A dark weapon for a less civilized age

Oh my goodness yes I love Daft Punk lol! And thank you!

Here's another one!

Unity:





I had a feeling there should have been some more black in this version, so this was the change I made:



Dark Unity:

Great designs Savannah95. Your staves are wonderful. The Resonant and now Dark unity. DU sleek and deadly look. Awesome!

Hi Savannah95,

You're most welcome.
These pics show how you have a concept and then develop it! Very nice.
You may have a contender for MommyHoldMe's Black Hilt Crew club with Dark Unity!

May I ask if you know how to line up the parts (rotating the pieces around their axis)?

kind regards,

For Tyeth

Thought the same thing then noticed her switches and emitters all line up. She's seems to know the tricks.

Hi all,

Yes I asked Savannah95 just to make sure she knew about this trick as it really helps.

Sorry for any confusion,

For Tyeth

Thanks everyone and yeah I know about the part rotating feature! Sometimes though when I'm coming up with a quick design (like when I'm in class, please don't tell my professors ) I kinda neglect the lining up of everything. Luckily I save the link for every design so when I pull it back up everything is lined up by default. That's pretty convenient unless I wanted something rotated a specific way.

Hi Savannah95,

Your secret's safe with us, but don't neglect your studies too much Padawan!

Hi all,

I will post one final design for today. This Saber is called,

Royal Warrior:









And the BHC black edition:









Hope you all like it. I have to save some designs for later. Thanks for looking.

For Tyeth

Haha I won't, spring break starts tomorrow so I should get my needed saber design fix that'll last me for a while!

Love the Royal Warrior! The combination of black and chrome on the first one comes together nicely!

Hi Savaanah95,

Thanks, this was an old design I hadn't posted. I have to include the Black Hilt versions as well otherwise a certain group of members will fall out with me! (MommyHoldMe and OvrcAHst).
I have just started refining a couple more (including a type that I haven't tried before). I am going to try and use the Sinister Prophecy emitter in one as well.

I look forward to seeing your efforts,

Hi Adan Valera and Realrebelus,

Sorry if your posts seemed to be overlooked but I just noticed they have been added out of sequence (something that happens occasionally due to Moderating).

To Adan Valera, you have two nice looking Sabers and I like the way you have extended the pommels to make them stand out more. The Exile pommel is low profile but using the coupler with it worked brilliantly.

To Realrebelus, similarly your design works well, it is simple, solid and dependable. You also used the switch section to provide a good choke point for spinning!

Three nice Sabers, hopefully you will both post more!

kind regards,

For Tyeth

I have a couple of questions about the saber I've designed for all you experts out there. I'm brand new to all of this, so I hope you'll forgive any questions that I don't know the answers to.

Firstly, does this saber strike you as more of a Jedi saber or a Sith saber?

Secondly, I see people commenting on others' sabers with replies such as, "Oh, this looks like a saber from this place or that place or this era." I know nothing about these types of details but would really like to know where this information comes from.

Finally, I was just hoping to get some honest feedback of the design. I like it. I think it has nice symmetry to it, but I also don't want to seem like I'm ripping off anyone else's ideas. I haven't had time to go through all the pages of custom hilts yet, so if the name "Apex" or the saber's design is representative of any former designs then it is purely coincidental.

Thank you all very much!

The Apex:
-Exile Pommel
-F/M 3 Coupler
-Body #10
-Sinister Prophecy Switch
-Emitter #10

That BHC edition is sexy. The white LED choice is good. Sorta a ying/yang style black with the black and white. Awesome job For!

Hi all,

Just before I call it a day I thought I had best post this design, I will say it may not be one of my best but I'll share it anyway.

I call it

Double Onslaught:







And in Black:





I hope to have more later,

For Tyeth

I was actually thinking about building a staff using the Juggernaut emitter but wasn't sure if I could come up with something decent with it. That Double Onslaught (love the name btw!) shows that it can be done! There's still plenty of grip room on the hilt to compensate for the Juggernaut's design. The color scheme looks great as well!

Here's a hilt I whipped up recently which is more of a product of changing around some of my existing designs:

The Beacon:

*head tilt* I actually really like those two, Savannah. A pair, however that black one calls to me. Super stealthy, and with the white LED it reminds me of hiding in the shadows and blinds people when exposed. Nice job! Plus.. black.. BHC.. given which one I like.

Hi Savannah95,

Thanks once again, I purposely rotated the emitters to be at right angles from each other similar to a kayak paddle. I realised the staff changes orientation as it is swung. Because of the twist induced by the wrists and shoulders the blade rotates but having the emitters at 90 degrees means the axe blades always cut downwards in the direction of swing.

Back to your designs, EVOLUTION is the trending word on the forum at the moment. You have shown progress and change in your designs, the way you develop ideas, and I love that.
I do have to say co-incident!
I private messaged Willieboi about his Saber on March 2nd, the message read:

Hi Willeboii,

Thank you for the thumbs up you gave my Saber design. You asked for a suggestion for a name for yours, well I thought "The Beacon". The emitter and blade colour looks a little like the beacon fire towers in medieval times and Lord of the Rings. And beacons can be a sign of hope and good values!

Keep designing and posting new sabers!

kind regards,

So I have to apologise again, I don't intend to read your mind but it seems to happen quite often!
Please keep up the good work and post them here,

For Tyeth
