Charlo Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Obviously it's pretty much just a powerfist.... But I'm thinking of creating some Custodes Terminators and am wondering what fist to use for these... Garro on FB used some Sanguinary Guard ones (which I considered, as they have a lot of detail!) but I'm unsure if they'll fit the bill... Suggestions?

Brother Dallo Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Not sure on the scale, but I'd envision Custodes having slim, agile looking powerfists compared to the brutish, huge ones marines use. Maybe look at the Cadian command squad powerfist?

Maybe look at the Cadian command squad powerfist? Dallo Wouldn't those be considered power gauntlets, though? The difference is negligible, fluff-wise, but if we want to be picky on the issue, then it would be something to think about...

apologist Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 The only 'official' one is from the Forge World Templar Brethren set, I think: ( rightmost piece) It basically looks like a smaller power fist, with a circular recess on the back of the hand. You might use that as some inspiration. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/331343-solarite-power-gauntlet/#findComment-4665537 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlo Posted February 25, 2017 Author Share Posted February 25, 2017 Proof of concept.... Close to the art, but I think a different gun will help it a lot. Also missing a sort of canopy over the head. Plus a top knot... http://i1380.photobucket.com/albums/ah177/nevscorner/IMG_20170225_140319_zpsnaol4mf9.jpg http://i1380.photobucket.com/albums/ah177/nevscorner/IMG_20170225_140334_zpsj9n8vfq3.jpg http://i1380.photobucket.com/albums/ah177/nevscorner/IMG_20170225_140412_zpslfek2s0k.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/331343-solarite-power-gauntlet/#findComment-4666217 Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Strike Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 My only issue with using the lightning claws for the solarite gauntlet is how will you represent the Talons? It looks great otherwise, I was planning the same thing but with stormcast legs and Cataphractii bodies.

Charlo Posted February 26, 2017 Author Share Posted February 26, 2017 While true, the Talons are such sub optimal choice I'll probably never take them :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/331343-solarite-power-gauntlet/#findComment-4666691 Share on other sites More sharing options...
noigrim Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 After assembling my cataphracti I realized that the claw could represent both a fist and an actual claw since the spiky fingers can also be those of a powerfist like the dread ones Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/331343-solarite-power-gauntlet/#findComment-4666747 Share on other sites More sharing options...
