Where the Goedendag? Not only is it a large club with a spike for good measure, but it has a Dutch name that means “good day”, or “hello”.
I had never heard of this, that is certainly my new favourite
That flail is certainly the worst of the lot. Terrible impractical weapon with scant evidence of it ever being used by anyone.
There’s a two-handed version of the flail that is basically an agricultural threshing tool with spikes stuck into the head, which is much more plausible as a peasant’s weapon (very similar development process as the nunchaku, also a highly overrated weapon). However most weapons that feature a flexible rope/chain part in their design all suffer from the same drawbacks: difficult to control, and limited striking power.
Love a good flanged mace.
That’s one that works against everything.
Morningstar.
I’m partial to a regular old mace
Nice and simple, very swingy
Love the brutal simplicity of the cudgel
Quarterstaff, I like plausible deniability.
This post is just making me nostalgic for Diablo 2, but also Bec de Corbin because it’s unique
