I NEED PICTURES
PICTURES OF BASCINETS WITH NON-POINTY VISORS
Preferably attached to a body and not just the helmet itself, so it doubles as character art.

>those toe points
I didn't realize they made Mexican plate metal armor.
Anyone have good Indian or Persian stuff?
Weapons or armor.
>>48003982
>great helm and basinet
>plate breastplate
shouldn't he have coat of plates at best?
>>48004410
Great Helms were worn well into the 14th century over bascinets for tournament combat or cavalry charges.
>>48004902
There ya go famalam
>>48004886
Can someone explain what the point of this thing? It's like if you want to catch opponent's blade with your hand instead of cross-guard.
>>48005454
Not if you use the flatahmystronk though...
>>48005454
Tourists love it.

Why is transitional armour so fucking aesthetic?
In colder climates and seasons, how would someone wearing plate armor bundle themselves? Would they put layers on top of, or underneath, their armor?

>>48013636
Over. Jupons are really fucking cozy.
this thread needs more mid-15th century harnesses
...but a simple hauberk n' tabard from the 12th-13th century wouldn't hurt
>>48008296
That glossy black is just perfect
>>48014419
More oldies!
also OP, the type of visor you might be looking for is called a klappvisor
>>48014755
>>48014419
Thanks, I really need some of these. Gonna start a 13th century campaign in a few months and I'm low on visual support.
I have nothing to contribute for now, but everyone's gotta start somewhere.
>>48014711
>says i have to wait 3 minutes to post a duplicate reply
what
>>48004796
That seems like an absolutely terrible helmet for jousting. It would funnel lances right into the gaping visor.
>>48014711
i probably just need to put words in the box
>>48014711
yeah that seems to be fixing the duplicate reply shit
>>48014915
Man oldschool helmets look goofy as hell.
That's why I love them.
>>48014711
yes this is literally creighton from dark souls 2
Can I get some maces? Preferably not flanged.
>>48014722
Klapvisor just refers to a single hinged flap dummkopf.
>>48014872
It's not for jousting. It's for mounted combat with swords or foot combat.
>>48013455
>Why is transitional armour so fucking aesthetic?
I think it looks kinda shitty.
But I'm heavily biased due to my time in the SCA. So many try pulling off the 14th century look but just look goofy in it. I also prefer earlier period armors. Give me a nice lamellar or hauberk with a spangenhelm or sugarloaf.
>>48015537
yeah but most of the time if you search for klappvisor you'll get non-pointy visors
just a little piece of history that's been lost, sadly

>posts a coat of plates
>>48022379
What's the difference between them? Number of plates?
>>48022513
size of the plates mostly, but it's a very blurry line.
Another big difference is that brigantine comes when coat of plates are start to get obsolate and survives into the 16th century
>>48014566
Bring your children to work day?
>>48022561
Brigadine is particularly small plate right? Also while we're on the topic, happen to know if a pair of plates was different than a coat of plates, or just a confusing synonym?
>>48022856
Brigandine has smaller plates yes, also it's usually put on a textile backing, plates are horizontal (mostly) and opens at the front.
Coat of plates are put on a leather backing, (according to surviving examples) and plates are (mostly) vertical, and it's more of a poncho stlye thing, that sometimes "opens" at the back
Also brigandine gives you a hourglass shape, coat of plates doesn't.
etc.
> happen to know if a pair of plates was different than a coat of plates, or just a confusing synonym?
.. what kind of pair of plates? never heard that term
>>48022943
Pair of plates is indeed another term for a CoP. Pair in this sense referring to a set of plates rather than two individual components.
>>48024041
never heard of it before this. Then again there are no unversal terminology for this, so there is that.
>>48024182
This one is an in-period term; 13thC and earlier end of the 14thC iirc
>>48024450
no surprise then, I mostly know about 15-16thC stuff
>>48014915
It's because the board thinks you're spamming by replying to the same post every time. Most people reply to each of their posts in a chain when they pic-dump
>>48022561
>Another big difference is that brigantine comes when coat of plates are start to get obsolate and survives into the 16th century
What? I thought guys were still wearing jacks of plates as civilian protection in 30y war era?
>>48032174
jacks replace brigandine in the mid-16th C,
similar, but very different construction method - cord, instead of rivets hold each plate.
