Title: Artemis scale Powerfists?
Post by: Nevermore2010 on August 22, 2010, 02:24:21 PM
two questions,

1) besides Tyrus' Powerfist, are there any premade hands that might do the job? (left or right hand doesnt matter)

2) anyone have a good set of instructions on how they made their own or perhaps know of a self made version here on the conclave?

Many thanks :)

I belive it says 54mm scale, but naturally not heroic. An interesting find tho... lots of extras and a good base for a sister of battle that model... $39.99 thats about £25 atm. The fists are the right size, each being about 1cm across, they might look slightly out of place but no more so than anyother powerfist look alike. Oh how i wish i had more money :P

Try the powerfist from the Ironclad Dreadnought.

Do you mean the Venerable Dreadnought? it has a power-fist styled combat weapon, as well as the more traditional dread style.
I'm not 100% sure just how much bulkier these are than Artemis' regular hands though... possibly not very.

is just green stuff with cut down swords placed in it for the fingers, I think if you went for a neater look and replaced the sword with maybe 'gaunt legss or something for a gauntleted hand it might work well.

if your not bothered with having to add an extra finger the new space marine venerable dread comes with a great powerfist with fingers although it is missing one but it might be about the right scale not that i've tried its just an idea.

I'm actually working on a space marine power fist at the moment. I've used plati-card, and green stuff to build up the arm below the elbow, and just need to start working on the fingures. I'll try and get a picture up of what i've done so far once i figure out this new camera.

sweet.

My top tip for modeling Space Marine arms is to go to your local coral or argos and steal some pens. Once covered in a layer of green stuff to add details they are the perfect size, and already have a hole down the middle for pinning. All you have to do is trim to the right lengh
