Anyone got any crossbowwomen or scouts? Thanks a bunch in advance

Rom was an infant so that's pedophilia.

What's going on in this?
>>48205059
>>48205071
An infant child. "Vacuos" means one who is empty of thought or mind, which point to one who is retarded or, as fitting with bloodbornes' theme, a newborn child. Rom, unlike other kin, is non-violent until attacked multiple times and even then only retreats and flails about with its power, like a panicked infant.
This is fanon of course.
>>48205076
The doll plays hide and seek and the child is delighted.
The Old Crow plays hide and seek and it is terrified.

Jesus christ, how the hell did she do that much damage to those people's skulls with a musket butt. I know the wood is hard as fuck, but it's not an outright club is it? Wouldn't the wood split after turning a skull to literal mush? Not to mention for them to have died so close while still sustaining that much damage, she would have had to have knocked them down quickly and then bludgeoned their skulls to pulp afterwards. She's thorough, I'll give you that.

Half sword is when you hold the handle and the blade above the crossguard to effectively shorten your reach. You still use the pointy end.
Mordhau is when you turn the sword around and hold it by the tip to smack bitches with the pommel
>>48206089
That's a corset. Like, that's just a corset. She's going to die in combat because she can't move or breath.
>>48206143
why would you even need a corset with hips that pop like that anyway.
>>48205872
When you hold the blade with two hands, it's a Mordhau, which you use to give the other guy a concussion through their helmet, optionally so hard that the helmet bulges and you can puncture their temples, one of the weakes spots on the skull and in earlier and low quality helmets also in the middle of a flat metal survace as opposed to on an edge, which would be sturdier. Basically bashing in their fucking skull.
Halfswording is used to get more leverage for your muscles and get perfect tip controll, to sull out stab someone in a weak spot of their armor. Basically you want to make and all out stab at an unprotected part like their armpits, a slit in their protection like between plates, or to stab TROUGH their mail. If it connects, the halfswording gets you enaugh leverage to turn something that would be a superficial puncture or not a hit with a normal hold into a fight ending impalement upon your sword.
Also, if it looks stupid, but works, it ain't stupid
>>48206183
Probably so they pop even more? Wide hips are great, but wide hips with a slim waist is even better.

I'd probably still stick with a mace, getting hit with a giant lump of metal on a stick usually trumps most techniques, or armors, or anything really.

You literally haven't checked the very first post it seems.
>>48204085
>Woman combatants who aren't pinups thread.
An attire that is retardedly cumbersome and unprotective, with design choices that are straightforwardly detrimental to combat efficiency, and with a solely aestethic purpose - looking "cool" by 14 y.o. weeaboo standards and showing an armor bra - doesn't seem to belong in the 'woman combatants who aren't pinups' category.

You literally don't know what a pinup is.
1.a large photograph, as of a sexually attractive person, suitable for pinning on a wall.
2.a person in such a photograph.
3.a device or fixture that is fastened to a wall, as a lamp.
While the character itself could easily be depicted as fapbait the picture in no way shape or form depicts her as such. It is a character reference sheet at most and your griping is misplaced.
Rail against it for being impractical all you want it's not a pinup.
>>48206412
A sword is a bar of metal. It's just as good as a club when it comes to hurting people.
>>48206331
Except that's not true and someone with a sword will still disarm you. That's why everyone used swords. Also, if you think Maces were actually solid metal, you're dead wrong. Most people still carried a sword simply for the fact that someone with a sword can simply out technique you. Why do you think knights were in light training from 6-14 and heavy training from 14 to the end of their lives? Because they needed that long to learn how to bash with metal sticks at each other?
Most people with Maces still carried a sidesword with more reach against opponents who were not freshly drafted peasants.
Also, War Hammers are more effective against armor than Maces, firstly because they have more reach, and secondly because the non-deforming impacto of a flat, unspiked warhammer transfers all it's kinetic energy through the armor into the flesh, effectively turning your opponent into human-pudding without even bruising their valuable armor too much.
>>48206421
And you are clearly too stupid or too blindly defensive to admit you're just cherry-picking on a definition when clearly "Combatant womans who aren't pinups" isn't supposed to be taken literally as 'Every woman that is a combatant and not 1.a large photograph, as of a sexually attractive person, suitable for pinning on a wall, 2.a person in such a photograph, or 3.a device or fixture that is fastened to a wall, as a lamp.'
>>48204756
Realistic depiction of how an aristocrat woman would react after a battle where her troops benefit from her "leadership". She thought being a general was mostly about yelling orders and looking pretty, and never bothered paying attention to lectures about strategy and tactics. This happens to male aristocrats in corrupt, decadent cultures, too. Officers who are ignorant, arrogant fops is a big trope, not nearly enough character art of either sex like this.
Her hotness is part of the trope: it's about being a good looking socialite instead of a leader and administrator.
>>48206424
>>48206476
I just like maces okay! Hammers are also cool.
But while were on the subject of history, exactly how popular were flails?

Not at all. They suck as a weapon of war, are incompatible with the european battlefied tactics that involve highly disciplined group action as opposed to the "honorable" 1v1 practised by the Japanese because their Code of Honor forbade them from using more effective techniques than "Honarably put up stationary shields on both sides, shoot arrows at each other untill you have no more arrows, then charge with spears. When point of close combat is reached, pull out sword and 1v1 untill end of combat". Japan is pretty much the only place in the world that saw some actual use of flails, and even there it was pretty niche. And then again, not because they were actually using good strategy or tactics or weapons, but precisely because they didn't have to as one of the most peacefull countries throughout human history. The only reason they thought their Samurai were the shit was because they never faught anyone else than other samurai, and on the rare occasions that they did, they got their shit pushed in (see also, pre-Meiji invasion of Korea, Mongol Invasion of Japan that failed because all Mongol reinforcements drowned in a storm, meaning the Mongols slaughtered the Japanes until they starved and Japan "won" through the "Divine Winds")
Tl;dr no one used flails, except the Japanese, and even they only for stupid reasons and so rarely that it's not worth considering.
>>48206613
>>48206623

It's more interesting to me to think about how much craft work information the wives and female family members of tradesmen were educated with, since if they couldn't hold up their source of income (which was typically credit, not coinage) as their men were away fighting they'd just fucking starve. Maybe that's why the British Celts and Anglo-Saxons gave their women more rights, because they traded a lot with clothing materials that women could very easily help craft and produce with tools?

Also armor should be armor, if you want to wear fetish clothes just wear fetish clothes, if you want to wear armor wear fucking armor. A bra made of metal (which would probably chafe in unpleasant ways) is a bra made of metal, it isn't armor because it doesn't offer substantial protection.
