2nded, Cacame wouldn't be wielding some low quality poverty-hammer. Give him the real shit! http://images.wikia.com/pjdf/images/2/2f/Warhammer_render.jpg This looks more like what Cacame would use, although sadly, I'm pretty sure the lore only allows him one of them...

I really don't find unrealistic weapons like that cool at all. Real weapons aren't made to look good - they're made for killing (and/or injuring), and I find no-nonsense realism to be much more "dwarfish" than unrealistic, over-the-top design.

Other than that it looks pretty sweet, maybe a bit more cheekbones to make him look more manly? As he was;
a pretty Dwarfy elf

I did try giving him defined cheekbones, but it looked more like a weird scar. Plus, I'm trying to actively avoid making him look "manly" - people can be badass without being ultra-masculine, and I imagine Cacame as the embodiment of male-yet-feminine badassery.

Drawing Cacame ? Well, you must draw him in Frank Frazetta style, of course !

*Googles*

Eh, I'm not really into overmuscled nigh-naked men.  :P

Anyway, the hammer is too small.
I doubt that this little hammer would allow him to do things like this:

I don't see how an anvil on a stick would make such feats any easier - if anything it'd be harder, because the increased weight of the weapon would make swings very slow and hard to aim.

Well a blunt weapon with a large contact area like a anvil on a stick doing ths would be more realistic than a small warhammer.
The warhammer would probably plow right through the targets torso and come out on the other side without propeling him much (altho it'd probably destroy half of his internal organs and spine).

It's all about mass. The Swing will only be negligibly slower if he's fighting gravity; most hammer blows are either sideways (full body rotation) or down (dropping the hammer) so a heavier hammer won't really affect that. It will be very hard to aim, however.
Still, a bigger hammer = more inertia = more force. Size isn't really an issue, but unless we're making a hammer out of super-dense materials, if we want to hit someone so hard they go flying, bigger is better.

I always imagined Cacame swinging the hugeass maul like it's made of paper, anyway.

You are confusing a maul with a war-hammer.  His depiction of Cacame with a war-hammer is definitely the better way to go with it unless Cacame used a maul in combat.

Don't force me to bring magma.
We all know that Cacame didn't bring a f*cking potato masher into battle. But you do as you please, I'm pretty sure it will be sweet anyway! :)

Necromancer: (gestures) Raaaaiise!
Me: Oi!!! (bashes out necromancer's teeth with a warhammer) Now pick those up and go suck on them, ya necrophiliac sod!
Necromancer: (holding his mouth with one hand, gestures to own teeth and scampers away followed by jumping teeth)

Well, since the topic is already undead, I might as well post on it... ;)

If anyone's interested, I've finished updating the Wiki page. There are a couple of issues, though:

-Warhammer: due to the being made of mithril, I expect it to have been created during a mood, and to have a name. Does it have one, or should we make one up?
* a mithril hammer would be too light to normally be made;
* although it's called a warhammer, it's usually depicted as a maul; if anything, the iron band around its head could give it enough weight to work;
*the spear head on the top, being mithril, would be nigh-unbreakable and would add slashing damage to every blow
 +optionally, if keeping enough range, it could also be used as a sword;
* the pole appears to be telescopic - it changes its length, up to Cacame's own height in the Colossus;
 +if so, the spear head on its end makes even more sense.
All this could actually explain why he were only a competent hammerer when he fought the dragon: he'd often resort to slashing or stabbing his opponents, gaining other skills instead...

-Since the pics posted by Holy Mittens were missing, I couldn't read the info directly. What was his mother's surname, maternal great grandfather's name, King Nithe's surname (and dub), and the predecessor dwarven king's name?

Wearing flaming clothes on the other hand, or better yet, wearing nothing at all and being on fire... that is the essence of dwarfish behavior."

This thread died in 2010, my friend.

But every few months, someone new to the forums discovers it, either by forum delving or via the wiki, and posts without looking at the dates...

And usually, asks whether it died.
