Title: Help with choosing new saber Post by: Darth Consonous on July 30, 2014, 02:58:52 PM Okay guys, Darth Consonous here,
I have recently created a post about creating myself a new saber which would be used for the sith. However I have taken a look at the Mantis CE and fallen in love with it, especially the picture with the green blade, it looks perfect. Now the question is. If you were to have this saber would you: Change the emitter? -If yes, to what? Change the pummel? -If yes, to what? And being a jedi blade, would you have the blade green as I kind of want it, or would you go for blue? Also is the green strong as I am used to the red, being a sith :D. My other question is I currently own a standard Overlord. If you could make changes to the pummel and emitter, would you? and what would you change them too. Hopefully you guys can help out!

I honestly wouldn't change the emitter, it just fits the saber perfectly and I don't have any other emitters that would look good on it. I tried other silver pommels, the Archon and Manticore ones, not sure if I had any others but they didn't look that good on it. I also got mine in emerald green and I think it looks great. My 2nd choice probably would have been arctic blue. You probably wouldn't go wrong with either one. The Mantis emitter also looks great on other sabers. I have the clawless version on my Archon and I love it.

Do you mean you have made the green using the emerald drivers or is it the standard green? I think I will get this saber, when I have an excuse to buy another haha

Title: Re: Help with choosing new saber Post by: Molina00 on July 30, 2014, 04:00:56 PM Emerald Green is what is called a "forum color". It isn't one of the main colors available and you have to request it at the time of your order. Check this thread for more info on forum colors.
http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=4475.0 (http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=4475.0) I'm not that great of a spinner to begin with, but I don't have much trouble handling it. I am over 6' tall though and I got it with a 32" blade. Title: Re: Help with choosing new saber Post by: Darth_Phobius47 on July 30, 2014, 08:50:03 PM I would get it with both emitters for variety and also see how both your Overlord and Mantis look with each other's emitters and pommels.
For the color of the Mantis, I would go with Guardian Blue like Exar Kun! Title: Re: Help with choosing new saber Post by: Karmack on July 31, 2014, 05:00:36 PM I would love to see the Mantis with a Manticore emitter. Especially going with a jedi color, the different emitter would give the hilt a totally different look and still live up to its awesomeness.
Just my $.02.
