First time submitting anything like this!

Love playing the game and how you guys give us a chance as a community to do things like this.

Faction: Grineer 

Brief Description:

This is the Grineer executioner axe Gorsear. It uses a heavy blade stance like Scindo. Has innate heat and slash as its primary damage, low critical chance, but high status. The unique effect of this blade is that doing a solo heavy attack, it will launch a seeker mine onto the ground that will hunt down hiding enemies on the tile set and latch on with a 3 second timer and detonate for blast and equipped elemental damage.

Grip: Heavy Blade

A Greneer weapons developer was watching security footage of an attack. It would seem that his brothers would explode in a shower of blood and visera with no assailant to be seen. There for nearly a second and gone the next he saw the warframe. In that brief window he caught a glimpse of a weapon that was used as a blade and a gun. Such destructive power with only one weapon. He would make one bigger and better.

Strike fear into your enemies with the Bonkrut, a puncture-based staff. There is an alternative slash-based design for the Bonkrut as well, as seen here:

Due to disagreements between those who I brainstorm concepts with and I, I've decided to scrap my original submission.

Hunt your prey with the Tamabuki, a Tenno throwing weapon based on the Bola, utilizing the Bladewhip stance.

For some background, a Bola is a type of throwing weapon consisting of multiple weights tied together. It typically isn't used to kill; it's used to capture wild animals. However, it has been known that the Mapuche and the Inca Army were known to use the Bola as a type of weapon.

  Reveal hidden contents

The Tamabuki works like this: Using your melee button will cause the player to hit any nearby enemies. Holding melee will cause the player to throw the Tamabuki at a targeted enemy. Incapacitating the enemy, it will allow you and your squad to senselessly beat the life out of them.

EDIT: WIP Design. Please note that the length between the right handle and the left handle is not absolute; it was shortened to keep the concept drawing compact. The ropes themselves are decorated with energy, giving an interesting look to them.

Please bear with me, as the actual design is very work-in-progress, and I wanted to post my general idea first before the finished design. I'll have a more completed design soon.

 

 

I've updated my submission.

Name: Nikana Halberd

Faction: Tenno

Heavyblade Stance, Polearm Grip

A Heavyblade Halberd of the Nikana family, it has an Alt Fire which changes its form, altering its Range and Speed.  The Default, Starting, Shorter Form is the faster form.  It has a Speed of 1.6 and the approximate Range of the Heavyblade "Gram". The Alt Fire Longer Form has a Speed of 0.9 and the approximate Range (or just under) of the Polearm "Orthos Prime".

Okay, before this post is closed I'd better upload my idea...

 

Naga

Faction: Tenno

Holster / Type: Polearm

Inspiration: Chinese Pudao / Personal earlier artwork

Description: The Naga is a nimble, deadly polearm with a unique mechanic, which I'll explain in a second. It is based off of a traditional chinese weapon - the pudao. It features a thin, decorated blade and mutliple forged details. Unfortunately there was no time to color it, so feel free to imagine your own colors.

Mechanic: Naga features a special attack, that makes its wielder an even deadlier opponent. While channling, every enemy hit by the Naga will build up a percentage of its unique buff 'unite'. When fully charged, perform a ground-slam (or charged attack, I'm not sure about that...) to give yourself and allies in range a shield that blocks off damage and gives a defensive stat-increase for a few seconds.

 

Alright, let's see how this works out...

Good luck to everyone, there are some amazing concepts in here! <3

[Neovenetar]

Name: Mutalist Spectra

Faction: Corpus/Infested

Type: Gunblade

Brief Description: A Spectra modified by an Infested organism. Fires a long range proboscis to steal the life force from its targets, forcing the target to bleed after the initial attack. The original beam is now an energy blade, dealing radiation and puncture damage from due to its unstable nature.

Faction/Stance: Tenno Rapier

Name: Surea (Arabic, meaning speed)

 (A very simple concept drawing. An artist I am not.)

"This light sabre is the Tenno of distinction's weapon of choice for inflicting massive lacerations."

There's only one rapier in Warframe right now, and I think that that's an unfortunate state of affairs. Therefore, I am submitting the Surea, a light fencing sabre focused on slash damage and slash procs. The Surea functions similarly to the Destreza, with a greater focus on speed and status as opposed to crit and damage. 

Damage: 50 (47 slash, 3 piercing), Attack Speed 1.1, Critical Chance 5% (x2), Status Chance 20%

Surea also functions differently in regards to the Combo Counter than other weapons. Each increment increases damage by 25%, but also increases Attack Speed and gives additional status chance.

one more day boys and girls XD, so where the winners will be announce, will be nice if the post something for that as the last post.

[Cyaminthe]

Name : Wisoga

Faction: Tenno

Brief description: Instead of operating like a firearm, this gunblade divides its edges to form a crossbow before shooting. Blades deal mainly slash damage, while arrows deal mostly puncture. Instead of scaling the number of rounds depending on the combo, Wisoga shoots a single arrow per shot, which has scaling critical chance and/or damage.

[Negative-Sound]

Faction: Cephalon

Brief Description: A Cephalon designed scythe with high status chance and attack speed. Uses scythe grip/stance.

[(PSN)Typhonite]

Faction: Infested

Name: Morbus (Disease in latin)

Grip: Split-Sword (Dual Bladed Staff/Dual Sword)

Brief Description: Morbus is a infested dual bladed scythe that could be used as a Dual Bladed Staff (like Anku) - or split in a Dual Kama-ish Dual Sword with respective Stance. It's design concept is inspired by the old Ether beauties and the Nidus ability to evolve and be more powerful as it stacks combos.

It deals primarily Slash damage, with a high critical chance, but when it caps 100 kills (or 2.0x, 4.0x combo?) it mutates, growing infected spikes out of it's exo-shell, and dealing Virus procs whenever it lands a critical hit.

Original Artwork:

Third and Final Concept (Blades - mutaded and normal states)

First Concept (Still the way I intended the handle to be, just forget the blade design):

 

Commentary: I intended to do a better concept artwork but unfortunatelly my skills and the college didn't leave me the chance to do something better :[

About the grip type, it would be really nice to see a Split-Sword action actually happening ingame, like pressing R3, or whatever is Alt-Fire in PC, and seeing your Tenno split your weapon in half, or joining it in one.

This is the Asklepios Dagger. It does toxin damage and got the effect, that it heals the user, when it hits targets affected by status. This stacks with the mod healing return. Hope you like the concept

[Alkelon]

Faction: Tenno

This Heavy Blade compensates for its short range with a set of grappling hooks that tear into a target's body or armour to pull them in close enough for a devastating blow. If the first blow is not fatal, the grappling hooks being ripped from the target will often cause a puncture proc. Though the Baku is slow to swing, it often crits due to its sheer weight; the deep cuts are not elegant, but they hit major organs and get the job done.
 
The Baku grapples and rips things in half, my friends.

[(PSN)ABCole]

 

Faction: Infested

Stance: Sword (Dakra)

1st pic gives shape, 2nd is hand guard.

Description: Hand guard has bone-like structure. Under skull is organic mass. From the mouth hangs an umbilical-like appendage that penetrates wrist. Channeling drains health. Above is a cartilage structure like a Mohawk. Razor sharp, but flexible. Channel guarding causes blade to flex as shield, increasing damage resistance. Channeling causes the eyes to open, glows energy color.

Additional Comments: Considered adding horns that cause impact on slam and puncture on return swings. I opted to exclude, believing it to add too many unique perks to a single weapon. If this idea interests you, feel free to incorporate.

[grownpeace]

Well, this kind of got out of controll...

 

The Spear-Ribs

Faction: Infested

Grip-type: Sword & Shield

Description: The spear and shield use a combination of crowd-controlling shield-bashes and fast furrys of spear stabs. The Spear can be thrown (Javlok-Style, new raise Animation requiered), but this limites the user to slow, low damage shield bashes until the spear can be recovered.

End of Submission.

---

Lore: The spear and shield are made from the spine and rib-cage of a fallen infested (maybe Ancient?). In an effort to keep the biomass in service, the remnants of the creature were molded into living weapons. The spear was made form the spine and this allowes it to bend and flex while beeing swung, in order to strike the enemy in the perfect spot. The spear can be stored in the middle of the shield. The shield attaches itself to the user with it's 4 little grabby things on the back.

Personal Notes: I kind of suck at drawing infested, just make it look really disgusting and damaged (Like the spine was ripped out of the creature) and infested, not so skeletal. It would be cool to have something like a shield-charge (Activated by pressing Block + Sprint?), that allowes the user to push enemys out of the way. If the above is too much, just take the spear and make it throwable like the Javlok (And give us a real spear stance, focused on stabing things with the pointy end, not wide swings)
