blazingcobalt Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 (edited) Blind Justice, eh? It's great stance, and I love it. However... why a Nikana stance? The Stalker didn't have his own Nikana, until now. -Anguish- The Anguish is forged from ancient Tenno crimes. This blade is wielded by the Stalker and his fury. -Artwork 1.0- -Information- Anguish is an upgradeable path for the Nikana. If you chose this path the sword will get a higher critical chance rate. When drawn, the blade seems calm and collected. Once sheathed, the sheath itself begins to glow and smoke ominously as if it's keeping it's wrath trapped inside. -How to Obtain- To obtain this, one simply needs to obtain the blade of Hate, his scythe. Then you can begin the reforging process. *Suggested by Xeo_Nespydonum as not to clutter his current drop table. -3D Modeling- CBM.VFX made this awesome 3D model of the Anguish! https://forums.warframe.com/index.php?/topic/322728-anguish-stalkers-nikana-updated-concept-art/page-2#entry3668140 --- //Comments --- I just wanted to make a Nikana for the Stalker since he's all alone with some dingy scythe. :c Also you can view the process video if you'd like. It's how I make all my concepts. Edited October 16, 2014 by blazingcobalt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PSN)NearlyDedicated Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 I think this should go to an enemy sub-faction; the Stalker's scythe kinda keeps him unique, whereas the Nikana is (more) strictly a Tenno weapon. We don't know officially if the Stalker is/was Tenno, so it'd be odd to see him using a Tenno weapon. Perhaps a sub-faction of ex-Tenno operatives, much like an antagonist red-veil, would be able to use this? Cool concept, I like the idea behind it.

I can see what you're saying. He's just so mysterious, and deadly. However, I'm gonna assume that he's Tenno because he has that plethora of powers from other Tenno that he uses. (Absorb, Slash Dash, Pull, etc) An ex-Tenno faction would be seriously cool though. I'd have so much fun drawing things up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's hoping the idea fills its potential...I'd love to see what artists like yourself come up with :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Stalker's Codex does say he used to be part of the Orokin Empire back in their prime, and we can assume most Tenno weapons are variants of Orokin weapons, making it not so unbelievable that the Stalker wouldn't have his own variants as well.

Xeo_Nespydonum Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 In the recent Devstream, they mentioned perhaps needing to have a certain sigil on to get a blueprint for special gear to drop from Stalker. A nikana forged from Hate's blade sounds perfectly fine to me! (just don't clutter his drop table more please keep it with the sigil stuff) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blazingcobalt Posted October 11, 2014 Author Share Posted October 11, 2014 Alright, so I cleaned up the concept a bit more. I made it less sharp and made it more curvy. I also added what Xeo suggested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The-Storm Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 I asked the same question when I saw the Stalker drops Blind Justice, I really like this concept, although personally I don't really like the thickness of the blade while sheathed, I think it should be thinner, but that's just my opinion.

UnskilledNinja Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Yes! My Vote Is Yes! ... I do love the extra idea of forging the Dragon Nikana and the Hate. Since both of these weapons require work and a sacrafice to forge this beast of a weapon it will be coveted that much more. This is a beautiful design by the way, one of the best I have seen in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may not have noticed, but bows, throwing stars and scythes are also weapons currently only used by Tenno. As for Anguish: It's cool enough. I think Stalker should keep using the Hate, though.

StylishKill Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Nice i like this one. But i was also thinking about something. I kinda like the fast paced melee combat with combos dealing enourmos masses of cuts and slashes in a split second. So i would like to have something like the nikana as a double sword. Means a Katana in each hand. Maybe making it a bit shorter or something.Well dont tell me something about we have allready the Dual Skana, cuz i think they suck pretty hard and arent approprieated for the hard to kill enemies anymore. Besides i dont like theire design. One short and one long one. I would like to have to two katanas with the same size. And also carring them on the same side but not on the back, or double sited.What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motorfirebox Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 I really like this. For lore, how about this: Stalker had a nikana originally, but when he became the Stalker, he reforged his nikana into Hate. If you get Hate, you can reforge it back into a nikana.

Xardis Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 +1 But i think nikans are a bit longer. Add 1/3 of blade lengh and it would be cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rezuga Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 (edited) I could see this weapon being implemented.As another has said, could make it an alternative upgrade from the Nikana. I suppose if it were to be a BP dropped by the stalker they could make a second version where he spawns in with Anguish instead of Hate.
