Argh! I got so excited when you started unscrewing bits, because I'm dying to see this thing taken apart!

Hah, sorry to disappoint.  The emitter obviously comes off and the neck piece but I'm not sure if the shroud does.  I didn't want to risk getting the wires all twisted up and messing the thing up the day I got it.

I felt a great disturbance in the force as if millions of nerds cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

Integrity can accommodate the inadvertent error and the honest difference of opinion; it cannot accommodate deceit or subordination of principle.

Thanks.  EG really is a perfect color for this hilt.  It would probably look really good in GB and AB too and I would like to see it in DVA if anyone goes that route.  I noticed in your sig you have a Consular.  I think a dark version of the emitter would look good on it.  If you get the Dark Mantis that is something you might try out.  Wink

Maybe next year....probably next year during a raffle... But yeah it would look awesome!

*Looks at the Mantis next to the Prophecy*

My Prophecy hilts feel so impotent now. Sad

Tongue

i think i still prefer the Prophecy, don't get me wrong I love the new hilt and the emitter really makes it stand out...but I believe that if I when I pick up the Mantis, I will need to also secure another slanted style emitter.

Maybe a reaper emitter?

Of course my Prophecy hilts are still my babies!  I love the lighter hilts the most, they are the best for speed.  Looking forward to seeing the slanted emitter on my Crimson reaper when it comes in.

Yup Josh the Reaper emitter I think would work for how I see it, followed by the dark Arbiter pommel...still keeping the half neck of the original pommel for balance! And very much looking forward to your review Prowl...I'm curious to see what you do for the gap under the Shroud.

Thanks Josh, most folks may not like my tastes but the ones that do... Roll Eyes generally are happy with the finished details.
