    Default Cavalry units swords.. too short ?

    Can we change the length of the swords being used by some of the heavy cavalry units ? When I see Companion Cavalry or the Selecuids Cata's switchng to their swords, they just seem to look too short in my opinion. I'd always assumed that cavalry units used a longer blade when getting in close and personal or if it was a shorter weapon it would be a mace. I've seen some Parthian units that have the right length blade - not the Parthian Cataphracts but I think they might have been Persian Heavy cavalry. Is it too late to change the swords blade length or am I just being picky ?
