reckoning Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Ive done some searching around the Citadel range as well as third parties but really havent found anything suitable for representing a 28mm scale tomahawk. I plan on using it as an Asartes weapon and had hoped I could pull it off with a small ax from WFB. Nothing has caught my eye as of yet. Im looking for something similar to this: http://www.browning.com/products/catalog/tactical-knives/detail.asp?fid=013E&cid=320&tid=110BL Any ideas?

Olis Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Closest I can can think of is the WFB chaos marauders. I don't suppose you've checked them already, have you?

Pors Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 These might be a little large but with a little handy work could be what your looking for. <http://www.puppetswar.eu/product.php?id_product=215> http://www.puppetswar.eu/img/p/215-840-thickbox.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288955-28mm-tomahawk/#findComment-3640392 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durus Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 While not as stylish as the one you posted a Lego axe might work. The old small ones. Empire free company has an arm with a small axe too. Reaper sells this, has a more tribal feel to it though. You could also easily carve an axehead from a bit of sprue or plastic card and add a piece of plastic rod as handle. Would also get you exactly the shape you want. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288955-28mm-tomahawk/#findComment-3640393 Share on other sites More sharing options...
reckoning Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share Posted April 2, 2014 All good suggestions. Ive looked at the marauder's range but I feel those are too big. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288955-28mm-tomahawk/#findComment-3640649 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veteran Sergeant Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I'd suggest looking at 28mm Native Americans, or even 28mm Vikings. A lot of them will have very simple short hafted axes that will serve as tomahawks fairly easily.

Hyaenidae Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 A number of the Dwarf axes are actually pretty nice, and they usually can be found in bulk on Ebay. A little greenstuff and filing here and there, a little cut, and they'll work great. I used one on the Executioner model I made recently: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288955-28mm-tomahawk/#findComment-3640707 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemal Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 If its for marine3s, I'm worried a 28mm weapon meant for a "normal" human would be far too small and look like a child's toy in the hands of a marine. I also can't find any many 1:48 or 1:35 scale kits for Vikings, Aztecs or native Americans Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288955-28mm-tomahawk/#findComment-3640752 Share on other sites More sharing options...

reckoning Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share Posted April 2, 2014 As always Heathens your models serve as an inspiration. I do like the WB weapons but Id have to file off the chainsaw teeth.

AtlasDM Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 The second axe in the picture Pors posted could easily be cut down to the proper length. Also you could shape one out of green stuff if you have the time to play around a bit. It wouldn't be too hard to let a flat "blank" in the thickness you need dry and then draw the outline of the axe you want and trim it out. I would use a handle from a combat knife just to save some time.

Brother Heinrich Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I shaved down a warriors of chaos axe to make a tomahawk for this plasma gunner: http://i1162.photobucket.com/albums/q532/mv8830/Night%20Lords%20II/38c582b9-1747-4db9-9fb6-99f944645b2e_zps45c6bf0a.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288955-28mm-tomahawk/#findComment-3641186 Share on other sites More sharing options...

reckoning Posted April 17, 2014 Author Share Posted April 17, 2014 So I was looking at the Hobbit range today when I noticed the Grim Hammers and specifically the small axes some of them can take. Anyone have prior experience with this kit? I imagine theyre probably too small for a SM.

deathspectersgt7 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 A while back when I ordered some scythes from a store on Shapeways they had a lot of weapons I'll see if I can find it again.

Warpsmith_Johnson Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I scratch built mine, I used plasticard sheet cut to shape, add a splitting edge, and then attach to a haft made from styrene rod, using either thicker styrene rod, or glue and green stuff. Because they were for my plague marines, I wanted the more robust look, since my tomahawks are intended as trench weapons.
