Recommended bits for Malekith left arm?

Post by djinniman »

Hello all. I just picked up the Black Dragon kit, and am making the rider look as much like Malekith as possible. I am fairly pleased with the looks of everything in the kit... except the left arm options. I don't want Malekith using a shield, and another weapon seems odd as well. I was hoping to find an outstretched arm, possibly with fingers spread out, to represent him casting a spell. Something with spell effects would be even better. Does anyone have any recommendations as to a bit that meets these needs anywhere? FB, 40K, Mantic, whatever. Thanks for the help!

Hello - welcome to the forum.

Try looking at the ghouls hands they are fairly good. (I like the clawed look personally)

Other options include:

- Dark Elf Plastic Sorceress -- casting hand
- Sisters of the Thorn -- casting hand

You would need to do some plastic cutting for these, and I dont know if they would be too feminine looking for your purposes.

Also:

- New Eldar Solitaire -- power glove hand
OldHammer Advanced Ruleset
- Adding Tactical Depth to Your Favourite Tabletop Wargame

I was going to suggest the Mandrakes also, and while on the subject of Dark Eldar the previous version of the Archon also has a spell effect hand.
