The only artifact weapon I've gotten lately is Nunok Othos - The Numbers of Wilting.

Hmm... I don't have the save file, so I can't remember the specifics, but I once had a black bronze shortsword that was encircled with bands of regular bronze, studded with rubies and menacing with spikes of turtle shell.

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.  :-\
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)
hehe :D  I had to look up Bryntoll (friends don't let friends play WoW, after all ;)).  Interesting look, and I can see why you'd picture bone axes that way.

Well, it looks downright elven (the bone texture isn't the greatest from far away, and looks wooden), but I'm satisfied for half an hour screwing around. I was originally trying to figure out how to make a spear entirely of bone with some interlocking femur thing, but I scrapped it and went with a simple cylinder. A unicorn vertebral column would work... hmm.

The textures are kind of bland, so if you can find an artifact with lots of designs and such, I could do that.

Interesting design.  Change the base color to an off-white/eggshell/tooth color and it should look better.  If you want to get tricky, go for a pearlescent/opalescent white instead. :)

Alright, just finished that. The spirals have at least 200k polygons, and adding that to the raytraced gems, it takes a while to render. Gems look weird because Blender is stretching the image and I don't feel like fixing it. I should probably sharpen the horn...

A brass shortsword with rings of adamantite, and encrusted with black pyropes.

I believe it was called something like "The scornful ash" Or scornful brim.

Give cats natural metallic armor and throw them in your danger room.  Also allow their mouth and tail to grasp (shield in mouth, weapon in tail xD)  Have a cat based military.  You know, do the same with all tame animals xD send in the cats as shock troops to disrupt the archers

Nifty spear.
The spirals at the base of the spear's handle look like unicorn horn to me. The threading on the point seems too small.
Also, the spear's handle/body seems to be too big in diameter, looking a bit like a pencil.

The horn spear looks a bit funny, with more focus on the handle than the actual nasty spike on the end. possibly reduce the handle diameter and increase the size of the horse (and add bigger threading?)

Otherwise your rendering skills are quite good.

Look at what a totally original signature this is.

Well... I seem to have lost the file. So that's all for now, but if I find it I'll fix it.

This has got to be the coolest artifact weapon I've gotten yet. I checked the dwarfs room who made it and it turns out he is sleeping on the bed he made an image of.

Otikdesor (Sheenentrances) a green glass battle axe

This is a green glass battle axe. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. It is encrusted with brown zircon and obsidian, decorated with giant cave spider silk, and encircled with bands of brown zircon. This object is adorned with hanging rings of clear glass and menaces with spikes of sterling silver.

On the item is an image of mussels in green glass.

On the item is an image of Ast Shieldhooves the dwarf and dwarves in green glass. Ast Shieldhooves is surrounded by the dwarves. The artwork relates to the ascension of the dwarf Ast Shieldhooves to the position of queen of the Gear of Strangers in 452.

On the item is an image of Zefon Claspwatched the dwarf and a willow bed in platinum. Zefon Claspwatched is raising the willow bed. The artwork relates to the masterful willow bed created by Zefon Claspwatched for the Angry Mushrooms at Mushroomheaven in the midspring of 508.

On the item is an image of blazing suns in turtle shell.

One of the dwarfs walked in front of Thor to get a better view of the prye, and Thor kicked him irritably into the middle of the flames, which made Thor feel slightly better and made all the dwarfs feel much worse.

:D spirals take loads of polygons.

And Halnoth, that is awesome.

Hm. I dunno if this is sufficient, but I'll post it.

The dwarf fleeing is from a previous fort. She seems to be unremarkable, so what she was before probably doesn't matter.
The fort in question basically fell to goblins, but I weathered the siege before bailing out.
