I want to get a sword for my contemptor or even a hammer but don't fancy buying a dread knight to get one any alternatives? Tried eBay and no luck? Thanks guys

Would plasticard be an option? Maybe greenstuff.

Check them out for something that may catch your eye. Don't cross out the possibility of the fantasy range either, if it's to scale. It's not hard to chop a blade handle off to better attach to a dread arm.

I'd also say scratch build it. A little plastic and a hobby knife can go a long way! Cut a shape, build it up a bit with putty, sand it smooth to a nice edge, and BAM! 1 of a kind super-sword.

Just don't cut yourself. This hobby already requires sweat, money, and time. No need for blood too.

For a hammer, I'd try looking around your home and such for something that would make a good hammer head. Small pill bottles, wooden blocks, legos, etc. Then putty it up/file it down (whatever may be necessary), drill a hole in the bottom of it, and stick a length of sturdy wire in there for the handle. Putty THAT part up, and BAM: 1 of a kind super-smasher.
