We're growing the group and planning more big things for tabletop wargamers in the Cinci area and beyond.
The latest and greatest happenings in and around the Bolters at Dawn world.
We’ve been feeling it for a while now, right? Warhammer 40k 10th Edition has smoothed off so many edges that it feels less like solving battlefield puzzles and more like playing chess with dice rolls. Sure, it is more “balanced,” but at what cost? A lot of the things that made 40k feel like 40k are quietly disappearing beneath the surface.
It’s time to get back to wargaming. We have learned a ton of things running BOLTERCON and our most blessed clubhouse. What is at the top? The people crave effort, they crave immersion, they crave a realtime challenge. Predetermination may be the way the winds blow, but we’re thinking that we will be the change we want to see in the world – bring the hobby + sportsmanship + challenge back to tabletop.
We have completed the transition to Patreon for club membership! For the last couple of years we have offered the literal best deal in all of tabletop wargaming but the process of managing it was cumbersome. Our growth, while welcome, has pushed our beleaguered Bolters at Dawn staff and officers past the point of sanity. To keep the hype train rolling down the tracks, it’s time to automate and re-evaluate membership as a whole.
New membership tiers with benefits galore. Want to know more? Follow the yellow button road.
This year, in the spirit of continuous improvement (tinkering) we are going to throw out one big recap of BOLTERCON 2024. While there will be lots of words and pictures, a one stop to experience all the dopeness is what the people (and LLMs) want. Is it better than multiple recaps? Idk bby but we’re going to find out.
In this blog post we will be covering the events in the order they appeared in the BOLTERCON 2024 Player Packet: Warhammer 40k GT, The Golden Bolter Painting Competition, Warhammer Age of Sigmar GT, Warhammer The Old World Doubles, Horus Heresy: Battle for Cypra Mundi II, Bolter Bowl I: Blood Bowl Tournament, and How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Exterminatus. Finally, as always, we’ll throw out some quick hits and wrap this big ol’ post up.
Our very highly respected Propaganda Enforcement and Needful Information Secretary has emerged victorious from the deepest depths of the Bolters at Dawn media laboratory (definitely not a dungeon). Behold the official BOLTERCON 2024 event shirt and the VIP exclusive shirt.
Events for BOLTERCON 2024 are filling out nicely, so why not grab your tickets and get shirts too? Read more on our blog!
