Well it seems like all anyone wants to write about lately is how wound allocation works in sixth Edition.So lets take a look at another article on the matter! Today I have for you another guest spot by TPM Paul Murphy with his thoughts on allocation and some brief examples. From TPM,My club mates have […]

Welcome to Army of One, where I display a great looking painted model from stuff I’ve done or amazing figures I’ve seen around. If you click on the Army of One label you’ll be able to scroll through some great looking figures, all at once. Today we take a look at my old Ghazghkull Thraka model form […]

Today we have another guest post by TPM, that addresses what to do now with the rumored legalization of Imperial Armor units in 6th! From TPM A buddy of mine asked me what list I would build for a tournament that allowed these units and below is what I came up with. I am pretty disappointed […]

Today I took another crack at converting one of the hottest bits on the market today; the Combi-Melta gun. Here at Spikey Bits, we still cant seem to keep this particular bit in stock, and routinely cut down whole commander kits at a time, just for this one component. It’s pretty bad when I don’t […]

Well it appears I may have impressed some folks with a few Work in Progress shots I put up last night on Facebook.I like posting quick pictures to Facebook using my phone, cause it’s easy to make a small catalog of what I’m working on without stopping every five seconds and setting up photo equipment etc. So […]

I’ve been studying this picture for a few days now, and can’t seem to place any of the components.Either this is a whole new kit, or more amazing scratch builds like the “New Plastic Chaos Terminators” thread from last week. Let’s take a closer look. Here’s another potential gem in the hard to see picture from the […]

Top Level player Paul Murphy (TPM) shares with us today his first Blood Angels list for 6th Edition.TPM sat at the top of the Rankings HQ’s chart for 40k Players in America for quite awhile. Can he do it again with 6th? From TPM,I am still not completely sure how I feel about the new rules. I feel GW […]

Well this may be a big wild goose chase, BUT take a look at this… It’s been awhile since Games Workshop put out a Chaos Dreadnought. Heck  Games Workshop didn’t even bother remaking the old one into Finecast yet. So whats a Warmaster gotta to do to get some armored walker lovings around here (besides get one […]

Brother Chaplain Ginn called me late last night asking if I had seen the new Chaos Terminators…Of course I replied no, where are they? He told me somewhere in the new sixth rulebook and sent me a cellphone pic of a screenshot off the net. Immediately I dashed to the office to grab my rulebook and find that exact […]

Mr Wizard was nice enough to type up a little summary of some of the changes to the game from 5th to 6th. While this is by no means a comprehensive list or even 100% correct it’s still a very helpful aid to learning and comprehending 6th Edition. To me reading the book once, is pretty […]

The book we have all waiting for is now HERE.Sixth Edition 40k released over the weekend, and there was much rejoicing. Overall, to me at least, the game seems to be pretty streamlined now. It feels to be more like Fourth Edition, except with many more clarifications in place that gives it a more fluid […]

Welcome to Armies on Parade, where I display (in hopefully good detail) some great looking armies from major tournaments all across the United States.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar! Part Deamon, part Dreadnought, all attitude.Today I’m unboxing the Forge World Chaos Decimator Engine, and you would not believe just how far down the rabbit hole the styling on this one goes. While this kit does not have a book yet, it still has a set of pretty sweet experimental rules from Forge World (posted on the item page). The model itself […]

Hey guys. I have an article today from From the Warp (FTW) by Ron Saikowski. This is a great article on doing furs, and that really makes it easy than hand sculpting every line etc. Alternatively as Ron notes, Micro Art Studio does make fur pelt molds as well.Another thing you may want to try after […]

Recently I’ve been posting up Work in Progress pics of Grey Knights Vehicles I’m currently painting, on Facebook.It’s easy to post there cause I can just snap some pics with my phone and upload them while I work. (Wanna see more WIP GK’s? Maybe it’s a good time to make sure you “like” Spikey Bits’ Facebook? I’m […]

I just got the July White Dwarf in my hot little hands, read it and cranked out this video for it. The thing that is so special about this White Dwarf is the fact that there is a preview of Sixth Edition in it. There is a TON of spoliers in this thing, and it […]
