Vor'en Kelborn Weapon Master
« on: May 17, 2015, 04:39 AM »
After completing my Super commando I kinda got the taste for more intricate paint working, so for Ashen 2.0 I plan on using Maul's brother as a colour and pattern scheme influence.
From the moment I saw the BRL to pistoleer I wanted to do it, Ashen 1.0 was pretty much there with his twin pistols etc but I wanted to try something new with it.
So when duel brigades options became accessible and I'd already committed to wanting to do a Savage influenced paint job, why not go for weapon master as well to take on Jetti at cons  ;)
So after a feverish inspired night I've come up with this concept:






The idea is 2 stages, first build a Pistoleer and then upgrade to accommodate the Weapon master





Reference pictures





So I set to work with the capable assistance of Rang Kermir to make new plates






The pattern may get adjusted to be closer to Savage in time, these are initial concepts.

The idea is a softer more manoeuvrable  armour for lower half that will allow to sit and more fluid movement :o
Which is not something Ashen 1.0 is able to do easily

Karma will conceal the holsters for a surprise reveal and use, there will also be knee plates much like the original Ashen's but with knee darts

Hope you like my concept and comments/constructive criticism welcome  ;D

I really like that collar design. Are you going to have more details like that elsewhere on the armor?

I'l have details like personal logo, kill stripes and other such, but I'm trying to minimise the yellow so I don't look like a giant wasp :laugh:

Smaller intricate detail like in the center I'm not sure as the kit progresses I'll look into finding where I can put details

Upper section of the back plate almost done, just minor indents to fill and smooth (sanding, filling repeat  :rolleyes:), lower ones will just be just plain  chevron looking till I add paint

Idea refinement, sorry about pictures, it was late when I finalised them



Pistoleer equipment, knife will have to shorter


The BRL Merge of Pistoleer and Weapon Master

Pistoleer/Shootist:

Armor:
Light-Medium armor (standard load).
Helmet must have RF (fast/multiple targeting).
Back plate (keeps the rats from shooting you in the back)
Standard or low-profile gauntlets.
Cod plate

Weapon(s):
Dual-pistols in specific combination(one heavy, one light or matched set) within easy reach of both hands. (No ankle holsters)
Throwing knife (2 maximum, must be throwing-specific, no longer than 8 inches max, must be sheathed/concealed but easily pulled).
1 (maximum) small explosive (Can be any in-universe grenade.  Thermal Detonator, Flash-Bang, Fragmentation, Stun or Ion Grenade preferred).
 
Soft goods:
Belts/holsters/pouches/sheaths of leather or faux leather ONLY.
Sash may be worn in lieu of girth belt. (Must be high-quality fabric, 5-6 inches wide with enough length to be wrapped twice around the waist, tied at the side, with 15-18 inches hanging freely from both ends.)
Only Belt, low-slung, shoulder, and cross-draw holster rigs allowed.
Minor holster/belt "bling" (for swagger, can be metallic buckles or conchos)
Poncho, trenchvest, or kama

Accessories:
Reload power pack (2 maximum, must be openly visible, must match gun to seem "usable")
Pistol maintenance/cleaning pouch (wiping cloth, mock oilier, mock precision tools tools contained inside)

Optional Accessories
Jetpack/Jet Boots
Remote Droid (for target practice/marksman training)
Droid caller (if Remote droid is used)
Bandolier/Bandolero

WeaponsMaster BRL

Must have a sleek look, no excessive protrusions such as antenna, flamethrower housings, comm equipment, and rebreathers. RF are fine due to the iconic look of them. Weapons platform gauntlets are ok as long as they are not too bulky.  Keep in mind that you will be dramaticly posing with said melee weapons so mobility is a must.

By this part I will have a Pre Viszla helmet and have been told that head cannons are very weapon master EG: shooting opponent to soften them up or put off guard ;D

Chosen weapon will not require special types of armor.  But when picking your weapon.. please keep the armor in mind.  A Swordsman wont need the same armor pieces as  someone with a polearm, etc etc.

Minimum Required Arm Armor - Pick 1 for both arms or 2 on 1 arm.   
Elbow armor
Bicep armor
Heavily Reinforced Gauntlets
Larger shoulder bells - if you go this route, make sure they're really beefed up.
Hand armor is highly recommended.

* CAN do more if you so chose, but if you're going for the asymetrical look, make sure to keep it off balance, and dont stray into Heavy Assault territory :-p

Highly Suggested extra armor:
Neck armor
Decap collar
Heel plate
Toe plate (not to be confused with boot plate)
Flank armor

Weapons requirement:
Not too sure what to have yet suggestions would be good to keep with the feel of Savage if possible
In universe melee weapon. The weapon you pick is probably the most important decision of this Profession.  It must be EXTREMELY well made, and we as a team will be paying very close attention to the time, effort put into the weapons as well as the overall quality.  You're a Weapons Master, your weapon is a prized possession as well as an extension of your will.  Keep that in mind when going for this Profession.  The list below is just examples, and you're not limited to them specifically.

Swords -beskar, vibro, primitive blade, cortosis blade, ryyk blade

Polearms- vibro staff, spear, static pike, force pike

Blunt Weapons- gaderffi, electro staff, quarterstaff

Cultural and Ethnic Weapons- Gaffi stick, darkblade, amphi-staves, lavnarok

Secondary weapons such as combat knives are allowed, but only if you have a main melee weapon. Throwing weapons are allowed, but count as combat-knives etc. unless they are a major kit component, such as a lavnarok.

Weaponmasters must also carry at least 1 ranged weapon. The weapon must have, or be of a size that fits in a holster

As always, advice welcome, please do comment

To keep with the feel of Savage, you want a big twirly stick. So I would go with the quarterstaff if it were my choice. You could even paint the tips red as an homage to his saber.

Today a fair bit of actual progress, paint come in and that makes a happy Ashen as this is the bit I love doing
This time I'm going for a heavy desert combat feel, slices, shots and rolling around in the dirt, hoping its shown right.
