40k Contest DreadKnight Enteries Due Next Friday 4/22

Posted by Man Boy Genius Friday, April 15, 2011 View Comments

Well were just one week away from entries being due, and man I've seen some cool WIP stuff so far. I cant wait to see the finished entries.

If you plan to enter make sure you submit your entry to my email by midnight next Friday April 22nd.

Good luck to all!!!

Rules recap below!



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.

The theme of the contest is to make a Non-Astates pattern DreadKnight, so that mean absolutely no power armor.  So Marines (both Chaos and loyalist) are out, but pretty much everything else is in. This technically includes Adeptus Mechanicus, but not Adeptus Custodes.

Some cool stuff I've heard being kicked around are Eldar Avatars, Daemon Knights, DeffKnights, and CarniDreads, lol. So the results should be pretty awesome.

You must also order your DreadKnight model from Spikey Bits Mail Order to enter. You can email us or call  804-464-1873 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting            804-464-1873      end_of_the_skype_highlighting to order. I am sorry BUT we do not really ship internationally at this time, however if you email the link above we can figure something out shipping wise for those really intent on participating (thank you).

From there make your conversion, and take some pictures of it (no college pics though please).  Send them to us by 12 Midnight April 22nd (Eastern US Time), and then we'll post them up for viewing/ judging shortly after!

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!!!!

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.

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!

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
