Indigo Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Hi Building my first serious army in at least 5 or 6 years and it's going swimmingly! Once I have some completed units to show I'll post them. Decided to go space wolves but using a heresy-ish scheme rather than the usual sky blue armour. Anyway, modelling up the wolf lord on thunderwolf I wanted to change his frost axe to something sort of resembling the sword wielded by Leman Russ on the cover of prospero burns - http://www.blacklibrary.com/Images/Product/DefaultBL/large/Prospero-Burns.jpg Obviously I'll not get an exact match and it'd need scaling the be in keeping with the "regular sized" marine lord too! But I've been trying to find a suitable sword to replace this axe - needs to be ornate enough to be eye catching and large enough to still fit OK on the haft of the frost axe I'm replacing. And it's been a phenomenal challenge! The closest I think I've got is possibly a bloodletter's hellblade but predictably all the bits stores are out of stock! Does anyone have any recommendations for a suitably brutal looking sword I can use? Ideally something resin, happy to use 3rd party companies etc. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/256374-resin-swords/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indigo Posted July 13, 2012 Author Share Posted July 13, 2012 For example the long sword from here is almost what I want but did think there might be other, less daemonic, versions out there.... http://www.puppetswar.com/product.php?id_product=138 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/256374-resin-swords/#findComment-3119930 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucien Eilam Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 The Warhammer Chaos Knights box has a couple of swords like that. There's a similar one on the Chaos Lord on Manticore sprue.

Indigo Posted July 13, 2012 Author Share Posted July 13, 2012 Found them, thanks for the recommendation. Probably going to try a bloodcrusher sword first, etch some runes into it and then see how it comes out. Now I have a related problem - large, circular shields bigger than those you get with the thunderwolves themselves! Looking for one maybe 0.5cm larger in diameter. Any advice? Uk supplies preferred.
