Just looking for some ideas, and such so I can get them out of my bitz box.

Knowing what you have would help

Glue them all to a tank and say it's an ork vehicle?

Base decoration/ terrain/ battlefield litter.

The tyranid stuff used in groups make nice objectives and details for terrain.

Generally either base decoration or scenery.

Sometime I'll kitbash something just for gaks and giggles.

well, I usually use them into turn my spare DV terminators into obliterators.

Magnetize arm options.

Little of everything, mostly Dark Eldar and Necrons though.

Save them up, keep a few, and then sell as a lot on ebay.

you could make little weapon racks for terrain pieces

I save all my spare weapons for use in other kits that may not come with those weapons. It's nice to be able to model all the options even when a kit doesn't come with all of them.

For some reason the IG Guardsmen squad only comes woth Flamer and GL so I use the Command Squad weapons to arm my vets with plasma and melta guns. Also using the sniper rifle/poncho bitz to make a special weapons squad.

I mean, if you have no use for them and they're just taking up space, you could send them to me :p

Or post something in the swap shop or on eBay for a bitz lot.

They sit in the box till i need it
or i could trade or sell them or just give them to friend if they need a part they are missing.

What I won't ever use I trade or sell. I'm a bit of a bits hoarder though, so I'll probably always hold on the stuff for years before I get around to using them.

Im a hoarder, so.. I say hold on to all of them, you never know when you will want them. But i also kitbash a lot so im not "normal" OR you could trade them to people for other things, like Orks do teeth...

Save them, you never know when certain weapons will suddenly get a boost in a new codex and you'll wish you had them.

I've got them organized in about a dozen craft organizers. I'll never use them all, but I do enough converting that a well stocked bitz box comes in handy ALOT.

You can see my method here, though it's twice as big now.

Also...
-Sometimes I'll trade bits.
-Once in a while I'll participate in one of those "send bits to someone in need" threads
-at Lead Adventure there's a bits box that makes the rounds folks take what they need and send along some as well.
-Replacing missing bits or repairing used figs.

There are some batches of bits that everyone seems to have too much of (basic Marine bits) but even they can be useful when you pick up some armless metal marines and need to equip them.
