librisrouge Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 With the new codex out I find that I’m wanting more gallants in my armies. Honestly, I want to give 3 a chance. This means I need 1-2 more thunderstrike gauntlets, which seem hard to come by on eBay. Anybody have a good idea where to get a couple of these? I’m also fine with alternatives or shapeways, etc. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/348116-quest-for-thunderstrike-gauntlets/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneakybamsen Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 There are bits shops that have them, but those prices are crazy imho. 16-17$ for a gauntlet is way too much. I struck a bargain with a guy from the club, he gave me his spare gauntlet, because I gave him a ride home after a tourney almost two years ago Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/348116-quest-for-thunderstrike-gauntlets/#findComment-5104421 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m also fine with alternatives or shapeways, etc. I'm only familiar with Shapeways and eBay for possible sources, unless you were up for modifying your own bits. You could also take bits from Gundum/Tau/Toys, etc, depending on how much customization you want. Or, if you want to get really unique, you could use claws from Tyranids or other monsters, stating it is a relic taken from a monster hunt on their home planet or other world and turned into a fist.

sneakybamsen Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 How about scavenging some bits from something like a defiler? Their fists are at least somewhere near the right size. Yeah, it's chaos, but it can be cleansed of spikes and stuff like that...

This got me thinking. If your going Gundam I suggest just about anything in the 1/100 line as for shapeways, Blue Prints has part for the Stormsurge (Stormwave in his shop) that could work, but your paying a premium for it. However for posablity it's second to none. Hand and forearm parts. I'll double check these tonight and post a comparison tomorrow since I have the parts (of the forearm at least) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/348116-quest-for-thunderstrike-gauntlets/#findComment-5104762 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hilariously, one of my knights has a defiler fist because the Knight Errant has a fist back in the day so I wanted mine to have one too. This was before the gallant kit existed (I’ve played 40k knights from literally day 1) so I got creative. Might have to again. I wonder is any contemptor bits might work?

sneakybamsen Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Dreadnought parts will be too small for a knight to not just look out of place, I think.

Reough Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/248882-knight-reference-thread-links-to-knight-conversions/ This thread has a few conversions for fists - from before GW released the thunderstrike gauntlet. One uses a couple of plastic spoons for the basic shape.
