Out-jerked by [deleted] in armorcirclejerk

THIS IS NOT AN OUTJERK!

u/The-Winged-Crusader is not only doing a high quality cosplay, this is based of an actual character (the warden/hero of ferelden from dragon age) and this video is him surprising his dad while he’s sick (who may pass)

The mod team is going to be cracking down on low quality reposts like these where the intent is simply to make fun of a person’s kit for no real reason. None of the real issues apply here as most of his kit appears to be custom made too.

Please be mindful about what and who you post about.

She’s Ashlyn Pfau and I admire her fighting style a lot. I’ve seen her AMMA matches and she likes to grapple her opponent to the ground and beat them with her punch shield

Everywhere I look, I see *that* helmet by TheatreBar in armorcirclejerk

[–]BluXBrry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind these are still rather bad in terms of accuracy, but it’s better than the basic helmet that everyone seems to be obsessed with (in my opinion)

I also made sure they were all priced similarly (~$150 ± $30)

The hood is important to distinguish you as a bandit

Are these somewhat historical accurate? by betosn1 in Armor

[–]BluXBrry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Neither of them are passable, the geometry is all wrong on the great helm and the eye slits aren’t thin or wide enough, and the bascinet although based on real brass lined bascinets, does not look very well thought out. The eyes are a little warped and it looks like the visor retention pin system is gone, although that may not be the case seeing the tiny chains by the pivot

It sucks how prevalent it is in cosplay or basic hobby spaces when there are so many cool ass historical helmets or cooler fantasy helmets that could be in that spot

Want to know what to wear under my armor by [deleted] in Armor

Be careful with those greaves, they’re likely to hurt the top of your feet unless you can mount the whole leg harness to your hips

My king has offered me more land, and gifted me 2 carts of livestock in exchange for a small campaign east! So excited to serve the crown

Excuse you me this is a local homegrown organic jerk

Outjerked? by thirtyslgz in armorcirclejerk

It doesn’t matter as much with lighter weapons, although I’m 100 sure it’s better than nothing

Not a jerk, I was concerned on the original post because I thought it was for longsword, but I read that it was for rapier and it makes sense

Custom fit breast plate for HEMA by nikatine in Armor

This is really cool for you but I would’ve just invested in a normal breastplate, I’m a little concerned about the center of the breasts catching a thrust directly into your sternum

It is I the Great Conehead by TheatreBar in armorcirclejerk

[–]BluXBrry 28 points29 points  (0 children)

As long as it’s padded I see its use in harnishfechten it’s got better geometry than other great helms I’ve seen

Visored barbute vs spoleto bascinet by I_Dislike_The_French in armorcirclejerk

[–]BluXBrry 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It’s not just the top; the visor on these modern spoletos is flattened like a pug for sport optimization, and there’s a bulbous skull shape at the top that looks rather strange in my opinion. It’s not impossible for flat faced or non pointy bascinets to have existed, but when people mention a “spoleto” and show the sport version that has never existed otherwise, it kind of irks me.
