Lord Drungar Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 as the title suggests, I am looking for some large space marine swords (or any swords that suit, really) to replace the thunder hammers on my Black Templar assault terminators (with FW shields :)). my current thinking us use all the swords from company champions in the command box, but even they just don't really seem bulky enough to replace a thunder hammer. wysiwyg isn't particularly important to me, hence the swords, but I would like them to look like they could pack a punch if swung hard, rather than being the single handed swords that most space marines have.... thanks if you take an interest :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/219499-large-space-marine-power-swords/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bannus Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I would look at the Warhammer range - I believe there are some zweihanders in there that might be big enough.

Br0ther Rafen Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 The Emperors' champion has a fairly large sword, and the company champion also has a nice large sword. However, since you want five/ten, then the fantasy range would be a nice solution. I think the the Empire greatswords would be you best bet, their swords are quite large. Also, if you have the time and the skill, then you could extend the blades with greenstuff and maybe a bit of plastic or something (haven't tried this myself, but if you search it you'll find the thing that i'm talking about). My 2 cents Rafen Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/219499-large-space-marine-power-swords/#findComment-2618103 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zujara Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Sanguinary Guard have some swords a bit bigger than the company champion, though you would need to remove the blood angels decorations on them. Bloodcrushers have some pretty big blades too, but you'd have to do quite a bit of converting to make them not look like Khorne weapons Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/219499-large-space-marine-power-swords/#findComment-2618215 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durus Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Here are some other ides: Swords from Reaper They have quite a lot of weapons (particularly swords), but sadly most entries of their page are either lacking pictures or measurements. One of the weapon pack's pics show the size of the sprue in the first link I posted. The only other company to get a Templar style sword big enough to be used by a termi from (that I could find) was Kromlech. Product description says the longest one is 5cm which would be big enough to even be used in Inquisitor. I also remember seeing rather large swords made from cocktail skewers on miniatures before. You could also look into toys (playmobil etc.), maybe you are lucky enough to find something that suits your needs.

Andurin Marvak Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Try the Megabloks Dragons series, I've used a bunch of their stuff for my marines.

RebG Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 The only other company to get a Templar style sword big enough to be used by a termi from (that I could find) was Kromlech. Product description says the longest one is 5cm which would be big enough to even be used in Inquisitor. These are what I would have suggested myself so I second this. Maxmini make some nice resin pieces that fit really well with most 40K ranges. They also do Vibro Glaives which, while not hammery, would look pretty sweet being wielded by terminators!
