If we're using the FB thread as a guide I think the time's up, especially since om hasn't replied and SG already gave us the go ahead. So, congratulations Shads, you are the winner! I have a soft spot for pencil drawing, I liked the egyptian theme on the second entry, you drew proper warhammers and you went above and beyond with multuiple entries. Having said that, Ameablable and SG didn't make it an easy decision for me as both of theirs were great. And GW is improving.
Thanks, DG!
My artifact will be odlerteth, tunneltangle, an alder bow wielded by a vampire.
He somehow managed to light it on fire without getting lit on fire himself after an encounter with this guy,
so it now burns eternally.
More information about Inid, in case anyone was wondering.
Inid is a dwarf vampire, Legendary in multiple combat skills including two weapon skills, making him both a Hammerlord and Elite Bowdarf. Contrary to popular belief, you can, in fact, get dwarves to properly switch from ranged to melee weapons, it just requires a bit of micromanagement. Whenever he goes into battle, he wields the bow and arrows as his primary weapon, but also holds a masterwork silver warhammer. When his quiver runs out, I get him to drop the bow by unequipping it, cancelling his orders, and then immediately restationing him once he drops it. He then runs into combat and crushes goblin skulls with the masterwork silver warhammer.
The decision to train him in both melee and ranged weaponry happened when the fortress was decimated by a sneaky necromancer attack. He was one of seven surviving dwarves, one of which was insane (humourously, the insane dwarf was also a vampire, so he couldn't die of hunger/thirst). A goblin ambush showed up, and after he shot all his arrows, there was still an uninjured axeman remaining. He proceeded to kill all the goblin's wounded comrades, and then after losing his bow, took on the goblin axeman with no weapons except his hands and feet. They fought for three months straight, both unable to penetrate the other's armor, until the goblin finally fled, and I decided that the fortress's lone champion should probably have a backup plan in case he ran out of arrows again.
