It's either painted wrong or its a highlight or something else which wouldn't be a problem if its seen at a different angle. There's no way a finger could e sculpted and then painted that long.

It does look like two parts painted poorly, you can see a bit of a break in the finger. Or maybe he has really heroic hands? Bioengineered pianist?

You guys think that's bad, you should have seen the old metal blister figure for the CSM whose hand was far large than his head, minus the antlers.

Yeah, but chaos.....at least it was chaos...some want a tail, or extra arm. He just got a big hand. But that finger?

All that's the finger alright. It's just a really, really bad angle. GW photography at its best.
The hand is of course bigger than it should be because GW uses heroic proportions, but the finger just appears longer than it really is because of a couple of optical illusions. The elbow is pulled back, giving you a relatively short arm compared to the hand and the finger. The back of the hand is obscured by the rifle where it extends towards the thumb, making it appear as though the finger extends all the way to what is the middle of the hand. The lower corner of the rifle is located above the middle of the hand, right above where the recessions that form the knuckles start, making it appear that those recesses actually form the gaps between the fingers. The fingers themselves are obscured by angle and darkness so that this effect is reinforced. Combined with the angle of the arm, only half of the back of the hand looks like it's the entirety of it.
If you account for these, that's just a normal heroic plastic hand you can find on a number of other GW humans. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a complete CAD asset and thus tried, tested and normalized.. I would be surprised if a deformed finger was sculpted from scratch, missed by the sculptor, and by others during revisions and during examination of the test cast.

It looks to me like the finger from knuckle to tip is the same length as the hand from wrist to knuckle - just like my hands.

I swear this whole game is going to tank because of that guy's finger. They're going to have to recall and destroy boxes just like Dreadfleet.
Obviously GW did not sculpt a dude with a 36" trigger finger. Obviously it's some kind of painting error.
And even if they did, just paint the extra long bit gun colored.
Geeze people.

Very good point, and that doesn't account for people like me whose finger is actually longer than wrist to knuckle. I really think it's just a bad angled shot everyone is making a big deal about. In person (or even another picture), I'm sure it will look fine.

That guy’s finger is the reason he’s on the crew in the first place. It gets lonely and boring in the cold depths of the void...

Good news everyone! I am no longer branded a heretech by the Adeprus Mechanicus. In other news you will be making a delivery to the Necron Tomb World of R’lyeh XIII.
