I have to admit, beyond my bullwhip and my sling, K'Jev tends to avoid weapons that bend, simply because I hit myself too often. But that is one cool basher!

And that is a superb example. Why haven't you blacked the chain as well though ? would just look much better. And I like the way on the first vhs tape you very nearly punctured your fundament For practical usage the spikes are probably a bit too long and would be likely to get stuck in things.

timpa Interfector Viris Spurii Offline Stones in the horizon Posts: 1515 Finland	Re: Morningstar Reply #7 - Nov 21^st, 2012 at 6:28pm thanks I considered a long time, I'm doing a black or shiny chain. I chose a shiny, because I found it a garage. (Morningstar price was EUR 0) I have not hit myself. Think about exchange through blunt spikes, and hit the stone (sparks).

Do more, but more in medieval style.

See I might go the opposite direction. That chain is still long enough it would make me nervous to swing it around me. I'd want the chain to be slightly shorter and keep the handle the same length. But for me it's because, in my mind, if I was using such a weapon I'd be in a situation where recovery and striking again is more important than reach.
