AdeptiCon 2014 – Sunday Randoms!

This was my favourite table at the Masters event. The buildings were so wonderfully evocative, I felt like I was having a show down in an old west town!

After the Masters event finished, Patrick was in a similar mood of craziness. He won Best Warriors of Chaos for the Warhammer Fantasy event!! That’s pretty damn impressive considering there’s probably a ton of Warriors players at that event.

This is the top painted crew at the Masters event, and well worth it – some beautiful colours on these models!

Patrick, Pip, and I went back to the hotel, he had a shower and Pip and I played some Floormachine. I’ve got some Khador models, he has some Retribution models. I’m going to try to airbrush my models to keep the painting easy and get some practice in with it. Next time I have a few hours to spend in the parkade with my airbrush…

We made arrangements to hang out with Gareth and Friends for dinner, so we stood outside waiting for a shuttle bus for a half hour. We took off to Hooters and were served by one of the worst waitresses on the planet. I know that they are probably mostly hired for their Other Assets, but this girl didn’t have enough of those to make up for how amazingly poor of a waitress she was. The three of us had a pitcher of Sangria each. 😛

On the way back I took this photo from my seat. Apparently I’m sitting between two very famous Warhammer podcast people, and Patrick says that some people have literally spent a hundred dollars to sit where I was. All I knew that was my friends were over there. 😛

This guy is doing AdeptiCon right.

That night we went back to the con hotel and found the gaming room. There is traditionally a board game night after the con is packed up, and we found it. We played a couple small games, but nothing really serious. Evil Baby Orphanage ended with me winning because two other people got bored enough to make me win. A strange game with creatures and numbers. The UK version of Cards Against Humanity, which is surprisingly different. Also surprising  when you look up and notice that 5 of the 6 other people you’re playing against are British and understand the odd UK cultural references littered throughout the game…

I don’t even remember what we did later…I think we walked back to the hotel and claimed we were going to sleep around midnight or 1, but then stayed up reading and talking until 2:30am. It turns out that in my prize pack for winning the Story Encounter was an unboxed transparent Tara starter box. I hadn’t even seen it until that night, so I started reading her cards and upgrades and trying to get a handle on how she plays. Jamie loves her, but doesn’t understand her…and from reading her, I barely understand her either. I’m looking forward to getting her on the table to Bury some folks and give them Fast…:D
