Have you thought they might not even include throwing weapons,the rules say only main weapons will be considered. Thats why my scimitar went from a 1 hand archer weapon to a 2 handed messer.
I second the vote for topogun, it's missing a few features I'd like, but as far as retopo goes, it's the best I've tried. Including Zbrush and 3Dcoat. This Axe is probably my fav item you've got on the go, it's pretty fancy.
Ah, this question comes up often. It's certain that they did; There are also many coats of arms and house symbols that include the stechhelm with ornate plumes, often featuring something bird-related. I'm pretty sure some of these are not from the times, but several are.
