Check out the AdeptiCon BOOTY 2024

[@MrLyren]

"Behold! My stuff!"

[@samthompson2980]

Missed an opportunity! 'Behold, my Booty!!' 😂

[@bryanruhe5956]

The Mechs were commissioned by itswhatevan and sculpted by Ana Polanšćak, AKA Gardens of Hecate. The resin versions are new, cast by Ramshackle Games - Curtis doesn’t like wasting resin, hence the sprue gate being a scenic wreck! The idea of a scannable QR code linking to BattleTech Mech sheets was all Evan’s idea. ❤ Was good to meet you! - Slug Wizard

[@tabletopminions]

I *thought* Ana sculpted those, but I wasn’t 100% sure. Thanks for letting me know. Thanks for watching!

[@BillMakingStuff]

Hey it was nice to meet you at Adepticon!

[@tabletopminions]

It was good to meet you, too - and thanks for the Cat sticker! I hope he was glad to see you when you got back. Thanks for watching!

[@GoobertownHobbies]

whoa, those fireforge games frames look great! thanks for the tip :-)

[@tabletopminions]

They got all kinds of neat undead stuff. Thanks for watching!

[@chalupacabra4312]

Gotta say, nobody gets me quite as excited about being involved in the indie wargaming scene as you.

Thanks for stopping by the BLKOUT booth! Glad you picked up the dusters they’re a lot of fun! We just released “Handlers” who are the pilots of the dusters!

[@tdnavy1066]

BLKOUT rocks 🤘

[@anthonywaggett9317]

Honestly impressed by your restraint. I would love to go to Adepticon but being in the UK I'll have to settle for Salute in 2 weeks time. It's only a one day event but it's in it's 51st year and is run by South London Warlords gaming club making it the biggest independent wargaming Con in Europe. We get Mantic, Warlord, Asmodee UK and some of the other big UK companies (no GW) but I should see a lot of local gaming clubs and indie companies. Really looking forward to it and they had close to 10,000 attendees last year.

[@NapoleonicWargaming]

Hey man, I'm from the UK...got back from Adepticon yesterday ;)

[@tabletopminions]

I’ve heard of it - maybe some year I’ll get to go. Have fun, and thanks for watching!

[@timunderbakke8756]

Make sure to stop by Oathsworn Minis! They’re my favorite small Uk shop (I’m a US customer but I have bought from them several times)

[@lynnhavard3684]

I love Fireforges’ miniatures. The sergeants box set is great and the pictures for the first edition Frostgrave rulebook, outside of the wizards and monsters, are Fireforge. Great stuff.

[@johnmcconnell9979]

I've picked up a good amount of their figures, including their Peasant Rabble. Great modularity and so many extra bits for conversions. One of my favorite companies.

[@lynnhavard3684]

@@johnmcconnell9979 great models for conversions.

[@elijahdprophet]

This year was my first Adepticon, grabbed a quick selfie with you at the Under The Dice booth. I expected it to be a weekend of mild partying and playing 40k, and I ended up meeting all the Grimdark Hallway denizens by way of the Brush Wielders Union. I got home feeling fired up to do some cool hobby stuff in a way I've never been before.

[@tabletopminions]

AdeptiCon will certainly do that to you. Thanks for watching!

[@paulwalker5221]

Fireforge make some nice minis, my favourites are dwarfs on Rams, but most of the Forgotten range is good. They also sell a variety of shiels, halberds, spears etc, excellent for kit bashing. All plastic. Fireforge are generally 28 to 30mm miniatures. They also make some sci fi minis and have just released some excellent Japanese Samurai, well worth a look.

[@derekgarcia3069]

Those Blkout minis really do have some intense Titanfall vibes. TF2 is my favorite FPS campaign of all time, so I may need to check this out. Thanks for making us aware of more awesome stuff!

[@NickStraken]

That big green stone thing is a bigger version of a Privateer Press miniature for Hordes called Shifting Stones for Circle Orboros.

[@thomasgrable1746]

I know, I'm miffed that I missed it! I'll have to search online for it.

[@Stormcaller3801]

Which probably means it was printed and sold without permission from the company.

[@thomasgrable1746]

@@Stormcaller3801 If Privateer Press sold big obelisks like this then it would a problem. As they don't, I doubt they'd mind, and would likely enjoy seeing it on the table.

[@OrakelofDeath]

@@thomasgrable1746 So: Privateer Press has put a lot of wirk, effort and Money inside an unique Desighn & they shouldn't mind if some Rambo-Punk with an 3D-Scanner steels this desighn and enlarge it? Think once more.

[@joerggering5156]

Fireforge Games has a large range of historical miniatures both hard plastic and resin. Forgotten World is basically their fantasy range. I have a couple of medieval troops from them and while they are nothing fancy you have quite some options and the kits are mostly interchangable.

[@ChicagoTerrainFactory]

Fireforge has been around for a long time. A good portion of my Crusades army is made up from their kits.

[@sporf_sporf]

Fireforge Peasant Rabble are great for kit bashing with Frostgrave. I have some weathering pencils from AK but I've never been too sure on how best to use them. I bought Huge miniatures crackle paste last year and love it.

[@sativa-sloth6099]

Oh man that Blackout game looked awesome, already looking into their website and thinking about grabbing the starter set.

[@joshbarber3213]

Was good seeing you there, Adam! Thanks for the information regarding airbrushes and airbrush cabinets!

[@WestfaliaStuff]

Hey! Thanks for picking up a box of our MorkBorg minis! Cheers - Kawe@Westfalia :--)

[@Crosis101]

ESS has BLACKOUT set in the Killwager universe. It’s the UN’s first colony so there are people that live on ABDOL, but now mega corps have show up to exploit the resources. I love the universe and the way they write rules…I did even provide some fiction for the universe, but I am not sure if it’s been published yet.

[@tdnavy1066]

Hell yeah 🤘

[@phonty1]

As always, great video, Uncle Atom! I too love seeing the indie games and related miniatures.

Look forward to this video every year

[@magimon91834]

Genuinely suprised that you havent heard of fireforge before now. They are like the holy trinity of 3rd party plastics with Wargames Atlantic and Warlord

[@drewfrees5098]

I also jumped on the Blkout train, played 5 games last night at my flgs! Also loved the Tanks meet up, super fun time. Did not know about the grimdark hallway, next year will be devoted to convention center exploration!

[@tdnavy1066]

BLKOUT 🤘

[@EricWier]

It was amazing to meet you at Adepticon! Similarly, it was great getting to chat with you for my podcast Dragged into Turbolasers while there!

[@tabletopminions]

It was a fun interview - I appreciate you having me on the podcast. Thanks for watching!

[@Kevin.Mitchell]

Lovely haul once again - those broken down mechs looked perfect for a project I'm working on. I very much enjoy watching your booty videos good sir!

[@redjacc7581]

those duster mechs ROCK!

[@tdnavy1066]

Yeah they do

The artwork and Typography in the Cauldron book is fantastic.

[@JoelMorris-zs6db]

I really enjoy the "loot haul" videos. Thanks for sharing your bounty!

The four big European shows are Salute in the UK at London, UK Games Expo at the NEC Birmingham , Crisis at Antwerp Holland and Spiel at Essen in Germany. Spiel is also board games but the had 193000 people attend last year.

I dig the Hatebreed style logo under the dice is using.

[@greywhizard]

Same here. Definitely gonna have to pick one up.

[@thediesel4475]

Some nice swag there and I agree that one of the real joys of attending shows is coming across the stuff I never knew I always wanted!

[@iPaintSmallThings]

I'm always amazed at how much stuff I miss! Cauldron looks right up my ally. Good stuff and great recap!

[@EmbraCraig]

Fireforge minis make great stuff. Anyone who wants knights for their fantasy armies should have a look - the knightly orders stuff in their historical ranges are amazing.

[@Mikey__R]

Are they heroic scale?

[@EmbraCraig]

@@Mikey__R they’re chunkier than a lot of more realistically proportioned historical minis - closer to old GW bretonnians than Perry stuff, for example

[@aslskfan1]

Yeah, you could really feel the number of people this year.

[@Berserkerworks]

It was great to see you again Adam!

[@tabletopminions]

Absolutely! I’m hoping that someone will run MEK28 at TMX - that’d be very cool. Thanks for watching!

[@UndergroundPlus302]

I love your emphasis on the indie gamer developers. It seems like an amazing community to be a part of. I really appreciate learning about these games and the people who make them.

[@justincausey3000]

These videos are an absolute joy.

[@MLE_blue]

“You find stuff that you didn’t know you wanted and then you pick it up” I feel that.. It was my first Adepticon and boy howdy was I pleased with my haul!!

Awesome seeing our work on your channel :) @wyrmforge here checking in! You sure got some nice goodies there Pleasure meeting you drop in next year!

Well adepticon booty didn’t mean what I thought it did.

Fireforge Games are fantastic. I have multiple of their medieval boxes and am going to get into their samurai line this month.

great video! love the aesthetic for BLKOUT, got some minis for that game and I'm excited to get some games in!

[@joegkushner]

Forgotten World came out a few years ago. It's a fairly generic fantasy campaign that started off with undead and knights. I backed the Kickstarter when it first launched. The Rook is Cities of Sigmar. Con exclusive figure.

[@gloomforged]

Love the style of the Cauldron book. Will be checking that out.

Always great to see you, too! I wish we could have chatted more. Thanks for watching!

The minis at 8:55 are from One Gold Piece - they did a lot of fantasy Star Wars based sculpts. Some really cool medieval armored storm troopers and Mando halflings.

[@knockedgoose4206]

I have to show respect to uncle Atom for showing his hardcore elder side with that Hatebreed inspired shirt

[@joshuaboyle7585]

I appreciate your integrity in erring on the side of caution in regards to this being a paid promotion. Great video! Thank you for making these.

[@frandeastora]

What a lot of pretty things! You make me a little envious, here in Spain, it is difficult to find people who are interested in more than a certain game about war and hammers, so gathering several thousand people to get them to play indie games sounds like a dream. Also, I discovered a couple of games thanks to this video! I especially liked Cauldron and Flames of Orion (I love that Laserburn flavored cover)

[@domyr6999]

That bright green fdm terrain looks like a shifting stone from warmachine/hordes circle orboros.

[@stephenbobby6715]

The grit is probably made of dyed walnut shells. Thats what all the woodland scenic flocks are made of.

[@fisherguy45]

The QR code for the mechs took me to a cool page. 4:50 More companies should do that with their miniatures!

[@bryanruhe5956]

itswhatevan is a smarty-pants, that was all his idea

[@Gladius-XC]

The large green pillar you got is a Shifting Stone from Privateer Press’s Hordes. There are 3 to a unit for the Circle Orboros faction.

[@tabletopminions]

Interesting - because I know I didn’t get it from the Privateer Press booth… that both was near the back of the vendor hall. Weird. Thanks for watching!

[@dancicero]

Missed Adepticon this year, but will confirm that it is an amazing experience. Even met Uncle Adam last year!

Adepticon is amazing, my favorite con as well. Food -- if willing to take a LYFT or UBER for a few minutes, there is an amazing array of restaurants in Schaumburg. Chicago style pizza is a must, and the heavy metal burger place Kuma's is such a good time. Thanks for the video, it eases the pain of not going this year!

So glad you found BLKOUT and the ESS crew especially where you like skirmish games and small studios. Hope to see you do a video on them once you look more into the rules and the game.

[@robertfreimann8097]

Thx for the Podcast "under the hive". AND i was exited to hear u buy from westphalia! Thats my Home Region. 🎉

Those weathering pencils sound amazing!!! Blkout sounds interesting. Downloaded the mech games to check them out! Also, for those interested, Breachstorm is another free ruleset. I've seen that Mercs and WarZone Eternal are making comebacks! I've never played them but they used to get a lot of coverage and then disappeared.

[@tdnavy1066]

Definitely check out BLKOUT brother

[@marks6928]

Blkout looks great. At 9:34

[@tdnavy1066]

It's dope

[@DarthP00P00]

Yeah I keep seeing advertisements on Facebook for that blackout game, and it looks very cool. I think eventually try and buy the two player starter box because yesterday I watched the rules overview and I actually was very impressed especially with the concept of models being able to lean around corners just like a typical first person shooter.

[@the_coalheart]
