Adepticon Recap: Dinosaurs, Dioramas, and Near-Death Experiences | Chapter 416 Podcast
We're BACK! After a short hiatus (you know, minor things like heart surgery), Pajama Pants and Brad Chester return with the most chaotic, hilarious, and heartfelt recap of Adepticon 2025 you're going to find anywhere on the internet.
From Brad’s gallbladder-colonoscopy-heart disaster trifecta to airbrushed RIP Karandras shirts, from Eldar riding dinosaurs to waterfalls on our display board, we break down our team tournament experience as the Chicago Kamikazes — best appearance winners and 2nd place overall finishers!
🎯 We talk:
- Why Adepticon is STILL our favorite tournament
- How we nearly didn’t get registered
- The insanity of last-minute display board construction
- Strategy and storytelling in a Highlander-style Eldar army
- Scoring mechanics, comp scores, and why Fire Dragons are life
- The very serious science of gluing rocks at 3am
- Diorama contest drama (you won't believe what Pajama Pants is planning)
Also: a surprise sponsor appearance by Cialis, our unplanned short ad break that might never be edited out. You're welcome.
🦖 Special shoutout to everyone we played, the organizers who leveled up terrain and transparency this year, and all our friends who helped us build the dumbest, most beautiful Exodite army ever assembled.
