Hey All, So I really want to scratch build my Warp Talons in the near future and intended on buying games workshop's lightning claw sprues to do it. However, it appears that their 10 lightning claws for 20 bucks ( ) are built for terminators. Would anyone be able to part with lightning claws for marines, wolves, anything? I'm willing to buy if I need to. Or if you know a fancy way to make the terminator arms fit, that would be good too. Thanks

I dunno dude, those Warp Talon models are pretty sexy... well worth it imo ;P
The Terminator arms could work -- if you glue normal Marine should pads on (or no shoulder pads and just a bunch of spikey bits) then they should match up well enough on normal power armored bodies. There isn't really an availability of power armored claws -- I think the Wolves boxset comes with two plastic ones. Blood Angels maybe have some? But truthfully, most of the power armored versions I can think of are on individual finecast models.
At the end of the day, I'm pretty sure Warp Talons are your most cost effective bet. $66 for two boxes... as opposed to $58 for the set of lightning claws, and a box of CSM. That doesn't include badass chaotic jump packs either.
EDIT: The Chaos Spawn box is $41? Seriously? Wasn't it $20, $25 when it first came out? Money grubbing GW...

Actually only 40 bucks on lightning claws total. Still insane. and 40 on CSMs. the issue is I'm not too fond of the Warp Talon's jump packs. Prehaps that's the way to go. Buy up the warp talons and convert the packs. Then buy a box of CSMs later and make raptors if I want em... Thanks Brian!

I took a few daggers and created a lightening claw from a power fist for one of my aspiring champions, if that gives you any ideas. I can give you some daggers if I have some left, if you'd like.

there arent any cheap power armor lightning claw options.
Captain box comes with only left hand.
Vanguard vet is finecast? And only one model. He does have 2 hands though.
Each box of space wolves comes with either 1 or 2 sets of claws... ill check into my box see if I have any left. But they have wolf stuff on them.
Other then that you have the old raptor champion. And maybe thats it in terms of power armored lightning claws.
So I second that unless you want to build them all... warp talons are probably the way to go.
As an aside I believe those lightning claws on gw are metal(unless they finecasted them) and even though they say terminators they are the old old terminators and so arent that much bigger then present day power armor.
