BLZBOB Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 An axe perhaps? Plenty of those on various marine sprues and something I was planning for one of my termie sergeants.

Barret Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 I think it really depends on what other bitz you have on hand, and how much work you're willing to go to. If you play any non-Marine armies, Fantasy included, they can be a great source of unique weapons, especially if you're willing to go the extra distance to make 'em really look a like a power weapon. I've used Ork poweraxes (Chaos Termie Lord), Lizardmen spears, various Skaven polearms... If you don't have access to extra bits, consider scratchbuilding something. Chop the blade off of the powersword and rig up a glaive or halberd with a pole, wider blade and some techy bitz, perhaps. Cheers, Barret Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/91749-termi-power-weapon-trouble/#findComment-1054452 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axe of Maccragge dont play ultras, but that would look pretty sweet IMO Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/91749-termi-power-weapon-trouble/#findComment-1054453 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Knight Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 perhaps the classic nemesis force weapons? those things rule, you could also give him a more ornate sword? or perhaps some sort of hammer? but that might be mistaken for a thunder hammer i was chcking through the store for a link to the old nemesis force weapons and could not find them, i beleive they might not sell them anymore Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/91749-termi-power-weapon-trouble/#findComment-1054454 Share on other sites More sharing options...
T14 Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 +++Power Maces+++ Chaos Terminator Power Mace - 9947010200220 LINK Mace of Valaan - 9947010801102 LINK These will fit right in, gives you a choice of plain or ornate and you don't see a lot of powermaces on minis these days Cheers -t14 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/91749-termi-power-weapon-trouble/#findComment-1054465 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinobi_soldier Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 I'd say either make something or use the sword from brother captain stern of the GK Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/91749-termi-power-weapon-trouble/#findComment-1054492 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRasterImage Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 It depends on what you want him to use instead. If you objection to the power sword is due to asthetics, then consider this: Take a chain fist, cut away the chain blade part and replace it with a power blade of some kind. The tip of a fantasy halberd or something. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/91749-termi-power-weapon-trouble/#findComment-1054594 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salamander_WAU Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Take a chain fist, cut away the chain blade part and replace it with a power blade of some kind. The tip of a fantasy halberd or something. Now, that is a seriously good idea mate. High elf halberd or similar would be shiny.

Daeothar Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Maces are all the thing this summer, didn't you know? :D http://www.xs4all.nl/~daeothar/FieryLions/Pictures/ForumPictures/AODTermies/WIPTermieSarge.jpg http://www.xs4all.nl/~daeothar/FieryLions/Pictures/ForumPictures/AODTermies/WIPTermieSargeC.jpg Other options include (but are certainly not limited to) swords (think other shapes like scimitars, katana's etc), axes, morningstars, flails, spears, halberds, mauls etc etc. Or go wacky, with fryingpans, barstools or broken bottles... :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/91749-termi-power-weapon-trouble/#findComment-1054705 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Garage Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 google image searches are fantastic for this time of thing. I used that to get an idea for my plague sword, settling on a style similiar to this: http://home.earthlink.net/~athenart/opera/swords.JPG using a simple search for "sword" and through a number of pages I found that. What kind of weapon are you looking for? do a google search, break out a piece of paper and sketch it at the size you want (having a piece nearby to base the size off of is great), grab an xacto knife and some plasticard and get to work :blush: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/91749-termi-power-weapon-trouble/#findComment-1056337 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wulfric1066 Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 It's not too difficult to swap the storm-bolter to the other hand (replace the hand on a lightning shield with one from a power-armoured marine) and use a thunder hammer. Or swap the thunder-hammer to the left hand. I am doing quite a lot of this with my termies as they are becoming Fallen Dark Angel Chosen.
