Warhammer 40k News

Well with all the hub bub over the new Blood Angels I nearly forgot to get my Adepticon Coverage in. I will correct that slight right now. So here are some more beautiful armies to gawk at! If you can make it next year I definitely recommend the event. -MBG My favorites are the defiler […]

Hey guys, MBG back again with a Blood Angels Playtest Video of game 2. Again we tried out the following list vs. my Mech guard. Overall it was a good learning experience for what the new ‘Angels are capable of, and how to go about it. I like the fast moving vehicles, and the psykers, […]

Who’s a big blog? That’s right true believers, Spikey Bits is one year old today!  Anyways thanks to all for reading and responding for the last year.  Hopefully there will be many many more years to come! I have selected a winner, at random, for the Venerable Dreadnought. His blogger name is Hussar, and according […]

That’s right true believers, in less than one week, April 12th to be exact, I’ll be selecting a follower at random to receive a free Venerable Dreadnought! Since there is indeed over 100 followers now, I’ll be hard pressed to find a die for that to roll, so I’ll just be selecting at random. Best […]

Deep down inside me I knew it was going to come to this. I would fall to the sweet siren song of converting up a Stormraven, and there was nothing anyone, not even my girlfriend, could do about (trust me she tried). Going in I had a good idea of what I had in mind, […]

MBG here with another guest article by TPM Blood Angel; “To Mech or Not to Mech? Part II” Not to Mech. Troops and Elite Choices – I included them together because they are essentially the same. Ok, I’ve been messing around with army list builds and based on some feedback from a few other ghost […]

I’d like to intorduce our first guest writer here at Spikey Bits, TPM Blood Angel. Paul has been playing Blood Angels probably longer than most, and even won Baltimore GT with them.  Since the new BA’s are coming out soon I’ve asked him to do a write up on them. With the new Blood Angel […]

Today I wanted to talk about my Nob Biker squad, and their custom bases. This is kinda of a summary repost from my original three blog posts back in April ’09, but now that I got more followers I want to get some input on them. The best thing you can do to really show […]

Well its morning here at Adepticon 2010. Here is a look at the scenery for the 40k events, and some sample armies that look great. The terrain looks great, and is pretty varied throughout the tables themselves, so I doubt anyone will play on the same table twice.

MBG back again with an interesting debate, which Inquisitor ally do you take?  It seems like more and more players take an Inquisitor ally with Mystics to protect against deep strike threats like Daemons, Drop Marines, and shortly Decent of Angels. Now we’re all adding in a Psychic Hood for threats like Tyranids, Space Wolves, […]

Just two days to go till the Gladiator Tourney at Adepticon for some fun times and good battles. I just finalized my list and I have to say I’m pretty happy with it.  I’m not taking any Super-Heavies, but I think I have plenty of firepower to deal with them- ten Lascannons, and 2 Maticores […]

Hey everyone. I’m back with what I think is my best bug conversion to date; The Slitherqueen.  This baddie will be the leader of my Waterbugz as they decimate the Ultramar sector, or at least central Virginia lol.  Well as you can see I used the same theme as my Slitherfexes, but added some armor […]

It seems like time does fly- because almost one year ago, April 12th to be exact, I started this blog. It’s definitely been fun and kept me well motivated to get projects done to share them with everyone. I sincerely hope you all have gotten something out of it as well, too. Sooooo I thought […]

I played in a 2500 ‘Ard Boyz Tourney over the weekend at Groovy Geckos Comic and Games in Williamsburg, VA.  It’s a pretty cool store, and has a new owner now who is very motivated and cool to be around.  If you are ever on vacation in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia (Yorktown, Norfolk, […]

So far we’re up to working on the pistons and weapons for Warhound #1.  We knocked the rest of that assembly out in one night, and managed to clean and trim the weapons. We went ahead and cleaned up all the weapons I bought for both Warhounds just so we could have options to use […]

My friend and avid hobbyist Rich Ditzler recently conceived and came up with an amazing Imperial Fortress for a recent Apocalypse game.  I can only image the time and patience it took to make something of this size. You can see more pics and how he made this behemoth on his blog, Bossman’s Bitz Box. […]

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 […]

Well I’m still brainstorming over the new orks since the drop of the FAQ a few days ago.  I’ve heard good things about burna drive-bys so I thought I’d work up a super aggro list.  While I’m sure it will do fine against mech and marines, long range standoff may be its undoing. Again this […]
