come on guys

Fucking 10/10 sallet

So you'd like to go to war in a prop from some Wagner opera?

It's a shame Greeks only ever seem to be depicted with corinthian helmets.

...

...

Hmm

Did they actually wear those wings on their helms in battle?

>see a really fucking awesome helmet/weapon/suit of armor
>discover it was just for ceremony

There is no worse feel

The best.

How effective would this thing be in real life?

I really don't know much about late medieval combat, but I suspect that it isn't sloped enough to make a blow from above glance away. The massive slit also looks like a prime target for a thrust.

...

I know that feel.

In 200 years, will the Don be called, Trump the Great? Perhaps worshipped as a god? Perhaps, Trump Caesar Augustus Mexicanicus Maximus?

Its round so it deflects really well. Though i think being that big doesent help much.

Kek

What the fuck.

Obvious b8.

At least samurai helmets with horns are genuinely historical and are actually aesthetic.

well some dark souls armor could be very effective in real life

>Brits
>made in Germany

It vaguely resembles armour that could have been worn at foot combat tournaments. For actual field combat it would likely be too heavy, offer too poor visibility and not be mobile enough though.

>picks that thracian helmet

Reminds me of pic related.

what do you know about barbutes? when and where were they used?

Italy. Mid to late 15th century.

Thanks. I always associate them with D&D and RPGs in general since that's the first place I ever saw them.

They appear and then vanish again. Presumably because having a giant hole forming a perfect channel directly to where your eyes are, isn't so great an idea.

Yeah how dumb, they should have just brought this back.

It was my father's major bummer, and his father's before him

Give the Nazis all the shit you want but they had a fucking great aesthetic

That's not an M1 helmet.

>you will never take to the field alongside Kamen Rider

Knight feels: the helmet

Ayy Lmao

>Dem glasses
10/10 but seriously what the fuck

hope you're not in for any extended battles in that thing. Although it obviously wouldn't actually prevent breathing, fresh air vs a closed helmet must make a hell of a difference in prolonged wearability.

bretty neat. Great all around protection. Limited peripheral vision though.

pretty based

Yeah and the solution to that is that to tip up the helmet for a second to get some air

and some arrows

bruh all you have to tip up is to your mouth, which is not very high up. Just stop, let your other allies pass by you, bow your head and tip up your helmet. if you still get hit by some arrows then you just have bad luck and your enemy must be very accurate.

Not sure about the helmet specifically, but it seems like the chest would just slope blows straight into the crevasses (which is also the main complaint about boob-plate armours)

Just cut some air holes in the front like loads of other helmets have

theres already a big slit down the middle.

I see it now. Totally missed that originally.

honest mistake, gap was probably more prominent before being in the ground

I'm sorry senpai, they were detachable.

...

It was a gift for Henry the 8th. Seriously.

Copying the greats

Out of my way, you fucking peasants.

>GOAT helmet thread
Im pretty damn happy with my current ACL/SCA helm. Pic related. Just had some new plumes made.

Its a tournament helm. Its supposed to be goofy and grotesque.

The grotesque armet of Henry VIII.

...

To show off the craftsmans talent (they are just like real examples of medieval glasses only in metal) and therefore Maximilian's excellent taste. Up close you can see that they even engraved stubble on its chin.
