Modeling help

[NExOBLIVISCARIS]

for my blood Angels i want to make a sythe weapon for all the special units because i am currently working on a different succsessor chapter at the moment and it has sythes as its weapon of choice (because i like them...alot) but i don't know how to make one, a good one so i have been looking around the models that GW has and the nids have some pretty good bladed limbs but i don't have anything to compare them to size wise. so which nid model would have good sized limbs that could be fashioned into a sythe? and any other ways to make a sythe are greatly apriciated.

Tyranid warrior tallons are probably the right size for most marines but probably work better for terminators.

 

In WHFB the undead have a couple of sythes in their range. The Corpse cart has a nice one and the zombie set has a couple. Also the Empire wizards kit comes with a sythe and the Flagellent frame has several sythes.

 

Other than that i would suggest plasticard.

Well I would say nid talons. You can green stuff in all the little groves in the talons and you would have a nice looking sythe.

OR

You could use thin platicard

 

For the handle part you could use a lolliepop stick a metal rod ect.

For a one handed 'kama' type scythe you want hormagaunt scything talons.

 

For a larger scythe you want either a Tyranid Warrior's talon or the scythes from the Warhammer zombie sprue:

(this is my Scythes of the Emperor company champion, who is literally supposed to be using weapon and shield made from trophies from a Tyranid warrior - a la Aliens Versus Predator - I eventually changed the scythe to get rid of the claw at the top as it looks silly, but it gives an idea of scale)

loki thank you for the size comparison.(btw that is a fantastic looking model,very good work) im not planning on making termie weapons yet because i dont have any in my army. (for now...) but were did you get the staff of it?

It looks like a power weapon haft (axe?) from a SM set somewhere (possibly SW - I've not got any of them so can't say for sure).

[SGK]

its the haft of a power axe from the old 2nd ed.close combat weapon sprues. Kudos to Brother Loki for a fine conversion

Also try the Vampire Counts Cairn Wraiths. Lovely models, I use one as a familiar for my Libby.
