Finding suitable swords...
« on: January 16, 2020, 05:55:30 PM »
Does anyone have any suggestions for replacing the fine bendy metal seventeenth century swords on empress Ecw miniatures with something more robust? ( Ive seen people use the warlord plastic ones but the are a bit shorter and I'd like to find something better if possible)

Abaroth has a worthwhile suggestion.

Might not work for the length you are looking for but it is a good suggestion.

I was going to suggest comb teeth too, as many recommend such and say they last because they are flexible.
