TPM, Author at Spikey Bits

This is part 2 of an interview that was started over on BOLS. If you came here from there thanks a lot for following along. We pick up with Nick starting to theorize about list design after coming back from competing in the European Team Championships. Nicholas says: Coming back from the ETC I want […]

In my early testing I was so enamored with fast moving troop squads that I didn’t pay a lot of attention to some of the more expensive units in the codex. After the love fest with 60 assault marines wore off (and really what isn’t there to love?) I started to tool around with honor […]

Now that things have settled down around the new store, Spikey Bits is getting back to normal. I just finished up the Stormraven, and started up on a Fantasy army for 8th Edition- more on that soon!

I just really liked the idea of my Sanguinary High Priest being surrounded by fanatical followers of the Primarch. I ran them around in a Land […]

MBG here with another guest article by TPM Blood Angel; “To Mech or Not to Mech? Part II” Not to Mech. Troops and Elite Choices – I included them together because they are essentially the same. Ok, I’ve been messing around with army list builds and based on some feedback from a few other ghost […]

I’d like to intorduce our first guest writer here at Spikey Bits, TPM Blood Angel. Paul has been playing Blood Angels probably longer than most, and even won Baltimore GT with them.  Since the new BA’s are coming out soon I’ve asked him to do a write up on them. With the new Blood Angel […]
