Since it has been a really, really long time, I thought I'd give an update because my favorite weapon types have changed since I've started sort of sparring and considering logistics and other such things. God, I still typed in purple back then. Dear gods why...
Anyway, curved blade weapons still hold my heart, namely the scimitar and the khopesh, however I've become fond of battle hammers and axes lately as well. Perhaps also ball and chain maces. The greatest thing about the khopesh in particular is that its shape makes it excellent for disarming an opponent and going in straight for a counterattack. Now, I do know for a fact that I can wield a whip, so a chain-based weapon might not be out of my reach. Seriously, if you guys ever run into Everlastin again, ask her about the time I ripped her sword from her with a whip.
