Our friends and AdeptiCon exhibitors, Collins Epic Wargames, are launching their new 6mm science fiction wargame on Gamefound this week. They provided attendees with a little preview at last year's convention, to much acclaim. The background, gameplay, and models all drew a lot of attention and we are very much looking forward to a successful campaign and a bright future for salvage ops.

The crew at Noir 1933 is close to a wrap on their tabletop RPG Kickstarter. From their campaign:
"Heroes rise from neon-lit jazz clubs, crowded warrens, and hidden speakeasies, while the world buckles under economic collapse and the shadow of fascism. These are the protectors of the downtrodden, fighting in the shadows of a world that refused to see them. Forget the legends you know: help us reconstruct these forgotten histories and fight for justice in a world on the brink."
AdeptiCon Announces: Our Friends at Old Guard Games & Badger Games Launch "En Garde" YouTube Channel!
Old Guard Games has launched their new YouTube channel with an interesting movie trailer style walk-thru of AdeptiCon 2026. In addition, there are videos about their incredible MIlwaukee store, and the first in a series of interviews with gaming personalities called 'En Garde' featuring rules writer extraordinaire Joseph McCullough.
Many more interesting subjects are planned for the coming months ,including an insiders guide to Milwaukee planned for the month before AdeptiCon 2027
It is with great sadness and profound respect that we mark the passing of John Blanche, legendary artist and creator of worlds. Father of grimdark, his influence cannot be overstated and he has left an indelible mark on a generation of artists and fans. His work will live on, we have no doubt, and we offer our condolences to his family and many friends. The galaxy is a little smaller without him.
Summer is right around the corner, and we hope you’ve got some appropriate activities planned, from backyard grilling to baseball games, to family vacations that don’t take ten years, a cyclops battle, and avoiding sea monsters and singing duos to get home from. We hope your summer odysseys are more fun and relaxation and less ’wrath of the gods’ kind of stuff.
Meanwhile, after a record-setting Year Two in Milwaukee, here at AdeptiCon HQ, we’re back at it. Planning has once again begun and we’ve officially confirmed some key dates we’re, as always, excited to share with you.

Happy Monday! This morning we wanted to share the latest Kickstarter campaign from Dave Taylor Miniatures. Dave, a long-time friend of the convention, frequent painting judge, event organizer, and founding Spray Team member, presents the latest in his popular 'The Art Of...' series.

In this latest Warhammer Community post is a great video review and break-down, by winning pieces, of AdeptiCon's Golden Demon competition. Some truly stunning work graced our convention this year. ... See MoreSee Less

AdeptiCon 2026 Army Showcase Gallery from Manifest Studios
The AdeptiCon Army Showcase has become one of the convention’s most prestigious and exciting events. Hundreds of attendees walked through the great hall to bear witness to this year’s fantastic display of hobby talent, craftsmanship, and story-telling. From the bloody fields of France during the Hundred Years War, to the dusty streets of Tatooine, to the warp-twisted daemonworlds of the 41st Millenia, to Saruman’s dark tower of Orthanc, this year’s Team Tournament armies took us to some amazing places, some familiar and some completely alien.
The talented team at Manifest Studios captured this year’s collection of armies brilliantly, and they’ve shared their photos here. So if you missed this year’s Showcase, now’s your chance to view the thousands of hours of work put into these armies and displays. If you walked through the Showcase, here’s your chance for a second look.
Finally, it’s never too early to start planning your Team’s 2027 army composition and display…
