WAAGH! Drillteef

Adepticon has become a staple in our convention diet. Thousands of folks still flock to the humble halls of suburban Chicago to take part in a long week(end?) of pure gaming satisfaction with a hard focus on miniatures. Thanks goes out to Geek Nation Tours for making my visit so effortless and relaxing. This year, we took the train. It's an inexpensive and safe way to travel 700 miles in about 14 hours. The Lakeshore Limited is an overnight service, so I generally end up sleeping through most of it. Miniatures Throughout the week, I involved myself in a few miniature-related events. The Teladrin Enclave narrative  Battlefleet Gothic event was incredibly cool and immersive, including secret missions for all the major factions and a wonderful atmosphere and really cool terrain.

Here are some additional shots of the tournament thanks to Harley and his amazing photography skills. The Goldensprue Cup Bill's Tau were a delight to see. They have come a long way in such a short amount of time! Jason (1/3) brought the Grey knights again with a little "Green Tigirius" action.  Jarad is working on his marines and has a cool fortification. Jason(2/3)'s Blood Ravens have also come a long way since he arrived from Texas. The Knigh looks super rad! Jason(3/3)'s personal chapter is a regular and welcome appearance at my tables ever since I started the game. This time, they were Blood Angels.  A really cool scheme is developing under Tiboch's brush! It wouldn't be a tournament without Justin's TIE Talon! Charissa's Daemons are coming along nicely! Wow! Curtis' Eldar have really developed into quite a beautiful army indeed! Congrats on winning be...
