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
@Kealor what is chainmail if it isnt riveted
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!
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
#finexit
ah i forgot the name btw, but that "normal" chainmail where the metal is just pressed is called "butted-chainmail"
but A E S T H E T I C
no padding underneath
wouldn't stop shit from splitting your skull
you can literally
i dont think they are too worried about the mannequin tho
wear padding underneath
wont stop you lol
Don't get hit. Even with armor, a hammer is all they need to fuck you
theyre selling chainmail not coifs
Don't get hit. In and out
well there are reasons as to why there werent many agi-specced fighters in medieval warfare lol
... hammer greatsword. Ima make a guard out of a hammer
