That’s pretty much it. I’ve been a part owner or full owner of a bunch already, not to mention a few years of Battlewagon Bits, but I’m feeling the itch again. It’s been on my mind since I moved back to Virginia. In addition one of the LGSes is closing soon, so there’s not many […]
Read MoreTrygons and Minotaurs- Oh My!
These were painted up by my friend, Brother Chaplain Ginn for some recent GW Hobby Store painting competitions. Unfortunately they both lost- lol. It was mostly because we don’t shop there very much, and the locals voted for their own even though these blew all contenders out of the water. Gooooo Team! Checkout the putty […]
Read MoreDicehead Games “Siege” Warhammer 40k Coverage
Hey MBG back again with some more coverage of Dicehead Games’ “Siege” event. Here are some great looking armies from the event. My personal favorite is the Slaanesh army with the ipod ready Land Raider, and amazing freehand. Enjoy!
Read MoreCleaning out the Closet- Spikey Bits Floods e-Bay with stuff for sale!
You heard it right, Brother Chaplin Ginn, and I have been cleaning out our closets. We have been listing items non stop for the last two days, and will continue to do so for about the next week or so. There is a ton of stuff we’re dumping, from 40k to Forge World, and even […]
Read MoreDicehead Games “Siege” 9 games of Warhammer 40k in 2 days!
Last weekend I participated in Dicehead Game’s “Siege” Convention. It was a very well run multi-genre event on Saturday and Sunday in Chattanooga, TN. They had D&D games, Board Games, RPG’s, Flames of War, Warhammer 40k and Fantasy among others. It was located on a very clean park/ fairground with plenty for a family to […]
Read MoreDemi Legion: Chaos Titan Mega Build- Paint & Conversions
Before I went and basecoated up the titan I noticed the Turbo Lasers were kinda bland. I had forgotten that they didn’t make a Chaos version of these weapons (sad panda). So I had to whip something up quick to get the Titan done for the apoc game we were playing that weekend, cause I […]
Read MoreFighting Blood Angels- Tweeking Mech Imperial Guard 1850
It’s been a few weeks since the Blood Angels codex came out, and well I’m still reeling with how to deal with them. The main problems are that they close way to quick with my battle line, whether its 18″ rhinos or podding/ deep striking, and I cant shake them off quick enough. So in […]
Read MoreBehold the Ninja Grot! Converted Gretchins
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.
Read MoreHelp Me I’m Broken- Valkyrie Assault Carrier
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 […]
Read MoreArmy Showcase: Death Guard by Doug Waltman
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, […]
Read MoreNew Blood Angels – Playtest Battle Report Game 3 Meph Vs. Ghaz
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 […]
Read More“Enter the Mephiston” – Blood Angels 1850 List
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 […]
Read MoreReinforcements Have Arrived- Looted Guard Executioner, New Chimeras
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 […]
Read MoreDescent of Angels- Are Odd Pods The Way to Go?
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. […]

Read More40k Hobby- Blood Angels Stormraven Gunship MKII WIP
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 […]
Read MoreNew Blood Angels- Don’t Dread the Dreadnoughts
TPM Blood Angel back again with some more BA ponderings. I have a love hate relationship with these guys. They look cool and are fun to take so what’s the problem? Well, in almost every edition of the game they have had slim to no survivability. With proliferation of drop pods in the previous marine […]
