…literally. What I am looking for is a bare hand, holding a cruciform sword, in 28mm scale, that would fit on the end of the arm of the chap in this photo: link I am painting these fellows up as VSF Papal troops, called the Seraphim Battalion because their jetpacks let them fly "as if angels of our Lord." I need an officer. Officers carry swords (it's in Da Rules, somewhere), and Papal officers carry cruciform swords, like the crusaders of old. Any help would be much appreciated. |

Not sure what the size is on those fellers, but I would think the separate weapon hands that Old Glory has in their medieval ranges would work. PM me your address, and I'll send you a couple or three. Allen |

The ones I'm thinking of can be seen here: link Allen |

link link I'm sure I have some of the State Troops bits on hand. I'll be glad to drop a couple in the mail. The first one looks really nice though. |

Skrap: They are nice, but I need one with a bare hand. Those all look as if they are (leather) gauntleted. Allen: Can't tell just looking, but are they bare-handed? |

They're indeterminate. On some figures, they fit into a gauntleted wrist. But the hand itself can be painted bare. Of course, you could do the same by cutting the GW plastic bits at the wrist joint--and they have much more dramatic swords. Are the Jeff Valent figures "heroic" 28s? If so, I'd probably go with the GW bits, otherwise the OG hand may look a little small, and again, the swords aren't nearly as nice. Allen |

The Rail Wars stuff is indeed VERY heroic. They tower over regular 28mm figures. |

Yes, quite heroic scale. I suppose the GW hands it will be, then. Just wondering if the hand has wrinkles upon it like a gloved hand would, you understand. Well, I suppose one could always give it a go. |

Did you get something you can use? If not I'll see what I can come up with. |
| J Womack 94 | 16 Apr 2009 8:46 a.m. PST |
Yeah I did, I think (haven't gotten around to cutting stuff off just yet). Thanks anyway, Flintloque! |
