Posted by Man Boy Genius Monday, March 28, 2011 View Comments

I'm back with more on my new Space Marine army that I'm taking to Adepticon! I have to tell you I'm really looking forward to not playing Mech Guard the whole time this year.

Anyways back to the army. I'm running a 6 Dreadnought Iron Handish Blood Angels backed up by some mans on foot.  More on the actual list later, I'm trying to keep my tech underwraps for now.

40k Contest DreadKnight Mega Build Offical Rules Woot!

Posted by Man Boy Genius Thursday, March 17, 2011 View Comments

Okay so there seems to be a bit of confusion about my previous post, so I just wanted let everyone know the official rules for this contest.

This is a conversion contest.  Entries do not have to be painted, but you can paint you entries. LOL make sense? So if you paint your conversion, then just make sure you take a WIP picture before you paint it so we can all see the work you put into it.

40k Contest- DreadKnight Mega Build of Doom

Posted by Man Boy Genius Wednesday, March 16, 2011 View Comments

Waaaaaaaaaaagh as been declared at Spikey Bits for the new Grey Knight release.  To kick it all off we cranked up the awesome to 11 with the DreadKnight Mega Build Contest!

Entering is easy- all you have to do is pre-order a Dreadknight from Spikey Bits Mail Order, and convert it into a Non-Astartes version of itself by Friday April 22nd. Then us picture of it (no colleges please, but you can send multiple pics), and we'll set them up for judging on the blog!

Checkout the sweet photoshoped DeffKnight for inspiration. Whomever made that was definitely touched by Gork (or possible Mork). 

The winner will receive a Strike Force of 2 Grey Knights Boxes, and one Grey Knight Terminator Box.

WHAT, WHAT, WHAT??!!!! Yep that's right you could win three shiny new box sets of Grey Knights, just for defiling one of their proud vehicles.

So what are you waiting for??? Put on your thinking caps, and get in your pre-order!!!!

Spikey Bits Blog

Spikey Bits is a blog about the hobby of Warhammer 40k and Fantasy Battles, both tabletop wargames. I try to cover all of the aspects of that hobby from converting and painting models to actually playing the game.

By nature I am a competitive tournament player, but my true passion is converting and painting. I will spend more time making a figure than actually playing with it, lol.

The aim of this blog it to keep me motivated to produce new work, and to share my experiences along the way. I very much value all feedback about my work, and will answer any questions about it.

Feel free to send me an email or post a comment about anything on here.

However please no cursing, first offenses will be edited, second offense results in a ban. You can disagree with me of course, just don't curse!

Thanks for reading, and happy gaming. -MBG
