Good luck being fast enough to parry anything with it.Shield is awful, too bulky, even with least dense wood suitable for shields, that thing would be at least 10kg in mass.No one can defend with it, unless the only idea is to hold it in front and try to cover long range missile attack that come down in an arc.Battleax is OFC a wood felling axe, probably 5 times as massive as a useful battleax would be.This dwarf is basically armed with a good looking shortbow, two tools designed for cleaving already killed animals and firewood. And for added protection he has a cutout of a sturdy oak door.I really hope he took Archery style and that he will go to the back ranks and those melee weapons will kill him sooner then he will kill anyone with them.Didn't anyone from the art department had a hour of HEMA training in their lives?</blockquote>
