An actual hand/fist with fingers. Just a plain hand/fist without anything attached to it. I can't seem to find one.


If there isn't one, what fists out there are close enough to dreadnaught size? Thanks in advance!

Not sure if there are any. The closed fist from the Dreadknight could work, especially if used on both hands.

Forge world I believe has left and right hands that are open for the contemptor pattern dread.

Hmm, yeah those DK fists could definitely work.

I'm staring at my left handed fist and came up with an idea. It's three fingers on one bit and the rest of the palm and thumb on the other bit. If I make a copy of the three fingers part somehow, then I would just need to do a mirror image of the other bit (somehow) and I would have a proper right handed fist.

I've only done GS press molds before so I don't know how annoying/costly it is to do a 3-D copy of a bit. Especially since I just want to copy one bit once (or two bits once). And I am not even sure mirroring a bit is possible. Though maybe I cut off the thumb and attach it to the other part of the palm to make it right handed lol.

Isn't there one for the Furioso Dreadnought?

If there is I can't find it. Right handed arm, sure. Right handed robot claw thingy, sure. Right handed hand for a dreadnought though? Nope. Except for a (very expensive) Forge world version that is attached to an arm.


I may just have to go with DK fists which are a little smaller but may work...

You could use the normal fingers of the Furioso with the base of the claws. That way you would get an open fist.

Playing mostly Necromunda and Battletech, Malifaux is awesome too!

Perhaps not, but since GW seems to subsist off sadness and pain, I can't rule it out.

I didn't think the Furioso came with fingers. But you make a good point, I could use the finger side of the dreadnought hand that exists and leave out the thumb or sculpt one or something (either way it would look ok on the right arm then).

I am talking about these pair of bits which is a left handed hand:

Yes thank you.

I couldn't find a right handed fist. A fellow in here told me FW has arms with right handed fists. But that is a wee bit too expensive unfortunately.

Since that left handed fist in the picture comes in two parts, the fingers and the thumb, I could use the fingers for the right handed hand as well and it would look fine (can't use the thumb because it'll be in the wrong place on the right). So maybe the answer is sculpting the thumb and palm part for the right while using the bit with the fingers:



OR, I go with DK fists. Which are smaller, but if I am having both fists and some crazy blades on top of the fists that may not matter.

UPDATE:

I am going to make a copy of the fingers from the left hand to use as fingers for the right hand. I am also going to copy the thumb and palm though I will have to move the thumb to make it right handed.

Doing some DIY molding putty with silicone and corn starch for the molds so I'll let you know how it goes!
