Relictors- Renegade? Space Marines Showcase
Hello there my fellow Spikey-nauts! (This is the term I’ve decided to use for us regular Spikey Bits Blog viewers, we’ll see if it sticks.) I suppose an introduction is in order, as this is my first post on the Spikey Bits Blog.
I go by Gruebot on several other web forums, so I think I’ll stick with that here as well. I’m from Albuquerque, New Mexico where I game regularly with my 40k club ‘
Bolters Con Queso‘. I’ve been playing 40k since about 93′ and just recently picked up Warmachine as well. I usually play Space Marines or Chaos Marines.
So today I’ve decided to post a few photos of my Relictors Chapter. For those of you who don’t know or have never heard of the Relictors, their back story can be found here:
RELICTORS . Lets start with a few of my HQ choices. At this point I have one of all most one of every type painted up. As you can just below is my Terminator Chaplain (one of the first models I painted for this force).
I have also a Terminator Librarian. As you can see there is a Slaneshi Chaos symbol on his force axe. I wanted to make his weapon somewhat chaotic so as to keep it in line with the Relictor’s back story. But I also really liked the force axe that this model all ready had so I decided to just embellish it.
And lastly I have my SM Captain. In order to ‘chaosify’ his weapon I did a very simple conversion for this model. I really just switched out his normal sword with a daemon sword from a Bloodletter. I think it makes a great relic blade and fits perfectly with my overall theme.
Well that’s all for today. I hope you enjoyed viewing this post as much I did writing it. See you soon!

Bio: Virginia restless, miniature painter & cat dad. He blames LEGOs for all this, as there was something about those little-colored blocks that started it all. Spikey Bits started with Rob trying to stay motivated to hobby on his backlog of projects and share his knowledge with others during the early blogging era.
Scale model hobbyist in the 80s, miniature wargamer, and trading card player ever since. He’s played every edition of Warhammer 40k and Warhammer Fantasy since 5th Edition, but Titans of all sizes will always be his favorite! It’s even rumored that his hobby vault rivals the Solemnance Galleries, containing rulebooks filled with lore from editions long past, ancient packs of black-bordered Magic Cards, and minatures made of both pewter and resin.
