I added a little gold paint to give it some contrast, otherwise it's pretty much untouched. And that's 300 kk2 swords around him.
Where and why did you get all of those!?

Ah just ADMIT that you like KK2 swords. :lol:

I'll post pics in my other thread of KK2 stuff of how to I've put those KK2 weapons, armors, helmets, and swords into good use.

Okay, I like them.

True, some of the colours (namely yellow and red) are less than appealling. True, they're as bendy as a willow wand. True, the crossguard (is that the right term?) goes down instead of up.

But, yeah, I like them.

I'd like them even better if TLC had changed a few small details. Too late now, I suppose.

Actually that comment was for MaxiVisVires as he has tons of them in that pic with his minifig.

Quillons is actually the correct term :wink:

I think I got them for some army. When I put them in use however, they made my figs look like something coming out of a Space Theme set. So now they're collecting dust till I figure out what to do with them. :(

I don't think the sword design is too bad, but the colours are a bit extreme.

I'm considering to use the orange sword as being imbued with fire power, and glows red hot to burn through stuff.

If I get enough of these swords I'd probably paint some silver to make them look more realistic.

I'd say that im not a fan of the yellow sword either. The others are fine for me. However I don't like using them for soldiers, just like I wouldn't use chrome swords for a normal soldier either. Larger sword to me equals more power and a unique touch, so only special knights or strong foes wield them.

I love the Bronze though and the Gold isn't too shabby either.

I think the design is hopeless for castle. On the other hand, i think it'll be fine for space mocs, for commanders or other special figs especially. I'll surely order a couple for my next space moc 8)
Whatever you do, don't.
