Necromunday: Scumathon Adepticon Kickoff Recap
What is Scumathon, you ask? An annual online event focusing on the modeling side of our hobby while celebrating creativity, community, and a shared passion for gluing stuff together in search of fun, unexpected, and inspiring results. We've got the full details over here.
We'll be taking submissions for our official competition categories through April 17th, and you're welcome to share what you're working on whether it's for entry, for feedback, or just for fun. Now, let's look at some models!
Adepticon Event
This year's biggest change was adding a physical kitbashing kickoff party at Adepticon to line up with the start of the online event.I flew to Milwaukee with a suitcase full of partially used sprues, with Goonhammer's own Fowler and our pal Dale of JD in the Sump Sea adding hefty stacks from their own plastic hoards.
We ended up with folks kitbashing for almost eight full hours, and it turns out setting everyone loose on a pile of random goodies facilitates both solid and surprising results. I'll share more about the event in the near future so we can skip ahead to the models!
Scumathon, being an International event, had Damon of Wellywood Wargaming joining us all the way from Australia to give Necromunda some arrow-in-the-knee treatment with his piece.
