jumping goat Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I have found that the power fists from the Forge World mk II power weapon set are too short. When I place a standard mk II arm beside the FW power fist arm I find that a marines arm would not fit inside the power fist. I have found 40k power fists to be longer. I have always imagined the hand of the user would sit in the middle of the gauntlet, about a hand span behind the power fists mechanical fingers. Does this bug anyone else here? Has anyone here tried extending the forge world fists? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302823-forge-world-powerfist-length/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaedes Nex Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 The Mk II Tartaros style PF seems to be a glove type rather than an extended motorized fingers type. I personally prefer this style since the plastic PF are getting too large and it makes more sense as a heavy, powered gauntlet than as a robo hand you control like the Centurion suits. FW seems to prefer this style, as can be seen in the Templar Brethren "Solarite Power Gauntlet".

jumping goat Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 That makes scence, I hadn't thought of it in that way. Thanks, that makes me happier with them. Just giving it more thought, it would mean that the users hand would have to be extreamly wide if the power fist is worn like a glove. I'm just thinking too deeply into things, these models are supposed to be over the top.

deathspectersgt7 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 The FW are too small. They are perfect for Eldar Powerfists. The plastics look right.

Think of the hand, in a balled fist, resting in the palm of the gauntlet and having neural connectors to the nervous system for motor control of the fingers.
