Attention Warhammer, the Pale Spear of Alpharius is no longer just a fictional weapon! Check out how it was crafted and brought to life.
Man at Arms: Reforged does all kinds of amazing projects over on Youtube where they bring tons of awesome weapons to life from the fictional realms. They have a few Warhammer fans on staff, so this isn’t the first build they’ve done like this.
Their last build for Warhammer was making a working chainsword, so you know they know what’s up! This time they are taking things to the Horus Heresy age and going big. You can check out the video below or check out our highlights of the project.
A 40k Primarch Comes to life: The Pale Spear of Alpharius
They are making this out of Damascus steel and honestly, forging weapons always looks badass!
They actually use Sigmar’s Hammer Ghal Maraz for parts of the forging, ah the nerd senses are tingling.
The magic of cinema is great! Because after only a few minutes to us, the blade is already starting to take shape.

This thing is already starting to look great! Next up is to thin it out and start to sharpen it.
After some serious grinding, you can really start to see it taking shape.
It’s pretty amazing that they grind such precision lines into the metal.
Hey, why not get some great shots of this on fire?
To get a nice antique finish on the blade they blacken it so it doesn’t look too new.
It couldn’t be a real Warhammer blade without some spray paint thrown in!
An acid wash gets off all the grease and excess so you can really see the beauty of the metal.
They even made this so it could be disassembled for cleaning and put back together easily.
Finished Spear
Needless to say, this looks incredible, and yes we’re jealous
If you have a spear like this, why wouldn’t you cut stuff in half?
Not much is more fun than cutting soda bottles in half, just look at the explosion!
Do you want one of these made for you? What weapon would you like to see them make next?
