Well we’re back again with my review of the new Stormraven, which I found to be very innovative and daringly designed. Publishing note- this is the second post of this article due to some mis-communication I had to take it down the first time. Like it or love it the new kit is here. I […]

This post kicks off a new series of articles on Spikey Bits called Conversion Potential. The aim of these random musings is to show off something I saw that is awesome and how it can be used in the hobby. This week I feature a model from the Hell Dorado miniature game that is just […]

This is another guest post by FTW Games regular Meeker. Like a lot of people around the shop, he got into Dystopian Wars recently. Read on to find out how he painted his Federated States of America Battlegroup, and feel free to catch up with him over at the Stony Point Refugee (SPR) Forums, Painting […]

Recently a buddy of mine here at the shop named Beef (hold the cheddar) let me in on a little conversion secret- Thunder Wolves for $1.50 each. Of course this was of interest to me, so I wanted to see these models for myself.  When he brought them by I blown away, this wolf was […]

This is a bit of a guest post by FTW Games regular Meeker. I may have browbeat the article out of him, but hey Dystopian wars is red hot right now and everyone wants to know more about it! Recently Meeker, like a lot of people around the shop, got into Dystopian Wars and are […]

I used to really enjoy an old article in Inquest Magazine (published for Magic the Gathering) called Dead Man’s Hand.  You would only have one turn left and you had to kill your opponent that turn, or you lose. They showed you your hand and the battlefield, and you had to come up with the […]

If you are in the market for a new Warhammer 40k Army I have several for sale on e-Bay right now! Just in time for the holidays- you can check them out here.

There is a regular here at FTW Games named Blaine Toups, aka Dingareth on the internets. He’s a nice enough fellow, I mean I’ve driven with him to several tournaments lately (BoLScon, and DaBoyz), so I mean I got no beef with him or anything. Blaine however keeps digging at me about how his Stormraven […]

I wanted to share a WIP Dark Eldar Scourge conversion with you by FTW Games regular Mike DeBolt. Some of you may rememeber Mike from the Games Workshop store at Stony Point before it closed. Mike has been hard at work lately converting up some Scourges. I wanted to get a pic of the models […]

Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner. First off a big thank you to everyone who voted, and made a submission for this contest!  The readers have spoken and we have a winner, by a good margin in fact, by the name of Sam Lenz. Not only did Sam submit one model, he went the extra mile and […]

Hey guys. This was send in to me by Stephan from his blog, Alles, nur keine1.  He made a pretty sweet Wolf Priest conversion using the pewter head and crozius from the old model, and the current Wolf Guard plastics.  He also added a little more fur to cover the gash that was left from […]

Dave Taylor is auctioning off his custom Adeptus Custodes army to help some friends of his. You can check out the Custodes Army here. Be sure to also go by his blog to read about the friends he is helping. Dave is a great guy, kudos to him for doing this. Here is a bigger […]

Here’s a little article about updating terrain pieces you may have already, with some of the plastic kits Games Workshop has put out over the last few years. By combining old buildings and ruins with the new kits, you can make a fluid looking theme out of two different designs of terrain. I originally made […]

I have to admit I’ve never had a harder time giving away free stuff (fairly).   So I have come up with a new idea, make it harder to win. I know, I know it’s not what you as a potential winner wants to hear, but give me a second to explain.  People are lazy, […]

Recently I went a little crazy with some more Imperial Guard Conversions. I was inspired by the new Wargames Factory Shock Troopers to make some more Renegades / Greatcoats. My buddy Mike made this great renegade Stormtrooper drop trooper  out of the normal Forgeworld renegade commander, some M.A.S. Wings, and a M.A.S. Base. If you […]

Check out these “evolved” Bloodcrushers models from Isotope99.  The speed at which this guy cranks stuff out is amazing (I may be secretly jealous). Plus his stuff is always very well done. Kudos to Isotope99! Here’s an except from his post over on Bell of Lost Souls: “I’ve combined the new bloodcrusher kit with leftovers […]

Recently I had this awesome Bjorn the Fell Handed conversion sent to me by Joe Carlson.  What I like about it is that it’s deceptively simple, yet has depth to it.  At first glance you don’t see any green stuff or card, but it still has a lot of detail that makes this model very […]
