Hi All,
I've got a question now, but I'm sure that I will have a lot more as we get closer.
Are there bitz sellers at Adepticon? I'm really thinking about getting a bunch of 40k Ork bitz, but I am hating the bidding and the shipping. I'd love to find some vendor at Adepticon who sells bits. Any chance?
What type of stuff can you get at the trading meet? Swap meet. I've got a few random stuff that MIGHT be worth trading.

The swap meet is your best bet. The Chicago Bunker is the only GW vendor there and I don't think they bring bits anymore.
Someone else will correct me if I'm wrong!
Jim

Usually there is bitz trading at night which is good fun with lots of people bring their bitz for trade or sale. There is generally some with the vendors, but not as much there.

Cool! Thanks for the answer.
So, what kind of stuff do people want? I've got a starter box for Warmaster. It doesn't seem to be enough to really start an army and no one locally wants to invest in it, anyways.
I've also got a ton o' Orcs and Goblins bitz to trade with. Not sure what else people want.
Oh, I do have a HE and Skaven magic card deck (unopened) that I am just holding on to to see if they are worth anything after those are sold out.

Oh, there are a bunch of bitz places, but I was hoping to avoid shipping and to actually see the ones I wanted to buy in person.

Roger that,
I/We in the warhamsters have our own locked forum and we often offer swaps and requests. Due to the nature of our club this often means shipping but if we have a meet going on in the near future then swaps get done there.
We also occasionaly pass stuff between ouselves so that it will eventualy travel the length of the country to get to the recipient. And, with some (50%) of our club work we can do free post between us.

Is there a good place to get metal bits?

You mean at Adepticon or in general? I usually just google Warhammer bitz and see the top ones online. I don't know if they have metal, though.
I am assuming that there will be some textured bases for sale at Adepticon. There are a number of companies that will probably be there and there could even be just shops that sell random stuff that would have them. I was thinking of buying some bases, but I think I might just wait for Adepticon.

Another question. I'm thinking of trying to do some interesting unit fillers for my army and I really want a bunch of unusual 28mm stuff. I know there are a lot of companies out there that sell things like wagons and crates and such. GW doesn't do it, but other companies do. I am thinking of avoiding shipping charges and maybe seeing if there are vendors there that sell things like that? Would I be wasting my time?

Then we should get together tomorrow night after I get off work for a beer in the hotel bar. I can be at the Westin around midnight and I can bring the display board if you want! Do you have my cell number on your phone still? |
