming space. There's nothing better than having somewhere to take your new games out for a spin or connect with friends here at the con.

This live blog and the weekender? We are being spoilt here.
Just playing several days catch up and thanks again for another video log.
I may have to persuade my wife that we should take a holiday to your neck of the woods next year.
let the fun begin
For day 3, you lovely ladies look too well rested. :]
Keep up the good work!
Dawn, what does the Han So.o mini look like up close? The pictures make it look a bit…mediocre. I wonder how good the paint job is…
I thought the mini looked pretty good. I had a hard time getting a good angle to take the picture with minimum glare from the glass case.
Stupid iPad. That was obviously supposed to be ‘Solo’. Oops.
That Han Solo mini is so bad. It looks nothing like him. Are FFG trolling us?
Any presence from Modiphius Fallout ?
No, unfortunately not.
Thanks for the coverage guys. I’m not able to get to cons at the minute, and certainly not ones on the left-hand side of the pond, so its great to experience it from your videos and commentary. Lovely stuff.
This show is on the bucket list.
One day, when I own a large castle and don’t want for mortal things such as cash, I shall own a 40K Titan hangar, nestled beneath a fortress monastery, with a hive city board attached in a room the size of a football stadium.
It shall rock.
But until then there’s Adepticon.
This show is great!
Excellent coverage, wish I was there. Those Wild West Exodus miniaturas are great.
So much Adepticon goodness!!
Let’s start 🙂
I’m really hoping that you get to speak to GCT Studios again this year as I do love Bushido. Spot 401 on the floor. They have a new faction that’s rumored to come out this year so everyone is looking forward to the bear clan.
Incredible stuff all round.
Cant wait yo catch up on this when i have some free time
Any chance we might see what Acheson Creations brought?
Saturday… the big day.
Just got home from Adepticon… good times were had
Great show so far. Loving everything.
Cool show.
you guys should check out slowfusegaming hes right next to forge world and is painting there all weekend. hes the one who provided the brush cleaner in the bag and has brushes and other things he’s selling there!
Are you guys going to talk to steamforged games or privateer press
Yes, we’re talking to Steamforged tomorrow about Godtear. 🙂
Did the winners from Adepticon swag bag get announced. Wasn’t on last weekender
Can we ask the boys at Firelock Game’s about Blood & Plunder’s campaign rules that they have been working on? Any news at all!
Lots of wargamming content just what i like to see
Awesome coverage.
Oh you are still alive.
Can’t… keep… up!!!
Cool. GodTear is a game I am very interested in seeing played as the miniatures are in gloriuos metal and they look very nice too.
I love this show 🙂
Keep it up. I must confess the more I keep seeing Saga miniatures the more I want to play the game.
My wallet, it hurts so much…
Super envious I can’t be there! At least I get to follow the coverage :).
I definitely need to go to Adepticon in the future!
Looks great! hope i win!
Yay, fourth day 🙂
Damn.. why didnt I wait until AFTER Adepticon to move to Alaska..?
no news from infinity seminar or i’ve missed it somewhere?
The room that they had it in was the same room as the tournament. It was not the best setup for the cameras. Carlos revealed most of this the last time he was at the home studio in Ireland.
Excited to see what you have to say about Godtear!
the crystal brush stuff looks amazing
Any answers on this topic when you can buy them in Europe ??? (figurines and paper versions of books).
Something about Fire and sword ???

What an awesome show. Thanks for all the updates, really enjoyed (and been envious!) watching all the videos.
Finally I have time to watch the fourth day 🙂 It’s incredible, this is full of content 🙂
These AdeptiCon articles and videos are amazing, I enjoy every moment of them. Dawn looks fun to have around for games 🙂
The Adepticon coverage is incredible, it’s almost as if I’m there with @deltagamegirl22 and @stvitusdancern 🙂
Adepticon is the best time of the year 🙂
Adepticon is a great program to spend some weeks with 🙂
