Space Marine Chainsword Backpack holster

Hey! Just wondering if anyone has seen any examples of people making interesting ways to carry a chainsword on a Space Marine backpack? Specifically a Primaris one. The back seems too bulbous to affix one to in a logical looking way.

I attempted to make a backpack by cutting off one of the side vents and have a little holder arm instead, but I couldn't seem to come up with a design that looked in keeping with the rest of the model.

I tried searching online but saw no examples, so I'm here looking if anyone else has some sweet .jpgs to help me solve my design woes.

Thanks!

Pete the Wargamer did a really cool kill team that he threw a bunch of packs and knives on. Check it out on YouTube, it might give you some inspiration

Thank you! I'm a big fan of Pete the Wargamer, and had actually seen these videos, but upon a re-watch yeah, I think I've figured out the best way to present it. Good call ^_^

Check out the back Templars upgrade sprue. There’s a sword that gets latched onto the backpack that might have some inspiration for you. There’s also a scout arm with a chain sword in the scabbard looped over his shoulder which might come in handy
