could the pembridge fit in? Idk what time frame that is exactly
Ohh interesting
inbetween you get rigid throat defenses that showing up as shaped metal pieces attached to the aventail
Dudee those would be so cool in game
i very much agree
I know it's mainly seen a bit earlier, but idk when it went out of use
theyre too early for the game
I hope their added
pembridge is 1340 or 60
Great bascinets ???
i dont remember which
rigid throat defenses
damn
i think the only reason they may not be added is because the great bascinet restricts your head movement quite a bit so you really wouldnt be able to look around much without turning your whole torso
And? Still hella awsome
i agree
development is slow and there’s still a really good chance that itll be added
Why isint their mail under the armor in half sword or is that how it was idk
barbutes dont really present most of those neck restrictions and still arent jnfame
probably again something to do with development
Ohh mb
there is maile what
It’s in platetest
nothing like
Play test
voiders
maille standards and skirts but nothing else
or skirts
there are?
yeah
ye
ive never* noticed skirts
and here are the standards :3
Still awsome tho
very much so
Great bascinet would go hard tho
Flail would be kinda funny
ooh i love the crown on the helmet
the chain mail + cloth looks good, i like the golden part as well on the helmet
anyone know what this kind of bascinet visor is called and what time period it would have been from?
plow faced
the skull on this isnt original but the visor is
theyre always depicted on regular bascinet skulls and never on barbutes
cuz like this is 14th century visor on a 15th century barbute
i lost one of my references for it but ill see if i can find it
me too, shit is so fucking cool
Visored barbute!!!!!
💔
Buhurt,
Buhurth century
It looks inspired by flatter visors found on bascinet like on that spoleto fresco
but it is very much buhurt shaped
Why do you guys hate buhurt so much
the armour is very thick and bulky compared to what you would actually see. Atleast from my basic understanding
yes, the armor is more about protecting from slashes rather than protection from stabs
so its gonna be big
and irrc its no chianmaisale
I don't think the people here dislike the sport
Just when people post the armor in the reference channel, which ideally is designed for accurate references
And buhurt armor is far from accurate in most regards
So shitting up the reference channel with inaccurate and useless images will ofc earn unsavory reactions
this exactly tbh
Earlier someone posted a collection of images depicting larp and outdated harnesses like whyyy
I don't even see in my messages what would convey the message of me hating buhurt tbh
we need great bascinet
I'd love to see some of the early 1450-1470s halberds ingame
not sure how credible a source this museum site is, but
holy shit imagine if we could be able to paint our own shields
half sword reference
some more polearm related stuff
hehe, i did hear some stuff about it being of 'not great credential value'
phylogenies are not a valid representation of the development of arms and armor
but oh well
its alright for showing the different types, but the branches and times are often too strict
it isn't, like the weapons aren't bad but it's not really a good image for development
arms and armor aren't really always developments of off each other
things like this where it's just laid out and you can make your own conclusions are better
the helmet one is way worse, the nasal straight up develops into a "skullcap"/cervelliere
regresses
understandable (i am foaming at the mouth at the thought of spetum/ranseur style polearms in this game if i can find any credence for some similarity of them existing in the timeframe)
this isnt very reliable
bashford dean stick to making body armor for the entente
i like bashford dean and i like the look of phylogenies it makes me sad they dont really mesh well
which is why i've been pouring over museum records for anything resembling spetums (at least i found a few halberds that fit the time)
Look polearms that have long spear like blades and prongs are COOL
Can you blame me?
I was gonna look into some Awl Pikes but it seems people already made a wholeass feedback thread for it so that's that, new weapon to foam over to
Hewing spears ig you could say just absolutely rule
add hand cannons
add pepper
Dr peppe
no
it's not supposed to go on that harnes eaither
that's another case of composite stuff
also
It looks silly even with a dummy head on
I just dont get why would you wanna leave your eyes exposed
Gorget+barbute is crazy work
Maybe cuz you gotta see
I mean if you wanna go full jedi guided by the Force go ahead...
Yeah cause other helmets make you blind....
I mean helmets are a balance between protection, breathability and visibility edit: and comfort
makes you wonder why ppl used kettles and not greatbascinets everytime!!
I mean sure but its just wierd to leave such a big chunk of skin exposed when you could afford every helmet in the world....
Why do modern soldiers on campaign don't use balistic faceshield ?
Pretty sure its an budget thingy..
It's not
it for convenience
it's easier to see, hear, breathe and like draw a bow for instance if you're using a visorless helmet rather than a armet

An archer in full plate armour would be a strange sight yk...
Also why before visors completely "replaced" greathelms, they would toss said greathelm over when dismounting, fighting with pretty much the face exposed (except if you have a bretache), because fighting hand-to-hand with a greathelm would be awkward as fuck
I give up
histor
Wym?
oof, those are like calvary and ceremony stuff in like the 1600 or something
I was just kidding
But thanks for the info
gibe me woman in armor
https://fxtwitter.com/Jimbo19y/status/1825021727568527789
Guys will see a girl in armor and think „wife”
third photo is so dope
this shit is so cringe
It's either that for EVERYONE or it's realistic era appropriate armor for everyone
No double standards, give women in realistic medieval armor and not metal bikinis
How accurate is this diagram? Its given as mid 15th so it should be in the timeframe
Agree bigly
It's very accurate, it's linked to a twitter mega-thread explaining it by @Eol4242 go read it
also.. this isn't necessarily a reference for the game per se but it's rare to see armor (and maille in particular) proofing !
Also that's 18thc
thats sad
never seen one that look like it before
how about this

ooh ma gah
what if this is just someone’s really thin gold arm
kill this guy he knows too much
Me and the boys when we relize theres goth mommys at the function
Should add a blade like this
Why!
dune
cool concept
get out
these are called plomees, right?
the game takes place in the late second half of the 15th century
Visored Barbute, egirl moment
would be nice to see eastern variants of armor/weapons in game
Artist: Giorgi Tsiklauri
Fully based on the Archaeological findings in Georgia, frescoes, old depictions and historical accounts.
The game was based on medieval europe
No eastern armor
Game is focusing on europe and on a specific time period which is 1450-1480.
Yes
But its very limited
Cool polearm
Is it too late for the game ?
The armor depicted in the art is typical of Eastern Europe, specifically these examples were used in the period between 1008 and 1490 AD. Armor of a similar lamellar type was used in Rus' (which includes the territories of modern Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, Poland, Moldova and Romania), Byzantium and the Caucasus region, all of which constitute a massive piece of Europe.
I understand that the game references a specific historical period in Western Europe, but the main problem is that the armor options presented become boring over time, especially considering the lack of customization, which I hope will be added later.
Well the armors from the baltic would probably be added "i hope", like from the grand duchy of lithuania and etc, but thats just my theory
Like this one
In a fight between an unarmoured man and a knight in full armour, the outcome is already predetermined. The probability of winning without armour is very low.
In our unarmoured duels, Philipp Lechner in the role of the unarmoured fencing master only won one out of five duels, and only because I lost my dagger at the start of the fight and could...
true 15century armour lacks variety
a few types of helmets and thats it
whar
those are all 15th century
there is an immense variety of pauldron and spaulder configurations, textile decorations, fluting, engraving, gilding, blackening, a variety of visors and helms and ornaments, and many styles of reinforcement
You think* it lacks variety
absolutely love the last cuirass
it's not, but i would love to have a non western european armor as an option
GYATT
Fellows call me "the Couter"
False
The bascirmet 
armet
On one hand, yeah, things are pretty varied and the stern historical limitations are really refreshing, on the other hand, i'd die to see a dark fantasy setting like dark souls 1's with this kind of commitment to realism and adherence to physics lol
Capra Demon but those swords fling you accross the room and you lose leg control
Commitment to realism which results in you being unable to lift your mega ultra large death sword
guess you gotta hope for a full conversion mod
exactly
Plz educate yourself
From what i know in the 15th century blacksmithing was advanced enough to make a big variety of helmets and armors
Just because some ghotic and italian style where more popular dosent mean there is a lack of variety
dark fantasy setting but with like, actually sensible weapons and armor and whanot
This is you
"yeah sure he's the god of sunlight, doesn't mean his sword needs to be 72 kilos and impossible to lift"
moo...
True
oh wowzers
someone GOT mad
like i said there isnt ANYTHING
😱
based on what they could add to the game there isnt much to

1450-1480 is like peak fashion brah
20224 is peak fashion
i aint saying it isnt maan 😭😭😭
i love it
holy cannoli thats raddd
Armor is cool and all but awl pikes are cooler
Dud the game is not even in early acces
And i didn't get mad i just said to educate yourself before u speak
Do you have the room temp iq?
im not trying to like be mean but i dont understand your point here
there's genuinely so much to be added
The point is to add URINATION into the game.
but there just isnt many TYPES of helmets
Yes there is little boy
many variations...
i'm pretty sure this one wasn't invented until like ww2
i aint a little boy 😭😭
there isn't many variations of helmets compared to what ?
armets
barbutes
sallets
kettle sallets
kettle hats
bicoques
grand bascinets
off the top of my head
i meant the heavy armour ones
forgot to specify
:d
What does heavy armor even mean
Just go to Pinterest and search 15th century helmets/armor
Heavy Armor can't you Read little Boy?
they're ALL heavy armor
Tank Armor.
As stupid as these are, and likely not very useful outside of jousting, they DO fit the timeframe lol
spanish dudes wore kettles and bevors all the time
and french :3
all of those are "heavy"
french were peak fashion
kettle + bevor goes insanely hard
Players vision in this helmet:
A line
imagine having a way to turn your head lol
Mfs always fancy
Well Willie already turns his entire body to face another direction
true
Glorpus
okay i get it no offense,a shame not everybody cant say that beacuse someone has an diff opinion
Well Young man you are being rather vague yourself!
Henceforth You will be beaten with Hammers
jeez... lets just say High tier in halfsword ;pp
uninformed opinion
But all those helmets r high tier
Kettles and barbutes were used with full plate harnesses
I AM TALKING IN HALFSWORD TERMS... 😭
is this guy slow
He took all the chromosomes for himself
If so then all of those helmets were worn wit full plate armore
what
half sword isnt the real 15th century
those are the only 2 possible helmets in the 15thc ofc no more no less
in those particular design and config too
The 15th century germany where everyone speaks in funny faux old timey english
have fun reading old german
hell no i can't even read modern german, i was mostly agreeing with Sam's comment there
i knoow
also this first helmet is badass
it has a bit of a silly chin but besides that, jeez
aight lets just leave it here before i get hated even more
🔥 🔥 🥺
Idk why but this helmet looks like a sperm
i... don't see it lol
Hmmm yet I do
The armet with the soyboy chin
But i love it
True!!! also we should add the greathelm !!!
The great bascinet helmet? yes!
isn't the greathelm a bit older than the period?
Bruv....
its an joke pal
i think he was jokin
aah
eek
From you i expect anything
please i know there are more helmets,and i am not slow and dumb (atleast as much as you guys think) i just dont see what else they could add for helmets
thats all
and suddently i got marked as #1 dumbass ever
Well young man Uve been told what Could be added
bicoques and grand bascinets
more barbutes
more kettles
right 2 more types of helmets
More sallets, more armets
Again, compared to what ?
Ok then what r u comparing the number of helmets 2
the previous century ? nowadays?
True
to star wasr
one of my favs btw.... 1464-1466
This is a depiction of Salim al Bongo
I do not know who that is unfortunately
Former Earl of Michigan

i dont understand guys 😭
Understand wat
these are all variations
(IM NOT SAYING I AM RIGHT YOU ARE WRONG IF SOMEONE STILL THINKS THAT)
guapo
these are both armets, i think it is strange to call them the same kind of helmet considering the only similarity is the method of opening
Willie helmet....
gorget
ok yeah
these are both barbutes but the amount they cover and the method of which they are constructed is so wildly different i think its silly to say the incorporation of both is narrower than the incorporation of two helmets of different opening methods
me neither it's weird but i think i've seen a couple similar ones here and there
thats what i meant at frist but this single image has somewhat lead me why i may be wrong
thanks for making me a smarter fella !!
it jumpscared me
you either a smart fella or a fart smella


(not to you mr.saint george you mean bastard... you hurt my little weak soft heart....)
And ill do it again
wars of the roses war hat..
you must get all the girls with your level of swag buddy
so fire..
Pull up
At least im not the one that had to be educated by 5 guys for half an hour on helmets
Weak af ngl
i love the war hat (this is one of the 'very few' that survived apparently)
some degree of larp but got that red guy is epic
It's from a german crucifixion scene that visor is present on a bicoque iicr
is that just this but decorated?
too lazy to mlook for it rn
no
then what? if i may ask
Sallet
very funky lookin
Wooowzers yours so tuff
can i be like you big guy?
i wanna learn this level of edge....
Cease your jibber-jabber
excuse me king...
carpet !!!
absolutely insane swag
do u think the helmet is allantica too
like the arms
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa (falling)
seems pretty plausible imo
no and the arms aren't all'antica
yeah theys just gold
posting this again because it's so fucking cool
drawing based on this i believe
what is all'antica ive heard it a few times but i really dont know what it means
and google fails to do its job as always
in-period fantasy style
how artists back then showed via styles of armor how antiquated and old a scene is
it can be total high fantasy, with or without "roman" looking elements or low fantasy with relatively practical stuff
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5j5JfagtT3c&t=2s is this the one where tobias capwell talks about all'antica?
Tobias Capwell is the Curator of Arms and Armour at the Wallace Collection. He is one of the world's leading authorities on medieval and Renaissance weapons and armour, with special emphasis on armour in England during the 15th Century.

i didn't want to post that video cuz I posted it a billion time here but yeah, best video ever..
idk if this is total high fantasy but it feels like it
ive never seen that kind of thing
in general all' or alla means "like" or "similar", "antica" being antique, and since they didnt have a great grasp on antique stuff they just made it wackily decorated and built, but in some cases also depicted helmets from ~30 or ~40 years ago (like depicting a hounskull for an "old" scene, but the art being made in like 1450)
alla tedesca is usually used to describe italian export armor that is meant to look german, cant think of another alla or all' example right now
alla francese
Scale armor?
Yeah !! Yeah !!
:3
I never understood why the sabots where so big
Me when i like shoes that are big and i like big shoes that are big and very pointy look in big shoes
this specific depiction of scale armor
Because of unarmored fashion, the longer the poulaine (shoes) were, the wealthier you'd be so like a lot of clothing fashion it translated to armor
They are detachable btw
are they useful for kicking your horse into gear? like reverse spurs? or are they just to look cool on horseback
Is this a Glorpusian style of armor
Ohh so its like the cock thing of landsknecht
Not that i'm aware of, also pretty sure they weren't really used into battle
I thought that too
codpiece, not a landsknecht specific thing, but essentially yes
I think we should have more clothes
to look cool on the way there 
giornea would be cool
more patterns too
I mean sure why not lol
I was about to write that
Tru
Also that jouse.... Thing i forgot the name
My guy is wearing fur
probably not jazerant huh
is all’antica
That helm too?
the pointy one?
The spiky one i mean
yeah that’s too ornate to function very well
Jouselightsaber jousegreathelm jousearmourwithwings
Damn
It looked realistic ngl
what
Pointless unfunny joke
very long armets like that show up in the spiezer kronik
also uhhh
in a fresco
houppelande
Right...
in this one it's kind of likely to be elongated for the sake of the crowns sitting atop it
yurp
Oh damn ok
Where can i find it?
i might have it on hand
Dude educate yourself, it was an another race that went extinct in 18 century they had very big heads so its logical they used very big helmets 😒😒
The goal of e-codices is to provide free access to all medieval and a selection of modern manuscripts of Switzerland by means of a virtual library. On the e-codices site, complete digital reproductions of the manuscripts are linked with corresponding scholarly descriptions.
@rustic dune
Thank you
Could've swear it was some swiss stuff
im pretty sure the manuscript is meant to cover a large historical period so some wacky things like the elongated helmets might be intentionally fantastical
but a lot of the arms and armor are super grounded
I saw this kind of pointy helmet in other mod from total war attila and the swiss faction had it
Ill give it a look with a grain of salt then
This is just really silly, there’s so much variation between germany french, English, and much more that Half sword is going to replicate in amazing quality. and customization is gonna be a thing eventually lol, its gonna be really depthy.
this might be my favorite manuscript actually, holy cow the illustrations are nice
going through the spiezer chronik instead of my homework 
Jesus fuc you are annoying
calm yourself
That dude in the middle forgot to get dressed
Im sorry but i must say it looks like a teletubbie
The face plate is interesting ngl
i love it
i just realized the manuscript shows a lot of rain guards too
Rain guards??
the bit of leather between the grip and the scabbard
prevents rain and gunk from seeping into the scabbard and dirtying the sword
What's the point of that pommel?
Well thats ingenious
hitting people with it
sword doubles as a mace if you hold it by the blade, then
To bonk the enemy
note the guard looking spiky, too
basically turns the sword into like a poleaxe with those spikes
called a "teutonic estoc", usually
they show up in fiore di battaglia and a few early 16th century fighting manuals iirc
I meant
Why does it have spikes
..to hit people
rondel in the middle is for half-swording by the way
I mean .. dumb question
My guy if its not to much can u send me in private some manuscripts ??
I know about its use i just never seen an pommel with spike .:o
yeah sure
never heard being called like that before
that's the only thing i've heard it called
i just saw it called a "kampfschwert" upon looking it up
Updates !?!?
That cheap???? I gotta see that
methinks he means a civil kit
those are a bit cheaper
Aaaaa :<
belt and purse are coming in around sept. 15th
the actual clothes come in by abt sept 20th
man every historical shop that has the heat has a website made in like 1998
whabout the clothe
The lateral spikes seem like kind of a bad idea to me. The ones parallel to the guard for sure useful, but the ones on the faces of the coin, so to speak, im not sure sure about. Seems like theyd get in the way a lot when you carry it, and hitting someone on the axis of the flat of the blade seems like it wouldnt transfer energy well, and perhaps risk overstressing the blade causing a kink or a break
They're dueling weapons exclusively
sorry to bother but what is the source of your pfp?
thank you very much
that's a godly description lmfao
Ahh, that makes sense then
I’d love it if you sent me some too 🙂
What’s the name of this type of polearm?
Spetum
Ghiavarina
Glorpus
this is so sick
Would be very awesome to see this weapon in the game https://youtu.be/3X-hLXBLu8c?si=esNSOS0yqvfndOFL
The billhook was custom made by Whitewell Arms
The ballistic head was from Ballistic Dummy Lab
#polearm #billhook #ballistichead #zombie #zombiehead #HEMA #fencing #martialarts #medieval #renaissance
we already have bills
we do lmao
we dont have the lugs but we have everything else
im actually begging for a claymore to be added
actually the term claymores most likely refers to the basket hilt broadswords ! 🤓
Also too late for the game
oh damn
cledmore
however check those danish greatswords
I think they're right into the game timeframe too
@lyric garnet
colossus
also this is badass
at least previous one is good?
as far as i can tell yeah
It's buhurt so no
Meant to reply to this mssg
That’s a claidheamh dà làimh
claidheamh dà làimh where around in the 15th century
Wrong, it's actually a claymore da willie
I expected as much
Hmmm wrongful
Throughout heaven and earth, I alone follow protocol 3.
heck yeah
those designs were 16thc
They could use an earlier design
Wdym
The Irish long swords are pretty cool
Wrong
can you stop ?
Stop what small boy?
Being annoying
Hmmm how am I annoying
Hmmm why is it tiresome
Correct you should take this advice
Every once in a while the troll in him takes over.
when did sliding rivets become a thing
what would be the historical explanation of this happening
bacon grease
Glorpus liquid
That appears less on higher tier armour which is a fun detail
They had glue, but i dont think you oughta glue the straps on
Traditional glue is made from boiling tendons
And skin i think
You can also use pitch or resin
Not sure if this channel is already well known among the community, but wanted to share anyway. Really amazing shots of saber battles (I know it's the wrong time period), but I've been nerding out trying to incorporate it into saber / short sword duels in the game haha.
This big project is my 100.000 subscriber special. A short film with three saber duels. All fights are non-choreographed, with full speed and force, without using protection, but real historical sabers and my opponent is the german national champion in sabre fencing.

My favorite part: "Perish, bastard!" haha.
dude i hope the next updates bring saber stances like this
Time to draw something later
I love a nice Salet and Bevor combo
So the black and red stuff could be glue residue but what about the green thing
To me it looks like rust or something corrosive on the metal and oxidation like copper on the leather
Dq is the goat man
It does look like copper corrosion, could be they pulled the wrong mat for that texture
I imagine whatever library they’re getting their trust mat from also has a copper rust
they were at least in use by like the early 1400s i believe
gothic plackarts utilized them
wrong

ay chat this sallet with goofy face fits in game period? (image kinda small)
no this doesn’t fit the time frame
why do you like to spoil other people's fun with such crude answers?
you make me sad
you asked a question and i answered
but you answer in a way that makes me sad

Not Halfsword related, but does anyone here have a decent grasp on how noble tits worked and their implications. Specifically ecclestical ones like prince-bishop or prince-abbot
noble tits?

Don’t mock the spelling I have never studied the manuscript, I only know of it because I volunteer at the museum the video I posted was recorded.
I just think it's funny
How you hold a dagger is not important. Front grip or reverse grip does not matter. With a sword you can try fancy things. In a dagger fight, you will be killed if you try to surprise your opponent. The art of dagger fighting is simple and brutal. Stab your opponent more often than be stabbed by him.

https://www.heritagedaily.com/2024/08/17th-century-samurai-sword-discovered-in-berlin-excavation/153289 you fella may find this interesting. After HS tho
thats pretty cool
I spotted this on a wall in south west germany, we can see some armor in it
Big helmet
what type of armor set is this ? it has a cool owl face sallet tho
"Kunst Schott von Hellingen"
but out of the game timeframe
it's based on his harness but it was made in Nuremberg in the early 1500
Looks 19th-20th century to me.
Yeh it's in a 16th century city but it was painted in 1900's but it depicts some cool helmets
That a 17th century katana was brought to Germany in the second half of the 19th century is by no mean incredible actually.
France had during the 17th century a full Japanese samurai armor in its royal collections it was even painted on the ceiling of the hall of mirrors in Versailles.
We still have them both (they were gifted by japan iicr)
they're in the Musée de l'Armée
not the royal collections
I think we have a couple more
You know what Im going to say
I don’t want to be rude, but you should read that sentence think about it and correct it.
Yes hence he is coldblooded
Then please do what I ask, I think you can correct yourself without me having to point out the obvious.
Been there but unfortunately you can't take pictures of those japanese armors anymore
??
Took this pic at the Louvre, but I think it doesn't fit the period i'll need to check
Fuck it's out of the timeframe.. cool plate voiders tho
Alright let me point out the obvious then…. There is no such thing as the “royal collections” anymore, each royal administration was renamed the garde meuble de la couronne was renamed garde meuble National , now it is called Mobilier national(after changing name during each regime the empire the restauration and so on).
However when they were painted on that ceiling they were in fact part of the royal collections under the numbers 337 and 379 of the weapons and armors chapter of he general inventory of the garde meuble de la couronne.
Ok ?
Now it is in the collections of the Musée de l’armée.
Literally my point
I'm saying that it is in the Musée de l'Armée
many people here might not know about the whole royal collection shit
(crazy ik)
The way you phrased it was somehow very odd “not the royal collections” it’s a bit like saying X buildings is not in Stalingrad it is in Volgograd.
So if ppl want to learn more about them, they need to have the correct museum
anyway none of this is relevant to the channel anyway
Indeed.
Probably posted these already but whatever
Yes.
Stein am Rhein
Switzerland (Schaffhausen)
magnificent pollaxe, based on Hans Talhoffer’s drawings in the Copenhagen codex, is assembled. Manufactured by Ulrich Langbehn
you know you're getting that good good if the guy's name is Ulrich
yeah i know
Its so cool seeing modern technology used to make medieval stuff in this way
Perfect craftmanship
add this to the game
Might be a triggering topic for you guys, but any chance katanas were in europe during the 1400s?
15th century plate voider repro.
"Testing compression armpit on a milanese armor (model of Galeazzo d'Arco).
Several sources shows this kind of protection through XVth century. I could test it since several month and here are my observations :
For what purpose in the end ? According to sources, it is much a tournament equipment than a war gear (but the hypothesis is not excluded). The use on foot or on horse is questionable. I can manipulate a lance but it's a bit less easy than without any protection.
On a horse it could be use to gain a small additional chance to deflect a spear thrust from the small gapes, more than a mail voider. But all of this is theory and disccussions with jousters leads me to think that it was more common for a foot soldier.
No grip, no pinch or disagrement, I can bend to scratch my nose and even drink and eat properly.
The rivet could suffer from many and heavy uses. That's could mean a regular care or even change for some part.
Otherwise, it's a very interesting experiment here ! I'm glad to humbly present it to you and I will continue to test it.
The armor and device was made by Georges Jolliot !
Mail bolero made by Ironskin !"
Nope, basically zero chance.
Thought so, earliest europe contact with the japanese was like around 1600s right?
I'm not sure Europeans even visited japan in the 15th century at all, i think they first visited in the 16th century
Nope, 1500s iirc
by then I guess they could have brought some back, but certainly not to use in battle
Yeah
most likely collections
souvenirs
Would be a waste to use them in a land where no one knew how to treat/maintain such a weapon lmao
more so that warfare is a hell of a lot different in europe
katanas are made in the expectation that you don't find people in complete plate harness
ofc the Japanese still had good armor, even plate armor when the Europeans visited, but it was far different and a lot easier to bypass with a sword from my understanding
oh thats true
Sigmas, are there any historical evidences of couters having arming points laces
Looks like Gaudefroy De Montmiraillard in the movie "Les Visiteurs" 🤣
the only time i've seen laces on couters is for decorative purposes
let me try and find an image
at least i believe they're decorative
any time i have seen them they have been connected to nothing
Well
might be a method of wearing them other than using a staple or rivets though
If it's a massive couter I don't think some laces will support it, surely they mustve relied on straps
Hmm well Sam what if I told you i'm inside your house
well a lot of the major couters that were added over the arm harness were "stapled" on
True
little tiny nail thing holds the entire thing on
you can... but decoratively..
@toxic breach that guy's got laces on em
can't live with the fact that this guy may not be on the game
i'd weep
imo I feel like 1430-1480 is better than 1450-1480
since we'd get more kastenbrust stuff and a few other stuff
true
Wdym modern tech
i think he thinks the assembly system is a modern invention
which honestly i dont blame him for it's pretty slick
are there samuri in the game?
and there won't be
I think the screw assembly is from period sources
yeah i figured
Imagine what a pain it would be to cut a screw without a lathe
What's a lathe
a lathe is a machine that is used to make machine parts, such as screws, by holding a dowel in a spindle which is spun, and using a tool which is mechanically interfaced with the spindle in order to cut the dowel at a regular rate
Oh ok
woodworking lathes are known from at least the early modern period, a foot powered design usually called a pole lathe
but its unclear how much older a lathe might be, because they are typically constructed from organic materials that are lost with time, and wouldve always been rare and precious tools
many pieces of material culture seem to have been worked by lathes but what form those lathes took, if indeed they were really lathes is also unclear
that being said you need a much more secure and potent machine in order to turn metal, because its obviously so much harder than wood
the Loffelholtz codex (1505) depicts on page 9 a tap, which is used for cutting the internal threads of a screw-hole, and i suppose its possible that a tap could be devised from the hardest steel to cut the internal threads of a metal object
on the whole though i can only imagine its a huge fucking pain in the ass
i would imagine the majority of poleaxe heads are probably fixed in much simpler ways
tbh everything quite isn't historical
with vague inspirations from 16thc
so not a reference for the game either way
Mods, draw and quarter him
larp
is this real
Oh i didnt know crecy posted it here btw
yes?
Is this real
god i hope so
https://www.muzzleloadingforum.com/threads/gonne-mace-combination.80608/ It seems like it might be
These photos were just emailed to me. An original Landsknecht 4-Barrel Hand Gonne and Mace Combination, Ca. 1540.
This item is owned by a private collector in Europe. I'll Post his description following this. Enjoy!! Rick.
Yes it's real but 16thc
holy shit thats cool
wait nvm mantic posted a link
look up for holy water sprinkler as weapons
they often have guns
i keep getting centuries messed up. i thought it could be in game until i read again
yeah i know i just forget when im excited about a possible cool weapon
he is missing an eye
he got browned upon
Guys, where did you start to learn all those things on armor? (I want to know more about them)
Are those hinged tassets in the first image?
there are a few books out there, but in my case I mostly just picked up information from what more knowledgeable people tell me (and combing through iconography)
Armies of Feudal Europe in particular is great for earlier medieval period, it's by Ian Heath who if i remember correctly ran a youtube channel that has great information. Knyght Errant i think he went by on yt iirc
the book covers 1066-1300
is this armor historically accurate for the very late 700s england
No
The helmets should be looking like this instead :
ask questions, be in historical circles
find specific things you want to figure out and research or ask about them
i can spot you a bunch of manuscripts and papers if you want
bad repro alert
it ain't the worst, especially considering how bad greathelm repros can get
better than what
i assume this
which is funny because greathelms are like 500 years later
they're not even close to each others in term of use and period why even compare the 2
good question
also "more cheek protection" but less visibility, breathability, hearing and ventilation
nah you can see good
makes you wonder why greathelms were ditched once a man-at-arms fought on foot instead of mounted
trust me its like a bucket with holes
you're not him
You can't tell me a greathelm doesn't have less visibility than an open faced helmet
i always thought it was strange how greathelms were ditched. they don't seem that much worse than say a great bascinet which ofc were popular amongst dismounted men at arms (in england anyway)
is it really that much worse? or is the protection negligible, i mean open face is still excellent so i could see it
you can raise the visor on GB and they're attached to your cuirass, they don't just stand on the top of your head for the most part
oh, yeah that makes a lot of sense
also you could have a bretache with your bascinet under a greathelm
so when you take it off you'll still have some degree of facial protection
silly billy
👎

That one awesome
what
fake vuhbo fan
my pookie is back though
What set of armor is this?
I’d like to have a bit more infos on those two.
Where are they taken from?!
Perhaps one of the many triptych depicting the adoration of the Magi. Which would explain the presence of a black character wearing some All’Antica attire.
1480
Thanks for the answer! 🙂
feel free to ask stuff here !!
Thanks! I will

Thank you 🙂
Beautiful sallet forged by Alexey Moskalenko
so hot
Hello young men . Were spurs worn on bare poulaines/
@terse bronze Saar you are most knowledgeable on this hence i require your assistance!
yes
as well as boots ect
Ok what was the mechanism with which the spurs were secured onto poulaine
spurs can just be attached around anything since they have leather bands
Ok that slays
(purposely not talking about some 16thc spurs that were built-in the sabatons cuz who cares)
high riding boots are cooler
kastenshit
bro???
kastenshit
im joking lauf kastenbrusts
nowhere close
New half sword arena? 🤣
half sword reference found in edinburgh
Why he looks pregnant

I thought Kastenburst should be a little on the chest area not on the stomach
Yeah its a bit saggy
thats why its so cool
not sure if its accurate tho,i just like to send rs sometimes
it looks accurate to me
nothing really wrong with it
i mean it looked accurate too but everyone started hating on it,so i assumed i was wrong (ig?)
what do yall think about dis
pretty swag
looks nice but not historically accurate
I thought painted helmets were accurate?
He not talking about you
Oh nvm
For some reason it teleported me to the gothic set
There's barely if any sources for painted sallets in the 15thc
the only couple we have are from the early 16thc and the style of painting is very different
Painted sallets in the 15thc is a reenactorism
Can we have painted stuff
It's even worse when you notice the little holes alongside that sallet rim, made to attach a textile cover
just like black sallets ect that appear painted today but originally would have been covered in textile
Mkaay
yes
What do you guys think about this?
prolly a fake
Its not real
Maybe a genuine piece that was significantly altered centuries later.
most of the swiss seem to be wearing berets
it wasnt meant to be an serious question...
i think its #silly
exactly 😝
i think this is that one "shame masks/bascinet" that used for ladies whom gossips too much
too late for the game
bro im not sending it for the game i dont care about it
then you are missing the whole point of this channel
