I'm looking for some GW/40K scale closed fists, or some pointing hands for some conversions I'm working on. I thought there was a third-party resin company that made hand bits but I'm coming up with nothing. Nothing armored. Just plain old human hands.

Any ideas?

The bits boxes at flea markets. If there's one thing easier to find than sprues of surplus GW body parts, it's beat up incomplete GW figures.

I know nothing about this company, but they have several sets of hands

Thanks for that link PaulCollins, I wasn't aware of that company.

Regarding surplus parts, I don't think there are that many GW components that don't have a weapon integrated into the hand. Pretty much every GW fig has the 'gun in one hand, knife/sword/axe in the other' thing going on. Heck even the new Necromunda Cawdor set has guys with polearm weapons- held one handed, with a damn knife in the other hand!

If there are some plain old human hands with no weapons in a GW set I'd love to know which ones!

Would 1/35th hands work? IIRC, that was used as the 'scale' for heads & hands on 40K figures way back when…

Maybe, I'll look into that. Thanks!
