Back when I was getting my Orks army together, I decided that I wanted the little guys to have a little character. After all the Orks are a fun and unpredictable army, so why no jazz it up a little bit? Well I have to admit I went a little crazy with these guys. For […]

Here’s a look at what we took to Adepticon.  It’s a brief video of our team tournament army and display board from Adepticon 2010. We took 13th overall, and had a blast.

Well I guess its been about a year now since GW game out with the Vendetta Model, and with it ignited a rules firestorm that still flares up to this day. The one question remains; How do you play it?  Good Question.  Is it a skimmer? If so why is it on that $#%*-ing stupidly […]

A few months ago I went to Cabin Fever GT in Harrisonburg, PA. There was a ton of great looking armies there and I got permission from their owners to post them up. The first army was Death Guard by Doug Waltman.  Doug is a really cool dude, and volunteers to help run Mechanicon GT, […]

MBG back again with my Blood Angels Playtest Game 3 Video. This time though it’s different- I’m running the Blood Angels, and Travis is playing Orks. Can you say Ghaz vs. Mephiston??!! I also have switched up the list, turning it more into a drop/ aggro assault army then the mech version I was running […]

This was the third rewrite of my Blood Angels list. I kinda did it on the fly too, and made some mistakes, BUT I knew I wanted to play around with Mephiston. As TPM Blood Angel pointed out Mephiston is a Death Star, able to kill with realitive ease most units in the game.  However […]

With the release of Blood Angels I’m trying to tune up my Looted Guard Army. So I’ve added a few more units with the hopes of dashing the advance of the ReD SpAze MaRinZe. I’ve noticed the a big problem with this army in popping masses of Power Armor. I think with the addition of […]

MBG back again with an interesting look at selecting drop pods.  It seems like ever since the Space Marine codex came back out in 2008 pods have been at the forefront of most battles. First came the Kantor/Sternguard lists, then the podding Vulkan He’stan armies, and now we have Blood Angels throwing their weight around. […]

Well the last give-away went so well, it looks like I’m going to turn this into a monthly thing for as long as I can. So without further adieu, I present the Spikey Bits Monthly Give-Away. On May 12th I will select another blog follower at random and they will win this box of brand […]

Well I’ve been diligently working on this guy off and on for the past week or so. Here is where I’m at now. I’m just waiting on a few things from Forge World to finish it up and then post the how to guide.  Of course you don’t have to use the FW parts I’m […]

Well with all the hub bub over the new Blood Angels I nearly forgot to get my Adepticon Coverage in. I will correct that slight right now. So here are some more beautiful armies to gawk at! If you can make it next year I definitely recommend the event. -MBG My favorites are the defiler […]

Hey guys, MBG back again with a Blood Angels Playtest Video of game 2. Again we tried out the following list vs. my Mech guard. Overall it was a good learning experience for what the new ‘Angels are capable of, and how to go about it. I like the fast moving vehicles, and the psykers, […]

Who’s a big blog? That’s right true believers, Spikey Bits is one year old today!  Anyways thanks to all for reading and responding for the last year.  Hopefully there will be many many more years to come! I have selected a winner, at random, for the Venerable Dreadnought. His blogger name is Hussar, and according […]

That’s right true believers, in less than one week, April 12th to be exact, I’ll be selecting a follower at random to receive a free Venerable Dreadnought! Since there is indeed over 100 followers now, I’ll be hard pressed to find a die for that to roll, so I’ll just be selecting at random. Best […]

Hey guys, MBG back again with my first Blood Angels Playtest Video. We tried out the following list vs. my Mech guard. Overall it was a good learning experience for what the new ‘Angels are capable of, and how to go about it. I like the fast moving vehicles, and the psykers, but I don’t […]

Deep down inside me I knew it was going to come to this. I would fall to the sweet siren song of converting up a Stormraven, and there was nothing anyone, not even my girlfriend, could do about (trust me she tried). Going in I had a good idea of what I had in mind, […]

Today I wanted to talk about my Nob Biker squad, and their custom bases. This is kinda of a summary repost from my original three blog posts back in April ’09, but now that I got more followers I want to get some input on them. The best thing you can do to really show […]

Well its morning here at Adepticon 2010. Here is a look at the scenery for the 40k events, and some sample armies that look great. The terrain looks great, and is pretty varied throughout the tables themselves, so I doubt anyone will play on the same table twice.
