Ummm Use the Sardaukar Elite Model, re-skin it and then you should be fine.

The programmes you need are, DuneEx, the XBF Editor (both these can be found on the site) and a graphics programme which will let you save TGA files in 24-bit mode with RLE compression

Heheh that's the famous 'new modder's first idea'. Everyone thinks that one up and as one would expect there is a plethora of mods that have a similar unit, often with a lengthened knife so as to resemble a sword.

Download a few mods and you're bound to find a swordmaster model or something like that.

Let Frodo be remembered as its creator. It was he who thought of the idea first.
