Gen Con 2016 Live Blog: Day Four!

Good morning to you all, we hope you have enjoyed what we have presented so far. This has been a great last few days with some really nice surprises. If you have any last minute suggestions please post them in the comments below.

I finally found my way over to the Megacon booth in the vendor hall, where they had a whole case full of their MERCS units. As we mentioned when we spoke with them the other day, they have 217 events here at the con!

This Con has been so crazy busy that we have been chasing John from Ninja Division / Soda Pop Miniature for the past three days and finally were able to corner him last night. Make sure you watch the video all the way through and see how hard Dawn and John try not to laugh at one point. True professionals!

They are just too impressive not to share! They have so much more booth space this year and we're able to really showcase their pieces nicely.

Dawn was able to grab a small bit of video for the new upcoming FFG mass battle miniatures game. The presenter is explaining the basic rules. We will try and get you some game play video today.

I stopped in on Dream Pod 9 to have a look at their new plastic models and had a chat about what's new. They've been BUSY! There's a new online game being piloted on STEAM where you can either play or be a spectator, and you can bet on other players while you watch! They also have their Dreadnoughts going to KS this fall and lots more.

We had to grab a chat with our friends at Antimatter Games about their fantastic miniatures games, Deep Wars & Shadow Sea. They just recently completed their successful Blood Reef Kickstarter and had some awesome minis to show off.

ARES Games is having their best Gen Con ever with their latest titles including, Conan, Last Friday, and War of the Ring. Their demo tables have been full and they sold out of things very fast. It was also great to see people enjoying both Wings of Glory and Sails of Glory.

We had to visit with our friends from Everything Epic Games to talk about their awesome Indiana Jones-ish adventure game, Secrets of the Lost Tomb. While we were there, they also announced that they are currently working on a miniatures board game for Big Trouble In Little China! We got a sneak peek at the first few minis and they are looking sweet.

We had a nice chat with Tom from Fat Dragon Games about their awesome variety of terrain. They started off with papercraft terrain that looks absolutely amazing, and they've now transitioned over into 3D printable terrain. These sets still provide modular building capability for gamers at a relatively lower price point. They will be headed to Kickstarter again in the near future with even more goodies.

We love seeing familiar faces at the cons and the guys from Anvil 8 Games are a perfect example. It's been great to see Aetherium really coming into its own. This Gen Con they're celebrating the recent launch of the latest addition to the world of Aetherium, House Ikaru. And if that wasn't enough, they've also launched a brand new card game, Frontline No Komrades, which looks to be a super fun and fast card game.

The case is full of all the chibi goodness you could possibly ask for at Soda Pop'star booth. There was even painted Rail Raiders in there! Adorable!

Here's a quick peek at the variety of things being played in the demo hall: Mythic Pantheon, Exiles & GI Joe: Cobra Assault- just to name a few. There's plenty of gaming going on in every nook & cranny around here- folks gathered together in corners in the hallways too!

Dawn catches up with Scott from Flying Frog Games and he walks about all the coolness he brought along with an announcement about an exciting Kickstarter coming soon.

Dawn sits down with Sean from Gale Force 9 to talk Star Trek Ascendancy and a party game.

It is the end of an exciting and crazy busy four days. We hope you have enjoyed the coverage and we hope to see you all next year.
