AdeptiCon 2016 Live Blog – Part Two
We continue the awesomeness this week at AdeptiCon as Dawn & Gianna continue to get stuck into what's going on at this HUGE event in the USA!
AdeptiCon Interviews
Throughout the run up to AdeptiCon we've been interviewing the organisers of the event and some of the companies attending in a series called AdeptiCon Talks
This gives you a neat way to catch up on some of the events and more that we might cover during the Live Blog
The event is going to run at the Renaissance Schaumburg Convention Center Hotel in Schaumburg, Illinois. Let us know below what you would love to see as the event unfurls!
Prepare for the craziness!
Blogging At This Event:
Fight To the Death In Arena Rex
The Arena Rex booth has been CRAZY busy, so we had to sneak in before the vendor area was open to get a closer look. Redben had a chance to play a demo yesterday and couldn't say enough good things about it.
Hoth Is Getting Ready For Battle On Day 2
Hoth Is generating more and more interest and folks have been snapping pictures as we get ready to run the game on Day 2. Gamers have been really excited at the arcadey, hop in hop out style game play.
Things Are About To Get Epic In the Apocalypse Game
Things are about to get MASSIVE in an Apocalypse Game. Not only do the tables look great, but it's all about who's bringing the biggest and baddest to the table, and how long you can survive the chaos.
Dogfights In Full Effect In the X-Wing Hall
With the planetary destination of Hoth, Fantasy Flight is in full swing with X-Wing tournament play. There's great representation from Rebels, Empire and Smugglers alike. Players are working hard for wins, knowing the ultimate prize will be a trip to the Star Wars convention in London and a place in the finals there.
Get Your Viking On In the Saga Grand Melee
The Vikings are trying to conquer all in the Saga Grand Melee. The coordinators have really set the scene with shields and banners for proper Viking representation.
An Epic 40K Display Table
Each year the coordinators of the 40K events put together a jaw dropping display, and this year looks fantastic!
Team Yankee Underway
Team Yankee is getting some love at Adepticon. Tanks, air support, are finding their ways onto the tables.
Things Are Getting Wild in the West
I found Teras from Geek Nation Tours having a game of Wild West Exodus. Miniatures were getting picked off left and right and guns were a-blazing.
More Impressive Entries For Crystal Brush
The cases continue to fill up with beautiful works from some of the most talented painters in the industry.
Carlos Is Here With Human Sphere N3!
Corvus Belli has been a very popular stop for shoppers and Human Sphere N3 has literally been flying off the shelves. We'll try to grab a chat with Carlos at some point, but the poor guy has already lost most of his voice.
Fantasy Flight Is Demoing Star Wars Rebellion, & Redben Approves
Star Wars Rebellion literally hit retail yesterday and they're running demos here at Adepticon. Redben had a good game and said he really enjoyed the game. He fell victim to the lure of the darkside and then got to send a Death Star to blow up a planet. There's nothing that doesn't sound epic about that!
Knuckleduster Miniatures Bringing Desperado Back To The Table
We had a great chat with Forrest from Knuckleduster about how Desperado is gaining popularity on the tables once more. His line of colorful characters from the West are perfect to play in the game and really set the seen.
Reaper Always Has the Coolest Dragons
If you love dragons (and if you don't, we can't be friends any more), then you will absolutely love the Dragons from Reaper. Big, small, and everything in between, they offer a fantastic variety of creatures for your games.
More Crystal Brush Awesomeness
The cases are nearing capacity, and it's getting more difficult to get through the crowd to the cases. What an amazing collection of beautiful pieces!
Custom Drawing From Mark Gibbons
Dawn receives a custom drawing from the talented Mark Gibbons.

The game with the pirate ships looks fun. I will have to make it out to adepticon sometime.
I hope you are able to show off some more entries for the Crystal Brush awards. The truck in Yann’s Salvage yard looks great with all that rust detail. Many thanks for an engaging presentation and highlights throughout.
Great coverage, thanks. Really wish Corvus Belli would make an appearance at Salute.
