Packed Halls and Endless Action

AdeptiCon 2025 What It's LikeWalking into AdeptiCon this year felt like stepping into the heart of tabletop heaven. Every corner of the venue was packed with players immersed in epic battles across multiple systems. The usual suspects were there, of course—Warhammer 40,000, Age of Sigmar, and the recently revived Old World.

But this wasn’t just about Games Workshop’s myriad of systems. Fans of a galaxy far, far away showed up strong with Star Wars: Legion tournaments pulling in impressive crowds. No matter your game of choice, the atmosphere was electric.
