Adepticon_Info Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 http://www.adepticon.org/wpimages/2011/2011adepticonlogo.gif The Countdown Has Begun . . . It’s time to mark your calendar and start making travel plans, because on April 1st, 2011, AdeptiCon will return to the Chicagoland area for our NINTH year of miniature wargaming excitement! Once again, the Westin Lombard Yorktown Center will be hosting AdeptiCon, providing a home for the one weekend that brings together those of us who are passionate about the miniature wargaming hobby. Last year over 1200 hobbyists took part in the fellowship, excitement, and enthusiasm that has earned AdeptiCon its reputation as the “can’t miss” event of the year for the miniature wargamers across the country and the globe. We brought back our traditional Games Workshop favorites, and expanded our lineup of events to include new core gaming systems, such as Privateer Press’s Warmachine and Hordes, and Battlefront’s Flames of War. You can expect all of our core gaming systems to return, with a lineup of both traditional AdeptiCon signature events as well as new, exciting challenges. Registration will begin this fall, so stay tuned for more updates! For Gamers, By Gamers Four nine years, our motto, “For Gamers, By Gamers” has guided what we do and how we do it. Our dedicated staff of volunteers are the engine that drives AdeptiCon and have made it the premier event in the miniature wargaming hobby. Volunteers are absolutely critical to the making AdeptiCon a success and supporting and building the hobby in general. If you can come in a little earlier, or stay a little later, or give us one day over the weekend, you can help us make sure that AdeptiCon lives up to the standard of excellence that we’ve built and give a little bit back to the hobby that we all love and enjoy. If you want to volunteer, or just want to find out more about what volunteering entails, email us at volunteer@adepticon.org with the following information: Name, Email, Phone Number, Group(s) You’re Interested In Here are the ways you can help make AdeptiCon a success: Event Staff (Registration, Tournaments, Demos, other Events) Our event staff help run all of our events, from one hour demos with four or five players, to the massive 440 person AdeptiCon 40K National Team Tournament. They also staff our registration table, take pictures and do everything needed to make sure that events run as smoothly as possible. If you’re interested in working as part of our event staff, be sure to let us know which day(s) during the weekend that you’re available to work. Operations (Setup and Breakdown) Our operations staff come in a little bit earlier and/or stay a little bit later, and do the behind-the-scenes work of setting up and breaking down the terrain for our gaming tables, unpacking the legendary AdeptiCon “swag”, and much more. If you’re interested in working as part of our operations staff, let us know if you can come early, leave later, or both! Terrain Building Thanks to our Terrain Building team, AdeptiCon’s terrain has become well known for a standard of excellence not usually seen at independent conventions. This team does the entirety of their work before the convetion, and you must be able to get to our terrain building headquarters (for the past two years, Capitol City Games in Springfield, IL) for terrain building days. Communications/Marketing Our communications and marketing team helps spread the word about AdeptiCon. We’re looking for people who have a strong online presence, especially within their respective gaming communities. News releases go out every few weeks, and our communications/marketing team are the ones who distribute them. There’s a lot to do, but we spread it out over a long period of time. Best of all, like the Terrain Building team, our job is done once the weekend starts! You can be a part of our communications and marketing team from anywhere! If you want to volunteer, or just want to find out more about what volunteering entails, email us at volunteer@adepticon.org with the following information: Name, Email, Phone Number, Group(s) You’re Interested In PodHammer Coming to AdeptiCon 2011 PodHammer, one of the premier Warhammer Fantasy podcasts will be making the trip to AdeptiCon in 2011.

Kurgan the Lurker Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 The INAT FAQ for Adepticon 2011 has been updated: http://www.adepticon.org/?p=1745 The INAT FAQ v4.1 has just been completed and is ready for download! This new update is essentially just a bit of housekeeping (since there hasn’t been any new codex released since our last update), mainly to remove any redundant rulings in the INAT that were covered in GW’s official Blood Angel and Tyranid FAQs (or to change our rulings to match theirs where the two conflicted). Besides that, we’ve also added a few new rulings throughout the document as well. As always, any questions/rulings that have been altered from the previous version of the FAQ have been denoted as such with a ‘plus sign’ ( + ) before the question # and have their ‘answer text’ colored red to make it easy for you to spot what has been changed. Further feedback for future iterations of the FAQ is always welcome and can be done so in this thread or by sending an email to: inatfaq@dakkadakka.com. Please note the email address for INAT feedback has changed. As always, thanks again to everyone who helped out this process by giving us quality feedback and constructive criticism. We certainly appreciate it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurgan the Lurker Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 http://www.crystalbrush.com/2010/10/record...tal-brush-2011/ $10,000 prize for this one! CoolMiniOrNot Inc announced today the Crystal Brush Awards, which will be a painting competition held at AdeptiCon 2011 in Chicago from April 1st to 3rd 2011. The Crystal Brush awards are a showcase for the best in miniature painting, primarily focused on fictional settings. As a competition meant to celebrate the hobby, figures from any manufacturer are welcome. Huge cash prize Chief highlight was the news that the top scoring miniature would receive $10,000, and unheard of sum for miniatures. 2nd and 3rd prizes were also guaranteed at $2,000 and $1,000 respectively. “This is quite a large sum of money”, said Chern Ann Ng, Director at CoolMiniOrNot. “Running CoolMiniOrNot.com since 2001 has shown us that there is a huge pool of talent out there, but global competition tends to be focused around just manufacturer sponsored and controlled events. ” “We thought it was high time that someone stepped forward and organized a competition that would really let creative juices flow, regardless of manufacturer ties. Hopefully, the miniature painting community will see we are dead serious and we expect a good turnout and fantastic miniatures.” AdeptiCon excited to be historic venue “Obviously, we’re delighted to be working with the team at CoolMiniOrNot to put these awards together”, said David Pauwels, AdeptiCon Hobby Event Coordinator. “AdeptiCon represents the best in independent miniature gaming tournaments, and so it’s only natural that we host the best in independent miniature painting competitions as well.” CoolMiniOrNot does an “American Idol” The unique part about the competition is that there is a popular voting component, which accounts for 50% of the score, with 50% from a panel of judges. In the spirit of CoolMiniOrNot, both technical skill and a strong “cool” factor will be richly rewarded. With 11 categories, and beautiful Gold, Silver and Bronze Crystal Brush Trophies, there will be many winners at the first ever Crystal Brush Awards.
