THere is also an older 3rd ed metal space marine that has a right handed power fist as part of the model, and the left arm is free to be any plastic arm (which I of course had to make a left handed power fist to give him two power fists just to look cool).

The assault squad comes with one of those terrible finger pointing power fists. I don't like it at all but it is the only option I know of.

I'm glad you found yours. A couple of months ago I set out to build a couple of marine sergeants and wanted to give them "dramatic" poses. Of course, they're both 'fisters so I needed a couple of them, and then as the image came together in my head I realized that I -really- wanted a righ-hand power fist. I did a little digging and found that the only one that exists right now is the one from the Assault Marine box/frame. There's also a chaplain model of some sort that had a right-hand 'fist but I never actaully laid my hands on one.

And wow do those "pointy" fists look -stupid-, no matter if left- or right-hand. It's just...not a good "pose" for that particular bit of gear.

I tried -- unsuccessfully -- to convert a couple of older left-hand 'fists to a right-hand version...but we'll just say the magic word, "FAIL!" and leave it at that.

Moving on...

In the end I just reversed the image I had in my head so the left-hand 'fist would work just fine. The other side -- the oustretched right arm holding the bolt pistol -- is probably more "important" to the overall feel/appearance of the model so I suppose all's well that ends well...

...but I have to admit I really wish GW would give us more variety, options and choices when it comes to plastic bits to represent "iconic" items like powerfists.

Need a right handed power fist...

step 1) find a right handed lightning claw

step 2) cut off the claws

It looks like the guy is saying; "Pull my finger!"
