This awesome conversion is from isotope99 over on the BoLS Lounge.  I was REALLY impressed with it so I thought I’d share.  isotope99: “The last of my four greater daemons is the Nurgle special character Ku’Gath. It says in the codex that he takes his laboratory with him and rides in a planquin. I updated […]

Well it took me long enough (sorry Chris) but here is a great looking Tyranid Army by Chris Showers.  I played against this army at Cabin Fever ’10 GT in Harrisburg, PA, and I was floored by the looks it. What makes this army even better is the fact that those Hive Guards were painted […]

Recently I had a few requests for some articles that focused more on some of the basic hobby techniques I use, and I thought this was a great idea. I would always get fired up myself when I was reading a painting magazine and they would just skim over a crucial step for something I […]

Recently at FTW Games we had to get a lot of terrain made up for our 40k RTT.  Fortunately the local gaming club, Stony Point Refugees, had a bunch of Cities of Death buildings assembled. So I opted for the quick and easy route and based them all with Foamboad (also known as Foamcore). Why […]

Well true believers, I have managed to just about finish up my Stormraven Conversion. I know, I know, it took like two months but to be fair I did open up a gaming shop in there someplace! I really tried to put a lot of detail into this puppy and actually rebuilt it twice, as […]

Hey guys. Got a few more WIP pics of the store for you to check out.  I’ve officially named the store FTW Games (yeah it stands for For The Win lol).  Hopefully I’ll be open soon! More to come shortly!

Well it’s been another month has gone by, and we have a new winner for my monthly give-away I have selected a winner, at random, for the Death Co. Box. His blogger name is Chris Minor. So he’s got about a week to reply back to my email with his address and then I’ll send […]

These were painted up by my friend, Brother Chaplain Ginn for some recent GW Hobby Store painting competitions.  Unfortunately they both lost- lol.  It was mostly because we don’t shop there very much, and the locals voted for their own even though these blew all contenders out of the water. Gooooo Team! Checkout the putty […]

Before I went and basecoated up the titan I noticed the Turbo Lasers were kinda bland. I had forgotten that they didn’t make a Chaos version of these weapons (sad panda). So I had to whip something up quick to get the Titan done for the apoc game we were playing that weekend, cause I […]

It’s been a few weeks since the Blood Angels codex came out, and well I’m still reeling with how to deal with them. The main problems are that they close way to quick with my battle line, whether its 18″ rhinos or podding/ deep striking, and I cant shake them off quick enough.  So in […]

Back when I was getting my Orks army together, I decided that I wanted the little guys to have a little character. After all the Orks are a fun and unpredictable army, so why no jazz it up a little bit? Well I have to admit I went a little crazy with these guys. For […]

Well I guess its been about a year now since GW game out with the Vendetta Model, and with it ignited a rules firestorm that still flares up to this day. The one question remains; How do you play it?  Good Question.  Is it a skimmer? If so why is it on that $#%*-ing stupidly […]

A few months ago I went to Cabin Fever GT in Harrisonburg, PA. There was a ton of great looking armies there and I got permission from their owners to post them up. The first army was Death Guard by Doug Waltman.  Doug is a really cool dude, and volunteers to help run Mechanicon GT, […]

MBG back again with my Blood Angels Playtest Game 3 Video. This time though it’s different- I’m running the Blood Angels, and Travis is playing Orks. Can you say Ghaz vs. Mephiston??!! I also have switched up the list, turning it more into a drop/ aggro assault army then the mech version I was running […]

This was the third rewrite of my Blood Angels list. I kinda did it on the fly too, and made some mistakes, BUT I knew I wanted to play around with Mephiston. As TPM Blood Angel pointed out Mephiston is a Death Star, able to kill with realitive ease most units in the game.  However […]

Well the last give-away went so well, it looks like I’m going to turn this into a monthly thing for as long as I can. So without further adieu, I present the Spikey Bits Monthly Give-Away. On May 12th I will select another blog follower at random and they will win this box of brand […]

Well I’ve been diligently working on this guy off and on for the past week or so. Here is where I’m at now. I’m just waiting on a few things from Forge World to finish it up and then post the how to guide.  Of course you don’t have to use the FW parts I’m […]
