Spikey Bits August 2010 Give-Away Finalists Moros Josh (just josh) Brother Vizlani sam hillman FoxPhoenix135 […]

Recently I had this awesome Bjorn the Fell Handed conversion sent to me by Joe Carlson.  What I like about it is that it’s deceptively simple, yet has depth to it.  At first glance you don’t see any green stuff or card, but it still has a lot of detail that makes this model very […]

I put the finishing touches on my Stormraven Gunship over the weekend, by adding some landing gear and tightening up a few details that were bugging me. When I started this project I was hoping I could make the gear long enough to touch the ground, while allowing some room for the wingtip thrusters to […]

Here are some pics of a Apocalypse Mega Tank Battle we did a few weeks ago at FTW Games. Representing the Orks/ Chaos was several Stompas and a Great Gargant (painted even!). On the Imperial side was a ton of Baneblades, and Leman Russes.   Eeep! Well it didn’t end so good for the bad guys, […]

Here are some more Marauder conversions I whipped up for my Warriors of Chaos army. I wanted to field some great weapon models so I could handle high iniative enemies a little better (ELVES)! All I did for the great weapons was attach the axe heads from the Marauder hand weapons to the flail hilt […]

I’m still on the fence about what I’ll be running at Mechanicon this year. So I tried out a Dred Mob army list today out against my Mech Imperial Guard, and it did quite well. Here is what I ran; Big Mek with Kustom Force Field Ghazghkull Thraka 8x Lootas 8x Lootas 19 Grots w/ […]

This is part 2 of an interview that was started over on BOLS. If you came here from there thanks a lot for following along. We pick up with Nick starting to theorize about list design after coming back from competing in the European Team Championships. Nicholas says: Coming back from the ETC I want […]

For your viewing enjoyment here is a gallery of the conversions I’ve done for the blog.  I’ll be updating the gallery regularly with new work, as well as old work, when I photograph it. If you have any questions about a particular fig please email me and I will be glad to help you as […]

My buddy Joe Carlson came up to me at Games Day last weekend with this very nicely done Abaddon conversion using his pewter bits with a new plastic terminator. I had to take a few pics of the mini so I could share with you all!Get Featured!  If you have a unique conversion and would […]

Here is some HD video of the Golden Demon winners at US Games Day 2010.  Pretty amazing stuff. Congrats to all!

The appointed time has come, and we have a new winner for the Spikey Bits monthly give-away! Since I have a few more followers now, I had to change up how I selected a winner this time.  What I ended up doing was select a finalist at random from each page of followers, and then […]

This is a quick and easy method I use for the white warpaint on my orky vehicles.  The base coat is a foundation color, which is great for going on over the blue paint of the hulls. Now you don’t have to get all fancy and neat and stuff, cause it’s the grots that are […]

I had been thinking about making some “Chaotic” Thunderwolf  Calvary models for awhile now.  When I saw the preview models for the Bloodcrushers a few weeks ago, I knew I’d be adding some “space wolf lords” to my Chaos army. So I just got some of the new Bloodcrushers and started converting them up. Here […]

Man time flies! In two days, August 25th to be exact, I will select another blog follower at random to win this box of brand new Bloodcrushers of Khorne. All you have to do to enter, is be a follower of this blog! -MBG

I saw these guys the other day, along with the Ku’Gath model I posted earlier, and was really really impressed with them. The are brought to us by the same Nuglely genius; isotope99.  This is his walk through of how to make plastic plague bearers (which if you are chaotic at heart like me, this […]

Hey guys, this is a joint article Big Red and I did over at BoLS. The full video of the whole Forge World preview display case is at the bottom.  Be sure to check it out.  Enjoy- MBG Big Red: Well, we got a bunch of pics of the Badab War minis and the cover […]

Well they say everything is bigger in Texas. Cliche I know, but wait till you see this Apocalypse Coverage.  Some of these models were made by Dave Taylor, and Victor Hardy, amazing! Nice huh? -MBG
