Description
A mid-sized combat hammer, usable with either one or two hands. It comprised of a shaft that is topped with a hammer head with a rear spike.
The warhammer was generally used against armored targets, with the blunt end dealing concussive damage while the spiked end was used for armor-piercing strikes or exploiting armor gaps.
Not to be confused with
- warhammer_(franchise)
- maul - Often mislabeled as a warhammer, mauls rely on its heavy weight to deal damage and is blunt on both ends.
- pick_(weapon) - Similar in appearance though the key difference here is it only has the spike and no hammer head.
