reckoning Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Well hands really and of the "right" variety. Im pretty sure GW believes that in the grim dark future, no one points with their right hand. Im planning a few conversions and Ive run into a snag for one of my characters. Does anyone know where to find a pointing right hand, preferably PA or close enough? Additionally, what do people use for sound suppressors on their bolters? Im very opposed to chopping up the sniper rifles as well as buying enough for what I have in mind.

Veteran Sergeant Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 I'm not sure if there are any plastic ones. Only one I can think of was the old metal one. Plastic stock tubing would work. Plus it would also be hollow so you wouldn't need to drill it out.

knife&fork Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Easiest way of doing it is cutting up plastic q-tips, get a stiff brand, easier to get an even cut. Q-tips are a little too small to attach at the end of an existing barrel, works better to replace the stock barrel with a silencer.

Veteran Sergeant Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 To make a pointy hand on the right, you could cut the pointing finger off a left hand, then attach it to a right fist (off something like a chainsword so it is closed). When I made a Marine flipping the bird in my younger days of the long long ago, that's how I did it.

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Look for Grey Knight hand bits or Blood Angel Sanguinary Guard hand bits - both have pointy finger hands.

reckoning Posted November 16, 2014 Author Share Posted November 16, 2014 No joy. Everything I saw was left hand across all PA ranges. Maybe I need to search the other armies for something useable.

markham82 Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 I live in the bush a 1200km from the closest hobby shop or other hobbyists so I make do with what I have. Also our post is a little unreliable so no online buying and having it posted to me. That said I do feel regret when I brutalize bits.

reckoning Posted November 16, 2014 Author Share Posted November 16, 2014 I found a pointing right hand but its in the cadian command squad box. Maybe Ill try adding a thin layer of GS to bulk it out. Sgt. Chronus! Though it looks like Ill have to saw the arm or hand off. At least I have options.

Ovidius Incertus Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Plastic tubing of a slightly smaller diameter set inside the main suppressor tube at the muzzle end to give the look of it being attached to the muzzle, and at the business end, rather than leaving a gaping hole, either put a really small "dome" of green stuff and poke a hole in it or glue a bit of plasticard, trim/round off around the edges and poke your hole in that. Either way, gives the appearance of the suppressor actually trapping gas.

Toomanyprojects Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 If you want a marine pointy hand, Sgt. Cronus is the only one I am aware of that is using his right hand Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/299332-suppressors-and-pointy-fingers/#findComment-3863936 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dantay VI Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Sorry my models don't generally do pointy fingers, mine have clenched fists for punching the lights out on any xeno, traitor or witch who happens to wander nearby. If you have some small size single strand cable, you could use that. Re move barrel and drill a small hole to locate the cable.Cut back the outer pvc sheath as far as you want to go. If you want it ot look drilled ou/ hollow, slide the sheath along by a few mm. Insert into gun where old barrel used to be, and done!! Leave the exposed copper a little longer than you intend to use though as it might get slight nicks in it as you move the sheath, do cuts etc....
