Bitquest: Recommend Me a Nasty Sword

[ElectricPaladin]

I'm looking to swap out my old metal Blood Angels librarian's sword - it's been falling off for years - with a nastier-looking one. Can anyone recommend a good bit? I'm looking for something spiky and deadly-looking, but with no overt chaosy symbols (that would be hard to shave off anyway), that I can buy on eBay. Remember, it's got to be sized for a Space Marine.

Any advice?

grey knights... with added spikeyness via craft knife?

I went through the GW website, combing for swords with your criteria, and I think I've found a few matches.

Lokhir Fellheart:

The sword of the guy off the Bloodthrone of Khorne:

The one guy on the bottom far left of the possessed Marines:

A couple of the Mandrake weapons looks like they'll do:

Anyone one of those look like they'll fit the bill and should go one with a minimum of shaving and cutting off excess details.

Thanks, man. I'll check them out and see which one looks best to me.

So, it turns out that I actually have Lokhir Fellheart's sword. Back during a sale at my FLGS I got him half off, but I converted him up to be a Dark Elf lord riding a dragon, so I never used the sword bit (I gave him a shield and a spear instead). I had the sword in a plastic bag with a bunch of other bits I wasn't sure what to do with. It's a great fit - really nasty looking, and the pose of the model means that he'll be staring down his sword at the enemy, which is neat - and best of all, I own it already.

Thanks!

Glad I could help!

For something a bit bigger, there's the Kromlech Post-apocalyptic "Rippers":

The "Steampunk Weapons" from MaxMini are pretty neat, too:
