Practically every Artifact is worth forging, though not all are good for a Super-Combatant.

My fav SC artifact is probably the Stone Sword. Aegis is better of course but I just love how the stone sword effects the unit wielding it, as well

Ya, the Stone Sword is awesome... until your wielder joins the rubble.

I did not read the description to the stone sword closely enough when I equipped my destroyer of worlds with it. He was awesome for half a dozen battles then is luck run out, he only had MR 20'ish. Talk about dicing with death...

Has anyone ever used that sickle as a weapon (The Sickle Whose Crop Is Pain, methinks)? Or that two-handed scythe (forgot its name)?

What exactly does the Ankh do? I've forged it before, but I couldn't figure out what it was for, exactly.

The sickle is a bad weapon, but great to get death gems.

The two handed scythe is lethal, but since it lowers defense,your guy can get beat badly. Still, you can take out several squares a turn with that thing (immense damage+aoe), and combined with the level of fear it gets you, you generally rout enemies before they get a chance to hurt you. If you use it, make sure the guy is well protected. (devatas or one of the other 3-4 handed guys can wield it safely, by combining it with the barrier or golden shield for protection.)

The ankh seems to be without merit, except that when your men die, they become soulless.

The ankh gives an auto battlefield spell. If a unit under your command dies, it rises again as a soulless. Nice for extending that big army deathmarch. They're weak, but its extra troops.

When they die a second time they're gone methinks.

I've not used the sickle, but read a post where a guy used a wraith lord (i think) casting shadow blast. The deaths from shadow blasts still caused gems to appear apparently..or it was SB, SB attack and he refilled that way. Dunno.

edit: battlefield spell - life after death, only affects living.
