Indeed... as a pole weapon is usually only fix on one end and the other end can absorb the force of a kstrike by simply moving, I think the only way to surly cut/break it is a straight strike from above blocked by the pole held up with both hands at either side of the contract point...
Since you have been documenting your approach to 5000, I thought you would appreciate it.
What is with this anti-NIGHTBRINGER campaign of yours?
Hero is a point of view. A villain to one group is a hero to another.
LOLOK, but that doesn't stop you proving yourself to me
Winning is winning. The brave are always the first to die.
I agree with @Canas . Cutting through the shaft of a proper spear is not nearly as easy as it is made out in movies/tv.
It has been night long enough, we should bring the day, an advent of a glorious new era
See, even you agree with me on this
Balance. Light needs dark and dark needs light.It has been night long enough, we should bring the day, an advent of a glorious new era
Balance is overrated
Have you ever attempted cutting through a spear haft with a sword? You have to hit it straight on, and with the correct portion of your blade. Not to mention the type of woodSince when was a Sith Lord a hero? (Apart from Darth Vader when he sacrificed himself to kill Palpatine and ended the Sith forever)
OK, but that doesn't stop you proving yourself to me
Hooray Thor again!
It isn't impractical to Thor though as he only needs part of his strength to lift it. If he needed all his strength just to lift the thing he wouldn't be able to do much else with it.
Coward! Fight like a man!
That's better, a noble weapon of a bygone age, but here's a better one:
Unless one of the swordsmen cuts off the spear tip. Then the spearman is in trouble unless he uses the haft like a quarterstaff
Agreed here. The English crushed the Scots at Flodden as they used billhooks that were more wieldy than the pikes the Scots used, as well as having better training.
Hey, I'm here for tomb kings. Same army, different game system imo
I do, but I use the army to play kings of war, as no one in my area will go back and touch 8th ed
They are certainly usable and very fun to paint. I still have some to work on. My problem is that no one makes a decent skeleton model with no clothes anymore. All of them have some form of deteriorated clothing which makes them much more complicated to paint rather than just Bay skeletons with maybe a little bit of armor and their weapons and shield
Yup. Don't get me wrong it depends on the wood too. If you make a spear haft out of wood grown for lumber, it's going to be less dense and easier cut then natural forest wood (16-18 growth rings as opposed to 65)

It lead to some stellar commentaries by this guy with a salad for a name.
