Check out this fantastic Daemon Prince Conversion by Brass Scorpion.  He used bits from the new Plastic Daemon Prince, Chaos Spawn, Defiler, and more. Below are some great shots of this guy painted up. Would you believe that he painted the whole model in just a few days?

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 […]

Hey guys. Here’s some of the armies from the Team Tournament at War Games Con. Me and TPM Blood Angel got fifth overall, after being beat on table one. 🙁 Anyways there was a ton of great looking armies at this event, so check them out! Well that’s it, more coverage to come soon! (yes […]

We’re getting back into the swing of things around here, and with the new Daemon releases this week I felt it was time to once again present the Spikey Bits Monthly Give-Away.  On August 25th I will select another blog follower at random to win this box of brand new Bloodcrushers of Khorne. Obviously friends […]

Yup our next Miniature Market will be on Sept. 4th at 11am. It also happens to be the same day the new Warhammer Fantasy 8th Edition Box Sets go on sale. So there is two great reasons to come up (well three if you count swapping out your High Elves or Skaven models for even […]

That’s right! I won the category for best Fantasy Monster, and Best Scratch Built Miniature at War Games Con (formerly BoLS Con) this weekend with my Lash Prince of Slaanesh.  Here are some pics of him in case you missed him earlier in the year. Slaaneshi yes? -MBG

Here’s a quick look at the base I used for my Warhound titan.  I kinda cheated and just took a Masonite stand I had cut out and sanded down years before, and pinned the Titan down to it for extra stability.  I used both a sharpie pen, and some back paint to “dot” the end […]

Here’s a quick look at some Marauder conversions I’m doing for my new Warriors of Chaos Army. I wasn’t quite satisfied with the look of the older models, so I took Empire Flagellants and jazzed them up a bit.  I added a Marauder Horsemen Head, Kroot Shoulder Pad, and a Shoulder Pad from the Vampire […]

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 I’m back with some great hobby advice to save you time and money, “counts as”.  We’ve all got less and less time lately and it seems like there is no shortage of models to build, so what’s better than to get the models you want, AND actually play with them?  With me I just […]

As many of you know I spent the better part of May opening up a game store in Richmond, Virginia (with lots of help I might add). Last weekend was FTW Games’ Grand Opening, and it was a blast. We had three special guests, Harry Heckel author of two Space Wolves novels, Bob Weiss aka […]

In my early testing I was so enamored with fast moving troop squads that I didn’t pay a lot of attention to some of the more expensive units in the codex. After the love fest with 60 assault marines wore off (and really what isn’t there to love?) I started to tool around with honor […]

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 […]

Now that things have settled down around the new store, Spikey Bits is getting back to normal. I just finished up the Stormraven, and started up on a Fantasy army for 8th Edition- more on that soon! Be sure to checkout the store blog at www.ftwgames.net -MBG TPM here asking: Why haven’t we seen more […]

Sorry for the break in the action, but I bring news!  I’ve been working on a new store in Richmond, Virginia for the past few weeks. Its coming along great and I hope to be open soon!  More details to come, but here’s some WIP pics. -MBG

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 […]

TPM Blood Angel is back with some thoughts about everyones favorite bonus tank rule, The Power of the Machine Spirit. I have not been all about the Storm Raven like a lot of Blood Angel players. I just don’t think it will make it into the most competitive builds, but I might be wrong. The […]
