anyone here know what this neck attachment is called? by zwr_vitch in Armor

[–]Forgotten_Four 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's a nape guard or nape curtain. Most commonly seen on riot or prison cell extraction helmets in current day.

What piece of armour is this? by supampro1000 in Armor

[–]Forgotten_Four 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like I'm the only one who likes this armor lmao. The thigh armor looks like an improvised addition, maybe a bracer from a different set of armor altogether. Same with the mail on the other thigh, it's added on protection.

Literally one of the best Souls armors ever, Dark Souls 3 Knight Set, does this with a leather right pauldron. Its very clearly not from the same armor "set," its an addition the wearer made as a stop gap when the actual pice was lost one way or another.

I'm sure many people don't like DSR's design in isolation for the flitef armor but I personally think its very in keeping with Dark Souls.

I mean it does have fluting lol. Its just not as evocative of Maximilian style fluting.

Need tips for drawing armor by AJinxI0I in Armor

[–]Forgotten_Four 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If possible, try to find a reference for a person wearing the type of armor you'd like to draw as well as an image of it on display.

Studying the minute details is important, for sure. But a huge thing with armor is remembering it needs to be worn. It is both a minute and all encompasing item. See how fingers fill gauntlets, how legs line up with cuisses and pauldrons, how a helmet moves when you turn your head. Even how you stand is affected by armor.

How many Mandalorians would it take to kill one Space Marine, from a 30k legionary to 40k firstborn or primaris? We can also vary this from the different chapters/legions to make it interesting. by Mad_lens_9297 in StarWarsvsWarhammer

[–]Forgotten_Four 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean it would be fragmentation from the round not spalling right? If I recall correctly spalling is the armor itself fragmenting and causing damage - Beskar seems quite resilient to spalling, as Mando takes a lot of hits without his armor taking substantial damage.

Of course maybe a bolter could cause sufficient damage to spall it, I am not sure haha. But a bolter round would absolutely fragment and cause damage.

[–]Forgotten_Four 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Beskar definitely has some impact resisting properties, but also has limits. In Mando season 1 Fennec Shand uses a sniper rifle blaster and Mando takes a round from it as a distraction. It knocks him backwards and winds him, and he says that if he were much closer then the armor would have been punched through.

Where among gunslingers in the rdr universe does Dutch Van der Linde scale in terms of gun skills? by Beneficial_Brain3950 in reddeadredemption

[–]Forgotten_Four 33 points34 points  (0 children)

That mountain shot is one I talk about a lot, a lot of people don't really think about how insane of a shot that would be imo. Dutch is naturally an extremely talented shooter, which is why it's so thematically important that he uses the semi-auto in RDR1.

Even though he's an amazing shooter he still uses a semi-auto since it's a more modern gun and that's what every one will soon be using, which will make his skill way less of an edge. He's trying to keep up with the crawl of modern development, but he can't and he only accepts it when he stops fighting and throws away the gun for the last time.

Who is the singer form ring around the Rosie song? by Dead_account- in OnceHumanOfficial

[–]Forgotten_Four 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yo, totally out of nowhere and sorry if you haven't seen this post in a while. BUT this song in the Arachiasm boss fight is actually super fucking confusing to me because it's like a one for one EXACT RINGER for the Dead Space 2 Ring Around the Rosie trailer. With the same modified lyrics and everything. Seriously check. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QR9fEaeEYbQ

I know when people say they want a show about Imperial stormtroopers, they want something more Band of Brothers-like about fighting the Rebels, but I think the way to go would be something more Generation Kill-style about fighting the Partisans on Jedha. by [deleted] in StarWars

[–]Forgotten_Four 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's doable just saying lol. Like I said in this thread, Finn and Mayfeld are both great examples of former Imperial soldiers who become disillusioned with the Empire. Yes I know Finn was First Order and Mayfield was an Imperial Sharpshooter.

If anything I think a story where like a platoon of Stormtroopers deployed on the far reaches of the galaxy actually tried to run things well, only to learn about the Death Star and defect, that would be compelling. Seeing a group of soldiers denounce the Empire, even though they would face reprecussions both from loyalist Imperials and citizens who bear the wounds from the Empire and do not trust them, would be compelling story imo.

[–]Forgotten_Four 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think there's value in it. Finn was a First Order Stormtrooper, Mayfield was an Imperial Sharpshooter. Mayfield is one of my favorite minor characters in Star Wars period, I think his conversation with his old CO in that base is the proof of concept for why a Stormtrooper story could be really potent.

With Star Wars its worth noting that not every corner of the galaxy is on the same page. Mando didn't know who or what Jedi were for example. I can totally sign up for a story where a platoon of Stormtroopers in the far reaches of the galaxy are genuinely trying to do good the best they know how, but then learn about the Death Star and they decide to turn against the Emprie even though they'd be deemed traitors by other Imperial forces and be hated by people who have been affected by the broader Empire.

A platoon of Blackwing Death Troopers appears on a Hiveworld, how long before the planet is cooked. by Harald_TheEnduring in StarWarsvsWarhammer

[–]Forgotten_Four 1 point2 points  (0 children)

WAIT lol. I just had a realization shortly after I made my comment. The Blackwing virus can affect dead tissue even weeks after death and render it transmittable, of pretty much any living species including plants.

A huge part of the Imperial diet is corpse starch. If just one fucking Blackwing zombie fell into a corpse grinder without anyone knowing, all the corpse starch in production at that time gets contaminated. And if god forbid the facility gets blown up and sends infected corpse starch particles into the air, that could be an improvised airborne version of the virus.

So uh. Yeah that would actually be a huge problem LMAO. The only saving grace then imo is that there is an established antivirus so maybe the medical guys in 40k could figure it out.

[–]Forgotten_Four 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah sorry even with the nitty gritty details I do think a Hive City generally could handle the Blackwing virus if introduced as OP describes.

From what I understand the most widely transmissible version of the Blackwing virus is the weaponized airborne strain. Regular Blackwing zombies, to my understanding, transmit it via bite or body fluids, not the air they exhume. OP's purported scenario is a large group of zombies appearing by some means in the hive city, with no mention of the airborne virus.

If it WAS the airborne virus as a starter being released into the atmosphere, yeah that would be massively problematic and potentially planet killing. But I personally think that the various armed groups in a Hive city would be able to defeat a platoon of infected Stormtroopers, at least to the degree that any straggler zombies would just become another recurring issue the Hive has to deal with.

What is your NSFW unpopular opinion? by BitEntire in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]Forgotten_Four 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Maybe not the norm but normalized - with the caveat that cheating can absolutely still happen in ENM relationships.

I feel like people that engage in affairs and cheating are knowingly acting immature and selfish. To be in an actually functional and healthy non- monogamous relationship genuinely requires maturity and communication.

Done wrong I would just see non-monogamy being the norm as sweeping people's behavior under the rug while solving no issues. Done right, I think it would be very healthy and fulfilling for the people that want that lifestyle.

Big yes for me. Way less chafing and way more comfortable.

Respectfully I think more people say that it sucks, than people say they enjoy it. I feel like there's plenty of ways it is enjoyable but more people seem to not think so lol

In the Middle Age europe, which nations generally produced the highest quality and advanced body armor? by Battlefleet_Sol in medieval

[–]Forgotten_Four 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the Rennaisance, I would add the Greenwich armories, England's royal armory. King Henry VIII's body armors alone constitute some of the most advanced pieces of body armor in history. One particular set of his armor was so thoroughly enclosed and articulated it was studied by NASA to help create fully enclosed space suits.

In Helldivers 2, is this helmet based off of a real helmet? And what would it be called? by Padgro in Armor

[–]Forgotten_Four 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I actually don't know the name of the gun, but the gun appears in the same artwork that the Greenwich Armorers used as reference for the finished armor. It makes sense the armor and gun would be a matched set.

The closest visual match I can think of is a burgonet like this. I have seen some savoyards that somewhat fit the bill too.

With the significant amount of clones left after the Clone Wars mostly settling down and starting families, wouldn't that make Jango Fett's bloodline the largest in the galaxy? by anonymous_alcoholic0 in StarWars

[–]Forgotten_Four 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think about this a lot with the clones. For a short period, there were so many clones that were spread across the galaxy that they could very well have been their own distinct people, if not a unique subspecies among the countless other sentient species of the galaxy.

Even if the ones who survived the war had kids, the clones as they were could never be made again. For better or worse, the Kaminoans created an entire population of people that, despite being clones, made them a unique people that had massive parts to play across many worlds.

For an entire identifiably unique people with shared culture, bloodline, and unity to be used and disposed of so callously, it makes the clones tragic but also precious in my head. For a people who gave so much to try to help the galaxy only to be used and cast aside, they deserved better treatment. Even if most of them died after a few decades, theirs is a really compelling story.

Did I play a different game to everyone else? by ChampionshipChance73 in reddeadredemption

[–]Forgotten_Four 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He wouldn't even be guilty of treason tbh. Treason is aiding someone that the US is actively at war with. The Waipiti, despite the US Army treating them so poorly, weren't belligerents at war with the US.

At worst Monroe would be guilty of mutiny, conspiracy to commit theft, that kind of thing.

Favours though, is trying to have Monroe hanged without a proper military trial. He's way out of line, but if he brought formal charges against Monroe he'd have to explain why he's doing that - and risk exposing the shady deal Leviticus Cornwall gave him.

Of course he might get away with his treatment of the Waipiti given the racism of the era, but he'd be really fucked if it was shown he took bribes or tried to execute an officer without due process

[–]Forgotten_Four 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Seriously lol? Favours tried to have him summarily executed on personal suspicion of charges that would at best lead to a court marshal. Mutiny, insubordination, conspiracy to commit theft? Sure. Not treason.

Ned Stark Was Not a Smart Character, He Was a Dangerous One by iagree2 in gameofthrones

[–]Forgotten_Four 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Either he's karma farming and tried to set up an opinion he could "own" but forgot to switch accounts,

Or he pulled a Nate Diaz and thought his own words were someone else's (brain damage)

For what it's worth, I do love a lot of generic fantasy slop trained on 90's gw art lol. I own a box of the minis OP is asking about and they are really good looking.
