				<title>Looking for a weapon pack with a good sickle OR tips on converting one.</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ So, I've been working on a batch of Reaper minis for my D&D mini collection recently, and had the urge to whip something up wielding a pair of sickles. Unfortunately, Reaper's miniatures with sickles are all 1) terribly sculpted, 2) undead, or 3) wielding a khopesh and calling it a sickle. Additionally, out of Reaper's numerous weapon packs, I was only able to find one decent sickle, and it's one of the full-half-moon, polearm varieties - not what I'm looking for.<br /> <br /> So I ask you, Dakka, do you know of 1) any good weapon packs out there from other companies that include a good sickle, or 2) a good way to convert one up that doesn't involve plasticard? I have a pretty large <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(3);'>40k</span> bitz box to work from, including numerous Space Marine, Ork, <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(69);'>IG</span>, Tau, Daemons, and Necron bitz, but so far have found nothing that'd make a decent converted sickle.<br /> <br /> Any help would be appreciated! All suggestions welcome!<br /> <br /> For reference, what I'm looking for should look somewhat like this:<br /> <br /> <img src="http://www.dfoggknives.com/copy_of_index/sickle.jpg" border="0" /><br /> <br /> Note the gentler curve and shorter blade than the standard agricultural variety.<br /> <br /> Thanks!]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ I'd like to preface the post by stating that I can't see the pic, but get the idea. I went looking for a scythe-equipped miniature from Reaper to represent one of my gaming group's characters (an Avenger of the Raven Queen) and had very little luck. I ended up converting a model to fit the job.<br /> <br /> A bit of brass rod and some carefully cut and sanded plasticard should do the job. The claws on the converted flayed ones are made the same way.]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ Well, I recalled this one model which has sickle as a weapon:<br /> <a href="http://www.westwindproductions.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=126_148&products_id=1434" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.westwindproductions.co.<span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(134);'>uk</span>/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=126_148&products_id=1434</a><br /> Though paying 4£ for just a weapon might be too much, but at least you wouldn't have to use plasticard <img src="/s/i/a/c944477abc92c1c101da485e07ff06d8.gif" border="0">]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ Any particular reason you're against using plasticard?  It honestly seems like your best option.  If the issue is simply not having any, then I'm sure you could find a reasonable substitute laying around.  Hell, I've cut and filed bits and bobs out of everything from plastic eating utensils to canceled credit cards.]]></description>
