Talk Fantasy Football

Anyone know of a manufacturer that sells separate 28mm hands? I don't like how the new minis all seem to be wearing a knuckleduster on each hand (what happens when the ball lands at their feet?)

Cheers!

I've found that hands from the plastic zombie sprues are good. They're both on the models and extended items (such as battle standards etc.). I haven't checked how well they stand up against the new larger models though.

Tabletop-arts does, but only for throwers and catchers.

Thanks Rolo, if only they did normal hands too.

Good idea Mawph, I ordered a load of zombie hands and electro-priest hands from a bits service.

I would love it if there were more generic Blood Bowl hands. Those are always one of the hardest things to get as most fantasy and sci-fi models have a weapon in one or both hands. Chopping them off always looks weird and awkward.

Trouble is you'd need so many different sizes and styles due to the wide variety of races and even within the races you have some pretty big differences depending on the manufacturer you choose.

No problems - the bonus on the zombie hands is that there's a whole load of open, empty hands on the sprues. My Goblin team has a bunch of these attached to them, as the goblin arms are pretty good for posing, if you've also got open hands

I've managed to get a goblin in a "handing off" pose (requires you not to be looking too closely to the anatomy of the arm ) as well as a couple of goblins who look as though they're running and stretching for a thrown ball. Pictures might follow at some point

These any use?

Awesome suggestions! I've clipped or filed most of the spikes so far, so that hasn't been much of a problem. However, my preference is that only the thrower has a ball in hand. Which means I would love to replace the hand on the Human catcher. I'll likely give some of these a try. Especially the catcher gloves, as that's still one of the things I loved about the old Human Catchers.

Chopping off the hands would look odd indeed, or so I imagine

Unfortunately I can't be of much help on the topic at hand. Just add that I know the grief of finding a perfectly suitable miniature... holding a halperd close to the body, fused to one of the legs and taking both hands in the process. Have not found a cure yet
