AdeptiCon 2025 Terrain Update: Star Wars Legion and Shatterpoint
"With all due respect, General, if someone comes to our home, they better be carrying a big blaster." - CT-7567 Captain Rex
From the barren dunes of Tatooine’s Jundland Wastes to the bustling avenues of Coruscant’s entertainment districts, from the vast oceans of Kamino to the Syndicate moons of the Outer Rim, the battlefields of the ‘Star Wars’ universe are a diverse collection of environments, each with their own challenges and dangers.
With AdeptiCon 2025 now just over three weeks away, we continue our series of 2025 terrain previews, with today’s focus on the various efforts we’ve directed towards the AdeptiCon ‘Star Wars’ tables. The ‘Star Wars’ terrain tables have seen a lot of activity during the past several years with the growth of both Star Wars: Legion and Star Wars: Shatterpoint. For 2025, AdeptiCon has big things planned for both systems!
We certainly don’t do this kind of massive terrain production alone. There’s no way we can get tables planned, built, painted, and staged without help from a vibrant and engaged community. A special thanks goes to Nick Bodnar, Matt Evans, Seth Ferrel, and Joshua Hale, along with myriad others in the community, for helping to meet our table needs.
Also to note none of this is possible without the inspired and innovative terrain designs from companies like War Scenery, Imperial Terrain, Dark Realms and Multiverse.
Additional thanks for the invaluable support from our partners Atomic Mass Games, Monument Hobbies, TABLEWAR, Grey Matter Gaming, Deepcut Studio, GameMat.eu, Badger Air-Brush Company, and The Army Painter whose product support literally made this effort possible.
And, once again, props to the members of the AdeptiCon Terrain and Spray Teams (Deeds Not Words) for all the hard work. There has been a massive effort in 2025 to expand and improve the overall terrain aesthetics and gaming experience.
The images here are just a small sampling of the new terrain. To take a deeper dive, of all the terrain efforts check out the link below for a better view of a galaxy far, far away…

If you have selected to have your badge shipped. You would be restricted from adding any additional merchandise online and would need to get it onsite. It is a timing issue to get the badge print run done, shipped and delivered we have an earlier cutoff date, and merchandise is printed on the back of the badge for pickup.
Is it possible to buy if you are not coming this year.
Will pick up when we get there for sure

AdeptiCon 2025: Registration Closes in One Week
"Time is a luxury you don't have, Admiral."
-Khan Noonien Singh
Actually, unlike the crew of NCC-1701, you still have a whole luxurious week, but the sentiment is relevant. Time is running out, so if you're still on the proverbial fence about attending this historic celebration, now is the time for decisiveness. If you're joining us at AdeptiCon 2025, you still have a chance to modify or finalize your plans. In either case, we look forward to seeing you in Milwaukee.

AdeptiCon 2025: The AdeptiCup Army Showcase
From the war-torn worlds of the 41st millennium to the red fields of Wesetros, from the beaches of Normandy to Midtown Manhattan, forces are gathering. Twelve-meter tall ‘mechs power up, while the war-horns of Rohan call the hosts to muster at Dunharrow…
The vast and varied armies, teams, and warbands that clash in AdeptiCon’s Team Tournaments represent the pinnacle of the tabletop miniatures hobby. The results of months of effort are displayed at AdeptiCon in an unrivalled presentation and the best of the best are invited to exhibit their skill in the AdeptiCup Army Showcase.
The ultimate prize in this spectacular competition is the AdeptiCup, a travelling trophy for the ‘Best in Show’ display in the Army Showcase. Judged by a renowned group of hobbyists, the AdeptiCup is a prize unmatched in its glory! Does your team have the skill, dedication, and drive to make it to the final level?
The Army Showcase viewing begins at 8:00 PM at the Baird Center Grand Ballroom Foyer (1st Floor) Saturday, March 29th, 2025. Don’t miss your chance to witness this historic display, sure to long be remembered in the annals of AdeptiCon.

Incredible! Love to see the Showcase expanding to other Team events beyond 40k and AoS.
So excited for this year! Can’t wait to show off what we’ve made.
This is probably always one of my favorite spectacles of the event. The amount of work and detail that hobbyists put into these display; no pieces are of art is simply amazing.

WIP Wednesday - Sick Day Edition
This still counts, yesterday was a sick day and it’s a holiday week anyways. Hopefully I’ll have all the bugs out of me and won’t get food poisoning again this year.
Anyways, last weekend was the Great Soviet Paint-A-Thon as I worked my way through a bunch of Soviet vehicles. What have you been working on?
I also got some playtesting in along with setting up a new workstation, forever immortalized clean as it won’t be in a few weeks.

Oh man, it's getting closer to the con and I'm still painting. At least I have a five day weekend to get caught up. I've been cranking away on German and Hungarian forces for Flames. This weekend is the great Soviet paint-a-thon where I see if I can paint 60 Soviet vehicles over a weekend. What are you working on now? Are you panicking yet?

I've long since finished my army for the con this year, but I've started work on a Horus Heresy force I'm hoping to bring next year!
Finished my crew and rigging a ship for Blood and Plunder!
Spent a week painting some R2 Romanian tanks that were 3D printed. Went to apply the first wash and the paint wiped right off. Apparently I needed to clean these first. 🤬🤬🤬🤬

AdeptiCon 2025: The Dawn of a New Era
AdeptiCon 2025 has smashed event registration numbers and will be the biggest AdeptiCon yet! This year’s convention will be a historic celebration of the hobby, with a record-breaking offering of tournaments, event games, classes, and seminars. No matter where your particular interests lie or what game your sights are focused on, the AdeptiCon 2025 collection of events has something for you.
And all of this is happening at a new, larger, state of the art venue. The Baird Center in downtown Milwaukee presents the convention with new possibilities and opportunities and provides the perfect space to host this year’s event.
AdeptiCon’s history, like those epics of old, tells a story and each year a new chapter is added. Friends, old and new, share tales of glorious victories and ignominious defeats, in an annual tradition of camaraderie, competition, and a shared love of the hobby. 2025 represents a new era for the convention, a new book in the saga.
We are very much looking forward to sharing this new chapter with you and we will see you in March!

Are the advanced badges already sold out?
Will there still be free admission for the vendor area?
So, I’m hearing rumblings on another FB group that the Baird Center has a pretty strict carry in policy. I know that the Schaumburg venue also had a “policy”, but that was quite loose and a blind eye was largely turned by the venue. I’ve heard the Baird is different, including actual checkpoints that are monitored and enforced. Is there anything that AdeptiCon can tell us about what the restrictions will be, what if anything is allowed, and what alternatives there will be on site? I don’t want to show up with my usual provisions to get turned away and have yo figure out what to do with them if I can’t bring them in.
