I'd love it too, but I ain't doin it anytime soon. Yes the scythe is possible, anything is possible as long as the model and phys model both fall at or under the poly limit. You could make a frigging popsicle should it suit your fancy.

Its possible but the limit of the bounding box won't allow it to be as big as necessary as to allow for a full sized scythe, however a one-hand style scythe is possible. I have successfully made a pitchfork model, however I didn't think it was good enough for the workshop. Im going to try to make some polearms soon.

I have entertained a Scythe idea, but never found any appealing.

i suspected that the blade might not be possible, since it would stretch beyond the boundaries of the model, well thanks for the input

It's all about how creative you wish to be about it.

something like this is possible, the blades wont be that long though

I was thinking something like http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110612214846/mk_/images/thumb/3/37/Scythe.jpg/500px-Scythe.jpg or http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111128002213/warhammer40k/images/a/ab/Power_Scythe.jpg to lengthen the apparent blade.

that's a good idea, scythes tend to look weird with a too short blade thou

do you think it's possible to "twist" the scythe so that the blade points slightly upwards without ruining the appearance

Possibly. You'd need tosketch it out to see if it looks wack tbh

Working link please.

nvm that, like the one to the left here
