That’s right! Our long awaited March shipment of Minitaire Paints is here and processed into our warehouse. Best part is we have PLENTY of paints left over for sale, and quite a few complete sets of the whole line of paint ready to ship as well. But I implore anyone still on the fence to […]

I spent a good part of my free time over the weekend breaking down the new codex, and tried to make some optimum army builds both with allies and without. The new book has tons of potential for the Tau, and I really think we’ll see them hitting the tables at national level events starting with WargamesCon […]

Hey internet, its the J Stove again, and you probably haven’t heard of me. That’s not because I’m a hipster though, its because I’m a relatively new contributor to Spikey Bits. I’ve got a sweet storm eagle I want to show you soon and how I built it, but before we get to that, I […]

The wait is over, the new Tau Codex is here, well sort of.. Supply shortages aside, I had chance to really break down the Tau Codex over the weekend. Below is my initial review on book, and some food for thought about how they may play and shake up the current “meta”.First off, the Codex itself […]

If you’ve listened to our podcast, you may have wondered if the intro and bumpers we play were a real girl’s voice, or if we just got a computer to do it. Truth is it’s a real girl and besides just sounding hot, well I’ll let you judge for yourself.So you’re probably wondering what all […]

Week three’s mission, sees Chewbacca captured by the infamous Boba Fett and on his way back the Imperials. But rest assured the rebel forces are in hot pursuit of the bounty hunter, and this bounty may turn out to be not so easy to collect. We’re playing this league at FTW Games (the home of Spikey Bits) and […]

Hey Guys, Rage of Khorne here from The Order of Chaos looking to add some more models to my collection of pre heresy Sons of Horus. The model I will be working on today is something you wouldn’t usually find in a standard space marine army and that’s exactly why I’ve chosen it.I’ve always loved the appearance […]

Moron here, writing again, this time about a new handy tool that has found it’s way into my box. I have all the standard tools: glue, clippers, hobby knife, files, and paint brushes. But now I am adding a roll of painters tape to that list. I haven’t been very good at painting vehicles in the past, but […]

Yet again we have some solid intel on the supposed upcoming release schedule. This time from a mostly reliable source quoted on Faeit. Again take this with some salt, but if I was a betting man I would put some money on a a very similar schedule actually transpiring. Im still bummed about the plastic Thunderhawk not being […]
