This year’s vendor hall brought out a ton of standout booths, with everything from fresh paints and wild miniatures to terrain, tools, and hobby gear that had people stopping in their tracks.

Adepticon’s Vendor Hall: A Stroll Through Miniatures, Tools, Paints, and More!
Every qualifying purchase from these vendor hall merchants helps Spikey Bits keep the lights on and the fun going.
The AdeptiCon 2026 vendor hall was where all the action happened, packed corner to corner with games, hobby gear, and enough cool stuff to put just about every gamer’s budget in danger. No matter what kind of tabletop games you were into, there was always something happening and plenty worth checking out every time you turned around.
Vendors and manufacturers from all over the industry showed up loaded with new releases, hobby supplies, live demos, and plenty of hard-to-find goodies, while players from across the country brought the kind of energy that kept the whole place buzzing.
With the crowds, big displays, and nonstop excitement, the vendor hall easily felt like the center of the entire event.
Creature Caster: More Than Just Daemons
They also had some limited-edition items that were doing a great job of testing people’s self-control. Between the sculpt quality and the full booth display, this was one of those stops that kept pulling people back in for another look.
The Army Painter: One of the Most Interactive Booths Around
They even had a huge setup that grabbed attention before you ever made it to the main booth. If you wanted to restock supplies and actually learn a thing or two while you were at it, this was an easy stop to make.
Monument Hobbies: Hobby Supplies Done Right
Monument Hobbies brought the kind of booth that makes it very easy to start just browsing and somehow leave with a bag full of stuff. Paints, models, swag, hobby gear, and some seriously slick bags were all on display, and it was one of the better all-around hobby stops in the hall.
Whether you were there to stock up or just see what they had cooking, they made a strong case for your hobby budget. And if you missed them at the event, their webstore is still worth a look.
Baron of Dice: Dice for Days
If you needed dice, Baron of Dice had you covered and then some. Their booth looked like they brought enough sets to supply half the convention, with loads of styles, colors, themed designs, and accessories to go with them.
From standard sets to more unique options, it was one of those booths where you could easily spend way more time than planned just looking through everything.
Tabletop Terrain & War Scenery: Serious Table Upgrade Potential
The Tabletop Terrain booth had no problem getting attention thanks to a big lineup of impressive terrain and miniatures. Their newer Traitor Guard alternatives and Star Wars-inspired minis got a lot of looks, and for good reason.
If you were thinking about upgrading your table, adding more scenery, or just picking up something cool for the collection, they had plenty of options worth checking out.
Squad Marks: Magnetic Terrain That Actually Turns Heads
Squad Marks showed off one of the more practical and clever ideas in the hall with its magnetic terrain system. Fitting an entire table’s worth of terrain into a single box is the kind of thing that gets people to stop and ask questions, especially if storage space is always a problem.
For hobbyists who want a cleaner setup without giving up a full table experience, this one definitely stood out.
Turbo Dork: Loud Colors and Zero Shame
Turbo Dork brought exactly the kind of energy you would expect, with bold paints, metallics, color-shifters, and enough shiny goodness to make just about any hobbyist stop for a closer look.
Their booth had a ton of personality, and the paint names alone were half the fun. If you like your minis loud, flashy, and impossible to ignore, Turbo Dork was right at home in the vendor hall.
Game Envy: Tools You Suddenly Needed
Game Envy rolled in with a booth full of hobby tools and accessories that made a lot of people realize their workspace was not nearly as dialed in as they thought. Wet palettes, brush holders, ergonomic grips, and all kinds of painting gear were on display, and it all looked slick.
This was one of those booths that made it very easy to start mentally reorganizing your whole hobby desk on the spot.
Magnet Baron: Hobby Utility at Its Finest
Magnet Baron showed up with the kind of booth that speaks directly to hobbyists who are tired of broken models, awkward transport, and permanently locked loadouts. From magnetizing kits to storage and travel solutions, their setup was full of useful gear that solves real hobby problems.
This was not flashy for the sake of it, either. It was one of those booths where every product felt like something designed by people who actually play, build, and haul armies around on a regular basis.
Gamers Grass: Small Details, Big Upgrade
Gamers Grass proved once again that the little details can do a lot of heavy lifting. Their booth was packed with basing materials, tufts, plants, and hobby extras that can take a miniature from looking finished to actually looking great.
It might not be the loudest booth in the room, but it was absolutely one of the most useful for painters and builders who care about presentation. If you wanted easy ways to add more character to your bases and terrain, this booth was worth checking out.
Archon Studios: StarCraft Was the Main Event
Archon Studios grabbed plenty of attention by going all in on the new StarCraft game, and the booth made it clear that this was the headline attraction. Between the big box sets, sprues out on display, and live demos running throughout the event, this felt like a full showcase instead of just a quick preview.
What helped it stand out was how much people could actually see up close. It wasn’t just a couple of minis sitting in a case or some promo images on a backdrop. Attendees could check out the plastic, get a look at the components, and see the game in action, which gave the whole setup a lot more pull for both hobbyists and longtime StarCraft fans.
They also had some limited-edition miniatures on hand, which only added more hype around the booth. If you were into big sci-fi armies, fresh plastic kits, or just wanted a hit of StarCraft nostalgia on the convention floor, Archon Studios had one of the easier booths to get sucked into.
Miniswap: Great Spot for Secondhand Hobby Deals
Miniswap had a booth that felt a little different from the usual wall of products. They were handing out info, giving away free t-shirts, and putting themselves in front of hobbyists who are always looking for a better way to buy, sell, or trade used minis.
For anyone sitting on a pile of extra models, half-finished projects, or armies they know they are never getting back to, Miniswap looked like a pretty useful resource to keep on the radar. On the other side of that, if you are hunting for secondhand deals, missing bits, or full armies without paying full retail, they are also a great place to start.
