Adepticon 2024 Report: What I Played & Loot

[@dr.h6493]

My 3 cents… Dead zone is also fun. Streamlined to play with my kids as well (ignore points and just make “even” squads) and then we play. We have killer 3d terrain for it too thanks to your channel and a few others!

[@reiner72]

Hey, thanks for swinging by my game of Judgement! I'm the one in pink and teal. It's a phenomenal game and yeah the tournies filled quickly. Luckily there are some more coming up. Cheers ✌

[@roberthermosillo5727]

That terrain is bonkers!

Thank you for coming by our booth and doing a demo! It was great to meet you, and we hope to talk to you again soon!

Nice shots and a great summary.

First video watched of your channel, and thoroughly enjoyed your Adepticon adventure and seeing all of your goodies. You definitely well rounded in the miniature hobby so thats a plus, so ill definitely have to check out your hobby videos

[@michaelsbagley]

It was great meeting you in person at Adepticon... I played 3 games over my time there (all more narrative games), Stargrave on Friday, the same Blood & Plunder blockade gane you dud on Saturday, and Silver Bayonet on Sunday. All 3 amazing times, and not competitive!

[@gaminggeek241]

Do you know if any pirates made it past the blockade that morning?

[@michaelsbagley]

Most of the games got called for time, before any "real" resolution.... but of the three tables I was able to view, at least two had a ship (each) that likely would have made it had time not cut gameplay short. I "heard" one of the two other tables was in a similar situation. So with that combo of witness and rumour, it seems about 3 of the 5 tables had at least some pirates escape.

[@RuthlessMojo]

I just purchased Legion and Crisis Protocol for a great price. I’m really impressed by the swag pack you get. Alas I’m all the way over in Australia. Damn.

[@roberthermosillo5727]

Wow, there are some truly beautiful terrain set-ups. Genuine pieces of art.

[@DaytonWarcryClub]

Hey, it was great seeing you again. I hope you enjoyed your time with Warcry. I agree the dice can be swingy but that's part of the fun. --Warren

If you want to play some OPR or Mantic games, join the local community!

[@chriswilson6486]

Same! I caught one of your videos with the Truman State shirt (my youngest son goes there), and had no idea you were in St. Louis! My group is eyeing up Firefight (a couple of us have starter boxes) and I did back their Epic KS.

[@dr.h6493]

My 2 cents on Battletech alpha strike: use a D12 for each attack you have for your mech’s range with one of your D12’s being a different color for your “pilot” die (if it gets a 12 it’s an auto critical hit). Guerrila Miniatures explains this really well and it keeps the game slick and more fun (I play it with my kids).

[@warlok363]

There is a ton of options in the Alpha Strike Commander's Edition book that aren't in the AS box set that cann add more crunch. SPAs and SPC, Formation rules, mixed forces and such.

[@optomix3988]

I have been to Adepticon a few times and its a lot of fun. If you are from the midwest it is a easy drive.

[@IKWDLR]

I've ben into gaming, table top, wargames as far back as 30 year now. I recently got into 3D printing myself and the steep learning curve that entails as there are inexpensive printers but its still not a inexpensive hobby to land into. I probably have about 7 total now, 3 resin (2 needing new fep), and 4 Filament printers of different styles to play around with. I've had memberships with OPR, Titanforge and Loot Studious and a smacking of others as well. I've been wanting to get more into OPR Game rules and playing it. Love to chat about it all.

[@gaminggeek241]

Have you printed out an army yet?

[@SciFiPorkChop28]

I appreciate the reminder about how much Revenant's Run stuff I still need to get printed and on the table!!!! Lol... I have been collecting Breachstorm models mostly for OPR... but they did just drop a new rule set update (they call it version 1.0, so I guess we were playing 0.8 mostly before? lol).... I also just put in an order for Relic Blade (you showed some video, but didn't talk much about that) and backed the rules for their "side game" of Cursebreaker set in the same universe using the same models.... Sean Sutter's stuff is fantastic and I really want to finish painting up my starter set for the Storms of Kural and get that game in front of my friends!

[@gaminggeek241]

Relic Blade is definitely a great game and Sean is so friendly and creative! I just haven't played in a long time but I think he's doing some good stuff.

[@justinhamrick384]

Those paints from Turbo Dork sound like they are worth checking out.

[@GreenBlueWalkthrough]

Great video and nice haul which the bonus games are mostly the latest releases from the industry leaders and that Armored Clash box isn't even out yet! Which you could play those tanks in World of Tanks minitures, Bolt Action Tanks(just adjust for size) as well.

[@roberthermosillo5727]

I would love to see a play through of Trials of Tempest.

[@Captain_plan_it]

Looks awesome, wish I could of made it!

[@bombjelly5795]

Nice video. Guess what. Onslaught is my current favorite board game. I’m new to anything D&D. One year in. I play onslaught weekly with some friends here . Onslaught is easy to find gamers because those D&D people can’t get enough of anything D&D. I also pre ordered halo flashpoint, but I have never played dead zone. About to start learning .

[@gaminggeek241]

I'm glad you like Onslaught! I like that you can use any miniature for the cards rather than being tied to specific ones. Have you tried Trials of Tempus yet?

[@bombjelly5795]

@@gaminggeek241 yes I own the premium edition. I prefer onslaught because of its simplicity and faster set up .

[@nealbarton7434]

Go Mantic games, doing great things!

[@joegkushner]

I'm more of a painter than a player. I picked up two sets of the new Atom paint by AMMO/MIG from Spraygunner's both. I also snagged all three sets of the new paint from Monumental Hobbies. And I grabbed on set of Light and Dark from the Creature Caster booth by Cutlefish colors. The Monumental will be available locally later but the other ones aren't sold by any of the FLSGs so saved myself some shipping. Also snagged several convention exclusive models. Wizkids and Privateer Press had small booths and no activity going by when I was there. There were 3rd party vendors doing more business than they were. I agree that Privateer Press selling 3d figures for 'real' costs instead of STL files is not sustainable. Which is a shame because for a minute there, they were hot and a viable alternative to Warhammer.

[@rayslover8526]

Warmachine is making a pretty good come back with the release of the 4th edition rules.

Cheers, Bum. We’ve got Salute coming up over here so you should fly over to compare 🤪!

Cant believe it took woodland scenic this long to realize..i been using the rr stuff since at least 90s

[@justinhamrick384]

Really seems like a no-brainer.

[@rayslover8526]

It's the same stuff. They're just going to be in smaller packages and at higher prices.

[@roberthermosillo5727]

I see what you're saying about War Machine. I played it several times and I really enjoyed it! Now, I cant even find their stuff in my local shops. It might be too late to expect a resurgence from that company, because the number of skirmish games has grown exponentially.

[@rayslover8526]

They aren't really going to offer it in FLGS's except maybe the starter boxes for each of the Armies. And all the old stuff is no longer being produced.

[@akadelnith]

I agree , warmachine was the alt for GW. They fizzled out for me after mk2 was over (so mk3) then removing factions and making new ones ? The biggest missed out was just using templates for terrain and no 3d terrain. The tip toe into area terrain was tiring. Good luck to them

[@rayslover8526]

They are using 3d terrain now, and the mk4 rules have created a big resurgence. Many people who quit after mk2 have come back.

[@akadelnith]

@rayslover8526 that's good. Hopefully it picks up. The more games the better. Everyone will stay on thier toes and be let me do my best and not just heres crumbs

Kings of War by Mantic. I don't know if it is an actual army or a proxied one because I don't remember there being an Asian-themed army in KOW.

[@emiliorodriguez3796]

No Warcrow from CB?
