AdeptiCon 2025: Terrain Tuesday

Today were 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 were calling sandstone. Four more totes done, many more to go! 

I made a quick guide on Bluesky if youre 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 😕

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.

A little sad that all of the big Team events are all on the same day. Guess that means we can only play in one this year. 😒😔

WIP Wednesday - Not Just Historicals Edition. 

Its 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. Ive just been plugging along with German infantry. Soon I will get to move on to Hungarian infantry, so trading grey for brown.Image attachmentImage attachment+5Image attachment

Working on my storage/display shelves in my game room. 2 are up, 3 more to go.

Wouldn't LI be historical as it is set in the 30K lore?

Painted a Warlock for one of the owners of my flgs.

WIP Wednesday.

What are you working on? Were 112 days out, so its not officially crunch time yet. Were 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, weve 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.

Why is Adepticon not listed on the Baird Center Events page?

Michael Boothroyd if you haven’t figured out a solution yet.

Looks 🔥 😎 absolutely love the work done

Can we still submit events?

Is this an event I can buy a day pass to, or do I have to commit to being part of the tour/VIP pricing?

WIP Wednesday Returns!

Its been awhile. Things are getting cool now and we just had some snow here, so that means its time for WIP Wednesday to return. What have you been working on? Ive 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. Weve done some playtesting for our scenarios which has been encouraging me to hurry up and get everything done.

Sculpting a few conversion pieces. Fixing that immobile-turret-in-a-unit-that-moves issue.

Almost finished with a Land Raider for my Heresy World Eaters.

Finishing up putting together a Green Tide and a Dread Mob Army. Then it's time to paint about 100 Boyz

Excellent ❤️

As a person who has been to miniature gaming events in about 10 different countries, I’d like to say that Adepticon is the best one. Respect to y’all for constantly making it better. And thank you for all of your hard work. Much love!

Is it still free/no-badge-needed to tour the exhibit hall?
