I don't like sallets look.

>>64460403 (OP)
For me it's early 17th century cuirassiers.
>>64460458
Safe for an ambush situation? Hardly.

>>64460695
saar

>>64460717
Kinda looks like a chinlet, IMO

>>64460725
Very feminine, wide-hipped silhouette.
For me it's chainmail and 13th-14th century aesthetics

Euroasia steppe mystery armor

Y'all niggas doing too much.

Stop being a fat fag. Although, with enough money even your gut can become fully enclosed.

Sallets look gay and dumb.

1544 is best. Nice color, stocky but not obese like 1540, practical design for riding.

>>64460458
Jump him with like 10 of your friends.

>>64460695
I think I saw this guy running a youtube channel on sword fighting.

>>64460403 (OP)
This is what peak is.

>>64461842
He's an all-around attention whore.

>>64460695
It's basically the saar equivalent of fantasy d&d weapons. You'd have to be Indian to be intimidated by that

>>64460695
>chainmail
>matchlock
having the two together makes it pretty obvious he doesn't plan on actually using either one.

>>64460458

Intimidate enemies with your hunting prowess by wearing your boar tusk collection into battle

>>64461635
I don't know shit about armored combat, but those skirts seem real fucking impractical.

>>64465907
Iirc the first one is a cavalry armor, hence why the skirt is fixed and has the cutout where the horse would go. The second one is for foot combat and is flexible

>>64461749
>>64461635
Due to the extent of its arm/leg coverage, and its careful articulation and novel design, every expert agrees that 1520 (RAII.6) is best. It's a masterpiece that's almost unbelievably good.

needs a tabard or surcoat
how are you supposed to tell if this is one of the friendly suits of armor or one of the suits of armor you're supposed to be poking sharp things into the gaps on

>>64465907
The third from the left was specifically made for a 1-on-1 foot combat between Henry VIII and the King of France that was scheduled to take place at a tournament/diplomatic summit (picrel) and that would have been fought on specially-prepared ground so as long as you could walk across a tennis court wearing it, it was practical enough.

Typical geardo.

>>64460458
He was born and raised to fight and kill, his body shows he never wanted for sustenance and protein as a child. You are a scrofulous pleb raised on insufficient quantities of turnips and gruel, it shows, also you barely know the sharp end of your spear from your arse. He's going to cave your skull in, and you should feel grateful for it.
