I am glad to see some impact weapons covered here. Great job, guys!

I'll echo the above comments, and add that I agree completely with Russ' review of the axe. I have one of those and it's a nasty beast.

More temptations ............. Oh NO Eek!

Good to read something about this class of weapons. I wonder how these impact weapons compare to the longer ones like the hammer side of a Pollaxe ?

All interesting pieces but I do tend to be attracted to the A & A ones just because of quality issues, but then they are a bit more costly but still affordable.

Apart from the option of getting them all I'm still not sure which one would go to the top of the list ? The spiked ball one they make has that look that is classic and shows up even in old Bugs Bunny cartoons. Razz

Sort of a childhood favourite. Big Grin

Their Iberian mace does have a certain appeal due to simplicity and would be good for earlier periods ........
Hmmmmmmm....... Not expensive at all. Wink

( Edited at 4:58 local time: Just sent an E-Mail to Craig at A & A to order the Iberian mace, 99 % official now / 100% official when he replies and confirms availability and if he can ship it with a previous order. " You guys are KILLING ME " Razz

haha, that is classic, Jean. I agree, myArmoury reviews are killer. I don't have the cash to act on my whims, but everytime I look at any A&A or Albion review I am instantly attracted to whatever the weapon is. For instance, looking at the Albion site I had no interest in the Castellan, but this morning I re-read the review and, of course, started drooling, and scheming new ways to make money (and I think I actually have a good idea too!). As of today, I am craving a mace too...thanks guys Confused

When you're broke and you know it the reviews are not so bad! WTF?!

I would like to compliment Nathan on the wallpaper. The wallpapers he has been creating are beautiful pieces of artwork. The war hammer is now on my desktop. (I need to learn how to make the pictures change every few seconds.) Cool

My teenager is about to walk through the door and I know he will roll his eyes and say "Another one?!"

And I like the pun in the file name on this one. Big Grin

Very nice job Nathan! And thank you again for all of your hard work on this site. The articles, reviews and other features that come out every other week on schedule are amazing. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I would concur with everyone else, it was good see some other type of weapons. It was a bonus to see the A & A Warhammer review. I've been debating on getting one, I'm convinced now Happy

I also agree upon the former posts...

I only wished to ad, that it again strikes me how, good pictures, do make a difference...
I mean, looking upon the site of Museum Replicas and even when viewing their bigger picture there, I would never have appreciated the look of there mace as much as I do now after seeing the pictures here on myArmoury...

Good work!!

My photography services are available to any makers wishing to take advantage of them. I have many levels of quality I can produce including a professional setup in my studio and even going so far as to place them in a light tent. Much of this work could be done in a barter arrangement, offering a better bang for the buck, as it were.

There are times when ya just have to say, "to heck with it" and go with the heavy blunt object. While I am a sword enthusiast, I've also been fascinated by the sheer menace of maces and hammers. An advantage I've noticed is that you can hit from more than a single angle (as you would have to in a bladed weapon), and still manage to do damage.

I particularly liked the German Mace. If I did not have a new Albion, and some scabbard making supplies to pay for this month, I would probably buy it now. I have book marked it.
