Been a long time lurking, decided to join to making tracking/watching mods, and indie games far easier on myself.
I was heavily inspired to rework (and get back to work) by the guys over at Age of Chivalry, they recently released the weapons list/or rather, some of the weapons they've been working on.
However this is still a WIP, I'm playing around with the specular and hue of the base diffuse itself, to get that -just- right look.
This is my display-piece to show off the difference between the two weapons I've designed.
I recommend anyone looking at modeling Dark-Age styled weapons, to take a look over at their work.

(Please note; I do not work for, nor am I endorsed by the guys over at Team Chivalry, I'm simply referencing them as an inspiration of mine, and will at request remove this.)
