Ashbringer is one of the dumbest looking fucking swords ever, but he still does amazing work.

Murloc lives matter
Hold shit I haven't seen Tony in such a long time.
If anyone is confused why it looks different, this is the upgraded appearance you make sometime after you get Ashbringer.
It was pretty interesting to see how different this approach is compared to Man At Arms (who also forge weapons from pop culture). The latter doesn't have as many special effects (like the CGI sword breakdown and the smoke machines and Murloc pinata at the end), but IMO the way they're making the weapons is more interesting to watch. It's rare that they just cut out the blade of the weapon for example, they often find something thematic to smelt down or use an antiquated technique from that weapon's era, which isn't terribly efficient for business, but IMO makes it much more interesting to watch and gives the end product a bit of cool ancestry.

It's one of the optional skins you can get.

Well, Tony hosted the first like two seasons of MoA. And stock removal is pretty common, especially for bigger weapons like this because you can cut it out of a lighter metal and not have to waste a lot of your stock in the forging process. They do it on MoA now and then but i do agree that i like how frequently they make it thematically appropriate.
I loved how it was all modular. That thing would be so easy to move around from place to place, and even make a custom case to fit each part.
Honestly if that is ever sold, it'll sell for a lot.
I'm surprised they cut it down to just 18 pounds.
