Spikey Bits was founded in 2009 by hobbyist Rob Baer. For over 15 years, we have produced entertaining and informative articles and videos about tabletop gaming and miniatures.
Our articles and videos cover all aspects of the tabletop games industry, including popular product lines like Warhammer 40k from Games Workshop, Magic the Gathering by Wizards of the Coast, Star Wars Legion, Shatterpoint, and Marvel Crisis Protocol from Atomic Mass Games. Not to mention tons of Kickstarters, board games, RPGs, and other tabletop miniatures game products and manufacturers.
It is our mission to bring you entertaining and informative videos about the miniature wargaming scene, from painting how-to videos, battle reports, unboxings and reviews, retro flashbacks, news, rumors, and more.
We'll show you all the aspects of the tabletop gaming hobby, from converting and painting miniatures to actually playing the games themselves.

I just bought a single box and based everything on single bases instead of squads... and you can just play normal hours heresy but small. Works on a 1x1 mini board and it's awesome
Imagine that, a product made to strip paint off models is pretty good at stripping paint of models :p No need to play Jr. Chemist with your cleaning supplies.
I recently brought a Spiritseer, a Wraithknight and two Wraithseer's to a 2000 point Custodes match. My 900 point army won by a point difference of two points, somehow.

I think calling these Cadian proxies is doing them a disservice. These to me are "near future" Marines, closer to Aliens than to 40K.

I was really hoping he wouldn't be on his tactical kragnos rock. Clear flyer bases aren't much better but poses on the base either landing or taking off are coolest.
Why the paints works with your Airbrush? I bought them and every single paint of it block my nozzle immediately. They are a nightmare. I need a lot of time to get this garbage out of my airbrush again. With a single drop of flow improver helps nothing.
No machines... Background should be hand painted, and models hand sculpted, also no cameras,..... Yep all those museum banana in a wall lovers sure get triggered by AI.
Primaris marines overall have a way better aesthetic, it’s extremely boring and generic, which means it’s perfect for expanding into your own aesthetic. The heresy stuff is too much of its own design scheme, and is a lot harder to make look good as a custom
