New from MBG industries (the mad genius who brought you Battlewagon Bits and Spikey Bits) comes the Fat Sak o’ Bits. Whittled away for years in the dark closet of power was a collection of bits so vast, so powerful that they had to be hidden from the world- less they devour it with their […]

This is the first of many variants for the Stormraven Gunship I could come up with.  It is loosely based of off the Terminus Ultra Land Raider, except it’s got wings!  The premise behind the vehicle is basic search and destroy operations, where terrain/ conditions are not conductive to deployment of troops or heavy tanks.  […]

I have to admit, the Stormraven kit really kicked my butt. Maybe I was just preoccupied with things around the shop, or just tired from the night before- either way I still managed to screw it up a bit.  Regardless this kit is pretty cutting edge and it’s a blast to assemble. First off, when […]

That’s right true believers, the man who brought you Battlewagon Bits, is back im the bits business again, over the Spikey Bits Store. Be sure to check it out, there is a ton of stuff for sale right now, with many many more items planned for the coming weeks! We also carry regular Games Workshop, […]

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 […]

It seems (around the store at least) like a great shadow has been cast over eighth edition Warhammer Fantasy.  Not as many people are playing here, and their chief complaint is the Magic Phase.  So some of our players here have searched the internets for a fix to some of the problems, and this is […]

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 […]

Over the past few years I’ve been privileged to meet a lot of great hobbyists out there. One such fellow is Dan Johnson. Dan produces amazingly realistic Marine conversion that are really just phenomenal. In addition to cranking out great conversions, he has been busy winning awards at both BolsCon (WarGamesCon) and Baltimore Games Day […]

Recently we had a huge game of Apocalypse at FTW Games, with well over 50,000 points of models on the table.  It turned out to be a fast and furious battle of epic proportions, but it the end the Imperium of man defended sector 13176 from the combined Apocalyptic forces of Chaos and Orks. Several […]

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 […]
