Oh how I love Forge World, and Tau. For me there is just something about mecha robots all running around shooting things, and FW always seems to do it right. Checkout the latest offering from them the XV107 R’Varna Battlesuit (aka the Super Battle Droid), available in linted quantities at the UK games day in […]

A friend of mine did this little Tau Riptide diorama recently while we were painting models together at our local Games Workshop Bowie store and I thought Spikey Bits readers would really enjoy seeing it.It’s not part of an army collection, but rather a singular little hobby diversion for the fun of painting something different.

Clocking in at about 110 pages (like the Iyanden supplement), this supplement again features only about two pages of “must have” 40k relevant rules (as well as Warzone missions, and other various scenarios towards the back of the […]

Well it looks like the new Tau Farsight Enclave supplement has gone up for pre-order on Black Library’s digital versions site.We still have no idea what if any rules relevant to games of 40k will be in there, but it appears the price is the same as the hardcover version. What do you guys think […]

As you may have noticed we stopped accepting orders over a month ago for “Pre-Release” Tau items.Due to Games Workshop’s inability to provide North America with sufficient product for a normal monthly release, most mail order retailers oversold their allocation of Tau as supply could not meet demand. But there is a light at the end of the tunnel! […]

Though I’ve been going by the Internet hobby handle “Brass Scorpion” for a few years now, anyone who’s checked out my hobby articles over time knows that I dabble in a lot of Games Workshop model ranges besides Chaos.  I’ve been sitting on a pile of Tau stuff since their previous Codex release and added […]
