Actually, I'm so-so on the blade shape.  I have some ideas but.... those will wait for tomorrow.

[Turnsky]

take your time... there's no tearing great rush is there? i thought not..

[Rictor]

ze Red Star eh comrade?

I can't say I much like the URRS weapon designs. I like the old Gorka weapons more, they actually resemble guns. If its telekinteically manipulated, wouldn't only sorcereces be able to handle them. From what I know, normal soldiers dont posses any special powers.

Your second designs looks cool. The way you describe it, it reminds me of Dinobot's weapon in BeastWars. If you want my advice, take of one end (just half your current design), and use the weapon as a "shield with an axe at the end"

BTW, how do you know Russian?

*thinks that he should never have given Tiara that axe*

[Knight Templar]

those are pretty trick Shrike.

No, normal soldiers get TK training as well.

that sentence is so funny after playing a FPs with a squad of noobs.

Now that I'm not falling down tired....

[Nico]

mmh, I prefered the former version ( I know, who cares what I prefer ).

[Shrike]

This one looks more axe-y though.

[Warlock]

Looks sweet bro


Course it reminded me.... you never did do up that Saber hilt design we got talking about on ICQ way back

It's kinda excessive looking. The original looked more utilitarian, like an actual weapon- this looks more like those wierd fantasy knives and **** with so many curly bits and points and such they couldn't actually ever be used as weapons.

That's sort of the idea.  I don't see how you could make a respectible-looking TK axe.  If anything it'd be like a Pred disk.

[Stryke 9]

Pred disk?

Looks utterly useless. See, that would never make a real-life weapon, and anyone who's ever thrown anything could see that. You need to figure out a design that can be carried around and swung effectively in combat (hands or no, that thing'd be unwieldy as hell), not just look freaky, because if you just go for looks it won't look nearly so good.

The disk is a self-guided smart weapon.  Haven't you seen Predator 2?

[Stryke 9]

No. I've got a to-watch list that extends longer than the average human lifespan, and I watch maybe two movies a month- it's somewhere in there. It still looks useless- you'd need your other hand to get it off, even.

Anyway, who says it has to be a double-bladed axe? One side would be enough, something like a fan blade o' death might be interesting...

was in the first too, but used less often. that thing was nifty, should I add ( and it made a cool sound ).
