Combat patrol at Adepticon is quickly over shadowed by bigger things like the Grand Tournament and the Team Tournament. Heck, I even read more about the Gladiator event than anything related to Combat Patrol! This is really unfair to the Combat Patrol …
Going in to the 4th round at Adepticon things were going great for my first real ‘GT’ experience – too great. I had racked up 3 wins against 3 great opponents and in facing Necrons, Tau and Eldar I had faced a slew of really fun armies and avoide…
Going into the third round I was excited to be positioned where I was and thankful for playing both Necrons and Tau, but my odds of dodging Grey Knights were diminishing with each passing round. Bracing myself for the inevitable thrashing at the hands …
After completing my first game against my Necron opponent it was time for lunch, basically a 45 minute break for all 250 some odd players in the room. I quickly found Tim and found out that his game didn’t go as well as mine. Looking around we decid…
With some delay, time to tell the saga of our 4th game from the Team Tournament, in which Vince’s Blood Angels joined forces with my Thunderwolves once again to wreak havoc upon the unfortunate ones.
After game 3 ended, we were definitely feeling mu…
The Adepticon Grand Tournament starts at 9 am on the schedule, but in reality that is check-in and army display preparation. So if you get down to the grand hall at about 8:30 AM Friday morning and people are milling about turning in army lists and che…
.. in which Skarvald the Troll-faced and his Thunderwolf Retinue reap a great tally and once again bask in the glory that is victory, even if taken from the dying hands of fellow Space Wolves.
Whoa, holy foreshadowing, Batman!
As stated in m…
Extra! Extra! Due to popular demand Brian was kind enough to let me know that he has in his possession a bunch of extra Special Operaitons: KILLZONE tokens and cards, as reviewed here a few weeks ago. They are quite literally hot off the press and ar…
Simply getting to Adepticon with army in tact is an experience all in itself. I had my army figured out months ahead of time and spent the money on a Battle Foam case, this proved to be almost a requirement. I flew to Chicago with a bag for my clothes,…
Hurr durr, Skarvald, you’re taking forever with these battle reports!
*sigh* But.. but.. writing about losing to Grey Knights is not fun to write about OR even read.. ;_;
OH, GET ON WITH IT!
Fine.
After suffering defeat at the hands of Team …
Team Tournament Time!
For the third year in a row I participated in the Adepticon Warhammer 40,000 Team Tournament, this time with a very different team. I still find it hard to believe that we managed to organize everything with even less prepa…
Yeah, I know, I know, I’m slacking, but I’m still relaxing after what was an amazing convention and (just this weekend) my 22nd Birthday! Time for some more coverage..

Adepticon 2012, Part II: About KILLZONE a…
This is the first in a series of articles I will be writing about my experience at Adepticon 2012, from the perspective of a veteran of the game for almost two decades – that had never had the opportunity to attend a large event. How do you make it so …
While I’m still recuperating from the glory that was Adepticon let me share with you the triumphs and tribulations of a friend of mine who for a second year in a row decided to rub elbows with some of the greatest wargamers at the Warhammer 40,000 Ch…
Huzzah! I survived my third Adepticon in a row!
And as always, my oh my, what a long, strange trip it’s been, my friends. Yet again I have to say that this has been the best convention I have ever been to and certainly the best Adepticon for me and I…
I’m sure that a lot of you already know that there’s going to be a Special Operations: KILLZONE event at Adepticon 2012 and that it will be ran by Brain from A Gentleman’s Ones and the duo from Wolves for the Wolf God: Skarvald the Troll-faced (yours t…
In what is probably going to be the very first, official review of Brian’s (you know, the glorious man from A Gentleman’s Ones?) ultra-mega-spiffy supplement cards for Special Operations: KILLZONE, I’m going to cover the cards and show you some cool s…
Ho-hummm! No worries, ladies and gentlemen – I am still alive. Just been busy with live and a super-secret-project-which-I-will-reveal-to-you-in-a-second-or-two..
Let me just tell you what I’ve been doing/working on lately, then..
The battle rep…
I know you like to guess and I know it’s been deader than a Thunder hammer’d Necron too far away from a Ressurection Orb in here, so here it is.. –> My next army and more importantly – a glimpse of what I will be bringing to Adepticon 2012 for the …
