Does anyone know where I can buy green rods like from old necron wariors in different sizes?
I want to convert all new necron gauss weapons to look like the old ones...

Thanks for any input!

I have googled acrylic rod and gotten a number of websites that offer it, they seem ok. In terms of a store that may carry it ... no idea, it doesnt seem to be carried much by my local hobby stores (that i can ever find anyway).

http://store.miniwargaming.com/ has some IIRC

miniwargaming seems to have what I need, but they are located in Canada and that would greatly increase cost by adding 20$ shipping to europe...

Maybe to clarify my question: does anyone know any store in Europe (best would be Poland) that has them?

I bought tube in every colour from plastruct. Think that was uk. Postage to Australia was only $10, but they had a minimum order size of $30.

Good deal though, came nice and fast

A friend of mine used cocktail picks. Worked perfectly

No clue about Polish distributors, sadly, but I'd suggest looking around at non-hobby-specific options, as well. Like Kroothawk's friend, I've found colored acrylic rods unexpectedly in dollar stores and Walmart, in the form of cocktail stirring sticks. If you need a specific color and/or thickness, there are enough Ebay sellers that I imagine you could find an EU-based one to cut down on shipping costs, if you can't find a Polish website that sells what you need.

Pretty sure you just want 5/32 plastic rods from Plastruct - do a google search to find a vendor in your area, otherwise you can go to Hobbylinc.com or Towerhobbies.com.

You will see a lot of 3/32 - that's too small. You also will see 1/8th - while technicially too big" it works well for Necron Warriors, Deathmarks or any other model that only has one. 1/8th would be a problem for Immortals or anything that stacks them because they are, of course, wider.

Also, when I get home I'll check to see if I have some extra plastruct rods. They come in packs of like 10, and if I have extra I wouldn't mind sending you some. But I'm at work, let me see what I have when I get home.

I will be very, very surprised if there isn't a vendor in Germany that sells what you need.

I don't speak german, so unfortunately I can't help with actually finding one.

Thanks all!
I think I'll have a try with plastruct - they have a distributor in Germany so P&P shouldn't kill me

EMA do a nice range of coloured translucent acrylic rods. I bought some to transfer my 'crons to blue, but unfortunately the blue they supply was too weak and I had to coat it in Tamiya clear blue anyway.

I have also heard, but don't know how accurate it is, that you can use Lego lightsaber parts, which means green, red, blue, and purple are posibilities.
