HELLO
A proper cuirass sits on or above the natural waistline and doesn't impede mobility, nor is it heavy enough to weigh anyone down.
Aside from the rig on the arms it's not very useful. Leather is easily punctured or cut, and if it's metal it sits too low on the body. 1/2
Maybe not for the modern battlefield, but a couple of these are functional, and would have been effective a few hundred years ago.
An axe was what you'd use if you didn't own a sword. They were cheap and had good utility use. They really were in no way op comparatively.
No doubt it's inspired by WWII Russia as a whole, but the Death Korps of Krieg is pretty distinctly German.
lol, the members of the order were literally his personal guard at times. Everyone was pretty devoted to his well-being.
So what if the subject doesn't exist or isn't in front of you?
unharmed. I suppose it's all about the quality and layers of defense and the placement of a strike. All a bunch of variables.
I was just saying that it doesn't make it ineffective. I've seen demonstrations that (even with a 2handed mace) that leave the wearer -
had winged and horned great helms, but I don't think anyone went this far for decoration and battle regalia. (2/2)
Some historical examples have some similar things, like painted armor and writing. I know around the 14th century the Teutonic order (1/2)
I think it might just be better at bypassing some defenses than rendering it highly ineffective.
ebay disagrees with you.
Love the style. I'm an animation student. You guys in need of another animator?
It's really not nearly as heavy as people think.
I think you could make it more efficient by slimming the width and profile.
Mail armor could be very effective. I think the main factor came down to quality. Good armor simply did its job. Most people didn't have it.
Hahaha, I figured. I just wanted to make a note of it. I've heard crazier historical hypotheses.
things like parade-swords, which were significantly larger, more decorative, and had no real place in war. 2/2
The development of the ceremonial mace was always symbolic. It has roots as a functional weapon, but what we see now are similar to 1/2
I just killed my group's bard last weekend. I felt so bad. Don't run off and loot a cursed dungeon by yourself, people!
Oh yes, it was very special indeed.
I laughed a lot during the battle scenes, so I guess that's a win?
I think most people honestly don't know why WWI existed in the first place.
Those podcasts are very interesting. I highly recommend them. There are 6 available! http://www.dancarlin.com/hardcore-history-series/
16mm of frontal armor. The gun was more than capable of penetrating it. Normal rifles were capable of shooting through earlier tanks, though
They were pretty effective for their time. They were introduced at the same time as the Mark V tank, which (according to wiki) only had(1/2)

None of these are given with a source, so it kind of hard to determine anything from it.
