Day two out of four. Friday is one of the two meatiest days of Adepticon. <\/p>\n
The main hall is a frenzy, many hundreds of games going on at the same time. I think there were in excess of 800 attendees this year.<\/p>\n
The day began at the break of dawn. I had expected to sleep in, but even the luxurious hotel beds were not the match of my beloved couch at home, and so with sledg-hammered back I arose to prepare myself. I had a breakfast of instant oatmeal, made with hot water from the coffee maker.<\/p>\n
I found that both Joseph and Renn had arisen early as well. And Sarah had been up even earlier, and to the pool to boot! We got a few figures out on our modest table , including the Oceanic Eldar.<\/p>\n
The Adepticon main hall was packed to the gills for the Gladiator, which is the main tournament played in teams of four. As usual, about 80% 40K and 20% Fantasy. If you look at the armies a much higher percent of the Warhammer Fantasy armies are painted to the highest standard. We took a TON of pictures, but I forgot to bring a USB cord so I can\u2019t download them, I\u2019m going to try and find one Saturday.<\/p>\n
We spent the bulk of the day just looking at armies and shooting the bull with the various people coming by for a visit.<\/p>\n
Numerous other various items forthcoming on video.<\/p>\n
In the evening, we went for a swim, hot tub, sauna. Ah, and a movie. We watched Push. The reviews were terrible, but I think it\u2019s definitely worth watching.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
