Cpt_Reaper Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I am looking for swords to be used by some sergeants in my Chapter, or placed onto the model. I am trying to minimise the use of chainswords so for regular CCWs I would like normal blades of any variety. Great swords, katana, scimitars etc. I was going to use grey knight weapons but they still look like power weapons. What are some good bitz sites to find some. I know of maxmini and chapterhouse...any others? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/259652-looking-for-swords/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inquisitor Engel Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 What does a power weapon "look like" though? I have all my power weapons painted in just boltgun metal. Electricity can be invisible, after all. Option 1 - Paint your actual power weapons a special colour, blue is quite popular. Option 2 - Warhammer Fantasy.

Cpt_Reaper Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 I had thought of doing the blue=power approach, but I am looking for variety in the blade design itself. Swords are very important to my Chapter, and each member forges his own. I could use fantasy swords for a few here and there.

Captain Hwarang Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 If you need a large variety of swords, and a lot of them too, I would recommend just making them from plasticard. It wouldn't be as hard as it might seem, since the stuff in a variety of thicknesses. You should be able to cut it out with an xacto knife and file/shave to whatever shape you want. -CH Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/259652-looking-for-swords/#findComment-3158844 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GooseDaMoose Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 That's what I've done with a lot of my various projects' swords: SHAMELESS SELF-PROMOTION I hope that helps a little.

ShinyRhino Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 If you want non-powered swords, look at the WHFB Bretonnia and Empire ranges. A lot of those kits have a wealth of sword bitz, and many have scabbarded swords that fit on a Marine's belt just fine. I used a couple from the Empire Greatswords kit as scabbarded blades for my Honour Guard.

Grim Dog Studios Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 The WHFB chaos warriors have some good marine sized swords, they could work if you file down the chaos arrows.
