MaleOpener Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Good evening. I would like to have my TDA lone wolf armed with a SS & CF, and of course, both are left-handed weapons. I love the SS designs for the space wolves, so decided to convert the CF. I'm thinking of the following two ideas... 1. Slapping chainsaw blades onto a right-handed lightning claw. OR 2. Grabbing Tyberos for his right arm. Thoughts? Ideas? Pics? Thanks in advance.

Growler67 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 It won't be exact, but finding a right handed PA Pwoer Fist and then modding it with a Chainsword would be theeasiest way to accomplish this. You could check with TheWarStore.com for the right handed PF bits or eBay. Cheaper than going through ForgeWorld and hacking an expensive model. Just sayin'. I would cut the fist off just before the elbow joint and then cut off whatever is on the TDA arm at or just in front of the elbow to minimize the scale difference between the PA PF and a TDA PF. Adding on the Chainsword will be a relatively task.

Woulfeheart Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Or, just take a right-handed terminator arm holding a thunder hammer or storm bolter with the weapon cut off. Cut the hand off the back of the storm shield, and make a right-handed storm shield. But, I'm not sure if this is the look you're going for.

Gerwulf Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 I've done the conversion twice, it is easy enough. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures with me at the moment, but I prob could get some tonight. I just cut off the chainsaw bit of the left handed chainfist and greenstuffed it on a lightning claw or powerfist, can't remember which, was over a year ago. I also modified a storm shield to be held in the right arm, also not really much of a problem. And for another left handed chainfistfist terminator I used the closed powerfist again with a chainsaw part of a chainfist (mainly because I didn't like the angle of the arm of one of the chainfists and the open hand on the other chainfist). If you need more help, I can probably look at the conversions and figure out in detail how I did it.

Skarvald the Troll-faced Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 1. Use any Power Fist you want. Doesn't matter. 2. Buy Ragnar Blackmane. 3. Use his chainsword and mount it on the Power Fist. 4. ???? 5. Profit.

CainTheHunter Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 It is much more easier to make the Storm shield right handed, than to create a right-handed chainfist - because with SS You only need to cut out the part where shield connects to hand, then use any storm bolter hand with trimmed down storm bolter parts and green-stuff the rest. With CF You basically have to build a new chainfist. I've done this, so I know what I am talking about.

Macharim Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 1. Remove (carefully) the blade from a chain fist. Easiest was to cut away the hand with some pliers and file down last part. 2. Cut away the claws from a wolf claw hand and smooth out any rough edges. Power fist hands work as well but I prefer the look of the wolf claw hands. 3. Glue chain blade to hand and apply green stuff as needed. Did this cause I feel right handed storm shields look lopsided.

MaleOpener Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share Posted February 15, 2011 Thank you all for the suggestions, pics, and links! I have some ideas forming already, and I might not stop with the one converted model ;) Again, thank you.

mitchell93 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Apparently the normal terminators have right handed chainfists, it i wouldnt take my word on it (or my friend who told me).

xxvaderxx Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 This is off topic, but i never saw much of an argument for the CF, there are not a hand full of tanks that have rear armor above 10, and you can easily take that with a regular power fist.

Kind of like opening tanks with a can opener...

Wulfenstein Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I like to think opening the tank up with a can opener is pretty funny and worth having an ale over, especially if it's a points sink for them...

MaleOpener Posted February 16, 2011 Author Share Posted February 16, 2011 I was planning on the event that the model couldn't reach the rear armor, needing to hit the sides or front of the vehicle instead.

Gen. Confusion Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I was planning on the event that the model couldn't reach the rear armor, needing to hit the sides or front of the vehicle instead. ??? All melee attacks against non walkers are resolved against rear armor. Now vs a land raider it is 14 armor all round so you will need the chain fist.

Dahli Llama Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Both of my TDA Lone Wolves are equipped this way. I actually used the rectangular shields from the Wolf Pack box and just cut the handle off to make it fit on the right hand of the Lone Wolf. Then one of the Lone Wolves is using the chainfist from the Chaos Lord box, which is much more menacing than the standard chainfist.
