As for the buckler I considered using a bretonnian warhat from the pesant sprue, but it's not quite "there" in terms of looks.  I'm at  a loss how to not make this look like crap.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/128162/128162.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/128162/128162.page GMT For the sword blade I recommend using a piece of copper wire, hammered flat and filed into shape.  You can then add details with GS or other bits of wire.  I used this technique to make the autarch's power sword as seen here.
