Overlord Staff

[DarthSolus]

Hey guys, it's been a long time coming but I've finally taken some pics of my Overlord staff to share with you.

First of all, I just want to say that the Overlord is probably my favorite saber, and although my collection has grown quite a bit recently, it still remains my old standby. It is a longer hilt, yes, but I'm quite tall and have larger hands so I find the size and balance quite nice. It wasn't long after I picked my first Overlord up that I grabbed my second, both fully loaded of course.

Now I tend to grab the middle section of my staff quite a bit, so I opted for a smoother, more uniform coupler from TCSS. Don't get me wrong, the US vented coupler is gorgeous and I assume it's quite loud, I just personally wanted a smoother look for my staff. I went with a black powder coat and use two O rings in order to line up the staff's AV switches.

Here it is in action, it only adds about 1.5 inches to the saber's length, while still letting out plenty of sound.

Now I also picked up a couple of Maul inspired Blade Holders from TCSS, which I occasionally use to give the staff a more "classic", movie-like appearance. I love how comfortable they are, and they fit the style of the staff perfectly. Let's hear it for MHS compatibility!

So without further delay, here is the fully assembled staff. The entire hilt measures exactly 26 inches from tip to tip, and I opt to use 32 inch heavy grade blades for duelling. The whole thing as it stands fully assembled is quite lengthy, and it is quite a bit taller than me when I stand it on it's end (I'm 6'5").

Here it is with the classic emitters:

Anyway, there you have it; my own pinnacle of Sithy awesomenss. I can't recommend these sabers enough to anyone, they're absolutely fantastic in every way, and as much as I love the loudness and clarity that one obsidian soundboard creates, two of them joined together into a staff (or even dual-wielding!) makes for an entirely more intense experience altogether.

That is bitchin', Those different emitters make it look like Darth Maul's.

Also the first time I think we've had an Overlord Staff here on the forum.

Point.

[CZ3RO]

You're 6'5"?!  I wanna see a pic of you wielding that beast!

[Shalateaus]

  wow man you actually bought two?.. awesome whered you get the connecter anyway? grats and of course a point 

[CZ3RO]

Just had a flash of inspiration:

That black windowed coupler would look dope as the neck on an Archon!   

(Yeah, I said dope, I was excited)

[Vex]

AwEsOmE!!

[DarthSolus]

You're 6'5"?!  I wanna see a pic of you wielding that beast!

I'll get on that soon!

The connector is from The Cusom Saber Shop (or TCSS).

Actually, I have an Archon V2, I've just never thought of trying that!

[DarthSolus]

@CZ3RO As you suggested that the coupler would look awesome on the Archon V2, I threw it on there to see for myself and you were absolutely right, it looks amazing!

Sweet lord.


Or should I say Overlords 


I love how you went all out with this thing, and Kham is right, it has a striking similarity to Darth Maul's

pointification.

[MrJediMan]

EPIC! Why do the Sith get the coolest Sabers?

[JediShadow]

/!@@$@?!~!!!

I don't know if there are words to describe how awesome that staff looks. I love the modifications you made to it with emitters and connector. I have always considered myself a Jedi by nature but this staff seriously has me contemplating a dalliance with the dark side It looks so good. Maybe some blue blades and I could keep it a light side-ish saber lol...

And here is a point for you!

[jmPlagueis]

EPIC! Why do the Sith get the coolest Sabers?

Same reason to why they have cookies

[Veldryne]

Oh my god.......thats just......so pretty.....and i HATE read sabers

and using that piece on the archon v2 making the slightly windowed hilt....

[Master Nero Attoru]

That is a beautiful staff!  Great pics too, they make it look absolutely tantalizing.  The Maul emitters definitly add a different look as well, very cool.

[Luna]

I love the other emitters.... looks very clean-cut, but still menacing. You get a point.
