Does anyone have any tips for repairing broken metal parts?

I have one of the really rare 1/4 scale metal Sideshow WitchKing Crowns from back in the day. And like an idiot, I dropped it. Three of the four long spikes snapped off. (They're really thin). I've tried several different types of glue with no luck. Nothing seems to want to stick to the metal.

Anybody have any tips? Suggestions?
 
Awesome! Thank you for the suggestion! I just ordered a tube of JB Weld Epoxy Putty. Amazon.com: J-B Weld 8267-S SteelStik Steel Reinforced Epoxy Putty Stick - 2 oz: Automotive

Just based on the product description, this sounds very promising. Thank you!

Welding and brazing are waaay beyond my skill set. I tried regular Gorilla Glue and several super glue types. (Ones that claimed to work on metal.) But because the attachment points are so skinny -- slightly wider than a pencil lead -- I don't think there's enough surface for glue to work.

Fingers crossed!
