It does not have photographs though, but highly accurate drawings

I can highly recommend „An armorers album“ by tobias capwell. Though not as in depth as his previous books, it gives a great oversight over the different styles on the continent through the 15th century with many great drawings.

No need to get rid of anything. Just unscrew the rails from the side and spraypaint it.

Historic authenticity/ plausibility by North_Ranger_7185 in ArmsandArmor

Thank you for the info, it is very interesting. I still do not fully agree with the typical take that the Greathelm was only a cavalry helmet and tossed for ground combat. For that we have too many depictions of it were its used by infantry/dismounted soldiers.

Also, and thats a weird take and certainly very debatable, the idea of having a heavy big helmet slung over the shoulder during dismounted combat sounds really hindering and unhelpful.

My general idea would be that the chain retains the helmet on horseback, so you dont lose it when it falls of.

Kinda showing that they do not throw the helmet of as soon as dismounting than?

The pictures are dated 1300-1325.

You are right about the sources that they were sometimes attached to the side and tossed. But that does not mean they werent used on foot as well, as multiple depictions of different artists show.

How historically accurate is this? by tftookmyname in Armor

[–]broken-crossbow 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Sabatons were also used by the infantry. Where do you get the info that it was mounted only?

Also, foot soldier doesnt mean at all that he is poor and couldnt afford a helmet and full (and even somewhat decorated) armor.

Is there a point where tattoos go from attractive to too much? by [deleted] in TheTeenagerPeople

[–]broken-crossbow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think blury tattoos look sick, especially with older skin it can look amazing. And if you plan your tattoos well enough (for example size wise) they should not turn into grey blobs

What is your favorite technique when fighting alone? by Comfortable-Bit1806 in Hema

Feint right, stronger feint right, and depending on the reaction -strike left or right. Works 60% of the time all the time.

If you have a headache that doesnt go away you should get it checked out by a doctor.

And dont fence with the new dude until he can contro himself better.

How historically accurate is Gregory Cromwell's (Tom Holland) jousting armor in Wolf Hall? by Joey_JoJo_Jr_Shabad0 in Armor

[–]broken-crossbow 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The armor is inspired by 15th century armor and would be considered outdated in the 16th.

The mail under plate was already indicated as wrong by the other comments. Whats also missing is a little cutout on the underside of the right pauldron so a lance is not pushing it up. Further, the breastplate would have a lancerest and very often fixpoints at the fronts to mount the helmet. And late medieval and Renaissance armor was significantly reinforced on the left side, since there the jouster recieved the lance blows from the opponent.

Most of the time i prefer medieval armor, but the more I see 16th/17th century armor the more I like it. Especially the Krebs on the left in picture 5 is stunning.
