In my codex, it says ....... Replace with -lightning claw, powersword, etc etc....... But in other parts it just says power weapons.
Do you really have to put a sword? why not a generic axe or mace that some sm kits come with. I am a bit short on swords but a huge abundance of other weapons.
Do you really have to follow this?

I'm fairly sure that given the fact that the rules are identical in the current edition, only the most stringent of rules lawyers wouldn't assume that was a fair "counts as" modeling job.

Marneus Calgar is referred to as "one of the Imperium's greatest tacticians" and he treats the Codex like it's the War Bible. If the Codex is garbage, then how bad is everyone else?

You don't need it to be a sword. Just make it look like a power weapon (all my power weapons for example are a sky blue)

When in doubt burn it, then burn yourself for doubting.

The FAQ renames all powerswords in C:SM to powerweapons so yes even the those most stringent should not have a problem

So long as it's consistent, you can have anything represent a power sword. Feel free to put flowers in their hands.

It's been fixed in the Space Marine FAQ.

Page 129-133 – Power Sword.
Change all references to “Power Sword” to “Power
Weapon”

No, they're:

FLOWER POWER SWORDS!

How to paint them? Just paint a VW Camper, a few rubber daisies or possibly "Keep on Trucking" on the side of your power weapon. Simple.
