Last one for the night!

I call this one the Warbeast. Basically, I wanted to create the longest saber I possibly could while giving it a design that would make it useful for saber users who not only use both hands, but rely on their strength to deliver heavy blows. Like a Form V user!

Anyway, here's the Warbeast.

This one I call the Headsman. Basically it as designed to look like an executioner's axe. I know it isn't super creative, but I thought it was natural to extend the Juggernaut out with the longer double body in black leather.

I like that, it looks like something that would be used by a Sith living on the outer rim where the lands are more savage.

so, here's a few versions of my Seer (single saber) or Dual Foresight (dual wielding)

I was wondering, for anyone who has used sabers with these emitters, which has the best connection/hold on the blade out of this list?

Emitter 10
Dissident
Fury
Reliant
Vengeance
and maybe Epoch or Vigilant?

Here's my design for a staff that I'm calling "The Gemini staff" or simply "The Twins"




Sorcerer emitter (black) x2
Fury switch (standard x2
Fallen body (standard) x2
Coupler Male 2 (black)
12W+ LED (amber)) x2
26" blades x2

The etchings are these





The text on the first one says "there is no light" and the other says "without the dark"

Been trying to post this for a while because the server keeps going down, but I've been experimenting with using emitters as pommels by use of the coupler:

Hi MusicallyInspired,

Great minds think alike! I posted this three days back in the "Themed Sabers" thread to try and help the Batman theme the guys were working on.

Hi Borommakot,

I just decided to adapt my saber design from a while back and came up with this one, maybe impractical and I would have to use circular clips etc to hold the electronics due to not using a regular pommel, but hey it might work. Just a mad idea really.



Oh and Batman did start training as Jedi, but ran into problems...



I think you'll recognise the teacher!

For Tyeth

I like your designs, very sleek and nice use of the Reborn to balance the Sinister Prophecy's forked emitter.

Kind regards,

ForTyeth

Ah yes! That's fantastic!

The top one of mine has the sinister prophecy emitter, but the bottom with the blade is the dissident, I think it was.

Hi MusicallyInspired,

Yep, that's a Dissident emitter in silver, and I just realised that the Reborn (Pommel?) gives your sabers a 1950's automobile look with the speed wings, fins and chrome. In the SW universe they also look like Greystone speeders similar to the ones in Revenge of the Sith.
I looked at my saber again and realised that the Sorcerer emitter I used looks like the legs of Empire Spy Probe droid from Hoth!

Keep up the great work on your designs, you guys keep producing great designs, I get lucky now and again!

Kind regards,

For Tyeth

Hah! Would be good for a 60's Batman hilt then! ;)

Hi again,

Sorry it took a while to respond but the site seemed to have a bit of a glitch and wouldn't display, oh well back now!
Yes I tried to use the Reborn to represent the Batman Cowl with the spines being the "Ears" but there's three of them.

It might work for a Mr Spock saber as it would have a left ear, a right ear and a final front ear! (Sorry bad joke).

Kind regards,

For Tyeth

(Currently looking for a new joke book!)

Yeah, something's up with the site. Been going up and down since yesterday. At first I was excited because I thought it might be the new site launching....alas, it was not so.

Anyway, back on topic.

Hi MusicallyInspired,

The glitch seemed to coincide with the "No More" thread being locked by Brax so that may have unsettled the site.

I have found trying to design Sabers quite entertaining, I didn't think I had designing skills!
I have posted a few pics and they have been well received so thanks guys and gals!

Kind regards,

For Tyeth

@For Tyeth,
I also like your black "War Club" design with the Viper and Sorcerer emitters. Oh, and I agree, the do look a bit like probe droid legs!!!

Hi GreyJedi73,

You just saved me a job, I was about to post a link to my design as I thought you might like it! The Force is strong in you my friend.
I have seen your staff design, very neat and brilliant use of the hilt handles for possible etching. They will make a fabulous matching pair should you actually get them built.

And your Lunar New Year staff is spectacular, I tried to create something similar but it looked like a pair of lanterns on a stick.

Keep up the good work,

For Tyeth

Thanks For Tyeth,
I'd love to get them made although I think it's gonna be a long process i.e. buying a few bits at a time.

Seem to be just missing the boat at the moment, was gonna upgrade my warrior tier Arbiter and add a soundboard to my order but when I had the cash to do it they sold out on the Etsy store. Not sure when they'll restock, knowing my luck it'll be after they ship my hilt out! Then I was planning on ordering a weathered Bane hilt but they just went out of stock too. The item description does say it comes in 5 finishes so it might just be a case of ordering one and choosing the finish in the comments section.

Trouble is after the weathered version went out of stock I warmed to the idea of an all silver one and doing some custom light weathering myself so now I'm torn between the two. There's an all silver one in the review section and boy, does it look sweet! Just gonna wait for a reply then decide. Also gonna spend a little more and get the warrior tier with quick connects instead of just the hilt then I have the option to upgrade to champ tier when the ASP is launched.

I'll get there in the end, scratch that, it'll never end as I've just started liking the idea of a warrior tier Exhalted or do I wait and get a champion tier Chosen lol

Hi GreyJedi73,

This is always the case too many choices, not enough money or time. However your mention of Photoshop has prompted me to learn a new trick or two using GIMP, I can now have a lightsaber in whatever colour I wish.
Normally I'm a Green guy but I wondered what a blue Disciple would be like so I left it switched off and took a pic..



Then used GIMP!







I think it worked ok! It's certainly a useful trick to get an idea of what a saber may look like.
Thanks for the inspiration to learn something new,

For Tyeth
