WIP Wednesday

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Do not fret friends, we have many more Cuirasses to spoil you with. This week, however, we thought we would share some coming mace designs.

Bauer: a small one-handed war pick/mace hybrid found in German speaking lands as well as in Bohemia.

Pasieka: a cube-headed mace, found all around from Germany, Poland, Bohemia and all the way to Hungary.

Becker: this is more of an war weapon, usually seen on longer shafts. More of an battlefield weapon than civilian self defense.

Gortz: a more compact war pick than Bauer and Laval. Found in manuscripts and paintings from around the German-speaking lands.

Weber: this is a morning star. Against popular belief, it is not a flail. Paired with a studded shaft.

Laval: another war pick/mace with a short pick and seemingly 4 fingers holding small dagger. Do not be fooled, all five fingers are there. More of a west European design.

Bednarz: one of the more common and wildly used mace design. A simple club on a long shaft. Simple, effective, and easy to make.

So tell us, which style are you most excited break some bones with?
