Sooooo jealous that you're there and I'm not. But thanks for the pics. Keep 'em coming man, if you know what's good for you.  ;)

Those are some pretty sweet-looking Dropfleet ships. And ST Ascendancy looks really, really good.

All cool pics!

So what's the scoop on HALO Ground? get any scuttlebutt on other Spartan Games at their booth?

Aye, thanks for posting these Ruck.

Dale, tangential to your question, I talked to Ed today at the Haven, still no word when their distributor will get Ground Command. I think it's an issue with Spartan, not so much the distributor and certainly not the store.

I wish they would get here soon, but TBH I have a lot of prep still to do for Tacticon, so I wouldn't be able to do much with Ground Command right now anyway.

Glad you guys are enjoying the pics! I've made a blog post that talks about what I saw at the show in a little more detail:

There was a healthy amount of the two-player starter sets at the show, but that was on behalf of The War Store. I'm not sure when they will  make their way out to the stores. I'm holding off on this one till I can get it at the FLGS myself ;).

Let's hope the Haven's distributor isn't dropping Spartan like others I've heard of...

@Ruckdog, thanks for sharing the pics and your thoughts. I gotta figure out how to get to Gencon next year. How was the GNT-related stuff? Same kind of experience as Adepticon?

@Dale geez, let's hope not!!

Essentially, yes. I touch on this in a little more detail in the post I made on my personal blog, if anyone is interested:

Read your post. Sounds like you had a great time. Do you feel like you were able to see everything that there was to see? Or was the con too big to see it all?

I read your blog post. Sounds like an awesome time. I would really like to do the GNT thing in the future. What a great way to experience a convention.
