Charlo Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Hey brothers! I'm looking for THE biggest sword that you could feasibly put on a normal Astartes! Not the GKTDA ones though, they're a little overused (if cool still)... Any good ideas?

Guest Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Deathwing Terminator Sword, DV Masters Sword and the one from Vanguard Vets are the ones that spring to mind.

Jolemai Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 One handed Glaive Encarmine from the Sanguinary Guard box is a decent option, as is the sword from the OOP TDA Captain (the gold chap in my blog who you can't believe is armed with a storm bolter).

Jolemai Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 You could also go full on Buster Sword mode and give him a nemesis greatsword Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/326487-biggest-sword-for-astartes-not-gk-though/#findComment-4520111 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted October 4, 2016 Author Share Posted October 4, 2016 You could also go full on Buster Sword mode and give him a nemesis greatsword Is that the GK TDA one or something different? Because that is sort of what I'm after..... If not I also have Arcaeon's metal sword from the foot model lying around.......

Jolemai Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 You could also go full on Buster Sword mode and give him a nemesis greatsword Is that the GK TDA one or something different? It's a tad bigger and as hilarious as it would be, I may not be entirely serious at suggesting you use it!

Charlo Posted October 4, 2016 Author Share Posted October 4, 2016 Oh you did mean the Dread Knight one xD That barely fits on a Contemptor...

Charlo Posted October 4, 2016 Author Share Posted October 4, 2016 How about Gabriel Seth's sword? While I do have it, and am tempted... I think I want to go a true blade for this maybe. Though I'll try the construction out when I can!

Major_Gilbear Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 The Fantasy Empire Greatswords (...whatever they are called nowadays) has about twenty two-handed greatswords in the kit. Ten are straight-edged, and ten are flamberge. Other than that, I think Brother Arkley has covered the main ones I know of... Although there is a pretty big one in the Ravenwing BKCS set too. Another thought is to look look at the Age of Sigmar Stormcast stuff - plenty of very big swords there, and the models tower over a Marine, so they should do well enough as greatswords.

Charlo Posted October 4, 2016 Author Share Posted October 4, 2016 Hmm the Sigmarines are a solid shout! The Paladin spear things a pretty huge...! That Ravenwing one is workable too - as it has wings on. What about Demons? Any really good swords from the Khorne range people could recomend? I may be going the way of a bound-daemon or something.

Jolemai Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Can't find the link at the moment, but in the BA forum someone did a Priest/Sanguinor with a "Buster Sword" that was two of the single Glaive Encarmines back to back. It was the on handed sword with the wing by the haft...

Xenith Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Soulgrinder kit :) The ravenwing command squad comes with 2-3 over sized swords, and the regular command comes with one.

Elzender Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 What about Kromlech ones? They've got a couple of swords that look quite big (one in the two handed pack and another in the one handed, not giving links because their webpage seems to be under maintenance, but if you google "kromlech sword" you should see some images to give you an idea) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/326487-biggest-sword-for-astartes-not-gk-though/#findComment-4520393 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sockwithaticket Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 ^ This. The Sword in the Rippers set is pretty sizeable, broad as sell as tall. Plus you get 4 awesome eviscerators/heavy chainswords, what's not to like?. Although I might have one lying around I could send you.

Olis Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 How about Battle-Brother Artemis' power sword from the Inquisitor 54mm range? That's pretty damned big.

AndrewChristlieb Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 When I did my counts as Helbrecht I knew I wanted a nice beefy chunk of metal to represent the sword of the high marshals. I ended up raiding the bits bin for the haft and used green stuff for the blade. It's obviously not a kit item, but I figured it might be worth a look for you. Sometimes it's easier to just make what you have in mind then searching for the perfect premade bit.

RikuEru Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Sigmarines. Definitly. Hands fit well, style fits too if you like lightning for a power weapon. The basic kit has 5 large one-handed ones, 5 short ones and a very large two-handed one for an Emperor's Champion pose. (Additionally 10 very bulky one-handed hammers and a big one) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/326487-biggest-sword-for-astartes-not-gk-though/#findComment-4520739 Share on other sites More sharing options...
