Arma 3?
yes
Rn I play Arma reforger, usually do Bushwar and the usual Gulf War
Arma 3 ww2 mods are so much better imo than Arma reforgers
I miss the Spanish civil war servers

omg it's the Fake History Hunter off that ye olde Twitte
Hell yeah french armour
What kind of helmet do you think the knight in red coat is wearing? It looks like great bascinet to me.
Saved this from medieval advisor’s facebook page
The visor reminds me of a sallet
great bassinet i think as well
important to remember visors dont define what helmets are
blueman
Dats true
visor and tail are defo reminiscent of a sallet but as for the ‘bevor’ it does strike me as great bascinet esque. what is the original source?
also, could someone source this? i’m pretty sure i originally got it from here but that was also eight months ago.
It's a painting of the auto-da-fè iirc
Scrap that, wrong
See posts, photos and more on Facebook.
Here the facebook post of it
Francesco Pesellino, The Story of David and Goliath, about 1445-55. Read about this painting, learn the key facts and zoom in to discover more.
thank you for the correction. i was kind of being lazy for finding source material or era and grabbed some images i thought were funny looking
all good things dude

We need more Iberian armor
but it still stands to reason we WILL be aura farming like that when tempered armor fully releases
we should have the option to blue armour in the "adjust armour" with the armour smith
I would love for more i guess "ludicrous" armor sets.
Stuff from like the Pastrana Tapestries and All'antica but i doubt it
can we do the tempering range of colors?
we should also have a tailor
I would like it if we could alter some types of doublets
Like the basic doublet, have it untied, rolled sleeves or whatever
make our own scheckes and stuff
I also want to be able to adjust rivets on helmets
decorate our armour
Maheutres!! When?!?
I hate that they removed doublets with Maheutres...
Like why
It was literally my favorite doublet in demo :d

oh poop
Yeah, I had a hard time finding only colander visors though
Most of them have eye slits
Stuff like these
i would venture to say the second one is too early too
horse croissant

looks tuff
In which century is the game based exactly?
Mid to late 15th
brother read the channel title
hahahhaahahaha
dude, I can't believe I never realized
Thank you very much
silly guy from right around 1450
True..

wheres the references
1460-1470, 661 PO in Paris.
gigantic forehead on that bitch
new pfp!!
It looks as if someone took their source material way too literally
it does look a tad bit odd
The armour is definitely 1477-1490 iirc (Daniel von Mudersbach (died 1477) in the Dom of Limburg an der Lahn.) but "similar" armour is shown within half swords period (1450-1470)
wdym
it was a direct reconstruction of an effigy
I was talking about the sallet
Yeah?
since Im being reacted
No leg harness?
Coselete maxxing
matt
mogged
when you see her again tell her I said hey lmaooo
i might in march

usually my mentor invites her because she taught him
jelous
she’s like my fencing grandma
we traded swords for a bout and mine is super long and hers is comparatively a lot shorter so i kept thrusting and missing by half inch increments and she kept stepping with thrusts when she didn’t need to and putting her body weight into like.. armpit stabs 
damn this looks badass
i hope they add middle eastern designs too or like mongol / timmurid designs
unfortunately very unrealistic for the game’s scope
ah shucks welp if they ever add mods someone out there will make smh like that i hope
The dude on the right in the first pic is the guy who I modeled my armor after :D
oh shit it's matt easton from schola gladiatoria
Amazing YouTube channel, honestly

old world armoury brigandine
1445-1450. From the Ulrich IX suit in Churburg. Weight: 19.3 Kg
The guantlets and helmet dont match the suit. Not sure about the rest of it.
Weight: 41.24 Kg. dude was about 2 meters tall (6'7)
blume
Whats that helmet in the middle picture with the two things sticking out on the top?
There a version of it used during battles?
wdym
I might be a tiny bit confused by weren't jousting helmets used outside of battle for shows or competitions?
Its why I was wondering if there was a helmet that looks similar to it that was used during battles outside of those situations
I usually see great bascinets used in tournys only in the period
Okay 👍
(unless if someone else has a source, ofc)
I dont want to spread misinfo so im not gonna answer directly
dude looks like a ghoul
@coral path how outdated are hounskull bascinets for the game's timeframe?
by like 40 years maybe
nah from what I understand is that they were used in the early 15th century and "went out of style" in around 1430s-1440s or so
i have never seen any in a non-antique source past 1420
personal opinion is ~55 years
though they began to "die out" ~65-70
personally i think some may still have been around in 1430 but thats just my opinion
perhaps in some regions
1436-1443, But yeah again a biblical scene with possible "archaic" elements
i mean we have a little bit of evidence for like scandinavian territories right?
with the way almost everybody is wearing one and a few of them notably have "crude" looking aventail-less ones i think its safe to say its an artistic device
yeah there's the paul dolnstein artwork which shows swedish peasants wearing them in 1502
Yeah I agree
so maybe it could be conjectured that, in sweden at least, they persisted throughout the 15th century? idk
there are rounded hounskull visors that seem to sustain into ~1470 but thats all i know for mainland europe
Also them Irish wearing bascinets even throughout all the 16th century
yea
Well yeah great bascinet were used throughout all the 15th C.
seems like their frequency decreases a lot past ~1440 but they're used up until 1470
Unless your irish
they're special
Btw aventail-less bascients were pretty common in Iberia and Italy during the second half of the 14th C. and first decades of the 15th C.
I love these
Ireland had their own stuff goin on
yea
this
I also think I saw a polish source around 1460 or 1470 with a bascinet
I cant prove it until I find it
1465-1470?
65-70 years before 1475 i meant
ah

john greenwich
oh my farb on some of these
I know houndskull is super super outdated for the game, but when did the klappvisor die out?
klappvisiers can be hounskulls too btw
but essentially
some time before, roughly
Isn’t it a thing likeevery hounskull is a klappvisor but not every klappvisor is a hounskull?
Althought there is some very few example of klappvisiers used in the early 15thc i'm thinking about those, but they're still quite marginal at that time
Klappvisiers refer to the mount, not the shape of the visor itself
the central forehead hinge is "klappvisier" but the visor shape can be a hounskull, or flat ect
Wow that’s a really interesting design, almost like a sallet or barbute
yeah that's essentially what many people call proto/early barbute
Ohhhhh, thanks for correcting me
(still technically a bascinet tho, but like, you can see where the "barbute" design is coming from)
Yeah
Those are mostly showing Mongolias iirc
omg visored barbute... for honor was right all along....
not what I was referring to
still cant find it
john burgundy
Yeah so beautiful
yep im searching messages on this server mentioning polish things
Wawel is very beautifull i highly recommend it for rennesiance period lovers

Whats the thing I circle?
I thought its croissant of plate but that thing would have cover his arm pit

making this guy in hs
Also this cuirass (based off of Ralph Fitzherbert iirc)
why faulds if it's already fully covered?
English armour stuff (possibly for fashion)
ofc it adds more protection over faulds for functional purposes
1483
Ah i see, was this common(or at least used) in other parts of the world?
happy england man
i've only ever seen it in england
france maybe
I remember something similar in flanders, actually (ofc iirc)
but yeah def more "common" in england
actually nvm it was something else
they should add dunk and egg
flem
did he just say that his last name is burger?
Excusez -moi, est -ce qu 'il vient dire que son nom de famille est…. BURGER?!
Would be Bourgeois in french
When I was in high school the principal name was bourgeois.. let that sink it
Mf was in college with the queen of England
French armour?
Just got invited to do a small reenactment event, but it's the type of reenactment event where all the kit has to be next to 100% accurate and you're supposed to stay authentic even during the night.
banger
...
I've got a friend, who's in his 70s, and knows basically everyone when it comes to armour research and has made bits of armour for tobias capwell and others.
Hes invited me to be his squire, and he's lending me his suit of armour. 😳
Yeah man.
I do have a mega awesome blackened ciurass but unfortunately I dont yet have the rest of a suit to go with it
I need to repair his leg harness a bit though because since I'm the only guy he knows who really fits them I've been borrowing them already for ages.
Did you reverse search it or do you know him 😵💫
Goddamn he does know everyone
He saw the blackened gothic courass I got and described it as "rather gorgeous" which as far as Im concerned is basically the highest seal of approval 😂
that shits still pretty damn good all around
You wouldn't believe how much armour he has ngl
And he knows, EVERYTHING
making me feel like he has an entire damn garniture
He basically has rooms full of armour bits, and I mean there were bits of armour he couldn't find in amongst the huge amounts he has lmao
The guy is like actually my hero
so your telling me he basically has multiple harnesses in a way
that's pretty damn cool
probably can afford to lend his stuff away
Well that's his main suit I believe, but unfortunately he's too old now to use the armour himself really, since me and him basically have the same unusual build he lends me bits from time to time
damn..
Aye he just does firearms now because he's like 72
I mean his wife handcrafts custom arming doulets among many other things so you can imagine how into history they are 😵💫
reminds me of the couple that went on the metropolitan museum to show their sickass Milanese harness
actually.. the met
In the second part of this January 21, 2012 program, Armor Jeffrey D. Wasson demonstrates how people dressed in armor. While the process requires an assistant, the armor's careful design allows for a wide variety of movement, even when fully dressed. Narrated by Dirk Breiding, Assistant Curator, Arms and Armor Department, The Metropolitan Muse...
BTW, I've posted this multiple times before, but I can't help myself, this is my ciurass. It's partly custom made for me partly not, the rest of the suit will be made by me.
you intend to base the later harness off the statue?
St florian
right on the money
Yep
its looking pretty nice
It's not exact to the statue, especially since the faulds have four segments, since the guy made custom faulds for me to make up for my height
close enough
When you're 6'5 everything has to be altered ngl
Or straight up made from scratch which is why I've been making hose from scratch
its a good thing that there's a lot of stuff regarding making garments out there really
I've been using the company of St George website
This was my main suit for a while, although those metal legs are Chris Franklin's, they're the same as the ones in the other picture.
Much more franken armour overall
at what age did soldiers usually retire
that is quite young
thats your mothers/fathers brother's status
73779 results from searching willie in the discord
i think soldiers usually retired at 13
Mean damage to the side
What kind of weapon does that?
it was claimed as damage from the museum but it could also be just deterioration
that would be crazy if it was weapon damage
It’s on a straight line and there’s little damage elsewhere
My fav armorer made another banger last year - cuirass and croissants for Anton Stark by Elthien, based on portuguese sources
gussets !!
love anton's kit
PEAK!
i love gussets
i see him
dope as fuck bro
these photos weren't loading for me so here they are
I like this one too
the red leather is so pretty
whats the specific word for this kind of bascinet helmet ?
isn't it like houndskull?
might be wrong, but its similar
bascinet
churburg 16
🤷
found it
i mean the eye slits , is there a name or style ?
houndskull pig-faced bascinet
oh yeah it is churburg style
pretty sure thats just called grill
oh ok thanks a bunch
i was wondering if there was a name to it
This particular bascinet is based on Wien A12 and A24 (Wien referring to the Wien Karlsplatz museum in Vienna)
it kinda looks franken
Oh and also this one that got excavated in Ukraine

I'm pretty sure a24 is homogeneous since it belonged to a former Duke of Tirol but that is something to consider
hope we can get some painted stuff
Peak fluted western style by Jeffrey Wasson
It's very different
Huh, wonder how it got there
Because they also used bascinets
how do i upload a pic here im clicking on the plus and its not giving me the option to upload a pic
talk more, you don'y have image perms
here at least
oh damn
I see
well how is your day going then
me when im not real apparently
JUST LET ME UPLOAD PICS OF RAPIERS
I WANT RAPIERS IN THE GAME
I UNDERSTAND ITS NOT FUCTIONAL FOR ARORED COMBAT BUT THEY LOOK COOL AND COULD HAVE FUN BENDY MECANICS
not with the ram shortages
sigh
Hey so basically, rapiers could absolutely be functional for armored combat, as for early war rapiers were used alongside full harnesses
However, what I imagine you're picturing when talking about rapiers, don't fit the game's timeframe
i mean its 1475 so its elizibitheian era so i was just thinking rapiers for that time
1475 is not Elizabethan era tho?
It is NOT the Elizabethian era bro 😭
they would only be found or crafted in the higher up ranks despite being best used against peasants
Is this the troll channel
oh mb i typed in 1745 😭
That’s not the Elizabethan era either
The elizbathen era is from the mid 1500s to the start of the 1600s
When the actual queen Elizabeth was queen
It stopped when she died
ok look idk what the hell i typed in but i typed something into google and it said elizabethan era so that my bad
What form of rapier would make sense are like
Swords with finger-rings around the guard
"Spada da lato" type shit
Which are more akin to early sideswords IIRC
Ya
Than rapier
look either way i want my damn rapier in the game
Tho im maybe the least reliable someone might have better knowledge
There’s your rapier
i want to be able to jab and slash a little better than what i can already do
there ya go
yeah id be totally cool with that
Spada da lato just making side sword in Italian tbh so
ikr
You can very easily make that sword that’s coming out of the sheathe in game rn
With the rings ?
The one with the simple cross guard
well yeah but using alt and shit you still dont jab and slash like you would with a rapier
didn’t even notice the one with two rings i was focused on the one on the ground
unless im using the wrong kind of sword
They all have rings
Onion
Oh shit how did I miss that
i got the picture somewhere else but would this harness fit ingame
Didn’t Ramsay make a 3D model of that one recently?
what should i make to fit what i want rn
Hold on
dude holy aura btw
Sword with small handle and long blade
He only made the cuirass iicr
Same thinf
wait could we get that in different colors and shit?
God if i won the lottery im not telling anyone but there WILL be signs
There it is
literally
Ramsay the goat
Wdym?
Best bannerlord modeler of all time
big fan of how the plackart just looks like a fancy jewelry necklace
like if that came to the game could we get armour with different color trims and shit cus that would be swaggy as hell
YES THAT WOULD BE SO COOL
Type shit you see in franco-burgundian art tbh, try to look up the caesar tapestry
could you send pictures for the whole class
In it, caesar has stones embeded in the armor
I'm not on my pc so I can't rn
Yeah true
i have stuff i want to post but i feel like most of them have already been posted + i might get fried for it
caesar knew absolute swag ball dude
dude do it
so what if its alr been posted
99% sure these are already posted ones
ingame im rocking a barbute with my milanese set its Really Swag
Pastrana ?
I think so
cool short(er) pollaxe in there
@terse bronze you think this will work for a rapier style sword?
yeah those ones with the very big blade are neat
Guard is a bit huge
fair
i was trying to balence it towards the base of the blade so i made it a bit big
cus i want a good long one handed blade that i dont have to fight the wrist flop to use
thats basically all i want man
i want to be able to 🤺 "have at you" type shi
wait it actually kinda works
Anyone have references from around this period (15th century) or a bit earlier of serbian plate armor? I know its mostly italian but i need the references
Holy guard
at this point you might aswell use the guard as a makeshift blunt weapon
Where is this from
I meant the armor model
Is this just someone that created this or is it something from the game ?
Looks really good
1460, Flanders, Utrecht, Bibliothèque royale de Belgique KBR Ms II 7619
awesome
Wanna ask this again
oh sorry didn’t see this
someone created it
it isnt ingame
Okay
Ya
made of 4130 hardened steel.
shiny ass helmet
mirror polish that mf
does this armor fit into the game? its from around the same time period
No
I believe it is a modern reproduction. (educational guess)
the picture i took from wikipedia says its from a military museum but nothing further
I would recommend staying away from wikipedia
why?
generally it spreads misinfo or just very unefficient with the sources they got directly
so where should i look for the sources?
i see thanks
For Serbian and Balkan stuff you should definitely check Đorđe Aranđelović's art
nice plume holder
what period is his art from? does he do any set period (ex. 14th century) or just random ones? i'm looking more specifically 15th and 14th century armor pieces so just wanna make sure
It's mid to late 15th C. He also has art from the late 14th century
oh its exactly what i need, thanks
It's from a museum in Belgrade Serbia
The armor is dubious but there's some cool stuff there
It's in the military museum in Kalemegdan castle
is this a flemish sallet archer helmet ?
i think thats burgandy
flemish has a smaller snout but idk if the picture i was replying to had the same feature
franco-burgundian
not universal for flemish sallets mind you
so whats the diff between burgundian and flemish style sallets ?
Virtually none tbf
Aren't tassets uncommon for gothic style, is it more of an alla tedesca style? The cuirass on the second pic, that is.
these medieval guys used to be snatched 💝
you need not delineate every helmet into certain countries tbh
most things used in france and burgundy and flanders are semi-interchangeable to a degree
"How the bald lady sent a letter to the Temple of Apollo so that she might receive an answer about her daughter Polyxena and how she came to the temple, where the priest ordained that she should marry her son, and she married him to the son of Duke Nestor of Pylos. After the death of Troilus, menacingly, with mourning and lamentation, the Trojan duke, the most noble, took his wife and his children and all the people of the city, and they all say that they have lost Hector."
damn the more I look at this manuscript the more fucked up it is
'
Milanese?
when the boys jokingly light a candle on your head but it legit just stays there
well yeah
after you see enough of the extant pieces you recognize what the armour was based off of
was there a general area fringed hoods were used more commonly
cuz i feel like most of the thinghs i see are german
A lot of polish sources show them and in germany/bohemia i'd say
that would be lovely
give me a few
the polish source is more just a "hood", not really "fringed" or of cloth bevors
thank u bor.
Augusto Boer Bront (Magister Armorum) jousting helm based on German sources from circa 1460-1480 (wip)
new post from this guy is always great
lets just make a time machine and get the references ourselves
Wow is he making that?
See posts, photos and more on Facebook.
Thanks
well this is peak af
Holy shi, they have a temple of me?!
erotic pollaxe picture
I know this is probably outdated for the game’s time period but I really wonder why later form of armets didn’t have that “teeth”. Maybe I haven’t search enough.
Modern reproduction btw I believe
I imagine because they realise just using breaths is a lot easier and more efficient
I see
same mf arguing that adding a hounskull would make sense because imagine if a peasant looted it and gave it to his grandson it just makes sense!!!
Half sword should add houndskulls but they are falling apart as you play and on any impact it just shatters like paper
There’s another hounskull thread on the Reddit
Gem
yeah saw it
it's crazy
wait so is it meant to be realistic or no
dumbass
Yes
Half Sword is meant to be a very realistic and very historically accurate game
in an ideal society this man would be flayed head to foot by a tall dude in a black hood
That is the point of the game
or perhaps beheaded with a big scary axe
sadly we have no hounskull despite it being a beautiful helmet
I think the better argument for houndskulls would be "idc they look cool to me" than the stupid ass peasant argument
sad that the game takes place like a few decades after they stopped using hounskulls?
a bit more thana few decades but yeah
didnt they stop using it around the early 1400's? i'd say thats a few decades
y'know, i'd much rather the "old helmets" theye are gonna add be like, earlier sallets/transitional
i just want them to add a saber lmao but its unlikely
were there sabers in 1475 ?
probably horrible for vision
Definitely, but I don't think there were some in Western Europe
interestingly in a 1436 austrian inventory lists 2 'haydnische messer' that probably refer to something akin if not essentially sabres - heidenisch [literally just heathen] in a cultural context usually refers to arabic/oriental
that second one literally says saber
"Saber, Mongolian or Hungarian, XIII or older-"
Yeah, they're all sabers
I said that they do kinda look like messers
you said messers 😭
Hahaha no worries
These are all Hungarian though if I'm correct
Were Hungarians considered heathens?
apparently?
since whoever curated that sword and wrote that text specifically calls it Hungarian
i realize i read the text for 30 not 31, which is the sword in the picture
i wonder where that is cause thats all in Serbian or maybe a similar enough language
sometimes the term could be applied to them yes 👍
they have tendency in later decades inventories to specify if something is e.g. hungarian specifically though
can you guys add owls
there's only one armet with teeth
it doesnt seem to be a trend
this is really cool
Ngl that make it even cooler and unique
the harness has edgy toothy decor in more places too
Amazing
This is the description for item #30
The sword picture is item #31
i realized that after the fact 💔
Is this armor accurate? Its some sort of italian armor, also the knight guy is wearing a sallet i just didnt know how to draw that (ignore the very vibrant colors my stuff sucks for coloring)
The proportions don't look exaggerated enough
Yeah ik they’re off a bit im still learning but i wonder if i did the armor good
i dont think this is a reference
Wrong channel
Not very well fitted
this is gonna be nuts when finished
who's the artist?
Andreas Paul Muscat
much appreciated
hey! by the way, where do i see the mods ?
the workshops
Can we somehow get a saber in the game officially or is it just impossible
Nexusmods
in google chrome ?
Yup
Refer to general catfish next time this channel is for armor references for the game i think
can u help me install a mod if it doesnt disturb u

What are these pauldrons omg
winged pauldrons
been trying to find this for a while thanks
typical italian pauldrons
I was too and decided to post it here and subscribe to her channel lmao
you can really call them whatever since they dont actually have a historical name iirc
ofc but just saying 'pauldron' is a bit vague for nowadays
if i ask you to show me a pauldron that could mean almost anything
if i ask you to show me a winged pauldron
you know exactly what i mean
also depends on what you mean by "winged pauldron" ofc
and what you consider to be a pauldron
i guess
but that same thing applies to just calling everything a pauldron
it doesnt need to be a historical name to just refer to it as that
I completely agree
I've refered to them as wings in the past or what dave said
(considering that they overlap eachother)
Scottish claymore
that ones not even based off of an extant one before 1600
I’m not an expert sorry
If anything, these may Possibly fit. I believe they line up with Irish and Scottish effigies from the mid/early 16th century
similar to this one (Ca.1540s)
I think your talking more about the specific Scandinavian helmet from the 900s
Like this?
Yeah
It unfortunately is way out of period
Where can I find historically accurate photos?
“developed italian pauldron”
if you really want you can call it that instead of the common name for it
literally every pauldron has wings lol that’s what makes a pauldron a pauldron
“angel wing” is a colloquial term for these italian ones but truthfully you can just say italian pauldron
2013 barely started
Almost like we had a new years celebration
looks like italian couter reinforce + polder mitton - perhaps partially inspired by these drawings?

there are also those in the KHM
the first one (part of S. II) is called italian (not originally belonging to the rest of the netherlandish armour) in bruno and gamber's catalogue of the KHM
Is it possible that a visored version of this open faced franco burgundian sallet might look like the sallet I drew at the bottom right? Sorry if this isnt the right place to ask
Well, there is the famous neapolitan armor with heavily decorated poldermiton at least, but it would be probably better to ask either Dario or Alberto directly for the resources used.
could you share this neopolitan armour?
Two more in the style, sadly without surviving arms defences.
Possibly used for the "neapolitan" style of joust - giostra al tavoliere, which in essence is that one of the guys is sitting in the place while the other attacks him and then they switch roles.
oh so it may be 'neopolitan' on account of the style of joust it may have been used for? (or its owner as the Sanseverino's were neopolitan?) as I believe the armour itself is Missaglia, along with the two others you posted in venice, which had me confused
do you have a source where they say that?
I ask because all I've read about it is that its owner, Gaspare Sanseverino, was sent by Ludovico Sforza to Innsbruck to joust "alla italiana" and then only managed to really joust with Maximilian's armourer maybe among others in a conventional way according to the reports before leaving that cuirass there
I base it of discussion with Augusto who is my source for italian stuff - i might check on later
See posts, photos and more on Facebook.
Tldr: it's a bit of a speculation, the suits match description of the style used for the joust, and that Gaspare himself was from Naples.
huh that is very fascinating - a very cool lead, thanks for sharing
Thanks
this is awesome
more than likely I'd say

this blue armor looks cool
I've never seen blued armour that light before
i mean i never seen a dragon like the one depicted in the image. the blueing is probably just exaggerated for aesthetics but it'd still look really cool if it was adapted to something more realistic
blued armour looks like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiTaTVKF3Ug
How to blue armour.
Bluing armour is not the great mystery that it first appears.
By applying a consistent heat across the surface of a polished piece of material you will cause it to heat up. As the material passes through a certain temperature range it will change colour.
At about 280C (540F) the material will reach a blue/purple colour. By...
Oil blackening techniques are likely myriad, but these are two techniques I use regularly enough and one that I don't practice nearly as much as I ought to.
After separate conversations with two curators of armour in the Royal Armouries and Wallace Collection it appears that blackened armour may have been more prevalent than, I previously thoug...
this looked uncomfortably close to poo
or like this
polder mitton?
i love blued armor so much
im confused
the blueing is probably just exaggerated for aesthetics?
it's a painting
it's very clearly not meant to be very realistic
the artist probably just exaggerated the look of the blueing because it looked nice
this isnt even exaggerated for blued armour
thats not true
the armour is also all'antica and is supposed to illustrate in manner of the ancients
what makes you think that its not meant to be very realistic?
yeah
also the cuirass doesn't look too fantastical, just the helmet really
the helmet is what made me conclude it to be allantica, not the cuirass.
its similar to these guys
in which their leg harnesses aren't too off either
whyd she get stabbed
Im half awake and i thought this was a helmet visor
lmfao
I didn't know willie could get all geared up like that
wdym its pauldrons inspired on the "Sanseverino armor"
repro of SNZ LM-16807
beauties
How effective were these pauldrons?
I like the couters he has on, and the vambrace
very
That has to be restricting movement no way that wouldnt be a problem
They do slide over each other. You'd be surprised how much mobility those armors would give you
plate armor gives you wings
iirc they do to an extent but u can still do everything you need to do
i know how flexible armor is and how much mobility they have but like they look really huge and it seems like a problem
the size could be very beneficial here though. through a) flex in the sheets and b) bigger movement radii that might just give more wiggle room
note: this is just me theorizing. I am no expert, but looked at it and made some (in my head) logical conclusions
so take it with a grain of salt
oh wow
modern repro
they just overlap when this happens
I wish we got more cuirasses like the barons cause it looks pretty nice
Like golden cuirass, also the ability to forge our own armor would be neat but i can only hope
And also what are things on the barons cuirass where the arms go it has some unique details that no other armor has
they did restrict movement lmao
Pietro Monte LITERALLY says they restrict movement
that they constantly touch and interfere
all armor restricts movement
its very use essentially proves its effectiveness
and yes, it was a problem
yes, after you self-limit what you "need" to do
"The pauldrons that cover the shoulders and shoulderblades should extend over the back of the cuirass toward the spine. But they should not be as they are commonly worn, covering the entire shoulderblade, so that one laps over the other, and they constantly touch and interfere with each other, adding weight without benefit."
truth nuke
on the other hand, having the additional length means when you raise ur arm, you wont expose the back to a sword thrust

dictionary: "adequate to accomplish a purpose; producing the intended or expected result."
Yall what thickness would quality (probably stainless) steel or titanium need to be to be puncture proof against heavy stabs?
We need this Longsword Blade Type
Look at the blade
we need that blade
There's many types of blade
we need Type XVIII blades
its widely used in 1400s
yet somehow its not in the game
i think we do have
What you say is type XVIII in the game isnt type XVIII
i think we no have
Look
No!
we need Blade Type XVIII
we only got XVa
not XVIII
i think we do have
@sly trench do we have?
Its XVa not XVIII
Look at the blade
just look
it has different shape
XV is for thrust
XVIII is for cut and Thrust

zo yeah we no have
its a very important question
so you have chosen death... 💔
i feel like frank is okay with it
oops
@cold yew XVIII doesn’t fit the period as closely as XV and XVa
XVIII is mid 14th to early 15th
only the later subtypes fit
will frank say anything
probably not
maybe if you ask nicely
i did ask nicely

no its not
The Oakeshott Type XVIII longsword (and its variants XVIIIa-c) was prevalent during the 15th century, specifically thriving between roughly 1400 and 1500. It was designed for the late medieval, transitional period, optimized for both cutting and thrusting against improved plate armor. These swords represent the apex of 15th-century versatile, tapered, diamond-section blades.

Primary Period: 15th Century (c. 1400s–1500s).
Context: Used heavily in the late Middle Ages and early Renaissance.
Key Characteristics: Features a broad base for cutting, tapering rapidly to an awl-shaped point for penetrating armor gaps (e.g., maille or plate joints).
Subtype Usage: Type XVIIIa was popular in the 15th century as a balanced tool, while XVIIIb often featured long grips for two-handed use in the mid-15th century.
Its since 1400s-1500

which robot did you ask for this explanation

its all over europe
what you mean its its since mid 14th century to 15th century
it start in 15th century man
not end in 15th century
i typically look toward this https://www.albion-swords.com/articles/oakeshott-typology.htm

The Type XVIIIb, XVIIIc, XVIIId, XVIIIe
Exist on the game Periods
that means Its on the Game's Era

might be a stupid question but were secrets ever worn under a chaperone at one point?
specifically odd request but, does anyone have any artistic representations of those large flower shaped pauldron reinforcements?
what do you mean by "secrets"? skullcaps?
yeah
i dont believe there's any evidence for it
could you doodle one
@vocal vale i could’ve sworn you sent something of the sort in here once, unless im tweaking…
unless i’m thinking of couters? it’s been a minute since i saw the image.
oh yeah nah i’m tweaking you didn’t send it.
