AdeptiCon 2019 Live Blog – Part One

Welcome to the first day here at AdeptiCon 2019. We’ve got loads for you to get stuck into so make sure to follow along and, as always, include loads of comments on what you’d like to see this year.

AdeptiCon 2019 is one of the busiest conventions in the US and there are LOADS of awesome people getting ready to get stuck into the show and all it offers. It seems like some of us might have already decided what they’re looking forward to picking up!

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 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.

Dawn does one of the things she loves most, ‘unbagging’ the Swag Bag from AdeptiCon 2019. This bag is FULL of awesome miniatures and more, all of which you get when you sign up for the Premium Swag Bag at AdeptiCon.
