Warhammer 40k

One of the most highly requested model kits has now been released in plastic, and best of all you get three in one box! The new kit is by far superior to the old pewter ones.  There is a ton of gubbins in the new box, along with alternate horn options for the Juggernauts as […]

More Awesome armies from BoLS’ War Games Con 2010, this time in Gallery form! THE HIVE MIND ADAPTS!

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 […]

That’s right! In one week, August 25th, I will select another blog follower at random to win this box of brand new Bloodcrushers of Khorne. Obviously friends and family of myself are excluded from winning, sorry getting close to me has drawbacks lol. Well that’s it. So spread the word and if you haven’t signed […]

We’re starting a 40k Campaign this Wednesday at FTW Games, and I thought it would be awesome to revisit the old Vogen system.  I lucked out and still had the old PDFs of the campaign.  So I converted them over to the 5th edition rules set for everyone to use!If you decide to run the […]

This awesome conversion is from isotope99 over on the BoLS Lounge.  I was REALLY impressed with it so I thought I’d share.  isotope99: “The last of my four greater daemons is the Nurgle special character Ku’Gath. It says in the codex that he takes his laboratory with him and rides in a planquin. I updated […]

Here is an awesome preview of the New Space Marine Video Game from THQ, courtesy of Bell of Lost Souls. Check out all the videos over on the BoLS YouTube Channel– MBG

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
