Usually there is a GW presentation at Adepticon and I was wondering if anything good came of it.

It's hearsay, but didn't the GW rep cancel?

Gav Thorpe was there. I stalked him from the sidelines.

The slideshow previewed War of the Ring and the IG codex. Reaver with flyers won the Gladiator. Chaos won the Team tourney (a few lash, a few oblits, a land raider, berzerkers, abbadon, a few noise marines, a few lesser daemons, etc...)

The real question is, Did you make eye contact?

With which part?

Goatboy from BoLS won the sportsmanship award. Wow..

Christian Flores (thetinman on here), a player from the original Dakka Dakka club, now also playing with the Cold Steel Mercs, won the 40k Championship.

My team won the "Team Spirit" award, but Allen and myself had already left for dinner with our ladies and missed the actual award presentation. It was still pretty cool though, I didn't realize how much stuff they give you if you win an award!

The beer glass is prolly my favorite.

Aww, hell, you were there, MegaDave? I would have liked to have met you.

Brian Poole from the WC won the "Stegadon Huntin'" award!

Woot Grats to your team what kind of stuff do they give?

Looks like we owe you a round.

Yup yup! I played in the LoTR tournament on friday and the 40KTeam tourney on saturday. Yeah, maybe we can meet up next year and sink a few drinks!

Woot Grats to your team what kind of stuff do they give?

We got the award itself, the inquisitor sketchbook, apoxie sculpt power pack, minis, Howard hues paint, coupons to Dragonforge.com and the adepticon beer glass.

Looks like we owe you a round.

Lemme know when, I'll be happy to accept!

Everyone that played blood bowl got something...at least it seemed that way hehe.
Brian White from WARFAN in Georgia won the 40K invitational
Walter Langendorf from WARFAN won one of the Fantasy tournaments (whichever one was on friday)
Joe Johnson from WARFAN and BLADE and BOLTER BOYZ won best appearance in 40K invitational

The team tourny was a blast and I am really looking forward to that next year!!!

I just realized after talking to another BoLS member that I was talking to "goatboy" all weekend and didn't realize it. He was awesome, I don't understand why best sport is a surprise.

The goatee throws people off.

I don't think this is particularly new, but I the GW rep did mention that there will be lots of the new tank variants coming out this summer. That's all he said, but sounds like good news to me.

(Disclaimer: I can't keep up with every post in the IG threads in News and Rumors, so apologies if this is a repeat. I hadn't heard it before.)

Our team; Opposing Force, won best Heretical Army. It was an armful of minis (Several crusher box sets, plaguebearer box sets, letter box sets, etc), free paints, etc etc. Overwhelming prize support, not to mention the free swag. Plus, I had the fortune to play Iorek and his terrifically painted Tau in Combat Patrol. We came close to trading blows but the judges split us up at the last moment.

/Good thing too, as I think he would have taken me.

Congrats Joe! Got pics? Your armies always look great.

Yup that was me. Fauhawx and all. But it was great meeting everyone there and having a blast. The games where great, the swag was rad, and the painting was awesome. Good stuff and I will be back again next year.

And yes the goatee is always in force. If I shave it off, I lose like 5 years and look like I should be a wee child heh.

News? How about all the RTTs are CANCELLED!



Also...

The GW slideshow was nice, but not very exciting, mostly all the same IG images and war of the ring stuff internet junkies already knew about. See the IG threads for all the same stuff...

Only dodges on Bits, Roughrider models etc. No real content or news.
Ah well, was looking forward to Vegas, loved last year!

My Team:

The Rocky Mountain Cavaliers

won best imperial team with our all bike Whitescars army! A very great honor on the mighty field of Adepticon, so many armies to see! Incredible!

84 (?) teams in the TT. WOW!

Grats on the Sportsmanship award Thomas!

For the record, you probably won't have more fun than playing against Thomas ^_^. Even when he's smashing your face in, you have a BLAST!

Wish I could have gone along! Maybe next year!

So it looks like Stelek was right - the tournament was horrible, it was wall-to-wall TFG players, it hurt the hobby, and generally cast a bad light on 40K as a whole.


Oh... no wait... it didn't. Once again we have endless reports of people having a great time and not a single bad story. Wish I could've been there for the team tourney - that one looks like a great way to make four linked armies with heaps of fluff to tie them together.

^ Awesome.

Seriously?

Well, I have a bit of bad news...

The house was really pressing hard for no outside food for some reason, couldn't tell if it was contractual, a boose issue, or motivated by some other thing.

Food from the hotel was available at the right times and decently priced, so it seemed... od?

(For the record BEST LOCATION EVER! Movie theatre 2 blocks away, 12 restaurants in walking distance, great hotel rate, comfy beds, adequate space, good lighting, nice layout etc. Yay Westin!)

I think that the Adepticon aftermath is when Dakka is at its happiest, collectively speaking.

Quick GW, release the IG codex NOW while Dakka is still happy from Adepticon!!
