No, I didn't have enough uranium to deplete it. That was regular uranium I modded to get from pitchblende, but I actually bought the bars the dwarf used for that thing from the dwarven caravan, I think.

It weighed 764r. The second-heaviest undecorated warhammers I could find in that fort were copper hammers, at 357r.

Unfortunately I think weight didn't affect blunt damage in 40d.

damn. sucks to be you. at least they got radiation poisoning. as did whoever held it at the time.

Ooh, ooh! Speaking of lobsters:

I had eighty artifacts in my old forty-year 40d fort. My first one was my favorite one.

Bobetzedot, "Triflelobsters," a Uranium war hammer

This is a Uranium war hammer. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. It is studded with Uranium and encircled with bands of horse bone. This object menaces with spikes of Uranium.

It was covered with blood from every race, plus horse blood, water, and [REDACTED] goo. The wielder used it to kill a dozen !!HFS!! (plus the ringleader) in melee combat. The lack of clothes might have helped avoid catching on fire.

I'll keep this one in mind but I'm thinking it won't look too exciting. Apparently uranium has a fairly dull, somewhat lead-like appearance. It's not really visually distinguishable from some other metals. That wouldn't be so bad in and of itself but being a decoration also...I don't know. I'll have to think on this one.

We all know the solution don't we? It's radioactive, make it glow green!

Dog bone battleaxe-All Craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality

Please tell me I wasn't the only one that pictured an axe in the shape of a four foot long Milk-bone biscuit.

These are the textures I like for metals. From top right, clockwise: silver, copper, adamantine, gold, bronze.

After looking at that, I probably should've made a blue version of silver instead of bronze. the way the light reflects off silver looks more fitting for adamantine.

Fine, how 'bout one of my other two artifact weapons?

Rhubarb was a "junk" product of certain reactions. It was too cheap and too heavy to trade and couldn't be used to make anything. Except artifacts, I guess. Don't ask about the name. The name is not important and was a placeholder until I could think of something better. Also it was bright magentapink.

The third and final artifact weapon was like this one but it was a war hammer and had less interesting decorations.

Please tell me I wasn't the only one that pictured an axe in the shape of a four foot long Milk-bone biscuit. 

Noooo! I can't get that image out of my head now! (I originally thought of all bone axes as along the lines of bryntoll, just in different sizes)

I'd say a blue version of either copper or gold instead of silver.  Regardless, these look nice.

Okay, I'm going to start off with Clenchbraided and go from there. Incidentally while searching for a good diorite texture I found my way back here. http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=44702.0

Rendering tacticcloisters now, will update post.

It's kind of boring. I think I'll try my hand at that unicorn bone spear.

Come to think of it, that hammer wouldn't even be masterwork. Not much detail in the description, though...

[GuudeSpelur]

I have an artifact steel short sword that is encircled with bands of steel and menaces with spikes of obsidian in one fort. I also have an artifact iron short sword with an image of itself on it in iron in another.

My bad.  The iron shortsword ("Chewsways") is different than I thought it was.  It is adorned with hanging rings of iron and has an image of itself on it in ruby.

[Lemunde]

Well it needs some tweaking. I'm not completely satisfied with the texture yet and the gems aren't reflecting the way I want them to. But here's what I got so far:

Clenchbraided, the Adamantine Shortsword
