The fine folks at Epic Weapons have created some awesome full size replica Grey Warden and Darkspawn swords and they are doing a 10 day "pre-sale" starting today. After the 10 days are up, they will go on sale January 21. And for  people who act fast, the first 200 customers will save $50 off the retail price.

These are not desktop swords to open your mail, these are full size metal replicas direct from the game.

Act fast to get your swords and save. Check them out over at Epic Weapons

Forgive me if I'm being stupid, but where in the game is the grey warden sword?

Kind of looks like the one used in the CGI trailer to me.


Also, DO WANT.

The deep and profound geeky-ness of this cuts into my soul.

[Dhanik]

Can those things harm people?

It's from the Blur CGI promo trailers, it's not an in-game weapon.

[Hatem]

They should make a pistol or an assault rifle from Mass Effect. I'd definitely buy that.

[Reclusiarch]

The shipping to Sweden is almost as mucha s the sword itself, so I have to pass. I wish the Europian Bazaar would start....

[Ulathar]

Shipping costs too high for my region and I doubt I could get it past customs anyways

[flexxdk]

Again, let me guess:

It's a butterknife.

[PROKNIFER69]

[MoogleNut]

Sure, if you want to club them to death.

Those are not combat-grade weapons. They most probably don't have the quality ingredients and forgery it takes to make a decent combat-ready sword, just judging from the price.
Full blown weapons that you can use in combat are for starters around 1000-1500$ depending on what type of sword, what smith and so forth. And don't expect those weapons to be actually good.

Real weapons like people fought with in Feudal times for example are foremostly not forged by now anyway and if, are around a couple of thousands of dollars and heavily restricted in most areas.

It's relatively easy to find decent combat-grade weapons if you are willing to put down $150 or so. For 200-250, you can find top-notch combat-grade weapons, and no, they are not restricted from ownership in the US unless you are concealing one on you in a highly public location such as the mall, bank, hospital, etc. Even then, you can get a concealed weapons permit quite easily in most states.

Are they historically accurate? Usually not. But they certainly are better than weapons that were used during medieval, and even the Rennaisance period, by the simple virtue of using advanced alloys and forging techniques that were simply technologically impossible 500 years ago.

All that said, I somehow doubt the Warden swords are combat-capable in any real fashion, though. They might have been sharpened, but they probably have a crappy tang and are not likely to be well-balanced. Just look at all the extra frills.

Looks nice, though.

At 57" long, concealing that sword would be pretty impressive.  If anyone manages, please let us know.

Now that would be a wonderful xmas gift to myself.
Altho the shipping+ the 17lbs tax/import to Denmark would mean no xmas gift to any friend or family this year!.

ya, it's basically melted spoons bound with krazy glue. stainless steel is crap, (I'm refering to the posts a few spaces above this) my freind and I were big renaissance faire goers and we could always find replicas of weapons made from high carbon steel for around 100-300 dollars. Yet, the grey warden swords do look nice though.

So basically, you pay about $400 (tax + shipping included), give or take, to hang this fancy piece of stainless steel over your mantle as a testament to your awesome geekness and deep pockets.

Would love to have a warden sword hanging on my wall... but their site isn't secure enough for me to feel comfortable breaking out the plastic.

[Insomniak]

^^ No https:...? Well, I have to say that's sketchy.
