GW2 Best Looking Weapon Skin

Hello everyone,
This morning I hit 5000 killing blows with an axe, and I've decided that it's time for a new weapon choice. I'm not worried about which weapon it is because I'm confident that all weapons can be used with equal effectiveness, you only need employ different strategies. The problem is, I've been using axes almost the entire story, and I have no idea what any of the good weapon skins are. I am a warrior, but feel free to post caster skins as well!
My request is this: take a screenshot of your favorite weapons skin (or top 2, 3, 4, etc) and post it in here, then give your opinion on some of the other posts.

Thank you for your help in advance !
 
greatswords have some of the best skins and they work awesome on warriors too.
 
Ignoring Legendaries of course,
For axe I am looking at getting this one: (the link has a view in 3d option)

These require 80 and a lot of karma but I am a fan of some of the peacemaker's equipment:

If you're looking for something real cheap to level grab a Glyphic Edge sword skin, you can get one for about 1s. I used a sword to level for quite a while before I switched to MH axe.

I do like those peacemaker's weapons. I have 15 jugs of karma saved, so that shouldn't be an issue. I'm currently using a dual set of these: Flame Cleaver transmuted over an exotic with Rage/Strength runes. Are those peacemakers from LA vendors?
 
No, they're T3 Asura cultural weapons. They're roughly by the portal to Rata Sum from LA. Minimap location is in the screens. 63k karma for each. I would get the bow but I'm thinking of eventually getting a legendary in a year or two so I don't want to burn so much karma on something I only use in WvW/DEs. I don't care a whole lot for the Peacemaker's Axe though.

Also if you ever think of using a hammer do be aware that there are ANCHOR models.
 
I'm norn, so Asuran culturals are out of the question. The anchor hammer looks sweet. Norn weapons are not bad, but it's pretty much just the norn greatswords that look really good.
 
I just bought black, gold, midnight gold, and silver dyes... Wonder how good some of the ebon vanguard weapons would look?
 
Weapon Selected, it cost me a little over 5 gold.. 2.5 for berserker's pearl GS, 2.5 for Khrysaor GS, and 30s for a Sigil of rage, and the cost of 1 transmutation stone.

I've been through quite a few items in my trading. Here's some of the ones too cool to sell.

The Azure railgun rifle. Glow-y!

These items are saved for my Mesmer when he hits L80, hence the preview.

Crystal Sword, an old GW1 favourite

Coldsnap. An icy scepter bigger than you are. Has frost effects.

Bloodseeker - a pulsating red gem focus that shines through your clothes and character model.

What do you guys think of this one: Khrysaor, the Golden Sword

That's the one I just picked out for my guardian last week, and I was about to recommend it. It's simple and elegant, and the skin goes well with either the gladius (Honor of Humanity) or fiery gladius (Firebringer) sword skins. And it has the added benefit of looking exactly like Dawn, but also being 340 gold cheaper.
 
Dire, what weapon type is bloodseeker? is that a "mace" or a dagger?
 
Hurrdurr, yeah. Shows my mesmer knowledge.. Lame it's a focus though. :(
 
I crafted up my Mesmer to 80 today. Here's some pics that do those skins justice. Also modelling Mad King armour set that I just bought.

Coldsnap has a subtle frost cloud around it. This Blaze of the Serpents torch looks like the HoM one. I'm not amazed by it.

Bloodseeker drips tiny rivlets of blood that dissolve into the red mist below the focus

Emberglow has a shiny firey ember effect, but no actual flames.
