I got some old, metal Black Templar models from a friend of mine, a while back, and there's one in particular that I really want to restore. Many of these models are missing limbs and whatnot, but this one is an old Emperor's Champion model, and it's wonderfully cast in metal. The issue is, he's missing his sword arm. Here's where I need help. The sword he holds is really cool and fancy, but I can find it anywhere. I don't want to spend money on a whole new model only to steal its arm, nor can I find a replacement arm on eBay. Anyone have any advice? Does GW offer anything that might help, or does anyone know of someone willing to part with this oddly specific piece?

Best case scenario, you manage to find the bit on ebay or a hobbyist willing to trade with you. Afraid I can't help with the latter.

This one might work as a stand in:

I believe the emperor's champion is just holding a relic sword, just get the vanguard vets boxset, it'll have the giant relic blade and plenty of arms for conversions.

Aesthetically the Vanguard one is nothing like the Champion's.

I do actually have a spare, although p&p from the UK would probably cost more than a new model.

Which EC model is it?
That would probably help....

It's this model. It's one of the old metal minis.
