"It wasn't the reward that mattered or the recognition you might harvest. It was your depth of commitment, your quality of service, the product of your devotion -- these were the things that counted in a life. When you gave purely, the honor came in the giving, and that was honor enough."

Some new toys
« on: 2012-01-01, 23:27:31 »
Here's my axe and my mace, my latest additions to Sir Nathan's collection of dangerous things!

They are becoming fast favorites of mine. That axe is truly fun to use. The mace feels terrifyingly powerful. Know I know why all the LOTR movie villians use those for their intimidating sequences!  ;)

Thanks.

and that, good Sir Wolf, is what I called a budget poleax 5 years ago.  ;D

(The axehead has since been relocated to a much more fitting position  ;) )

Thank you Sir Gerard.

Ian, yes, exactly what it was!  ;D
I've also added a Halberd to cover the position of terrifying polearm, since the budget poleax has been dismantled for parts and dignity salvaging  ;)

Thanks Sir William! And you should, we want pics after all!     ;)

Sir Ulrich, I would highly reccomend one. Good for torquing upon the heavily armoured  :)
