 |  right AND left powerfists? and lightning claws! okay. i'm not that familiar with termie lightning claws. let me explain: i need a pair of them for a commander i'm going to model on a bike, but i would like his claws to be a bit more regal and so i might use the claws with wreaths on them [if i can get some, that is]. i'd begin by chopping off the terminator shoulderpad and gluing that to a normal power armor shoulder and shoulderpad. the problem is, i don't really know how the termie claws are, or really what they look like. do you think that would work? and also...i want to make a double powerfist [or chainfist] power armor guy, just for kicks [i know, no chainfists on power armor! haha] but where could i get a lefty power fist? thanks all! :] -ant

Blog Entries: 4 | You mean a righty powerfist, right? Every powerfist I've seen goes on the left hand. But there's a pointy powerfist with the Assault marine sprue if that's any help. http://www.battlewagon-bits.com/product/48-0922

| Termie lighting claws... IIRC are pretty big, you might want to consider getting the metal veteran lighting claws instead.

| terminator lightning claws without the termy shoulder pad look fine on a normal power armoured man. i would actually cut off the claws on one fists, like theyre retracted, and use that hand to control the bike, as he does need to pilot it =] some termy claws have wreaths on them marneus calgar has duel powerfists, you could get both of them as they are quite elegant.

| bit order the old 2nd/3rd edition marnius calgar arm if you go that route as the fist is a bit smaller... (keep in mind the new one is termie sized!) it's a bit of a pill trying to cut off the bolter, but as long as you have a decent blade on your modeling saw, you should be okay. (took me about 15-20 minutes to cut out the power fist...) other than that, as mentioned there's the pointy finger power fist off the new assault marine sergeant's sprue... as for the lightning claws - go with the metal veteran set as the termie claws will look a bit too big... (you can always add on one those plastic wreaths that come on the tactical squad upgrade sprue!  )cheers!

| The idea with the Wraith claws ,although not the cheapest idea,is certainly nice.Ii've seen them used and they certainly give your marine a special look. Sho'ka |

| haha that would be cool. ap0k's khorne BEAST space marine is part of what started this thread actually. if you want to see it : http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/i...owtopic=106076 anyways. yea i'll have to look into the flayed one claws or wraith arms, although they might be a bit pricey for me to get...maybe just use assault termie ones that are left over if i get a squad? maybe? haha. thanks everyone for the responses :] -ant
