About to build an army of 'counts-as' space wolves / successor SW.

The army is somewhat deathwatch themed, so they will all have deathwatch boltguns (for sure) and deathwatch/inquisition shoulder pads (probably). The thing is, Grey Hunters come with a bolter, bolt pistol, AND CCW.

I'm looking to model them all with swords as the CCW, either strapped to their back or some of them holding it/pointing with it, etc.

The sword shape I'm going for is something like this:



Anyone have any clue where I could find SM-sized swords like this in large numbers?

Or any other cool swords? (clean though, no glyphs, power sword accents, barbs, etc.)

Games Workshop sells some Nemesis Power Weapons under the Daemonhunters army bits. If you dont mind spears you should get those. Spears . There also some wicked looking swords in the White Scars Biker Conversion Pack. In theory these should work just like a normal space marine body. White Scars Conversion

Not really what I'm looking for, but pretty cool. I'm going for simple swords to act as a 'ceremonial' standard CCW that every Grey Hunter carries

If you want them sheathed, plasticard and knife handles are your friends. If not, consider dark elf speartips; they have the general shape you're looking forward, and they look a bit more ceremonial thanks to all the fiddly spiky bits.

I was hoping for something less 'barbed' and spiky.

Old GW power swords if you can get hold of lots of'em? Failing that the old fantasy empire sprue had lots of more or less identical swords that could be used. If you have a veteran empire player near you, he might have lots of those left over...

Hasslefree Miniatures does SF swords and axes.

Your "shortsword" is more a long knife, so maybe the blades of the catachans could fit.
