Sup Spikey Bits, longtime lurker, sometimes contributor JStove here, and today I want to bring you something nobody can ever get enough of… Battle reports! Now, I neglected to take pictures, but don’t worry so much about that. I personally can’t stand undocumented batreps either… Fortunately, this won’t be such a big deal, because the […]

Checkout this smashmouth 6th ed Battle Report by Next Level Painting and No Turtles Allowed.Combined they form the Brothers Boucher (Kenny at NLP, and Dave for NTA).  You may remember the Aegis line article Dave wrote in July.

So this weekend I drove down to Atlanta, GA to chill with my boy TPM ‘n crew and playtest some lists for a tournament yesteday at Giga-bites Cafe (which by the way is an awesome store- more on that later). Side note: even though rapper’s indicate Atlanta as being “Hot” I’m sad to report it was a […]

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’m back with part two of my Tyranid play tests. I’ve learned a lot so far about these guys and how they work.  So far I’ve been working with the swarm mentality, but after these last games I’m beginning to think that some spores may be necessary to take down Mech lists that are designed […]

So I had a chance to playtest my nids over the last week, and overall I’m very happy with their performance.  I’ve learned a lot and I think these guys really can do some damage to all comers, including Imperial Guard Mech. My first list variant went up against my Ork Mech Guard. You can […]

Okay so it’s been a few weeks since this happened, but here it is the battle report from my victory at Mechanicon ’09. I was running the Rebel Ork Guard list from last post and pictured here.
