for a fun time, don’t think about anguirel speaking with eol’s voice

Anguirel Design V2– RivkaZ 2016

Re-uploading this because the in the original I had a silly flange on the end of the blade that I have since removed. I also called it a ‘bastard sword’/’hand-and-a-half sword’, instead of a great sword, which is more accurate. (I confused the technique ‘half-handing’ with the hand-and-a-half sword type. Whoop!)

More Gondolin reference stuff.

I needed to make a sword that matched with my Eöl’s Gothic sensibilities, was mean and lean enough to be the twin of Anglachel/Gurthang, AND looked like it was inspired by dwarven craftsmanship.

I chose a great sword for the design after seeing some truly elegant videos of longsword techniques in use. It’s appealing to me to think of Maeglin using a big mofo of a sword with surgical finesse.
