MBG here with a little new stuff diddy.  First off let me say that I have no concrete facts to back any of these predictions on (or where I heard the facts that I do have, I can not say). Why should you even listen to me in the first place?  Well I’ve been pretty much in the trenches, so to speak, […]

There is an old saying when it comes to doing something; that you either are good, get good, or give up. When it comes to playing games of 40k I think the same thing can probably be said. To me it seems like there are tiers of players in everything out there under the sun, […]

Well I don’t sparkle, but so far I seem to be aging like a vampire. Ever wonder who the Man Boy Genius (MBG) is, or what he looks like? Check out this video interview by the Rocky Mountain 40k from the Feast of Blades tournament, but forgive me as the exhaustion from the weekend and […]

Well it’s official, work vacation is over, and soon enough all the kids will be back in school (if they already aren’t). Here at Spikey Bits though, we can’t stop- won’t stop, lol. Checkout the articles from the break that you may have missed (and don’t suck / are worth reading). First off we started a new segment here called […]

Well with another year of blogging behind us I went back and pulled up the top Spikey Bits articles of 2011. You may say they are our greatest hits of last year, lol, either way if you missed them…. now is you chance to catch up! Check them out! 10.) Conversion Corner- Sphinx Pattern Defiler  9.) […]

Happy New Year to you all!!! Well another year has gone by, and as you may know according to the Myans? we all only have about 12 months left to finish up all our hobby projects! I for one will probably fall short. Sigh, I’m thinking I have about a five year backlog on projects at the very least, and […]

You’ve probably noticed by now, that usually at the end of most of my posts are two small lines of advertising for the Spikey Bits Online store (see that- just did it again, lol). Occasionally (mostly when I post on BoLS) some people make negative remarks about those two little lines of text…. all alone […]

Welcome back to another polite rant/ clarification about a topic I feel very strongly about, the Necron Leak by Beast of War. First of all I wanted to clear up several serious points that were bugging me.  I do not think the leak was a bad thing for the hobby, personally I enjoyed seeing the photos and can not […]

YEAH! NECRONS! The stagnant months of no rumors are gone, people are excited and all is well with the 40k Universe again? Or not? This may be very, very, bad for the hobby as a whole. Stick around read the whole article, take it all in and let me know where you stand. This is a complex and […]

So a few weeks ago I posted about how I let my buddy Master Shake borrow my Iron Hands, counts as Blood Angels, for ‘Ard Boyz round two. I haven’t fully showcased them on here yet, but basically they’re a converted marine army with tons of bionics. The army itself is pulled together with Adepticus Mechanicus bits, […]

Hey guys! Instead of writing actual content that would be fun and useful to the majority of readers I just wanted to get on here and write a bit of satire about some things swirling around the interwebs yesterday. Remember kids this is only satire, and I don’t even believe half of it (except the […]

Congrats to the winners, another first round has come and gone. This was the article I was going to write about my awesome games and how I qualified for ‘ard Boyz ( notice how I said “was”). Well that didn’t happen exactly (although I will be politicking to get in still). Instead me and my buddy were cheated by […]

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 […]

Well I think we, being the gaming community, should come up with some guidelines for Indy tourneys that GW can choose to adopt if they see fit, or maybe can even be worked into a INAT touney checklist of sorts. We can all cry and moan about problems on the circuit, obviously there have been […]
