Can anyone think of a model produced by GW, 40K or Fantasy thats left handed?

You have enough arms to model some of the assault marines as lefties.

Marines are trained to be Ambidextrous, IIRC.

There are plenty of left handed power arms that have bolt pistols, close combat weapons, or power weapons.

No bolters, though.

For orks, there are shootas, sluggas, and choppas for both hands in thr Ork Boyz box set.

Orks come with left handed Shootas. As a lefty myself, I try to put some lefties into my Orks

Somewhere there is a left-handed Storm Bolter. I remember being overly excited the first time I saw it because I had wanted one for a conversion for years, but didn't want to have to hack a metal arm apart for it.

Space wolves come with lefty storm bolters, as well as lefty bolters (however they are both weilded single handed)

There ya guys go. Left handed bolters held in 2 hands.

Some many left handed Legion of the Damned marines...

Something sinister going on there?

You, sir, win many theoretical internets.

most of the 40k art work is shown with the "heroes" shooting from the left side of the page to the right side, naturally these guys are shown as right handed so you can see the front of their bodies.

In the rare case where they are shooting in the opposite direction everyone is shown lefthanded.

No wonder they are considered heretical!

I sit corrected.

There is no conspiracy to purge the left handed as heretic from the future that is GW.

Though.... The Madonna bra sister aught to be banned just on principle.

I dunno, they are weapons in their own right. BAM! Right in the charging gaunt's eye.

You goofy lefties...

haha I tried to model my clanrats left handed... they don't fit together now.

Appreciate the subtlety of the sculptor dexterous enough to pull it off.

OH SNAP!

TK archers are left handed

lots of marines are set up to use power weapons on left- and right-handed arms... and Brother-Captain Stern holds his sword in his right hand as he levels his storm bolter on his left arm.

Could be a left handed sculptor.... almost certain really

Michael Perry lost his right hand in an accident (loading a re-enactment cannon) and now sculpts with his left hand.

I've got a 2nd edition space marine captain who has the power fist on his left hand, but then again dexterity is a bit of an afterthought when you have a hand the size of your own torso that delivers a punch similar to being hit by a train...

I've modeled left handed models.

my sergeants are all left handed.

It's just easier for modellers and gamers if they are right handed.

If your models are armed with a pistol and cc weapon then they could be eother handed, both require some hand eye co-ordination.

As a lefty I aprove of the Legion of the Damned models more now.

I C wat U did thar...

Yeah I'm left-handed so this topic is of great interest to me. I've always just hacked up chainsword hands and stuck pistols/other guns in them, myself.

I'm glad YOU did, because other than you and Platuan4th, I was getting a little worried!

I got it...
But then again I do study Latin so, you know

Really, I always thought it was a casting/molding accident? Damn redshirts! Oh well, at least mr perry has a sweet claw now.

I LOL'd (like actually, laughed out loud) when I read you original comment Alpharius. It was pretty damn sly. TBH, the only reason I got the joke was a tidbit from the simpsons.

I believe the last 5 presidents were left-handed. Food for thought!

Edit: Okay, just 4 out of the last 5 (minus the most recent Bush... and what does that tell ya ). Okay, sorry for the cheap shot but it's quite an odd phenomenon!
