Conversion Corner

Greetings Spikey Bits Readers! Ginge here with a guest article about something particularly close to my modelling heart – cool conversion projects!Now “cool conversion project” is very much a catch all term, and I have seen beautiful Mechanicus armies or Custodes forces. Then there are those less rooted in the 40k universe, that take inspiration […]

Greetings fellow wargamers!  A few weeks ago I got a hold of a trove of Daemon Prince bits from an ebay seller.  They were mostly old pewter bits and about 6 sets of legs!I’m not sure why they had all these, but I wasn’t one to argue a point.  There were bits to be had […]

Today we have a great guest post by Rage of Khorne from The Order of Chaos gaming club. This is a very nicely done walk though on how he built and painted his Nurgle Obliterators for his WIP Word Bearers Army. By Rage of Khorne For this article I will be using the following tools: Hobby […]

My mom always told me where there is a will, there is a way.  Turns out she was mostly right.Back in the day I wanted a Voltron combiner toy, but being pretty poor at the time well my parents couldn’t make it happen.  But I never really liked being told no when I wanted something, […]

Hello everyone, my name is Jack, and I’ve been an alcoholic- Er I mean hobbyist, for the better part of eleven or twelve years now. I’m not even sure anymore.Like you, I’ve got a serious problem with plastic toy soldiers. I need more of them. Especially because I’m a chaos player and they’re suddenly 13 […]

What’s big and mean and green all over?  No, this is not a snappy pun, it’s our custom converted Gargantuan Squiggoth of course!!!!We’ve done our fair share of squiggoths over the years, including this insane Rock Band squiggoth for a most appreciative client.  Regardless of which we learned one thing . . . people love squiggoths! Squiggoths are always […]

Checkout this awesome piece of function terrain by Saw Studios.No only is this exhaust stack a great place to roll dice, or leave them to languish in the dip (for misbehaving), it also works on tabletop as well! What I like most about this piece of terrain is that its made with miniatures in mind. Meaning well, […]

Welcome to Army of One, where I display a great looking painted model from stuff I’ve done or amazing figures I’ve seen around. If you click on the Army of One label you’ll be able to scroll through some great looking figures, all at once. Today we take a look at some pretty killer conversions from Adepticon 2012 […]

Since Games Workshop just released some cool new Warriors Of Chaos models for Warhammer Fantasy I thought it might be good timing to talk about creating large centerpieces for that army.After all if you love Chaos you probably love monsters and the bigger the better! Giants are a classic monster from many ancient mythologies and […]

Caleb here from White Metal Games, with a sweet Daemon Prince Fulgrim for you to checkout!A few weeks ago we converted up a Magnus the Red!  It was so coveted it sold in less than a day after being posted on ebay! Our conversion engines were so revved at that point, we just had to […]

Hobbimaniacs! Today we are bringing in some great retro feels! Here is a Pre-Heresy Ahriman of Prospero for you to feast your eyes upon!

Caleb from White Metal Games put this conversion guide together for all those Warmasters out there suffering from a lack of equipment courtesy of Games Workshop.A few weeks ago we sold our first commissioned 40k army.  It was a 1500 point list and it was a blind bid.  By blind bid I mean we boasted we could do any […]

Dark Angels collectors, gamers and modelers will probably be wanting to build and paint more than one of those beautiful Dark Angels Deathwing Terminator squads from the new Warhammer 40,000 Dark Vengeance starter set. If you’re like me (and I know I am) you will also probably want to vary the poses a little bit […]

Greetings fellow wargamers!  From time to time I am called upon to build the Primarch of a Legion.  I’ve done a few incarnations of Fulgrim now, including this one, and this one, and at least one Angron. Admittedly, not every figure is my most popular model.  The Angron and larger Fulgrim figures were just too […]

Every Ork pilot wants “more dakka” on their Dakkajet and the rules allow for it, but there’s no standard way of doing it in the kit. Once again, it’s up to us Meks to come up with a way to squeeze an extra pair of guns onto our models. I’ve seen people do this a […]

Today we have a guest post by Caleb over at White Metal Games, on some custom Mieotic Spores! These things are pretty neat in game, and honestly I think every ‘Nid player should own three.  But they’re a tad bit pricey from Forge World (what isn’t right?) Checkout his article on how to make some […]

Checkout this hot Hellbrute of Khorne by Robert Weiss (aka Brass Scorpion).Bob entered this into our “Free Dark Vengeance Hobby Contest” here at Spikey Bits, and as I saw the Work In progress shots on his Facebook I asked him to do a little write up on it, as I am a bit of a […]
