Another Adepticon has once again come and gone, but we still have a ton of coverage for you to checkout from the event!
Over the weekend posted up a ton of articles, form picture dumps (including the Crystal Brush awards) to player interviews, and even army features!
You can checkout the full coverage from the weekend here.
Here’s some of the results from the 40k side of things, as best as I know them.

Here is quick rundown of the final 16 as they enter the second and most final day of tournament.
1 Newton, Jesse – nids
2 Roberts, Josh – Necrons/CSM
3 Aleong, Aaron – Necrons/CSM
4 Nayden, Sean – Eldar/dark Eldar
5 Hoerger, Eric – Necrons/CSM
6 Nanavati, Nick – Necrons/GK
7 Reidy, Thomas – daemons
8 Tricola, Adam – Gk/Necrons
9 Born, Werner – Necrons
10 Hernandez, Allan – Gk

12 Brunner, Ken – Necrons/CSM
13 Arimond, David – gk
14 Myers, Thomas – Ork
15 Hesselberg, Daniel – Necrons

Half the field is Necrons with only two players (I believe) making it from last years top 16, which is pretty amazing– the difference a year and new edition makes.
