Not that any of you insensitive villeins ASKED, but it's the goedendag for me

I got mine at a Viking festival, and it was made by a guy who was on Forged in Fire. We bring it out at parties and smash blocks of ice and everyone has a great time. It also works marvelously on coconuts, but it turns out that coconut does not compost very quickly when spread out all over the backyard.

Flanged mace all the way. The armor penetration of a blunt weapon combined with really nasty serrated/rusted edges. Your weapon doesn't really degrade with use, unlike bladed weapons getting dull or rolled edges.

This chart is missing the "goedendag" though. A critical oversight ;)

I always liked the quarterstaff. Something about it being just a long stick is appealing to me. I guess I just have that dog in me lol

Flail. Just absolutely badass.

I like Bec de Corbin. So versatile. And the beak end is so stylish.

@PugJesus@piefed.social My favorite medieval weapon is none of these. It is the grand old fire, fire beats all of 'em. Plus, I see a potential for cudgel to become a fire torch.

I was always a fan of flails, meteor hammers, slungshots, kusari-fundo.. all the other variations of it

Something about a rock on a rope feels cool :3 it's like a mix of simple but allowing for flashy tricks

You know I always say "flanged mace" but what do I end up using 99% of the time? Cudgel ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Don't get me wrong, love a flail

But why does the meteor hammer never get love

People underestimate the spiked club. Sure, it's not fancy, it doesn't have great reach, some might even say it's more primitive, but you can pump out a ton of them fairly cheaply and it's about as intuitive as a spear.

One spiked club might not be scary, but what about a thousand?

I've always been a fan of the Kanabo.

Cain knew.

Good old rock, nothing beats that!

But they are all so pretty!

Except the flail. might as well kill yourself in a less painfull way.

If i had to pick i it would be the flanged mace for everyday slaying, and the Rabenschnabel (bec de corbin) for fancy dress days.

Ogryn approves

Ahh, the Braveheart armory 👌

I think every one of those gets used in the movie. I know for sure he pops a helmeted skull like an egg with the ravens beak 🤪

or use catapults, archers, ballista, crossbowers at a range to deal with these melee weapons.

I do like how the bec de corbin gives you plenty of options, depending on the situation/how you’re feeling

Boulder go bonk on enemy head.

Morningstar or flailed mace

Given only three of those are blunt and one is a rock have you ever considered they stopped asking because you are stupid?

If you shove the bec de corbin 🗡️ into the huge 🪨, you'll have some props for the retelling of king Arthur's childhood hero arc.

Flanged mace. Always the key to me having a good time and fascists having a less than ideal last meal.

You like XYZ but have it coined a word for brutally beat someone? I think not.
