They can still be used for either but each has its' strong point
Good work !!!
The one in her right hand is a little more generic, almost a falchion but smaller, sort of like a heavy machete being broader at the forward section then tapering to the tip, again a very common shape for slashing weapons but still able to get the point across ;)
Can't get rid of the feeling I've seen that exact shape before but I forget where.
A stone axe will kill you just as dead as a thermobaric weapon, just not as many as quickly.
From the first fist onward, it's all about increasing efficiency and all the different shaped blades and other weapons were suited for something specific and were seen to be the best available at the time for it, hence the huge variety.
Really good work on her facial expressions these past few pages, especially the fifth panel on this one.
You can tell she's enjoying this, either proving what she can do, getting a little payback, or both...presumably both.
Getting too cocky might end up with her feeling cocky too ;)
and never the stuff you want to know, I can give you some good links to sites dealing with edged or other pre-gunpowder weapons.
Some have a lot of images for reference, like https://myarmoury.com/features.html
You might get a 'warning' on that one but it looks like they didn't change their clock so it doesn't match with the computer's internal one and firefox panics :)
Odd thing I just realized, well odd to me anyway, there's only Jeb's spear I see and other than magic just Grizlak's throwing axes and daggers for ranged weapons.
I'd think halberds or other polearms would be a primary weapon for most fighter types with swords axes or hammers for backup and Rasmiel could be pretty dangerous with a bow from above.
Of course with the magics available they might be depending on that for range but eventually they're going to find a magic-proof monster...they won't want to get too close to ;)
