Okay so there seems to be a bit of confusion about my previous post, so I just wanted let everyone know the official rules for this contest. This is a conversion contest.  Entries do not have to be painted, but you can paint you entries. LOL make sense? So if you paint your conversion, then […]

I have been pretty busy lately gearing up for Adepticon ’11. Right now I am not 100% sure on all the events I will play in, but I know for sure I’ll be hitting up the Gladiator, because its the event I really like out of all of them.As fate would have it, we are […]

What up everyone? It’s Meeker again, and this time I even have something 40k related. MBG has gotten me to write a number of scenarios for tournaments. We finally decided to start keeping track of them all and posting them for everyone’s use, so please feel free to use them in your next event!The first […]

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.  […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

I like a lot of the ideas so I think I’m going to use some different ones for each month just to keep it fresh and exciting. First off we will re-do the Bloodcrusher Give-Away for the official Contest #1.  […]

Hey guys. This was send in to me by Stephan from his blog, Alles, nur keine1.  He made a pretty sweet Wolf Priest conversion using the pewter head and crozius from the old model, and the current Wolf Guard plastics.  He also added a little more fur to cover the gash that was left from […]

Well another week came and went, and still no winners have contacted me yet- sorry I meant to post this sooner.  I had to cover the store all week because my primary guy was sick, soooo yep still no winner.   I have to admit I’ve never had a harder time giving away free stuff (fairly).  […]

Here’s a little article about updating terrain pieces you may have already, with some of the plastic kits Games Workshop has put out over the last few years. By combining old buildings and ruins with the new kits, you can make a fluid looking theme out of two different designs of terrain. I originally made […]
