I had a good time tinkering with Lego (okay, okay, playing with Lego, stop
twisting my arm) last night.
Best visually sans color is the lightsabre with a spear in the other end. No
huge out-of-proportion pieces. Is there a black lightsabre blade? Gray I have
a few of, but mostly the transparent ones. I suppose I could chop up matching
spears and then I'd only have the chrome lightsabre handle, but I could live
with that.
Not too bad was the toilet-plunger with 1x1 round with spear. Made 'em all
black and this worked reasonably well. A fraction shorter, but quite
servicable. Replacing the spear with a katana works even better since the hilt
covers the rest of the hole in the 1x round, but it makes a better naginata
than pike.
Anthony's trick above produces a nice pike tip, but a real-top heavy look. The
lance is quite long, so the length is okay.
Lopping the blade and reverse spike off a gray halberd produces a slightly
longer spear that could be servicable as long as you don't mix them with
halberds in the same unit (which of course, is what they often did).
The two-handed over-hand body-sideways thrust pose looks great except it kinda
prevent a second rank standing close.
I'll have to see about the plastic tube/rod from the hobby store when I get a
chance.
