My Rambling Review of the Archon V3.1 RGBW Diamond

[BatMike90]

Hello Saberforum. This is my rambling review of the Archon V3.1 RGBW Diamond. Here is my rambling video (bottom) and some random shots. This is a beautiful saber. I love it, really love it. I was never a fan of this hilt but I am glad I decided to take the gamble.

*NOTE:*: This is my first time experimenting with Bane's Heart, such a beautiful color!

*NOTE*: This is my first time experimenting with Adegan Silver, this is a color I never thought I would have liked.

Well I think that this is hands down the most passionate review I have watched in a long time if not ever !  Loved the featured sound font and blade light effects lol... you will need to watch the video to see what I'm referring to.

Thank you. Point.

I was wondering if you ever changed the color of the blade to a Sentinel Yellow, and if you did: how did it look with the Archon v3.1 skinny neck? Im planning on purchasing a Archon v3.1 with Sentinel Yellow with Obsidian Lite Soundboard for my brother for a Christmas gift and I know he likes Yellow sabers and such.

Thanks!

Nice saber! Ive always been fond of the Obi Wan style hilts from a visual perspective. Doubt i could comfortably wield one though. Im glad you like your saber!

Any chance youd be willing to upload your "took forever font" and PM ModeratorBigBoss (or maybe Drachir? I dont know it mentions him) for one of them to put it in this thread? http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=11414.0

Thanks for posting this.

I was waffling on getting an Archon 3.1 RBGW w/ diamond or just light sound (and getting a diamond in my second EH... when they get the angled ABs back in stock).  After seeing this review, I think I am set on the Archon.  I was worried about all of the concerns I've read over the restriction of light through the narrow neck, but it looks fine for the colors I use most. 

Plus 3.1 hilt is interesting in and of itself but also kind of a blank canvas for emitter/pommel swaps and maybe some modding.  Plus I just got a couple of ideas for some sound fonts.  And since I recently started working on a shadow collective deathwatch supercommando armor kit... might as well have the Obi saber to go with it!

It is not my sound font. I just made the effects. So I think that is frowned upon.
