I am not sure if you have ever seen the tau crisis suits ut they don't have hands. Okay, they do but they are weird little nubby things. I was wondering if anyone knew were I could find bits that can be used as hands. It seems like the gray knight hands would work perfect but I can't find the right hand only the left one. If you could find both left and right hands for the tau suits please let me know.

HLJ or Hobby Search.

The various Gundam and Mecha model kits have a whole crap load of after market parts available for them. Since that is what GW used as the basis of the crisis suits...that would be where I would start looking.

You will need to research a bit to figure out the size of the specific kits...but pictures are readily available with a little bit of searching. If nothing else - you can calculate size based on the scale of the model in question. I don't know if either of those two which I linked to are the correct size - but they are examples of what is available.

$23 for 3 pairs of hands!? And I though GW was bad.

SM (or Terminator) hands fit perfectly fine, as these conversions show.

If using them the pernickety part in me says to cut off the last digit to make them have the same as the Tau themselves.

Those were the first that popped on their respective sites for the basic search I put in. IIRC the ones which I use go for around $5 for a set of 4 in different poses...though I haven't ordered them recently and I generally order from a Japanese language site.

But but but 3 Fingers......

you could also scratch build with plasticard which is what i did to emulate commander farsights grippy hand.

If you look at the way the Custom hand kits are put together - you choose which fingers you want to add. You can just as easily do 3 fingers as you can 4.
