AdeptiCon 2025: Terrain Tuesday
Today we're showing off some of the work recently completed by the vaunted AdeptiCon Spray Team. To give the details on this latest round of terrain creation, we turn to Spray Team sub-commander, Andrew Gray, a talented painter and hobbyist...
"Another AdeptiCon Spray Team weekend is on the books! About a dozen guys cranked out over 600 pieces of 40K terrain (50 tables, give or take) in less than two days. My pod of three took care of 160 pieces in this scheme we're calling sandstone. Four more totes done, many more to go!
I made a quick guide on Bluesky if you're interested in our method (The Way of the Spray)."

How does one become a sprayer? Where do you make all the terrain?
I love that the post is like “look at all this beautiful terrain we are working hard on” …….last picture, all of it thrown in the bin
That's super rad! The link is broke for me though, I get an error 404 😕
AdeptiCon 2025: Event Preview
It is once again time to present a preview of the vast collection of events planned for 2025.

And what a list it is, with a record number of events available, ranging from major national tournaments to one-off event games to hobby classes taught by some of the world’s most talented instructors.
So, whether you’re planning on leading your elite squad across a cratered no-man’s land to secure the objective, ordering the last of your knights to charge an evil horde, boarding an enemy space station on a desperate rescue mission, saving New York City from an alien invasion, or just learning how to paint really good eyes, there is absolutely something for you at AdeptiCon 2025.
As a reminder, the event registration will go live on January 12th.

Looking forward to some Magic the Gathering Commander 😁
I was looking forward to the world series board game events this year. I spent all 4 days over there last year. Hoping they're added before events go live. If not, they'll be a hotel room available.
would it still be free to walk around do open play an buy things?

WIP Wednesday - Not Just Historicals Edition.
It's a bit later on Wednesday (blame the thing I have to do to fund my hobbies), but what are you working on this week? I actually have some non-historical minis to share as my buddy was working on some Tomb Kings for Old World and some Salamanders for LI. Then we have the requisite Soviets. Curse their cheap equipment and piles of material. I've just been plugging along with German infantry. Soon I will get to move on to Hungarian infantry, so trading grey for brown. ...

AdeptiCon 2025 Restaurant Recon: Oak Barrel Public House
This week's RR sees us visiting another local favorite, the Oak Barrel Public House. Our scouts tell us that the menu delivers an elevated pub fare, with burgers and artisan pizzas. However, as a few of our culinary pathfinders are avid beer snobs, we've also been advised that the Oak Barrel has a remarkable draft list, including perennial favorite, Spotted Cow.

WIP Wednesday.
What are you working on? We're 112 days out, so it's not officially crunch time yet. We're about a month out from cart launch, do you know what all you need to paint yet? We ran a Toys for Tots event last Saturday that was Christmas themed. Sadly, Santa was captured by the perfidious Warsaw Pact. Next year, NATO will have to invade Siberia to rescue him from his new workshops. Beyond that, we've been working on Soviet and German infantry for Flames of War.

Wrapping up my NCR for Fallout : Wasteland Warfare!
"What are we gonna do tonight, Brain? Same thing we do every night, Pinky: Paint some more Marvel Crisis Protocol!" My pile of shame isn't all that bad, but there is certainly room for improvement, and I seem to be more productive when there's a deadline hanging over my head.

This block only appears to be Monday the 24th to Saturday the 29th but the convention dates are the 26th to the 30th. When you change the dates it doubles the rate.

AdeptiCon 2025: Historicals Highlight
Historical gaming is back, better than ever, and now under the same roof as its sci-fi and fantasy counterparts! In the scenic Baird Ballroom, overlooking the Milwaukee skyline, we'll refight battles of old and battles that never happened.
This year will see tournaments for Flames of War, Team Yankee, Bolt Action, Silver Bayonet, Achtung Panzer, Blood & Valor, Oak & Iron, Blood & Plunder, Blood Red Skies, SAGA, and the return of De Bellis Antiquitatis (DBA), with a themed Imperial Roman event. Beyond the tournaments, we'll have lots of events games ranging from ancient battles all the way to modern air combat. It's going to be a great year and we hope you can make it. ... See MoreSee Less

WIP Wednesday Returns!
It's been awhile. Things are getting cool now and we just had some snow here, so that means it's time for WIP Wednesday to return. What have you been working on? I've been mostly focused on game prep recently, have a lot of Germans, Soviets, and Hungarians to get ready for the con. Might try to sneak some Legion Imperialis in, but got to get the work done before the fun stuff. We've done some playtesting for our scenarios which has been encouraging me to hurry up and get everything done.

Toys for Tots/Tanksgiving Team Yankee Mega Battle - Red Sleigh Down
In an attempt to end the decadent Capitalist holiday of Christmas, Warsaw Pact forces have shot Santa's sleigh down! Santa and his elves are keeping the Soviet forces at bay with their supply of ATGMs from the gift bag. NATO forces are rushing to secure him and save Christmas.
Tanksgiving is back and this year it will also be the Toys for Tots event as run by Battlefront. Bring a toy worth at least $15 to play. Bring a 125 point (dynamic points) list for Team Yankee. Armored vehicles only! Aircraft, AA, and Helos are fine, but no infantry or artillery. I'll have some armies available if you don't have one and want to play.

AdeptiCon 2025 Milwaukee Restaurant Recon: Major Goolsby's
Welcome to a new weekly AdeptiCon 2025 feature, the Restaurant Recon, where we introduce you to some of downtown Milwaukee's finest restaurants. All of these establishments are within walking distance of the new venue and each has been scouted by specially trained teams of advanced foodie operatives*. So are you ready to explore some of Brew City's most enticing offerings? Yes, chef!
Major Goolsby's has been around so long it should be Colonel Goolsby's by now! I remember frequenting this characterful sports bar back in the old Gen Con days and while the look has changed, the menu has retained the classic, no-nonsense pub fare the Major has become known for. The Cajun chicken is particularly good and this spot should definitely be a stop on your inevitable cheese curd tasting tour of Milwaukee.
Stay tuned for more recommendations over the coming weeks. And we will see you in Wisconsin soon.

Love this idea, be sure to include 3rd St. Market and Public Market
I used to go to Goolsby's every Gencon and every Bucks game I went to. It's been a few years since I've been there though. They had the best mozzarella sticks....the hand rolled kind.

'Trench Crusade' Kickstarter Now Running
Hell is empty and all the devils are here.
-William Shakespeare, 'The Tempest'
From the minds of artist, Mike Franchina, and veteran game designer, Toumas Pirinen, of Mordheim fame, 'Trench Crusade' is an aesthetically bold, alternate timeline skirmish game. Imagine the Great War, but fought between the armies of Heaven and Hell, a sort of Clive Barker's 'All Quiet on the Western Front.'
With contributions from names like John Blanche, Dave Gallagher, Paul Bonner, this should be a project to watch. ... See MoreSee Less
