Rest in pieces Chundor!

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

LETS GOOO

[@underthedice]

I got $10 on the Radish

[@MrWyrmWood]

Really did not expect to feel emotional over Chundor's fate at the end...

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

You are human! Hard not to respect a fallen warrior who leaves it all on the line

[@logicforfirstgraders]

Your wording and delivery of the "doesn't matter who won" bit was cracking. Right on the money for enjoying the victory with no gloat

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

😂

[@Zambies]

I hope the meat grinder is back next year. I really got to try this! Also, Trent seeing snow for the first time is so wholesome.

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

Youd should have seen him have his first ever peanut butter and jelly sandwich 😂

[@uriance88]

@@EricsHobbyWorkshop Now Trent needs to visit Canada in winter to fully experience things - and maybe be exposed to . . . . poutine

[@Zambies]

@@EricsHobbyWorkshop 😆!

[@LathanM]

The Grinder will be back next year. It is the back alley dice game of the convention.

[@Zambies]

@@LathanM yesss!

[@graefx]

I adore the idea of Meat Grinder lol. That's a perfect event game. I just wish there was some way to recycle the remains. They're chunked up and perfect to be injection molded again.

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

Thats a great idea! No waste!!

[@LathanM]

We do recycle them. They become rubble piles and basing sand.

[@davemeyer8627]

​@@LathanMplus, I did keep all the "debris" this year. Maybe a Golem of some sort? Hmm...

[@GoobertownHobbies]

#Chundorforever

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

What a good con this year man, so many memories! Rip Chundor…

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

Yeah! It keeps getting more fun it seems. Great to see you man

[@wittlegoblin]

What a fun time, I'm looking forward to seeing you again next year! RIP Chundor.

[@PiratePyroFilms]

I wasn't expecting VInce to be THAT tall holy moly

[@CaringClover]

I thought it was a cosplayer the first time. Vince playing gargants makes a lot more sense now

[@LathanM]

I am so happy you loved the Meat Grinder. It is fun every year. It is the greatest painting competition you will ever experience. Hopefully you can come back and play agqin.

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

It was brilliant! I'll be back next year!

[@Beaut_Beau]

I smiled the whole way through this video and even teared up a bit too, this feeling of community is what i never had when i was a young hobbyist and the lack of it is why i packed it all up long ago.

[@garbagegnome2045]

That’s our boy Stephen from Western MA! Look at him, making it to the big times!!

[@Strat0Patrick]

2:08 moment with "Vince" are golden :D

[@SwineofWar]

Love your content, it's so full of passion for the hobby, I'll be eagerly awaiting your battle report!

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

Thanks! I do love this stuff

[@user-ou3nq5kk8p]

I was with my son Joshua and we bumped into Eric. He was very kind and took a few selfies and said a few kind words, I know it meant the world to Joshua. But then he did something I'll never forget -- he lifted me up in his strong arms and blew a raspberry on my tummy. At first I was alarmed, but it was by far the best part of my weekend and something we'll look forward to every year!

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

lmao

[@littleninja830]

Thank you so much for shouting out Cathy Wappel’s fundraiser. They mean a lot to the community and we’re sorely missed this year. But you can see their impact by how much Fort Wappel has grown and is always full!

[@benmartland704]

GRINDER! GRINDER! GRINDER!

[@iain.sm.c]

Never have I experienced FOMO more than watching every chant GRINDER

[@IainEmslie]

Chundor we hardly knew ya

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

Don’t be sad. He’s in Valhalla now feasting with the other fallen warriors

[@D1gital-ZER0]

That's my buddy's car in the shot of Trent playing with the snow! That's awesome lol. Thanks for signing my pallette, Eric, it was great to see you at Adepticon.

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

Hahaha no way! Thats awesome. Nice to meet you too

[@Berserkerworks]

Thank you to your buddy for bringing snow to the event for Trent, it was a magical moment.

[@MCXL1140]

Did you see the smaller guy cosplaying Vince Venturella? It looked like he was hosting Vince's paint classes too...

[@barbarusbloodshed6347]

THE HOBBY CONTENT WE ALL CRAVE, DUDE! Well done. Loved watching this!

[@ryansullivan5854]

That final montage deserves a second thumbs up.

[@summonlessermaker]

That seemed like so much fun 👍 thanks for sharing man!

[@Tranquil_Hobby]

looks fun!

[@khaiuschill310]

Looks amazing

[@jakublhotan9029]

Brilliant 😊

[@TheRendar]

Awesome video!

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

A shadows of the empire star wars movie would be sick

[@vladhelikopter]

paintjob makes difference! Glorious victory.

[@Nerdmancer]

Thanks for showing us the fun of the con. That was infectious. I do miss these kinds of events and hope to get back to them soon

[@SubbuteoFocus]

Fascinating stuff, really enjoyed the video.

[@thundergoat421_6]

I am deployed at the moment so I had to miss this year's Adepticon. Next year, I will 100% be going. I was Con Crud the Plague Marine in 2019. The Legionare of the Death Guard will make a return!

[@nicg1331]

Wow! That was a very easy video to like!

[@mrjingles8694]

Really enjoyed that

[@athilith]

That video is top shelf. Heartwarming moments where someone has their first experience with snow- explosive grinder action and everything in between. Thank you for sharing this. Peak energizing content.

[@EagleUnleashed]

My favourite video yet Eric 😊

[@brandonbehr9237]

Your channel inspired me a lot in my terrain making. It was neat to walk past you in the vendor hall this year.

[@simplesmile6984]

All the cool ppl chilling yeah!

[@Denbot7]

RIP Chundor, your legend will live on forever!

[@GenesisMaximus]

Eric you beautiful human thank you for your amazing videos they’re my go to chill entertainment while I work on my armies.

[@highvalleyhobbies]

Love this! I hope to make it to Adepticon some day!

[@adamnagy2343]

Chandor looks like an AI generated image takings shape in a miniature form. Love it!

[@Thertra70]

The meat grinder is amazing. My mini with all the heads and bits of fallen foes is displayed on is a case on my mantle because it is that cool.

[@ArthurRiggins]

This video was awesome, definitely made me want to go. Loved the meat grinder! Thanks Eric

[@MEchanicAL_LSTAR]

You have some really good content and I think your personality keeps people engaged. When you get to a point when you can (after the titan build) I’d love to see you try a space marine costume build.

[@dagabonpataman8312]

Great vid thanks for sharing ! we definitly need a diy vid for your friend's tzeench army!

[@kmykz]

Looks like you had a blast 😁

[@guitarpop]

Glad he got to see some snow

[@sirrobert1962]

Your army looks fantastic.

[@Miniac]

RIP Chundor

[@monster_mayhem_creations]

Great video guys! I had NO IDEA I was next to y'all at Fort Wapple most of the time! 😅 Hope to see y'all next year!

[@RoboCrash]

It was cool meeting you at the Con, even if it was only for a moment! I was the guy chatting with Bill over at the Armies on Parade area. This was my first year to Adepticon and I definitely gotta go again in the future!

[@Zodd83]

the Fallens shall be forever remembered. Feeled the fun moment even from this far screen. Wonderfull!

[@the_sigil4340]

It sure seems like a lot of fun. Maybe someday I'll attend to one

[@wisecrack4545]

Its been a long running hope to one day make the trip all the way over there from Australia. I was hooked on attending one day after first reading some battle reports and hobby projects coming out of one of the 40k team tournament event back in the early 2000s. Even if its only a brief coverage, watching this video was a blast.

[@callusklaus2413]

Man, I would love to play Fantasy again! Unfortunately I lost my old High Elf army, and now I'm rebuilding it with 3D printing and tactical ebay snipes. I'm so excited to paint it up and do what I just couldn't afford as a kiddo back in the day. I would love to throw down against you or anyone with a gorgeous pair of painted armies!

[@studiofoureightnine]

May Chunder live on in our hearts!

[@GloriousGrunt]

Wholesome af!

[@Dylan-er9ji]

Hell ya Eric's Hobby Batreps!

[@lonelysandbar]

I was playing Horus Heresy most of the convention, but the whole thing truly was a blast. Hopefully you attend again and I can say hi! Awesome recap.

[@Eastcoastrios]

So awesome! One day I will end up going! One day!

[@user-uc2eo1ew7u]

I found your channel with the jousting tournament you put together. Now I really want to adapt this as a mini game to my role playing games to run a full tournament, chariot races and pitfights against man and beast. Would love to see more on the old Warhammer stuff. Looks amazing

[@soundgarden8885]

Hoooooly Vinnie-Vince is one hell of a unit!!!! Never knew!

[@sambarker930]

Please do it mate! Love your old world/mordheim stuff

[@reiner72]

It was such a great time!

[@Fox01313]

I've heard so much about this con from the Independent Characters podcast and I want to get to this one ASAP.

[@MetalKingStudio]

Fun times

[@LeeGutsy]

Trent seeing snow was wholesome

[@saiancantin7667]

+1 for the battle repport!

[@mindlasher]

James and Cathy were there for an hour or two. Cathy did the draw for the Warcry raffle. They weren't in the public area. A few hand picked people got to go and meet them. I wasn't lucky enough to be one of them, but a friend of mine was. She got them to sign my autograph book

[@misriaharmory3884]

I was there as well which I could have seen you!!! I was playing battletech all weekend but walked throughout the entire thing.

[@thevuntzer]

I was so excited to see other content creators I know in some of those shots. Especially Vince.

[@steampunk8036]

Great video! Thanks for all the laughs! Love the meat grinder bit! -Rick, USMC

[@TylerProvick]

Bamboozled by the Vince Cosplayer

[@cabe_bedlam]

Trent seeing his first snow was so wholesome, and then…. Betrayal! 😊

[@blahlbinoa]

That meat grinder battle sounds like so much fun!

[@ed1050]

Awesome video, hope the battle report gets the needed likes

[@ThreeFootGood]

Woah! You walked up to the miniature cabinet and there was no one in line!

[@elrondorio]

That was not Vinci V, but somebody who resembled him (anybody back me up on this?)

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

Lmao yeah it was a Vince Venturella cosplay i just didn’t get any shots of the real Vince

[@elrondorio]

ROFLMAO I forgot that people were Cosplaying Vince! You got some great convention footage there!

[@ScratchBashing]

Thanks for introducing me to Martin McCoy!

[@TheMag1cWalrus]

Antique shops have a lot of meat grinders for dirt cheap... I smell a reckoning

[@darthrevan4376]

Btw love how this army looks like on the table. Never played whfb but I'd enjoy to see more

[@uclearwhale]

I am definitely here for a full production value battle report

[@sprootown]

Chundor, hilarious name... Great Vid thanks!

[@Schalazarro]

Wow! Your last words made my cry..

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

Do not mourn his death my friend, celebrate his life

[@Schalazarro]

@@EricsHobbyWorkshop he is a live in our hearts 💞 forever!

[@hahamingudersejest]

Yes to the battle report. Yes to everything.

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

[@Karvoc]

[@totally_not_panicking]

Excellent vibes! So nice meeting you and looking forward to next year. Chaos vs Vampire 6th ed when? :D

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

IS THAT A CHALLENGE?!! Haha yeah man I’m down. Great to meet you too
