Title: Review of the Lost Gray

One thing I forgot to mention is that the emitter is MHS compatible as well - as I discovered here:

I really like the stock pommel but sometimes I can't help but make some small changes when I can, love MHS :)

I also installed QD's though it's a bit of a pain trying to get the wires back into the hilt down the deep channel of the shroud, but I like having the option to switch colors.

Cheers!

Nice. I was about to ask what font is on the Prophecy too then I heard the Kylo Ren power off :P The one on the Archon sounds cool too actually

Appreciate it guys, thank you!

@Zren - the font on my Archon is one of my favourites and it's from the "other guys" tweaked to work on Obs.  And it's definitly the kylo font on the Prophecy :)

Spectacular review haz!

That Tri-Cree looks so bright and vivid!  CG is also one of my favourite colours, and I adore the look of it on my Prophecy. :)

I'm also a huge fan of FoC, so don't own a Tri-Cree yet - thanks for the comparison, and explanation.

Great to see your Archon as well. ;)

Thanks for showing us the example of the girth...that really helps me judge the size.  It does look very comfortable with minimal "greeblies" on there. :P

+1

Man, I need to add sound to mine.

Great review, bro.  I really like that setup you have there, the gold buttons are fantastic and I like the Bellicose pommel on there.  What you need now is a gold plated (NOT anodized) AV switch to match those other buttons.  Interesting comparison on the three greens, with the standard, RGB and Tri Cree.  Not a lot of people do that, so that was useful information.  :)

Excellent review Haz!  You have quick disconnects on your Prophecy?
Without sounding gay, you have really nice hands or at least a nice left one.😉 I got my dad's knobby looking fingers.

@Lord Rapine - Actually my Archon felt amazing to handle(!) - hadn't taken it out in a while, but . . .  :'(  (hehe . . .  ;))  And thx my friend!



@scifi - The V4 board is a great balance for mute on the fly - which I use often cause I get in too much trouble from my wife in the evenings lol.  But love that sound and can't go without it!  Great idea on the gold switch although, I like the slight restraint with the silver switch being a standout :)



@Jediseth - Lol, I understand what you mean . . . I actually use Force Persuasion during my reviews now so thats why you see my hand waving about :P  I install QD's on all my (well mine and my kids') non-emerald hilts - just an extra step to be involved and personalize them.

Haz, are you getting extra QD off US or TCSS? I have been wanting to get some of those.

Great review! Good work on showing the girth there. Wasn't a fan of how ginormous the Fulcrum is but the Lost Gray is now something I'm considering. Point :)

@Jediseth - TCSS, I get most of my DIY stuff there but you can find better prices on Amazon for other items like different style AV switches and stuff.



@HoverFloat - Thanks!  The little bit of extra width is noticeable because hey, it's a shroud . . . but it's not a detractor to the hilt IMO.  It adds to the distinctiveness of it - it's not like anything else I have and I like that part of it too.
