[CaptainToenail]

Classy wands.

[Gothic]

those weapons looks freaking awesome

[ShadesMaster]

I'm loking the wands, yes, and the powered staff altfire is necessary for Hpack's completion!!!!

[Enjay]

The wands look nice but the bit that you can see of the shaft of the obsidian wand has all its lines parallel and vertical. This gives it s funny perspective like the wand is being held upright rather than pointed towards a target. The gem, on the other hand, does have a bit of perspective to it and so the shaft and the gem give conflicting messages to the observer.

Dayum whats up with this wave of awesome crossbow sprites?

[Springy]

@OSJC That's a pretty neat take on the Strife crossbow never even thought about how good it would look for Heretic. Those wand sprites are looking great as well (I especially love the obsidian version), keep up the good work.

[osjclatchford]

Many thanks for the praise, glad they are being enjoyed hope to see them in peoples mods soon.
Now seriously guys feel free to rip, hack, mix and recolour these with other sprites to death!
heretic and hexen needs new sexie weapons badly!

Forgive my ego but I'm actually so pleased with the look of the Iron-xbow I've made this version:

for use as "the ultimate Ethereal xbow" in my heXen mod!

I feel this xbow better matches heXen's grim and dark style more...

[osjclatchford]

just made these new flashes for the ravenstaff:it looks best in game with an A_setblend flash too!

[osjclatchford]

behold:

the ultimate Hellstaff!

or better still download my heretic mod in the projects section and try it out in-game!
It fires four slightly smaller hellstaff balls (two akimbo, at the same damage as normal) and powered it fires two fire streaks that rip enemies and then explode on wall-contact! (rather like the minotaur fire!)

enjoy and please feel free to use/modify!

[osjclatchford]

another one:

DRAGONSTAFF!

essentially a grenadelauncher that fires exploding claw orbs!

new 'powered' frames for the ultimate Ethereal crossbow!

[Springy]

:O That Hell Staff is the NUTS.wad! I love the aged look about it and your take on converting the dragon claw to a staff version looks really good as well.

[ETTiNGRiNDER]

I've long wished for a medieval-ized version of the Strife crossbow, but all my attempts at doing one were rubbish, so I'm particularly glad to see this. Would be nice if it had the cool reload animation too, but maybe that's too much to ask.
