Should Spikey Bits Open a Gaming Store?

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 […]

Trygons 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 […]

Demi 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 […]

Fighting 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 […]

Behold 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 […]

Help 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 […]

“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 […]

Descent 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. […]

New 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 […]
