Tenno Tomahawk Design

[Hanzo29]

NoDisco "lol" messaged me yesterday about a Tomahawk desigh. Which sounded awesome so i got to work.

 

NOW, before anyone starts calling me a genius im not. i have to state, the the collapsible design of this weapon was taken from and actual modern product. this design is really a culmination.. of actual axes and took visual cues from the Zoren weapons in game. That being said i still think this is awesome. My only regret is that I couldn't get more or the traditional Native American design in without it feeling too tacky. the weapon's spirit remains though in my opinion.

 

This is meant to be a Puncture weapon, great for splitting Grineer armor! the forward point of the blade is elongated and the handle moved back to increase the chances of the blade finding its way into someones chest when thrown >D

 

So I'm really torn as to this weapons classification though. it was intended to be a secondary like the throwing knives. you would gain massive puncture damage while sacrificing flight speed, and ammo capacity. using a mixture of my own idea and NoDisco's original thread here:https://forums.warframe.com/index.php?/topic/112947-suggestion-throwable-primary-tomahawks/?hl=tomahawk. the mechanics would work like this.

 

the collapsed axes would holster on the left leg only, with a magazine of three "cause the axes are much bigger". when the weapon is at the ready you would have an ax in both hands, leaving one holstered. firing ( 1. right hand throws the first ax. 2.off hand passes the next ax, then grabs a third from the holster. 3. repeat once more. 4. mag reloads.) get it? if you act out the motions it actually feels like a lot of fun. and would look really cool. "ONE, TWO, THREE, YOUR DEAD!

 

HOWEVER, after coming up with the intricacy of this design i suddenly felt a conflict building in my mind. what if this were a melee weapon? a puncture counterpart to Glaive and Kestral? higher base damage, but slower flight. and its return could be like Thor summoning his hammer. It just zips straight back to you hand. Using regular attacks you could chop Grineer to little bits!........tough choice no?

 

Enjoy....need to get around to some European weapons I know.

Tenno-hawk? Lol this is becoming more like assassin's creed all the sudden, btw, can you try to make an epic ropedart and submit, really wanna see.

ive been kinda hoping for one actually since they've started bringing in whips.

 

keep in mind assassins creed spans hundreds of years, if not thousands, and a very wide array of cultures and weapons. its gonna be hard to make a weapon that isn't in one of those games.

 

Also this is just what someone asked me to try

Besides if you wanna point fingers at who did it first, it was Turok.

amazing work as always 

 

one thing the blade geometry here is more of a hatchet whereas a tomahawk has a a much smaller and lighter blade stock but thats ok 

we have started using the tomahawk and standard grip blade in my kali/eskrima class and it is a very effective weapon for trapping and attacking !

 

but i think for warframe it would be better as a thrown secondary weapon , so much fun id definitely buy it

[CY13ERPUNK]

EVERY SINGLE ONE of OP's designs needs to be an ingame item NAO!!!!!

DEv team, GET ON IT!!11

Yeah i know its more hatchet like. the original was more the Tomahawk design, but as i was going over it the blade wasnt intimidating enough, kept making it bigger till i got this.

 

by the way nice to see another Eskrima practitioner. i was hoping to make some baton designs later.

[HAYABU5A]

haha epic imagine tenno walking forward in a furious heaven6 sinawali with gold orokin infused doble baston tearing a path thru swarms of enemies and deflecting incomming fire at the same time !! 

 

dont got me wrong your tomahawk looks awesome, i can see why u wanted to make the blade as intimidating as possible

 

omg a thought just occured to me, how about a dual wielded weapon - tomahawk and karambit 

the two together would look insanely wicked and it could have a unique mechanic of some kind

 

some tomahawk drills for your enjoyment !

[NoDisco]

...

Nice job you did. Perhaps with your art DE's will consider making one=) Although i think this should be an impact oriented weapon for it to crush through shields as all other throwing weapons depend on puncture. I hope they will make a vote poll for the ideas on the mechanics of the weapon.

[Goosmo]

You suprise me every time.

IF this gets put in game. I'm going to demand Dual Tomahawk so we don't get that dumped on us after investing in the first.

 

OR make it huge like in the last of the mohicans :

 

 

That's plain badass.

 

Edit: If it were the heavy tomahawk (the big one) version, this could be the first Heavy Thrown Melee weapon. Like the Glaive or Kestrel, but hits harder and slower and multiple targets? So normal melee swings, but then charged you do an overheard throw of the Tomahawk?

Personally, I'd be happy just seeing this as a Puncture alternative to the Glaive and Kestrel. It'd fill a niche, and I think the design is perfect. Either make it retrievable, or teleport/magnetize back to the thrower's hand, I guess. Actually, that'd be really awesome, if upon hitting a target, maybe a second later, it'd disappear in a cloud of smoke to the wielder's hand, with a distinctive "poof" sound, too.

[zergla]

I WUV YOU AND YOUR THREADS!

[DofD]

Man you ARE awesome!!

[--.B.--HARDCOREDAVE-]

As a weapon collector in this game I hope DE picks any of your designs would personally use and collect all of them. Cheers :D

[Freelancer27]

Hey, just a suggestion.

 

"Make a Swiss Army Knife-like weapon." :3

[BetaZerker]

At first I read the name of the thread as "Tenno Mohawk", and I was like "WOW, that would be an EPIC weapon", because just imagine going and headbutting people in the face with a metal mohawk on your head.
