Tenderiser - the look of the thing?

Does it HAVE to be a big mace type thing.  This is more a rules/wysiwyg thing rather than creative thing - but i thought people also might like topop up pics of coversions ddone for there tyrant double handed weapon of any sort.

My particular prob is that i really like the massive swoard look - have converted said sword to look double handed, but find all the magic weapons i may wish touse say (large mace headed etc etc), can i still use this huge sword as a tenderiser in tournies?

yes you can - I'd try and make it look as if the tyrant is holding a great weapon, but apart from that, no problem.

Magic items are not restricted to being WYSIWYG. Thus it could be a tiny knife in his pocket if you really want to.

Is that a two-handed knife in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?

Since most people use a large hammer that looks like a meat tenderizer as thiers I can't see why you can't use a sword.  I personally would let my opponent know when I placed the model what it was, but that also gives you the psychological edge of forcing your opponent to avoid him with anything you can challenge

I've toyed with the idea of using a big halberd-like thing as my tenderizer.

It's not a problem, since it's a magic item. Just do what you like

A Tyrant's fist should be a good enough tenderizer.  But a sword would do too.  

If you are going to scratch build the sword, just make it look blunt as if the blade pounds the tyrant's next meal rather than cuts it.
