It's (War) Hammer Time! (Input from Devs would be appreciated, so I can sleep at night!)

Out of all the confirmed weapon types either announced or shown in artwork, I've seen very little in the way of battle hammers. 

Maces, yes, for certain.   But the only instance of a war hammer I've been able to spot is in this character artwork, where it appears the first Dwarf has a hammer of some type:

So my question is this, will we have war/battle hammers in Ashes? 

One handed hammers and Two handed hammers?

Or is the category of "Maces" currently the placeholder for all blunt damage melee weapons that include things like hammers, flails, and morning-stars? 

A dwarf has got to know these things. 

Not knowing is driving me to drink!

2-handed war hammers were mentioned in an example once before.

You'd have to dig through the transcripts to find it.

They did mention hammers as @Jahlon said, so you might be in luck!

@Rumbleforge, it's being used as a crafting tool but still a hammer!

I tolerate one or two for their follicle free chins make me chuckle and they can hold an ale or two.

Well, they only use hammers as an example as it was used in the viewer's question - however they certainly didn't say there wouldn't be hammers.  But it's something!

I may not rest easy until I see examples in production artwork though.

Maybe we will see one in the much anticipated combat preview at the August Livestream on Twitch. (Hint! AoC)

Dwarfs will have life sized Q-tips because hammers make too much noise.
