The Emitter/Pommel Reference Guide (picture request thread)

Does anyone have a pic of a Shock/Shock LE with a Manticore emitter?

[Therom]

Hello,

I am looking for ideas for a pommel to put on an initiate LE V3....
May someone helps?

[Racona Nova]

Take the Catalyst pommel! It has a nice streamlined look on an Initiate and adds slightly more than 1" of length to it. I have them on my Aeons, and you can see that combo on the Initiate, too. I think on the Initiates' product pages is a picture of some Initiates with different pommels ^^

I'm working on customizing my Chosen One so If someone can do it I'd like to see a Chosen One with a catalyst, archon, and manticore high pommel would be appreciated. Any other pommel would be cool as well since they might actually look better than what the ones I envision looking good.

Thanks

I've got a few pommels I can add for you. Give me a few minutes...

Okay, here they are... My favourite would have to be the nickel Guardian pommel (as it obviously is the best match to my nickel Chosen One)

Nickel Guardian


Nickel Guardian (half-pommel) - I don't like it at all, but YMMV


Dark War Glaive (with Guardian half-pommel) I think this pommel looks best with the extension.


Dark War Glaive


Archon


Raven SS (I also have a Raven pommel, but don't see the point of adding that pic as well. Also, would probably look better with a non-nickel saber)



Reaper


Bellicose (would probably look better with a non-nickel saber)


Dark War Glaive Emitter (purely for display, trying to weild it isn't recommended)

Thank you, point for you. You really proved my theory that some of the ones I didn't even consider look pretty good.

The guardian pommel does look pretty good but I'm really liking the war glaive and scorpion ss pommels from your pictures. How much does the point of balance shift with those three and do the accents line up or mess with the grips as well as your pictures seem to show?

Thanks again.

Hi Striker8,

To be honest I didn't try swinging the saber around with the new pommels attached. I don't find the rigid black grips on the Chosen One particularly comfortable to hold, so I tend to grasp it above.

For what it's worth, I have the Dark War Glaive pommel with extension on my Scorpion almost permanently. I grip that near the windows with my fingers over the claw extension and I find it feels very comfortable and nicely weighted for one hand use. It has a UE Heavy Grade blade so maybe that makes a difference. I find the balance point to be between the 2nd and 3rd windows in that configuration.





(Note: I don't know why Photobucket seems to be messing with the rotation, but the forum doesn't seem to be displaying the same orientation as the Photobucket site.)

Bellicose (would probably look better with a non-nickel saber)

The grooves on the Bellicose pommel compliment the ones on the Chosen One nicely. If only it was nickel too...

[striker8]

Thanks again guys, you've helped me narrow things a bit.

I need someone to take an Archon emitter and replace the neck with any of the 2" or less chokes from TCSS. I know the Archon emitter needs a double male thread but I have an adaptor for it so just placing it on top of the choke and taking a picture will do.

Would like pics of the emitter on top of BOTH ends of the choke if the top and bottom isn't symmetrical. Again, you don't have to find a way to screw in 2 female ends. Just place it on top.

Thanks in advance. And if you're wondering, there IS a method to my madness. XD

To paraphrase a movie I think everyone knows...

First rule of SaberForums - we don't talk about the other guys.
Second rule of SaberForums - we don't talk about the other guys.

[Aurick]

It's out of respect. This is the second thread I've seen you reference them. In the future we like to just say the other guys. Most of us know who that is when it's said. But yeah stick to Brian's 2 rules and you'll do fine here!

[Xolad]

I havent seen anyone make this yet, and was wondering if anyone could take an arbiter body (no grenade grip extension) and put an archon neck/emmiter on it. Please and thanks

Does anyone have a shock with Manticore emitter, or shock with Prophecy pommel?  I have looked through the thread and I cant seem to find one!

[Brian64]

I've got a Shock LE ordered and I have a Manticore emitter, so I'll be able to cover that when my order arrives.

There is no such thing as a Prophecy pommel though. When you order one, you select from one of the available pommels. I ordered a Dark Catalyst pommel for my Dark Prophecy and an Arbiter pommel for my regular Prophecy. One of these days I'll order a catalyst pommel so that I can twin both of my Prophecy sabers, but I didn't have an Arbiter pommel and wanted one.
