FTN Episode 546 – GenCon 2025 Recap From a Warhammer Perspective

GenCon 2025 is done and we’re back! This convention gets better and better every year.  More people. More things to see. More games to play. More fun.  To everyone who came by the booth to say hello, thank you!  We give our rundown of how it went for us in this episode then we talk about something cool from Miniwargaming.

Hey folks,

Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year.  It’s the best sticker I’ve ever owned.

We also started a Patreon for the FTN show.  This will help us a lot in the form of being able to hire an editor and a few other things.   If it is anywhere within your ability to support us on that platform please consider doing so. The link is right here.

GenCon is a can’t miss for me now.  I was a hold out for a bunch of years, never even thinking it was possible. Now I go and get to spend time as an exhibitor talking about Warhammer.

I’m pleased to say we have a link for the official Warhammer Merchandise Store!  Check out our link here if you plan on picking up something!

I had the pleasure of running Kill Team demos for most of the convention and got to see people take their first steps into miniature wargaming.  We had a blast.  Running these types of things reminds you just how fun the hobby is sometimes. The aspect of building, painting, playing and making laser sounds when you roll the dice.  Love it!

Red was over at the activity center where we had tons of people getting to share in some things completely unique to GenCon.  These are in the open gaming area and we totally suggest you put it on your list if you haven’t already.   Later in the show Tanya talks about something she is kicking off with MiniWargaming later this month and you’re gonna want to tune into their channel for more details.
