We flew 15,500km for Warhammer 

glad you made it back safe and sound- it was so great to finally meet you three! :-) I'll make it to australia one of these days...

I completely forgot that you guys were there. I freaked out when I saw you all at the Bushido booth😂

Hey all! Thanks for the shoutout at 24:57 ! It was really a treat getting to visit with you all. Also, glad you like the sculpt I did for Victoria this year - 21:39 Hopefully you will be able to make it next time too, Cheers! 🙂

30 min video from the TT crew as I'm varnishing my completed kickstarter? The crafting gods do deliver!!!

Adepticon should be thought of more as a trade show than a convention. It's primarily for companies to show off their products.

I agree that in a lot of these things if you are not part of the "club" you are an outsider to be more or less ignored. Seeing that it happens to a huge youtube like yours as well as to us smaller guys makes me feel a bit better.

you summed it up perfectly

In personally dont paint minis or play table top games, however i absolutely love your content. All of your commentary and all of your extraordinary skills and creating amd painting models keeps me coming back for me.

It was so awesome to hang out with you all, hopefully more America adventures soon!

Corvus Belli did, and they had a Q&A with a real human. it was really engaging and well done.

Being Canadian, I often forget that a lot of people have no experience with snow.

12:16 Hey that's my goofy self thinking we were posing for a photo! 🤣😂 Glad y'all had a good time overall! I've found there are so many things to do at Adepticon, if you don't schedule hangouts or dinners you're going to miss a lot of connections, so planning and pre-arranging is a big part of a good con experience. Also, you have the best conversations hanging out with people in the lobby at 2 am.

I'm really glad you guys got to experience it! It would be amazingly cool to see a sponsored booth, or something set up just for TTT at a future con! I wouldn't have any choice but to make the trip down then! I've also mentioned this before, but since it was asked for - I would absolutely love more vloggy / chill content. I like to paint work on creative things along with videos most of the time, and vlog / podcast style is the best for it!

It was great meeting your crew this year at Adepticon. It can feel like drinking from the firehose on your first visit. There is just so much to see and so many faces that some of us regulars we tend to forget how big it is. The even has grown so much over the years to what you are seeing now. Hopefully next time you get a chance to attend you can bring a model for the Meat Grinder. We had to tone it back a little this year but next year it will me an official event and we look forward to grinding a few minis with you. Thanks also for showing me the next release for Space Bears. I can't wait to get those on my printer. Thanks again from the Meat Grinder Crew - Anonymous Tabletop and Out of the Basement

Great Video! Loved meeting you and hanging out for a bit at Olive Garden etc. Great to see you got home safely :)

Those dark elves are actually the crew for the old bolt thrower artillery. I have a few I've painted up.

Very nice to see what other Australians think of this. Wish I could have gone.

Ran into y'all at the Golden Demon cases but didn't want to be overly chatty and a pain. What you describe sounds a lot like my experience, as a first timer and non content creator, of not wanting to monopolize time or shoehorn your way into other people's planned spaces. Met some great folks, definitely going again.

I can say that i share your experience with going to a con. The first time you go, the con itself is the event for you, but without a plan, that isnt as enjoyable. When you find events within the con that you want to participate in, thats when the con comes alive.

I felt similarly when I went to my first adepticon (and I live only 5 minutes from the convention). Your second time, you know what to expect and you should make specific plans. It's a long convention to just "hang around" once you see everything.

I love all your videos, but I don't think I've ever watched a more relatable one. I had somewhat similar feelings when I went (with my son, daughter-in-law, and grandson) to my favorite sports team's social 2 weeks ago.

Yes, I am absolutely up for more podcasty videos from you!

My understanding as the swap meet has changed to one night only and it’s at the other hotel. In the past it’s been amazing, but I’ve missed it last few years as we’ve gone out to eat that night. Bitz Guy store is pretty solid.

Thanks for the interesting view. As a European, always wondered what these massive American Cons are like! If you do go to the UK, you should totally align to be in London on the Salute weekend. It is much smaller than Adepticon, and only 1 day, but still a great chance to meet vendors and buy minis!

It was really cool getting to meet you guys! Hope you had a lot of fun!

It was great to see y'all for a couple minutes. Excellent recap and I dig the informal vlog style.

Don't worry, that routine will be hugely changed and fresher for many as it will change venues to Milwaukee next year. Although it may grow even larger.

Hype to see all the projects from your goblins horde, Jens Bloodborne SOB is a dream army.

Nice format! Really nice to go through the journey with you guys 😊 much like the painting/project wip, actually.

you guys sitting down with eric and sam to paint would have been awesome. im so glad you guys were there to represent us :D

I would love more of these videos. its always amazeing to hear such things.

Heck! You guys going and me accidentely seeing yall, was the highlight of my frigging year xD after a long rough year that was soo awesome!

god damnit im blind i love your channel im the guy at 7:58 passing you lmao i would have bought you guys a beer!

Jen I'd love to see you painting the Queen and magic woman in a video 😍

Thanks for the video Team, it would be great to see a video of what Byron from Artis Opus passed on to you about drybrushing techniques?

This was an enjoyable video. You three do a great job!

It was great getting to meet you guys- definitely would set up a game or two with you next year if you like- I can bring some extra minis 😊

Fort Wapple, named after James and Cathy Wapple, the painting/hobby space that grew out of their love of painting is a great place to meet up and see everyone. The bits swap used to be so much larger with them dedicating an evening to person to person swaps. Hopefully they will advertise it more for 2025.

My games store carries those brushes! I've been thinking about the wolf brushes for the longest time I hope you give them a proper review! Glad you all had a good time though!

This is probably the best review of Adeptacon I have seen. I am not surprised that the con culture is different than what we have in Australia. You do need to go to Nottingham and the Lead Belt, if only to worship the goddess Sugs. Surprised to see Wargods get a look in. My mate was big in the original Aegygtus game, and got me to play one CanCon event, but they really need a new version of the rules.

I'd like to see a video or maybe just a short explaining some of the things y'all learned about dry brushing while there, sounds useful!

love you guys and your content ❤️

My favourite part of Adepticon is hearing about new miniature companies. And then going onto their websites and perusing the infinite number of miniatures I want - but will probably never acquire.

I had a minor heart attack in the commercial hall when I saw y'all pass by. I was over at Malifaux getting a trial game in and looked up as you all walked by. Would've come over and said hi but I was a bit engrossed in the game unfortunately XD

Perhaps Dave could turn that special event kroot into a very special Sakura Sept kroot

Love the coverage!

Bushido? Bushido! BUSHIDOOO!!! Its a really-really good game, arguably one of the best skirmish games! It deserves more reckognition. I hope you will paint the models on the channel and make a battle report too!

I did enjoy the Vlog, look forward to seeing the next one... I really enjoyed the part where you showed us what you purchased. Also when you go to Warhammer World in 2026, let us all know, as there's a lot of Brits that watch your channel..

Great coverage!

I live an hour from adepticon and idk if I'd even go back so I definitely don't blame you guys for not wanting to make that hike again

I've gotten an entire army of Enclave Troops from the Modiphius Fallout Wasteland Warfare line(minus the Hellfire set, but that's because of a funny story) and yeah they're a fantastic quality sculpt with a very straightforward rules that anyone trying to go from playing Pathfinder or D&D and wanting to dip their toes into Wargaming, I couldn't recommend picking that game up any higher. It is the perfect in-between of "Dungeon and Dragon Rules" and "40k Rules"

I wish y'all had checked out BPRE 28MM while you were there! Such a blast of a killteam-esque game to play.

19:55 "Stay Duned"

Good to meet you lot, and to have other commonwealthers to complain about America with 😂

Those dark elf corsairs at 10:00 are the crew for the dark elf bolt thrower.

Dang you guys were only four hours away. Now I wish I had drove up.

BUSHIDO!!! I love that game so much, I've been playing it for over a decade now, its gorgeous models and in my opinion the best skirmish rules out there. And yeah I loved this video, was perfect while painting.

Good vid guys, loved the casual chat. Make sure you drop into Arc in 3 weeks ✌

UK Games Expo is great. Would be awesome to meet up there!

The second trip is always the best. Next time you know what to expect and you will have a better plan. Enjoy them while they last. You never know when the quality of the conventions will drop, so go as much and try to enjoy the whole process next time.

Hi, I ran into the team multiple times... and you were kind ... saying hi. It was my 1st Adepticon. Well next con... I will happily take you out for a pint or 2. Joe from Minnesota

"Demigod of Artemis" Bit eyebrow raising that.

I feel a fool for missing this, i live just over 2 hours away by car, and could have easily went. I just didnt know it was happening. Next year, it is!

I went with some friends in 2017 and i got that bubble feeling, too. It seems like you really need to schedule stuff or know where things are going down before you go. Also, a lot of the free events are kinda disorganized. It was cool overall but i feel like the next time you go will probably be better.

Hey, maybe actually seeing snow will help improve your terrain snow effects! Also it is refreshing to see an Adepticon video that talks about the down sides of the event, of which there are many.

If you are coming to the UK to visit Warhammer world. I would suggest booking around the same time as UK Games Expo. Held at the NEC in Birmingham.

Love the vid guys

I may hve almost bought those exact same dark ef corsair models, they are actually the dark elf repeater bolt thrower crew! Also i think that wood ef is old old alarielle!

Great informative video

loved the video. really wish i could of went this year but had other things going on.

I think you guys were looking for the same experience as jay from Eons of Battle. Soaking in the atmosphere, talking to people, buy dumb shit and geek out. Thats my dream collab to be honest

GW doesn't have much to say because they don't have anything to actually say. Thank You for bumping Modiphius. One of my favorite companies right now. Love their fames, both RPG and Minis games.

19:49 WHAT?! 😂

I bought the Wolf bristle brushes 2 weeks ago and they are really good in my opininon. And for a very, very good Price. 40€ for 10 brushes from 000 up to 7 is insane. High quality in every way.

now, Im doubly sad I didn't go, would have been great to meet you guys!

The victorian model is awsome

It was fun to watch😊

Speaking of Modiphius, my friends and I are playing a Star Trek Adventures game and it’s a hell of a lot of fun. The books are really nice too.

So happy you guys had a good time at adepticon. I played dark elves as a kid when i got in to fantasy in the early 90s , still got all the pewter once somewhere. And kimera does that with there models, do them i several sizes, 200mm, 75mm and 38mm. And if you think the States are expenciv then you should not come to europe, we are much more expenciv than the US

You go to America, you get massively underwhelmed, alienated and put off... happens to everyone.

I'll probably never get to go, but I think I'd feel a lot of what you experienced. Like many things, you really need to meet up with friends there to go and have good times together. While I'd like to buy lots of different/peculiar things, when I see the prices of what people show from their Adepticon loot bags, it really doesn't seem like you're getting good deals at all. I'd have to really want the item for what I see people paying. I think signing up for some painting classes would be a good use of time, as well as making an effort to try different game demos. I like the idea of an additional reveal show where hobby companies and game designers have 5-10 minutes to show off their best new things.

Gosh, I'd love to see some kind of collab with EoB!

Did I see ya’ll at the Space and Rocket Center? I hope you both enjoyed it.

I liked the vlog!

would love to see the assault launcher painted in the traitor guard style

TTT Con...you wouldn't have to travel anywhere! :)

Ah yes, the Bits Guy. He’s out of Toledo Ohio if I’m not mistaken. He’s at nearly every con in the states.

I’d absolutely love to see a golden deamon journey from all 4 of you if possible yes jazza too Adeptacon or the one at warhammer world

Next to the golden demon showcase was the 30k room! If you all want some beers or to meet some of the great community leaders in America please stop by! In terms of the beer just go in the room and ask for Joe 🤝

I got one of those Thousand Sons Marines, had it for pretty much 30 years, still unpainted 😆

you get the same thing at cancon, just half the size

Like your video and Chris Fitzpatrick is the sculptor of the Dark Elf and Dark Elf minis. As such, I issue a Painting Challenge to paint the DemiGod of Artemis in silk clothes! #CheersAndHappiness

Those wolf brushes better check their kickstarter drama history.

Wolf Hair Brush (harmless) SIIIICCCCK

Yes i liked the relaxed hobby video. I would watch more

can i use basic acrylic paint for minis or does it have to speciffically be paints like the cathedral brand?

Sounds like maybe we need a Table Top Time Expo....

Can you guys kitbash the Eldar pony knight?

"America is expensive" Yeaaahhh that's a huge problem actually not sure what's gonna happen there but glad you enjoyed your visit!

Envy, Envy, Envy over here.
