Spikey Bits Monthly Give-Away Contest #1 Voting

Posted by Man Boy Genius Wednesday, October 20, 2010 View Comments

Okay so we're back with the voting for the Monthly Give-Away. I know this is the first post since last week, and I apologize for the lack of hobby content as of late. We have been super busy getting the new Spikey Bits store set up, and getting all the infrastructure  together as well.

Spikey Bits Monthly Give-Away: Contest #1

Posted by Man Boy Genius Monday, October 11, 2010 View Comments

Thanks for the great comments and suggestions about how to make this give-away run better. 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.  To enter you must be a follower of the blog, and make a comment to this post answering the question below.

Which of the four Gods of Chaos is best and why?  Now I'm not looking for a book here, just a couple sentences (humor counts) on your position and the reason for it. Please keep it clean as well, remember Spikey Bits is for the children.

I'll select of a few of my favorites and put it up for a vote next Wednesday.   

Again, thanks for reading- MBG

Conversion Corner: Wolf Priest in Terminator Armor

Posted by Man Boy Genius Sunday, October 10, 2010 View Comments

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 the removal of the wolf helm.

Spikey Bits Monthly Give-Away- Winners?

Posted by Man Boy Genius Friday, October 8, 2010 View Comments

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). 

So now I really don't have any more ideas of how to make this thing work.  I tried to make the potential winner pool smaller, and that didn't work.  I can't and won't charge money for entry (possible illegal lol).  I'm not even getting anything out of it really, except some buzz and maybe a few new followers.   So what is a MBG to do?  How can I make it fair to do a monthly give-away? 

What do you think? Choose a winner from followers who posted a comment that week, month etc? Do a modeling/ painting contest?  I really don't know. How about we make a contest out of making a contest that works, lol? Please tell me what you think, I am all ears!

Thanks for reading- MBG

Terrain Workshop: Fortress Maximus, Imperial Outpost

Posted by Man Boy Genius Friday, October 1, 2010 View Comments

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.

Spikey Bits Blog

Spikey Bits is a blog about the hobby of Warhammer 40k and Fantasy Battles, both tabletop wargames. I try to cover all of the aspects of that hobby from converting and painting models to actually playing the game.

By nature I am a competitive tournament player, but my true passion is converting and painting. I will spend more time making a figure than actually playing with it, lol.

The aim of this blog it to keep me motivated to produce new work, and to share my experiences along the way. I very much value all feedback about my work, and will answer any questions about it.

Feel free to send me an email or post a comment about anything on here.

However please no cursing, first offenses will be edited, second offense results in a ban. You can disagree with me of course, just don't curse!

Thanks for reading, and happy gaming. -MBG
