I am converting up a space marine army that I am calling the Angels of Death. The theme or at least visual theme of the army is the grim reaper. With that concept in mind, I want convert up scythes for the close combat weapons including a large scale scythe for a dreadnought. I want to make them look like they belong in the 40K world instead of seem like my army is using medieval weaponry. Any ideas on how to do this or if there is a model range that makes something i could use?
Next topic. Another idea that I thought would be cool from a conversion perspective was to have a winged assault squad. At first I was looking at actual angel or bird wings, but then I decided that it wouldn\'t make sense for a normal space marine to magically have wings, even as cool as it might look. So what I want to do is try to make some mechanical looking wings based on the shape of angel or bird wings (think archangel from x-men) Same question; how can I build/sculpt/convert these or is there a miniature that has similar wings that I could use?
