Welcome back to more Orkuisition madness! Well Master Shake is really putting his all into this Converted Grey Knight Army, and I hope you are enjoying watching it develop as much as I am. Check out this Work In Progress shot of his “Deff Knight” counts as conversion.  Right now he feverishly working on the […]

Welcome to the new segment here on Spikey Bits called Armies on Parade.  Eventually if you click on the Armies on Parade label you will be able to scroll through some great looking armies all at once. It’s like you were at a major event, all from the comfort of your home or smart phone. […]

MBG here with a possibly blasphemous question; why take a Librarian in a Grey Knight army? Sure, sure, the benefits are obvious; extra cover saves with Shrouding, extra Hammerhands, Armor Penetration from Might of Titans, and fun with Sanctuary, etc. just to name a few. But seriously though, is it worth taking a Librarian? I’m starting to say nay my friends […]

Well believe it or not ‘Ard Boyz prelims are almost here, and all the boys and girls are getting ready for battle!  The thing I’ve come to love about this event, is the complete shift in meta away from any standard tournament circuit type series. At ‘Ard Boyz you’ll see the most random lists in addition to a […]

So I need to get my creative juices flowing and maybe you can help.  I’ve had these converted Terminators for a few years now, and just got around to augmenting them with newer bits and such for my Iron Hands Army. Originally I wanted them to be all sweet Pre-Heresy style, but eventually I just settled on […]

I just updated the Spikey Bits Gallery a bit with some new work, as well as some older stuff.  There is a ton more material to go through, so stay tuned for that! If you have any questions about how I painted a particular fig please email me and I will be glad to help […]

Madness? This is the Orkuisition. Check out this Orky monstrosity inspired by my Looted Imperial Guard. My buddy Master Shake is making a Grey Knights / Inquisition themed army, and this is his first conversion; the Grot Raider Crusader (counts as, of course). As you can see many, many Trukks and Battlewagons died to fuel this conversion (no Bothan’s however […]

Since  all the new Space Marine books came out with rules for Razorbacks armed with Twin Linked Assault Cannon turrets, there has been quite a high demand for that turret loadout. Unfortunately the only way to actually get one is the Land Raider Crusader / Redeemer kit for $66, a price which has made the turret go for […]

Besides declare Waaaagh on the other gaming tables, of course? Bad Orky gorilla jokes aside, recently I decided to set up all my Ork models to take some pictures for the blog and prep for an upcoming Apocalypse game.  As it turns out I have a bunch of models, an embarrassing large amount actually, so many in fact that I […]

I remember the dark skies, the smell of brimstone and death hanging high almost as if to linger in the air.  The year was 2003, the Chaos Space Marines were on the warpath, and it was good to be bad. Nowadays while the skies have cooled with the times (and their abomination of a “5th […]

Part of the Adepticon Weekend the Team Championship is […]

Welcome to the new segment here on Spikey Bits called Armies on Parade.  Wait whuuuuut you ask? Well Armies on Parade here at Spikey Bits is a daily pic of a sweet army (or two) that caught my eye at a major event such as Games Day, WarGamesCon, Adepticon, Etc.  I tend to play in […]

I have to admit, the one thing hobby related that I have always shied away from was doing snow on bases. No clue why…. I can pin, sculpt, build stuff from scratch etc, but I always run screaming when it comes to doing snow. Why? I have no clue. I suppose it has to do with messing up and ruining a […]

Okay so first off yeah I suck. I suck because, well I sold out the blog since May. Why, well long story short owning your own business makes for long hours sometimes.  I know, I know, that’s not your problem. You just want to read some sweet bat reps and hobby articles already. And seriously […]

Well the due date came and went, and when the dust settled we got in some really awesome entries! We sold a TON of Dreadknights over on the Spikey Bits store for this contest, it is really cool to see a bunch all converted up. So a big thanks  to everyone who took the time […]

Some of you may remember the cool Storm Wardens Charity Project from last year. This year John and Mike (from Santa Cruz Warhammer,) wanted to do the same thing because lets face it, the world needs even more help this year. This year we have four build teams working on four 3,000 point armies, all to […]

Hey all, just wanted to post this up before I crashed from driving back from Chicago. Team Spikey Bits aka (I’m a Bear- put your head in my mouth) took first place at in the Team Tournament this weekend at Adepticon. We narrowly edged out last years winners Team Shatner by 7 points! I will […]
