zweihanders are bigger than claymores
kinda requires a horse tho lol
It's just a reference to the handle, tbh. The guard is much too wide on most medieval weaponry
Well yeah but then you need a horse too lol
thats the point
the only thing that can pierce armour
tercios where a military unit basically a regiment made up of companies with different weapons
is a horse
for the most part
halberd/warhammer can
assuming were sticking to melee
i mean really arrows+wall+siege+madstrats > everything
a small point can break
but if you want to pierce their heart
lances all the way
or couched pike
either way
There's no reason I can't stud my guard. I've already got a design for what I'll use
the horse does the work
and
but is welded shut
Halberds were the most popular weapons in the late medieval ages, after plate armor became popular. For two reasons - first off they were two-handed weapons, and as you already wore plate you wouldn't need a shield and therefor could use a halberd without much penalty. And second, they were super good against plate armor and on top of that were just really versatile and powerful weapons.
?
I have a shape I'll use, for the guard, which will be much smaller, but more pick-like than what any previous sword used
surely it cant be anywhere as weak as unwelded rings
ah thats like the midpoint, its somewhere in the middle
its not authentic, but it is better than the pressed chainmail
iirc it is still weaker than rivitted tho
But I gotta go to fucking sleep it's 2 AM here and I need to wake up in 4 and a half hours. Who knew I'd find people talking about medieval weaponry and warfare in here <:tiptip:462282246695419934>
man
SIGMAR!
these guys are selling this shit cheap af
But part of this is that I'm very good at making edges, I don't think my blade will have any issue piercing with the tip
Have a good night everyone
catcha later
Later euro
prolly weak af
