Our Thoughts On The Games Workshop Studio Preview
Dawn and Todd give their thoughts on the new miniatures and more that got previewed as part of Games Workshop’s presentation this year. They go into more detail on the introduction of Slaanesh, the additions to Warcry, Fyreslayers returning and much more.
Thorsday Is Off and Running
Thorsday is off and running in the Saga room. There’s a nice crowd learning to play the epic game. The vibe in this room is always super relaxed. Yes, people die, but you smile while it happens! Oh! And I’ve bumped into Mel, so we’ll be getting a proper chat with him in the few days.

10 CommentsA Song Of Ice & Fire With Michael Shinall
- What could possibly be more fun than playing A Song of Ice & Fire? Playing the game with Michael Shinall! His narrative took the game to a totally different level. I could have watched all day.
Warhammer 40K On The Table.
The theme for most armies this year is to have a big creature or robot backing you up
Vendors outside the main hall
Just some of the entrepreneurs selling their wares
The Horus Heresy
From 2 player to multiplayer the forces of mankind take on the Warmasters forces
lets get this show on the road!!! yeah!… please get info from Corvus Belli, Dust1947 and Parabellum Conquest
Stay tuned to day 2 interview with Dust live stream at 1600 hours central time
Strapped in! Really to see what Modiphius have to reveal for us….. Oh and FFG too – clone wars for Legion to be spoiled??
Please watch the video on day 2
Jeebus that swag bag seems to get more ridiculous from year to year…
And heavier!!!
Have you seen the Star Wars: Legion stuff? oO Clone Wars Starter Box….. *gnaaa*
lol … it technically isn’t a new system, is it ? 😉
yes, like the blue box from X-Wing… just a different core set… but 10 USD more expensive… ARGH
I’m mostly an original trilogy guy, (but including Rogue One also). So I’ll pick a few of the Clone Wars stuff here and there and also grab the upgrade card pack, but I don’t see myself buying every Clone Wars item.
I may eat those words but that’s what I’m thinking as of now.
I’m with you there… especially including this one:
“I may eat those words but that’s what I’m thinking as of now.”
Mostly I want more dice and just the dice pack is too expensive…. I’ll just wait and see….
I agree that more dice is needed. I have two core boxes and I still bought the extra dice pack. ?
Looking forward to a Weekend of Adepticon content from BoW/OTT US-Team Dawn and Gianna..Thanks for the Live Blog!
Don’t forget about us minions behind the scene…
Absolutely not! Many Thanks – of course – to all the Live Bliog Team – each and every BoW/OTT minion!
Post a Team Photo guys so we can see all those behind the scenes.
Great first day…. Carb-up for an even longer day 2!
Been looking forward to this for a bit. Haven’t ever been to Adepticon and it’s one of my bucket list cons. Love these live blogs to get a feel for what I’m missing.
I’m sure they’re already on the list but I’d love to see some of Wyrd and the new Malifaux 3 and the Other Side. I haven’t heard a lot from Monsterpocalypse if they have anything.
Dawn will be talking to Malifaux on day 2
At FFGs panel yesterday they mentioned that they’re using a different plastic to make the clone war minis from. That got me wondering if this new plastic will work with model glue, or if we’ll need to keep using super glue to assemble them?
Can you ask CMON what the heck they are doing with Wrath of Kings and Dark-Age please
I think I’m finally going to have to break down and go to AdeptiCon some time. It looks like a blast every time I see someone post from it.
Surprised you haven’t been over to the Warcradle booth after their announcement.
Thx for the blog.
I do love these con weekends
So great to be able to follow the action via the VLOGs
