Follow along!
"No prisoners"!
Masters of Malifaux has drawn a multitude of competitors into its clutches, all of them seeking victory and power, none of them scouring for prisoners. Out of all the challengers that have appeared for combat, only one will leave victorious.
Let them Fight!
Utter Board Games' Battlescars is based on a modular combat system with the machines they battle with have interchangeable weapons at bay for easy switching based on the situation and need. The miniatures look great, they are simple and look great at what they were designed for. This will be a fun game to remember and a great game to play.
"You are either a slave, or you are a gladiator"
Arena Rex kicked off with a bang with people fighting for favor of crowds against lions and rhinos for entertainment.
"Be you a hero or a monster, you will die the same"
RelicBlade is a fantasy skirmish game for the ages, you can play as either the heroes or the monsters, there are pig warriors, undead skeletons, bears. It grabs a lot of attention as it is simple and doesn’t take a long time to play and learn and enjoy the game
nothing beats a ship battle
The battlefleet Gothic tournament is flying along with many ships already smoldering and floating endlessly.

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 🙂
