It's a bit too fantasy to be added, we are only adding realistic models atm (and foresee-able future).

Keyword being adding.
What's ingame is ingame, current direction is more 'realistic'.
Basically, if you can pick it up, swing it and it would hold up in combat, it's realistic enough.
If you can't think of a use for a part of the blade or hilt, it's probably too 'fantasy'
.Regarding this model, only thing OTT is the colour (I am a fan of the inheritance cycle, so I understand
).If it was toned down, made with a bit of transparency for the 'iridescence', it would be much closer to being added
.For example:
-making the blade texture much less blue.
-Increasing blue specularity coeff
And for some detail, try adding some white (blur it a bit) around the edge of the blade. I also like to add some darker areas at the base of blades, which fades out as you go along and to the edges.
Using GIMP or Photoshop?
Nothing is impossible, it's just a matter of determination and probability.
