This year, AdeptiCon welcomes two new games manufacturers to the AdeptiCon family: Battlefront Games (makers of the award-winning WWII miniature game Flames of War) and Privateer Press (makers of the increasingly popular Warmachine, Hordes, and Monsterpocalypse games).

The AdeptiCon weekend will feature a full slate of events for Flames of War, Warmachine, Hordes, and Monsterpocalypse, including a tournaments, seminars, and free demonstration games all weekend long.

Our tournaments, open gaming, and seminars will continue to set the bar in terms of fan-run excellence.

Come and become a part of the largest fan-run independent convention in the hobby. For almost a decade, AdeptiCon has been the place where miniature wargaming enthusiasts from across the country and the world can gather and enjoy the fun and excitement of a hobby that we all share. From humble beginnings to today, our motto remains the same: “For Gamers, By Gamers.”

Stay tuned for more news about AdeptiCon 2010! See you in the Windy City!

I am glad that GW turned it's back (or at least lessened it's support) of Adepticon allowing other companies to come in.

I also like they they relaxed the modeling policy. If GW does not want to run events and leave it to the Indys, fine, then we will play without their models.

Great idea GW!

Actually, with the change in focus with regards to events, I expect Games Workshop will be supporting AdeptiCon to an even greater degree. So you can look for all the traditional support from the past few years and then some : )

This is a celebration of the wargaming hobby. Games Workshop, Forgeworld, and Black Library are going to play a very big role in one heck of a wargaming weekend.

The link isn't working for me. I'm getting a DNS error.

That's odd...seems to be working fine for me. Are you logging on from anywhere out of the ordinary?

Thats when you know Privateer Press is coming up~ heh.

Cool! Do you know who the studio guest is going to be this year yet?



I just hate how they are a company whose business is to grow their hobby and they are doing less and less and want others to do all their work for them.

I think going down that path may have unforeseen consequences.

Ooooo...Space Hulk games.

Seems like I'll have to budget some time/money for March....

Man this is going to get expensive if I want to enter an event all 3 days. (and buy a fantasy army so I can play on saturday)

Quick everyone come kick my butt at adepticon!

Well, I can't say I'll kick your butt but I'm planning on making it work schedule permitting and will gladly throw down with ya.

Awesome. Since I first went in 2007, I've been back every year, and plan to go every year for the foreseeable future. It's just that great.

My preferred schedule:

Warhammer Escalation Friday (though Devastation is also cool). This gives you a comparatively relaxed three game day, while the Gladiator guys are busting their butts to squeeze in four).

40k Team Tournament Saturday. This is the big show. The main event. The biggest (by number of players, anyway) 40k tournament in the world.

40k Championship Sunday. A good ol’ three game RT-style tournament, with Adepticon’s sweet missions, and a chance to show your individual chops.

I’m really tempted to try to squeeze in a painting / modeling event in around that, too. Maybe the 10pm Friday “stepping up your painting” seminar. Hrmm…

Get ready for multiple 4000 point "salamanders" lists.

Odd, I signed up two days ago.

Hmmm... Fantasy Escalation or Devastation? Decisions, decisions.

Check the events list - those WFB games are not on the schedule. Friday night is the 'Size Matters' WFB game (sort of Fantasy Gladiator) and 2 Warbands sessions.

2999, eh? Interesting...

Should be fun!

I'm thinking BFG on Friday, 40K TT Saturday with Ozy, Reecius, and Whitedragon(DD2 FTW!), and Fantasy TT on Sunday.

Hmmm... indeed. Well now I have a whole bunch of new decisions. Warbands, 2,999 game (do I even have the points for that???) or BFG?

Oh yeah, DD2 FTW! If we beat DD1, do we get to keep their bowling shirts?
