The whole Spikey Bits crew will be in attendance with a huge booth of discount Games-Workshop products, sprues and bits for you to dig through! […]

The NOVA decision at this time is to go forward with 5th Edition “unless GW releases a 6th Edition prior to June.” Our staff has been studying the question and we find the 6th edition release date (purported to be mid-summer) is based entirely on internet rumors, and a leaked PDF of limited authenticity. The […]

Every good thing must come to an end, and now as I sit writing this in my hotel room I can’t help but wish I had played this weekend. My ATC teammates Nick Rose, Thomas Reidy, and Kenny Boucher took first, second, and third respectively in the invitational, and I would have really welcomed a […]

But whats different about this is that while […]

Wow what a week for all of us on the East Coast! First was an Earthquake of all things, about 30 miles from Spikey Bits Central, then of course a hurricane skirted up the coast, dumping a ton of rain and knocking out power all over the place.  Somewhere in middle of all that Nova […]

Here is the list (more or less I think I edited it some towards the end) I took at War Games Con.  It served me well! I had 4 wins and going into day 2 I was on Table 11.  That would have probably gone well for me, if I had shown up to play […]
