A short-hafted hammer with a flat striking face on one end and a sharp spike on the other, the warhammer is the armor-breaker’s choice. The hammer face crushes ribs and shoulders through plate and mail; the spike seeks the gaps—slit of the visor, inner edge of the pauldron, seam at the throat. Wielded one-handed by armored knights and cavalry, it is as much tool as weapon.
