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?

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...)

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

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!)
