Hello all. I'm having quite the conundrum with my Bloodthirster. It is a GW Balrog model, and I can't seem to find a hand to fit its left arm. I wish I could sculpt one, but my skills are still far to undeveloped for that. Any Suggestions?

Does it not come with an open left hand?

Er...yeah. I messed up on that end. So i need a replacement.

Without knowing the scale it's hard to say, but If you can find someone with a Demon Prince model, they come with several hands/arms that they might not be using. That's the best shot I got, unfortunately.

I have a soul grinder sword hand that might work

'ppreciate it anyways. Its for the Left arm anyways.

I had a look at my 'rog thirster, have you considered attachin the whip that comes in the kit as the second hand? As in, actually replacing the hand with the whip?

I duno. I'm just trying to salvage your problem.

Yeah.. Moulding weapons onto the arm with gs is always easier than moulding an actual hand.

A bloodthirster has a lash of Khorne so just give him the whip lol

Cut the Arm off and replace it with a Defiler Claw Waaargh!

But yer it's easier not to replace the hand, and can work out cooler... I like the whip idea.

The only way to learn to do things like this is to jump in and give them a go. GS and simple sculpting tools are pretty cheap, so you can afford to mess up a few times.Just remember to build up a hand in a few different layers. Don't try to get the final product in one go.

I recommend paint or colour shapers (rubber tipped tools that don't stick to GS).

This was my first hand sculpt in 6 stages (palm first, then ading in finger details 1 at a time)
