Conversions

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 a one man wolfpack of Nurgle […]

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 […]

Checkout this version of Abaddon, all converted up to resemble the classic figure.I found this guy surfing the webs the other day, and thought I would share!  He’s over at Chaos Brushes, another great blog all about the hobby we all love. It looks like he’s mostly made from the Plastic Chaos Terminator kit, and […]

Check out this super easy to make “Gothic” styled loyalist Space Marine. Originally this was my test mini for a new Black Templars army, but he could easily sub for any chapter espically Dark Angels! And since everyone and their mom will have some Dark Angels soon form the Dark Vengeance Starter, this conversion can […]

This sweet conversion popped up over on Bolter and Chainsword recently.Rottimus posted an A-10 Warthog “counts as” Stormraven, and it’s pretty cool looking. He has some WIP shots, and his final product posted up on there all in the same convenient thread (see below). I think his conversion stays true to the design elements of […]

Beef made a rare appearance the other day around the store, and brought some projects with him.One of which was a Terminator Cyclone Launcher WIP (Work In Progress), with extra goodies. The missiles he used are from the Armorcast line of pewter upgrades, and at around $5 for 4 they are priced pretty good IMHO. […]

Checkout this pretty cool Scratch Built Tau Manta Super Heavy Flyer by Graven Games.From Graven Games’ Site;We’ve decided to kick off the projects section of Graven Games with a bang. Not many people are crazy enough to attempt scratchbuilding a model as huge as a Tau Manta for Warhammer 40k Apocalypse …but we definitely are!  Follow our journey […]

Check out this amazing Master of the Forge! I got an email the other day with a link to this article, and was really taken aback. Being a follower of the Cult of the Machine myself, see my Custom Iron Angels Chapter here, I really really love this model. This come to us from Graven […]

Today I took another crack at converting one of the hottest bits on the market today; the Combi-Melta gun. Here at Spikey Bits, we still cant seem to keep this particular bit in stock, and routinely cut down whole commander kits at a time, just for this one component. It’s pretty bad when I don’t […]

Check out this crazy sweet dreadnought conversion from Black Matt’s Black Legion blog. I saw this the other day and was really impressed with it. Whenever I see a figure (vehicle or infantry) with all sorts of weapons strapped to it, I think of an old short story from back in the day that featured such warriors. […]

First off let me be the first to thank everyone for their overwhelming interest in this project.I can’t remember the last time a conversion I did was so well received. Heck this baby even ended up on the front page of the Warhammer Reddit for awhile! This model’s official designation is the Stormhound Assault Walker […]

It’s been a week since the new flyers released, and today I have for you a closer look at Jkin’s Stormtalon Attack Helicopter conversion.Its still a work in progress, but I figured I’d show it off to help inspire mad converters out there, as to the potential of this kit! Be sure to checkout the original post here. http://blog.spikeybits.com/2012/06/stormtalon-helicopter-work-in-progress.html – Have […]

Another one of my first blog articles back in 2009 was this converted Vendetta.I converted up two Vendetta “Choppas” for my Orky Guard army, and they seemed to go over well.  I figured I’d share these again since flyers are out, and some readers may have not seen them yet. To make it I started out with […]

Today I have for you a blast from the past, the Sparrowhawk.This conversion is one of the first articles I ever did for the blog, and look whats out now, a bunch of new flyer models.   I think it’s also one of the coolest conversions I’ve ever done as well I’ts funny because I […]

This is just a quick shot of my Work in Progress (WIP) Stormhound assault walker.Obviously, I made this conversion from a Stormtalon and a Defiler. What is an assault walker you ask? Well I don’t exactly know yet, to be honest, but I envision a baby titan that can fit in places tanks and big titans cant. […]
