Warhammer 40k News

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 […]

That’s right less than one week left until I give away another cool Warhammer kit. On May 12th I will select another blog follower at random and they will win this box of brand new Blood Angels Death Company Marines. (obviously friends and family of myself are excluded from winning) However if the winner chooses […]

TPM Paul Murphy asks, where does guard stack in the current and evolving meta game? Over the years Games Workshop has struggled trying to make the Imperial Guard actually competitive. Every past guard player I have ever known thought that the secret to winning with them was more troops. If they lost a game they […]

That’s pretty much it. I’ve been a part owner or full owner of a bunch already, not to mention a few years of Battlewagon Bits, but I’m feeling the itch again.  It’s been on my mind since I moved back to Virginia. In addition one of the LGSes is closing soon, so there’s not many […]

These were painted up by my friend, Brother Chaplain Ginn for some recent GW Hobby Store painting competitions.  Unfortunately they both lost- lol.  It was mostly because we don’t shop there very much, and the locals voted for their own even though these blew all contenders out of the water. Gooooo Team! Checkout the putty […]

Hey MBG back again with some more coverage of Dicehead Games’ “Siege” event. Here are some great looking armies from the event. My personal favorite is the Slaanesh army with the ipod ready Land Raider, and amazing freehand.  Enjoy!

You heard it right, Brother Chaplin Ginn, and I have been cleaning out our closets. We have been listing items non stop for the last two days, and will continue to do so for about the next week or so. There is a ton of stuff we’re dumping, from 40k to Forge World, and even […]

Last weekend I participated in Dicehead Game’s “Siege” Convention.  It was a very well run multi-genre event on Saturday and Sunday in Chattanooga, TN.  They had D&D games, Board Games, RPG’s, Flames of War, Warhammer 40k and Fantasy among others. It was located on a very clean park/ fairground with plenty for a family to […]
