>>Bucket helms were not actually very good helmets, but pretty slick.

Why's that?

as a helm they're fairly effective but their instable by design, because instead of being tight form fitted and shallow the helm's deep

Hot, heavy, obscured your vision and were shit at deflecting blows.

didn't help him too much

I was describing the look on the helmet's "face"

Good taste lad

Well, Yes, its a helmet made by Ugo.

what dod you expect in the background, Kittens?

I would post some of Ugo's corsetry, but this is a blue board.

Suffice it to say he makes some spectacularly pretty, and exceptionally pervy art, as well as being one of the best armourers alive.

He's a good bloke.

Have a Dargen great helm by Jeff Hildebrandt, instead of Ugo-Porn. Its nearly porn, after all.

>tfw you will never supply your men with such a helmet

...is that actually a pufferfish?

less than 30 is a bit over-optimistic, but its certainly not 300 either.

the earliest great helms are in the likes of the Maciejowski bible, C1240, and they survive in use till about 1350, in the form of the Pembridge Helm.

they evolve during that time, developing a more conical upper section and curved top, from the flat helms of the Maciejowski era.

if you're referring to just the flat topped helms, like the dargen, then yes, those do only last a shorter period, but its not 30 years.


anyhow, have another helm type entirely.

Vendel era Germanic helms are objectively the best.

Honorable mention to Slavic war masks and Roman cavalry masks.

Literally fucking Rohan

Slavs had some cool mask helmets

>that glorious moment when crests came back into fashion

I always thought Rome was overrated, but their cavalry masks were sp00ky
