I have some ideas for two character models I'm working on, and this garnered some questions from me. One is my personal Rogue Trader, and the other is a character from an RPG I wanted to play, which became involved in a fan story I've been writing. Both would benefit from an answer to the first question, and the latter from the second one.
1. Tempestor Prime Coat? So, both figs are/would use the same base model; a Tempestor Prime, as I really like the carapace armor, and the detail they have, all things considered. The Rogue Trader has been a work in progress for years, and the Inquisitorial Interrogator is a bit new. The question revolves around the Prime's coat bits. Is there a way, short of making it myself, to get a mirrored print of the one half of it? I really don't like how the second half loses the arm in the folds; it would be really nice it it also sported a posable arm that could hold a weapon. My Rogue Trader sports an inferno pistol and Eldar power sword, while the Interrogator wants a plasma pistol and a Force sword, since she's a psyker. At this moment, I don't think i could make my own piece that gives the coat a more "symmetrical" fit to the model, and I was wondering if anyone knew of a place where I could get one, or a similar set of "coat bits" that would fit that model, and look as I'm describing? For the Rogue Trader, i guess i can make it work, but having two arms, and the ability to somewhat position them, each holding a weapon, would still be great, but the coat look is essential.
2. Force Sword? I'm just guessing that there isn't a Guard-scale bit for a Force sword; 9e Primaris Psykers basically don't have options, and have staves, nor do Astropaths, and while I love me some Grey Knights, I feel their Nemesis-force swords are too big, being scaled for Astartes. I'm thinking I'd just use a Guard power sword, and make it look different, but how? Lots of people paint their power swords with "active fields", so the energy/electrified look is already attributed to that. I'm sure some just look like silver-bladed swords, but I've also seen black with blue and white highlights, and still have them referred to as "power". Is there a good motif to use to make a Force weapon look the active part?
