Torm hammer and swamp club are the mains i use ^^ torm is by far the biggest and shiniest of my collection, but i seem to favor the odd plagueborn mual :P.
Hammer by far the best out of the three warrior weapons, its the constant main for my war and it never fails me in pve/pvp, yes its slow but if you get a chain off, gg.
Why are so many hammers so damned small?

Hammers have good sizes they dont need to be so big that u can crush ettin in one hit

Hammer warriors will 99% of the time be less effective than sword/axe in PvE.
HOWEVER
Hammer warriors come into there own in PvP, the ability to chain KD someone is amazing.

Your huge Guild Wars hammers are about as realistic as those retarded Final Fantasy swords. |

I take down people with 3-4 skills hits with my hammer build lol. A upgrade would be nice still. But mostly some hammers have small head pieces that make them look pretty small, like the victo maybe. I'm sure the vera looks pretty big.

), Nolani and Borlis Pass when using a sword (Barbed Ascalon Razor - 10-14 and the best I could get at the time), with the Serrated Shield on the side, and the standard Sever Artery/Gash combo. Switched to a hammer (Sundering Rhino's Charge, of course, since I own GotY) and got through Surmia, Nolani and Borlis on the first try. Have to do a second attempt at the Frost Gate since I accidentally pulled too much...Admittedly, much of that goodness is coming from using a max hammer long before any maxed weapons would naturally come my way, so maybe I'll change my mind once I get a maxed sword and axe...

I can't stop laughing at all the "hammers r bad" posts... I think that most Hammer elites would argue with them. In PvE they work fine, but in PvE it doesn't flipping matter what weapon you're using as long as you have an appropriate build.
You wanna run a DS spam warrior? Fine, go right ahead, high dps and constant pressure. Or you can run an Eviscerate > Execute axe build that'll work good too. Want to run a build so you can chain Backbreaker or Earthshaker? FINE! Constant knock downs are great! It's PvE it doesn't matter!
Back on topic my Warrior is female and she uses a Destroyer Maul and it sure looks big enough to me on both genders, it's also probably my favorite hammer skin.

i like the desolation maul and yes hammers are good im not all for most of their skills but a fair amount are good (all war attributes have a large share of crap)

hammers see slightly less use in PvE because useable swords and axes seem to drop more frequently than halfway decent hammers do. Therefore every wakko crazy gotta kill it now warrior grabs the first decent weapon they find and usually acquire skills to go with it. Thus by the time they find a decent hammer, it is expensive to change. So they don't.

i personally think the majority of hammers are indeed small, but it doesnt mean that there arent any awesome ones. i love the mursaat maul / hammer dyed blood red.

No godmode with hammer in PVE.

And to the ES/Crude swing flames. Awesome job, I wasn't knocking hammer in PvE, just saying I wouldn't like it unless you have a fun/creative build, which your build is obviously not creative, but if you enjoy hitting the same 3 keys to kd a mob, then have fun!

Back on topic.... I kinda agree with the OP, when you look at some of the common hammer skins(The Iron Hammer, the Igneous Maul, The Bronze and Copper Crushers, The war hammers, the foehammers the BMP mauls ect) and then compare it to something like the gavel of the nephilim or Zodiac or the new greater glyphic maul... they seem kinda puny by comparison... And it just doesn't look like the warrior holds the gavel right...

Disagree. My fave is my mursaat (actually got as a drop for my hammer girl, was great 
) Vera is also large and great (tetsubo skin) If you want big try a ruby maul (Goren + ruby maul = great lol) Twin war hammer also nice. Ice breaker is large, as are desolation mauls. If you like wicked and pointy, try a collosal pick.
For the record, my hammer war is female and kicks bootie.

Yeas some of the hammers are incredibly tiny. Like the Greater Glyphic Maul it looks like a damn claw hammer on a stick. If its that small it should atleast swing faster. Now my copper crusher is a decent size but most of of them are way undersized.
Now my female ele uses an Undead Maul sometimes for fun. That thing is just the right size.

I watched a GvG last night and both guilds had 2 warriors with hammers.
You win my brand new award for having no clue what youre talking about. Goodmatch.
edit: the guilds were ranked 4 and 7.

meh, hammers really dont need to be that big if u think about it
i think their sizes are fine, if i want a big hammer ill get an undead maul, mursaat hammer or tetsubo.

Take my quiz.
Do you think Hammers Suck?
1) Yes
2) No
If you chose 1, You are a scrub, and a nub.
Hammer>Axe>Sword
Pretty basic stuff.

Hammers are great. The only downer with them are the lack of skills early on in Prophecies (the only campaign I have so far) and how ridiculous the animal headed ones look - not that that'll stop me from using my Sundering Rhino's Charge 'til I find another maxed hammer with just about any other skin and a vaguely decent haft (Sundering at 20% is nice) for it. :P

Hammers only suck if you enjoy wailing on stuff and get annoyed with having to switch targets so much cause it dies so fast. ^_^

Although its small I think the Greater Glyphic maul suits Jora the best, what do you think ?

And to add to that... after dropping it on your foot, stick it onto a long pole and hold it at 45° for hours on end while running around town scremaing "Save yourselves!!!" and "For great Justice!!!" (no need to swing it, as you wont manage to hold it anyways).
I have a few hammers ranging from tiny (clockmakers hammer) to a big 5KG one for taking down walls. Not even the big one looks remotely the size of the medium sized ones, and thats already difficult to swing multiple times without breking into a sweat.

the only hammer that i really think looks like crap is the Gavel of Nephilim...i mean when my female warrior used to have one, her hand was on the head because the grip was too small.

well duh you have only been playing for 200 hours, you only have 200 hours under your belt that is very very low and understandable why you have not seen them.

REAL women use hammers.
Anyhoo, I fully agree with the OP. Some hammers are rediculously small...and when the guy who designed the Gaven of the Nephilm saw how small they made it, surely he must have been gutted.
There are a few hammer skins which I consider "decently large":
- Undead Maul
- Igneous Maul
- Twin Hammer
- Mursaat Hammer & Mursaat Maul
- Summit Hammer
Celebrian
its not the size, its how you use it...
but lets face it most warriors in this game only have obsidian flesh capped
and back on topic... mursaat hammer = win :P as well as those BMP hammers, theyre HUGE!
