Adepticon 2010

Updates here (reply below) by Adepticon_Info.

Greetings from the Adepticon Council!

 

Adepticon 2010

 

It's been almost three months since Adepticon 2009, the largest independent convention in the Games Workshop miniature wargaming hobby. Almost 1,000 people attended Adepticon this last April and took part in the fun and excitement that has made Adepticon the standard for well-run miniature wargaming conventions.

 

Since April, we've been really excited about the direction that Adepticon is going, and we look forward to continuing our growth and expansion while living up to the excellence that has made Adepticon the "Can't Miss" event of the year for hobbyists across the world.

Coming in March 2010 - Adepticon 2010

 

Mark your calendars and start making your travel plans, because on March 26th-28th, Adepticon will return to the Chicagoland area! All the events that you know and love will be back, including our renown tournaments, demos, open gaming, hobby seminars, and the Rogue Demon competition.

 

In addition, stay tuned for more exciting announcements about Adepticon 2010.

 

Once again, the Westin Lombard Yorktown Center will host Adepticon, with great rates for all Adepticon attendees. Rooms will be available at the special Adepticon rate of $114 USD per night. This special group rate is only available to Adepticon attendees, and can be reserved through this link.

Help Make Adepticon Happen!

 

Our motto is "For Gamers, By Gamers," and we need your help to make Adepticon 2010 happen. Behind the scenes, dozens of dedicated volunteers make sure that Adepticon lives up our high expectations. Volunteers do everything from running and staffing events, setting up and breaking down the hundreds of gaming tables, building our world-class terrain layouts, marketing and spreading the word about Adepticon, and much more.

 

Can you offer one day out of the Adepticon 2010 weekend to help make this event a success?

 

Whether you're interested in helping out during the Adepticon 2010 weekend, or want to help during the year to bring Adepticon together, we want you to join our team! Physical location is (mostly) not an issue! No matter where you reside, you can do your part to help make this amazing event come together.

Some of you may be familiar with Andrew’s work at Templecon (http://www.templecon.org/10/). Whether you play Warmachine, Hordes, Grind, or Monsterapocalypse…AdeptiCon will have a Privateer Press event on the 2010 schedule for you.

AdeptiCon INAT FAQ v3.0

http://www.adepticon.org/wpimages/inat.jpg


The INAT FAQ v3.0 has just been completed and is ready for download! This newest revision to the INAT (Independent National Tournament) FAQ includes a fully revamped section covering the newest 40K codex: The Imperial Guard!

This version does not contain clarifications for the upcoming Space Wolves codex as it has not been officially released yet and the plan is to give each new codex a month or two in order to uncover and collate any pertinent questions that GW has not directly addressed.

The biggest change to this version of the FAQ is the removal of the ‘appendices’, which covered the Apocalypse and Imperial Armor supplements. As those rules are used in very, very few tournaments besides AdeptiCon, the appendix will now be a separate download which will be released a few months prior to the convention.

As always, any questions/rulings that have been altered from the 2.2 version have been denoted as such with a ‘plus sign’ ( + ) before the question # and have their ‘answer text’ colored red (just as with the 2.2 version) to make it easy for you to spot what has been changed.

A couple of rulings previously made in the 2.2 version of the FAQ have been altered/revised based on user feedback, so please make sure you take the time to quickly scan over the whole thing to see what has changed.

Further feedback for future iterations of the FAQ is always welcome and can be done so by sending us an email.

As always, thanks again to everyone who helped out this process by giving us quality feedback and constructive criticism, we certainly appreciate it!

Courage and Honour (Hardcover) by Graham McNeill

 

The noble Ultramarines epitomize the Space Marines, the genetically enhanced warriors who protect the Imperium from its foes. Newly returned from the Eye of Terror, Captain Uriel Ventris must redeem himself in the eyes of his battle–brothers, who fear he may have been tainted by Chaos. When the planet Pavonis is invaded by tau, what better opportunity could Uriel have to join his Chapter in combat and prove that his honour is beyond reproach?

Empire in Chaos by Anthony Reynolds

When Annaliese Jaeger's village is overrun and destroyed, she and an injured elf captive are the only survivors. As the two unlikely companions fight their way towards Blackfire Pass, Annaliese discovers within herself powers of courage and faith that inspire all around her. But when the Pass is attacked by the hordes of Chaos, Annaliese and her companions must fight alongside the Imperial army or the Empire will be doomed.
