Sexy alright…..But, when I first looked at this, I thought…Stevie Nicks, Jewel, and Sir Lance-a-lot …How odd is that!!
Snoops
Wish she was unchained …
Ye Olde Devil
What kind of sword is that? The handle part looks much too long for it to be a claymore (or to be practical, really).
Sparkmeister
Really HAWT! Anyone that gives it a thumbs down is a FAG!
biffthestiff
Ye Old Devil–WTF???
Bronwen
Double handed bastard sword.
And it’s a good thing she appears to be shaved there, or she’d be hurting after the photo shoot!
Caladan
At least she’s a girl who knows when to bring protection
Alisha
She’s going to regret not pulling her hair up….the hair on her head that is.
Tempter
Back in medieval times. After Frolicking with a knight they would borrow chain mail to cover up as they went to get a drink. This custom has been adapted to current civilization in which the female gets one of their mates shirts or jerseys while going to the fridge.
Ye Olde Devil
Exactly.
SkyDude
I don’t think I’m noticing the sword in this picture…
I see London I see France…I see va-jay-jay in this picture. hahaha
dijjnn
So now hawtness is stealing Evony ads?
Ye Olde Devil
A bastard sword isn’t double-handed; they’re referred to as a “hand and a half” because they’re not quite a heavy as broadswords but they’re bigger than traditional 1-handed swords.
Judging by this picture, that handle is at least 2 feet long. Way too long. Do a bit of research and you’ll see that the handles on bastard swords aren’t nearly that long (in general, they’re be about 12″ long).
Even the Scottish claymore (as used in the movie Braveheart, which is definitely a 2-handed sword) has only a 13″ grip. In this picture, the crossguard is a little over her navel and if she’d hold it upright, the pommel would be above her head.
Ye Olde Devil
Ok, maybe not above her head, but at least as high as the top of her head.
max
Is that what this is from?

Also, I am seriously impressed with the amount of knowledge and experience on everything swords and chain-mail.
There are some serious WOW nerds here.
rj
i guess she just holds them for the 3 meters tall viking warrior
rj
i mean just look at that chainmail, it’s obviously not her size neither
inkie
For size reference, a Zweihänder or 2-handed great sword, is generally made 55-60″ long.
I’d say that makes her a spinner!
The Demon Lord
the pommel looks large even for a Zweihander and also note the small ricasso (typical zweihanders, longswords and 2 handed duelling swords have a large ricasso)
me thinks that the sword isn’t based on an actual medieval sword but is more a prop/for show
and before anyone says it, I am not a WoW nerd, I do however love Medieval sword fighting
Dangell
Just saying, this would be uncomfortable as hell. Hawt, but its still chainmail, and that scratches. A whole hell of a lot.
Randeme
The sword is the least of the picture! That being said, longer swords need longer handles to balance. Pivot should be at cross-guard for easier handling. Now, anyone know the model?
ryan
dude why are you looking at the sword. faggot
Skill-less
Ignore what Tempter posted…. He’s noobing off. You are also a noob……. There are some of us who actually like medieval style weaponry, including different swords and armor types, which WoW doesn’t teach anything of. I am offended by your lack of intelligence. Try watching “Deadliest Warrior” once in a while, maybe you’ll learn something, and stop insulting us geeks.
Skill-less
Also a bastard sword can either be used with both hands or with a shield, if you’re strong enough to handle it single handedly. It’s obviously a prop……. I bet she couldn’t pick it up if she tried, lol!
DaveThe bear
A spinner? as in: 85 lbs. and built like a twelve y/o boy?
Yo Canman! We’ve got another one just for you!
mr_fixit
I’ve seen illustrations of original Claymores with handles near that long. I dunno how the hell they used all that hilt, but meh.
mr_fixit
Ugh, steal away, those Evony ads are frigging stupid so we may as well at least ogle the chicks a little.
mr_fixit
Doesn’t look like she’s wearing britches under there; she better be shaven or one wrong turn and ow, ow ow ow ow ow ow ow, ow ow, ow. Bad enough she might get a nipple pinched in the mail right through whatever that is over her teeny lovely breastesses.
CM
Which do you think weighs more? The model, or the costume?
belinski
It’s a Zweihander. A real, full, man-sized two-handed sword, rather than some pansy hand-and-a-half sword. Used for attacking pike formations and unseating knights by cutting their horse in half.
Possibly not the most practical weapon for women in skimpy, ill-fitted chainmail, though.
belinski
As far as I know, Zweihanders can be up to 6 feet long. Grutte Pier Donia is even said to have fought with a 7-foot sword (and a sword of that size, possibly his, is in a Frisian museum).

Where’s my super-fast can opener, to the rescue my dear
The Wise Man
yes, it’s a DoubleEdged Killer 2000™ with Extra-Long Handle XH® for perfect wielding.
DarkMatter
This shot is definitely a CUT ABOVE.
evildave
Gotta be damned pinchy. I’d help her take it off.
Zippy
It’s a Zweihander
Jane
It is probably an aluminum chain shirt – looks similar enough to a real chain shirt for a prop but weighs a lot less.
Dexaan
Mmmm, now to get her in a nice curvy set of full plate.
Clover Goldngreen
Why do you assume that any guy who notices something in a picture of a hot girl other than the hot girl is gay? Homophobe!
Marshall
If the original is big enough for a desktop, could we get the link please?
Mortis
At least she always…
*whips off sunglasses*
Wears protection.
YYEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!
Jarin
Wide-grip leverage, for killing horses?
max
I meant the REAL hardcore WoW nerds, the ones that wear chain mail to the cons.

Let their chains be broken
Ye Olde Devil
Yes, that MUST be it. Unlike you, I’m not sex-starved so this soft-core porn stuff isn’t all that grabs my attention. I actually look at the whole picture. And I’m something of a medieval weaponry geek.
Ye Olde Devil
Same! Never played WoW in my life. I’m just a big fan of medieval weaponry in general and thus did some research on the subject.
Ye Olde Devil
Of course it is. A chainmail hauberk can actually cover a soldier from head to knee.
kg333
His point still stands, hardcore WoW nerds still don’t know squat about medieval weaponry, although they could talk your ear off about the qualities of runeblades.
mr_fixit
I betcha that’s part of it, yeah.
Tempter
Sarcasm is lost on the retarded.
Steve
Best to be shaven anyway, chain mail on or off
Bob
Considering that Evony ads use stolen images (Google it) I would not be surprised if this image came from somewhere else.
Baumer
Wow nerd convention, I swear I am 1 of mabye 5% that noticed the HOT CHICK in the picture not the damn sword. Would love to find out she is.
Alex
If you want to learn something, don’t watch “Deadliest Warrior” it’s crap.
Neil
After all, it wouldn’t be chain mail without a link.
mr_fixit
Beh, a little trimmed patch is nice. Shaven means shaving all the time or waxing and she has to maintain the skin or it gets chapped and let’s not EVEN talk about stubble. ::shudder::
mr_fixit
Pfft, pretty skinny girls are a dime a dozen, a really good sword is a true companion.
Alex
Very true…
Dave
Not only is it sexy but if she can find a coif helmet then she’ll be perfectly safe once the zombies attack.
lux_freerider
wtf?? a picture of a super hot girl, and 90% of the comments are about the sword???
belinski
There are a lot of pictures of super hot girls on this site. Not many of them carry big swords. The sword and chainmail are what makes this image stand out, so naturally they get a lot of discussion.
Ye Olde Devil
Right, and a skilled swordsman could poke a dozen holes in you with a “pansy” sword while you still recovered from your first swing of a greatsword that big.
Ye Olde Devil
Indeed. I see hotter chicks every day during my commute to work. Maybe Baumer should venture out of mom’s basement once in a while.
And the WoW crack has already been adressed. I guess he’s just slow.
Ye Olde Devil
Super hot? You wearing beer goggles or what? If she’d be fully clothed you wouldn’t have looked at her twice.
belinski
Don’t underestimate the speed of a two-handed sword. With two hands, you’ve actually got more control over it. I’ve practiced with a German longsword (two-handed, though much smaller than this) and an arming sword, and the longsword was far easier and quicker to handle.
But in the end, a Zweihander is not a longsword or an arming sword, and it’s not for taking on swordsmen; it’s for taking on pikemen. You need a big sword for that.
Alex
Correct on all counts.
The Demon Lord
nah if she was fully clothed and carrying that sword I would still have look twice
Strider
LOL Comment win.
Disgruntled
Sheesh! Talk about wearing protection….
Monkeyrokker
The point might be to subtly suggest that hot women like really big swords… The details of actual swords are irrelevant to the tiny naked hottie.
