Necron Flayed One clawed hand tutorial Materials and tools: Necron Warrior .080 x .125” styrene strip 3/64” styrene rod .030 styrene sheet cut into 1/16” wide strips (I have found evergreen scale models makes a pre made strip that will work if you do not want to cut the strips yourself. it is product number 134, .030 x .080" strip.) Glue Metal ruler X-acto knife Metal files Pin vice with 1/64 and 1/16” drill bits Clippers 1/16” hole punch Posted Image I start out with the styrene strip; it is to square looking for the hand so I file the corners to round them off. Posted Image I then drill a small pilot hole in the middle with the 1/64” drill bit. I then use the 1/16” bit to enlarge the hole. This is where the hand will attach to the Flayed Ones wrist. It is a lot easier to drill the hole before you clip the hand off the styrene strip. Posted ImagePosted Image I then clip the hand section off. It should be about a 1/8” long. Posted Image I glue a small piece of styrene rod to the end of the hand (the side without the hole drilled in it). This will create the knuckles for the blades to attach. I use a piece of rod a little bigger than needed. I then clip off the excess and file it flush with the side of the hand. Posted ImagePosted Image For the thumb I file the end of the styrene rod to a dome, then cut it about 1/16” long. I make the cut at a slight angle so it just is not sticking out the side of the hand. I then glue the thumb to the hand, and the hand to the Flayed Ones wrist. Posted ImagePosted ImagePosted Image For the blades I start with some .30 styrene sheet that I cut into a 1/16” wide strip. I use the clippers to roughly cut the shape of the curved blade. I then use the file to round off the top, and file the bottom edge at an angle on both sides to create a razors edge. This step is easier if you shape the blade first before cutting it from the strip to length. Posted ImagePosted Image I then use a pencil to mark the length of the blade. I make the first one (pointer) about ¾” long with the next blade about a 1/8” shorter than the one before it. I then use the hole punch to make a cut for the blade to attach to the knuckle on the hand. I then cut the blade from the rest of the strip with an X-acto knife. Posted ImagePosted ImagePosted Image Here you can see the finished blade attached to the hand. Posted Image The finished squad. Posted Image Original post by: jerseydevil |

Nice! I've got to try that. Always loved the way FO looked. |

I will definitely be trying this as 9 Flayed Ones are part of my 750pt starter Decurion. They look better than the resin flayed ones IMO. Although I might add more tattered green stuff, and I have plenty of skulls/heads on chains, zombie parts from my undead to add to them. |

Looking forward some results. I myself copied the old metal wraith claws with easymold and made some with greenstuff. |

This is actually a really nice guide/idea. Aside from them rising from the sands, which I dunno how much I dig that aspect, it's really great. That Freddy-Kruger claw style is fantastic, and totally a nice plan for any warriors that aren't in the works to be used immediately. I might actually try this out for a handful of them, see if I like the final result or not. I certainly am not thrilled about the potential to buy Fine Cast FOs, so, this is definitely appealing. |

Those look amazing, and I love the 'emerging from the sand' concept too! |

These are nice hands in deed. Sorry for thread omdanning. I'm currently converting 20 flayed ones and found the deathmark kit to be an invaluable source of hands, real hands. 10 pairs if you build the deathmarks and not the immortals. When I run out I'll definitely turn to this technique |
