Strategicon Repeating But Unique Events
Miniature Boot Camp
We are hosting a number of miniature game demos. Many of the hottest and newest will be showcased. Daily from 10am-6pm Saturday and Sunday!
Come by for some short and quick demonstrations of these miniature games. Miniatures are provided.
Strategicon Paint and Take
The Strategicon Paint and Take pavilion is a place to sit and take some time to learn from our great staff about painting of miniature figurines. A number of sponsors (GMI / Games Workshop / Reaper / others) have provided paints and miniatures that are waiting for you to sit and paint them. All that is required are a few moments and your time. Stop by the Second floor, bring your own or try one of ours. This is the best place to stop between games, and during those times when you need to wind down or get your mind into the zone. Situated by well lit windows at the top of the escalators, on the second floor, it is the cross roads of the convention, easily accessed from any part of the convention. This is a great place to relax or meet up with friends, without having to worry about if they will find you or what you need to do while you wait for them.
Make this your rallying point for all your meet ups during the convention and to talk with our expert painters who staff the pavillion and are happy to talk technique with you. Bring your own miniatures and they will be happy to critique or offer suggestions to improve your technique.
Time: 10am - 5pm Saturday and Sunday Place 2nd floor top of the elevators, in front of the Seminar Room!
Come and experience!! All levels welcome: beginner to expert!! The idea is to have fun, to learn, and to share the joy!
Demo Sessions
Come learn the latest games at the Game Library! New titles from publishers like Rio Grande, Queen, Fantasy Flight, Days of Wonder, Gamewright, Mayday Games and more will be explained to new players looking to try them out.
