Welcome to a Friday guest post by Togashi Shinkaze. You can catch him lurking about over at Laughter of the Thirsting Gods talking about “metas” and “fun 40k”. Worth a read! Well it was alot of fun hanging out and talking smack on thursday night. At this point I have seen MBG wax Jawaballs in a […]

The first Mega Deff Kopta was built for Warboss Ribkracker by Big Mek Gigawright. Besides showing an affinity for both warbikes and flyers, Gigawright spent hours and hours tinkering for new ways to get da boyz into the battle the fastest.After battling Air Assault Imperial Guard (da ones who jump out da jet fightas) in the Tendias Forgeworld, Gigawright had […]

Check out this work in progress Chaos Thousand Sons Rhino by Jkin. If you missed his sweet Daemon Prince conversion recently do yourself a favor and check it out! Back to his new work, this puppy has got it all! This M41 Chaos Rhino comes standard with Spikey Bits, chains of doom, and a slight […]

Wow what a week for all of us on the East Coast! First was an Earthquake of all things, about 30 miles from Spikey Bits Central, then of course a hurricane skirted up the coast, dumping a ton of rain and knocking out power all over the place.  Somewhere in middle of all that Nova […]

Welcome back! Today I have a little lead into the Nova Open, happening this weekend, and a feature on one of the lists I am considering running in the Invitational. Today I’ll be playing in the Nova Open Invitational, and I’m thinking about playing Master Shakes’ Orkquisition Grey Knights.  I’ve been featuring a few of his conversions […]

So here is the finished product from last week, a Daemon Prince of Tzeentch Diorama.  My buddy Jkin spent the good part of a few weeks converting up both the base, and the model itself.They are pretty much all scratch built with a ton a green stuff.  I really dig the drippy blood effect, and […]

Recently I had a chance to bust out my Looted Guard and get some quality pictures (and video) of the army. I have no clue why it took so long to record them in a glorious fashion, but hey sometimes things are just worth the wait I suppose.You can click on the Looted Guard or […]

The Orkuisition is back!  “Counts as” is the new black, and this army is hot with it’s conversions innovative theme. Mastershake has been a ball of fire lately converting and painting up his Deff Kult army like a mad man to get ready for the Nova Open. Recently he finished up his DeffKnight conversion, and now all […]

Welcome back to more Orkuisition madness! Well Master Shake is really putting his all into this Converted Grey Knight Army, and I hope you are enjoying watching it develop as much as I am. Check out this Work In Progress shot of his “Deff Knight” counts as conversion.  Right now he feverishly working on the […]

MBG here with a possibly blasphemous question; why take a Librarian in a Grey Knight army? Sure, sure, the benefits are obvious; extra cover saves with Shrouding, extra Hammerhands, Armor Penetration from Might of Titans, and fun with Sanctuary, etc. just to name a few. But seriously though, is it worth taking a Librarian? I’m starting to say nay my friends […]

Well believe it or not ‘Ard Boyz prelims are almost here, and all the boys and girls are getting ready for battle!  The thing I’ve come to love about this event, is the complete shift in meta away from any standard tournament circuit type series. At ‘Ard Boyz you’ll see the most random lists in addition to a […]

So I need to get my creative juices flowing and maybe you can help.  I’ve had these converted Terminators for a few years now, and just got around to augmenting them with newer bits and such for my Iron Hands Army. Originally I wanted them to be all sweet Pre-Heresy style, but eventually I just settled on […]

Since  all the new Space Marine books came out with rules for Razorbacks armed with Twin Linked Assault Cannon turrets, there has been quite a high demand for that turret loadout. Unfortunately the only way to actually get one is the Land Raider Crusader / Redeemer kit for $66, a price which has made the turret go for […]

Besides declare Waaaagh on the other gaming tables, of course? Bad Orky gorilla jokes aside, recently I decided to set up all my Ork models to take some pictures for the blog and prep for an upcoming Apocalypse game.  As it turns out I have a bunch of models, an embarrassing large amount actually, so many in fact that I […]

I remember the dark skies, the smell of brimstone and death hanging high almost as if to linger in the air.  The year was 2003, the Chaos Space Marines were on the warpath, and it was good to be bad. Nowadays while the skies have cooled with the times (and their abomination of a “5th […]

Well if you haven’t heard by now, team Spikey Bits / Wrecking Crew won the 2011 Adepticon Team Championship.  Our team featured the talents of Kenny Boucher (Wrecking Crew, Next Level Painting), TPM Paul Murphy (Wrecking Crew), Joshua Ginn, and myself MBG Rob Baer (Spikey Bits, Wrecking Crew). Part of the Adepticon Weekend the Team Championship is […]

I have to admit, the one thing hobby related that I have always shied away from was doing snow on bases. No clue why…. I can pin, sculpt, build stuff from scratch etc, but I always run screaming when it comes to doing snow. Why? I have no clue. I suppose it has to do with messing up and ruining a […]

Some of you may remember the cool Storm Wardens Charity Project from last year. This year John and Mike (from Santa Cruz Warhammer,) wanted to do the same thing because lets face it, the world needs even more help this year. This year we have four build teams working on four 3,000 point armies, all to […]
