Can we all agree that this is the best armor in the history of television? Just look at it, you smelly motherfucker, look at it. Fucking beautiful. You can see all the riches in the world innit, it's like a fair travel beyond the horizon, with a heart filled with hopes of a better tomorrow. Just fucking look at it, you stupid buffoon. Fucking beautiful. Not even Jesus himself could be as gracious wearing this - and Jesus was grace incarnated!
Let's all sink it in, yes, sink it in, my fellow anons. This is the armor, this is the man. All hail Jamie Lannister, praised be his name.
>>70526079
im sorry anon but its just not functional, plate shielding on shoulders rugged leather on front, begging for arrow to be shot through his heart, thats not an armor its a wedding dress.

Go away, nerd.
Me and my girlfriend said the same thing; his armor looked really good.
My husband's son was geeking out over the armor, something about the lion symbol, anyone know more?
why does bronn have tiny little leather belts and buckles on his jacket? surely it only needs one possible position, where the two sides meet. why would he have it, say, 2 notches out, so his jacket would instead look like it doesn't fit? this is exactly why buttons exist
Got some weird samurai design to it.
>>70527899
button technology isn't invented yet
>>70526079
It's called plot-armor, and it will be the only reason he kills the based Blackfish.
isn't that Tywins armor?
>>70526079
non
>>70526140
There is plate on his chest, retard.
>>70526079
Fuck off. Armor sucks and they never wear any helmets. They spend millions and they can't make any helmets?
>>70527935
Why does he have armor on everything except his goddamn arms, which would be the obvious target in a sword fight? For a guy who already lost one hand he sure likes to take chances.
>>70526079

uh huh.
>>70526079
That's basically useless as armour though. It's basically combining the mobility restriction of metal with the protection of leather, with the shoulders and gorget basically unsupported by the rest of the armour. I won't deny it looks pretty, but it's garbage as actual armour.
>>70526079
Why does Bronn always wear that leather jacket, though?
Jaime does look great in that armor
Probably the best he's looked in the entire series

>>70530533

>>70528140
They wear helmets
FYI people, it's not Tywin's armor, it's Jaime's own armor. He wore the same set in season 1.
Looks homo prancy as fuck
>>70530671
I miss Tywin ;_; best character on the show
>>70528140
You wear helmets for battle, not when you're prancing around camp talking to people.
>>70526079
The show has dragons and magic, so they use this as an excuse to not have any realism in things that are real like armor/swords.
A set of plate armor can be functional and look amazing, but they said fuck all that and when full on 'video game' aesthetic.
>>70530006
He will never look good.
he has a modern day dad haircut.
They really fucked over his appeal.
>>70528284
>Wearing more armor than necessary for a talk
In reality armor was a status symbol. If some dude walked up with tons of inlaid gold and gilding then you knew the guy was mega rich and powerful.
Unfortunately the armor they have him wearing is pretty meh.
>>70530194
>but no actor would wear that shit for months of shooting
Oh please, its a couple of extra kg and if made properly the weight is all comfortably distributed. Even still, your body gets used to it after a couple of days.

Too bad they were only used in one scene and as extras behind the orcs during the siege of Minas tirith.
>>70531300
Dad Tywin was a welcome facet to the character
>>70528136
Yeah, but it's too thin on the sides, leaving the armpits and sides of the chest ready for stabbing without much effort.
>>70528140
They haven't really done helmets since the earlier seasons
>>70533015
All me
>>70533015

>>70530386
if the fish scales were made out of steel, it wouldn't be such a retarded design. heavy, but at least functional. As it stands, though, I don't think it would stop a swat of the hand.
It's a very sorry copy of this.
It's ill fitting and has so many nonsensical parts I don't even know where to begin.
Look at those massive gaps between pauldrons and breastplate.
Made by someone who has no idea how armour functions.
Pathetic.

>>70533825

>>70526079
I just hate the fact that they are uniform.
YES, I know, it's so that we can memefully tell who's on who side, but really kills the feudal kingdom vibe.
>>70534178
retard spotted
I like that the lanisters are the only house that has enough money to outfit their infantryman with standardized armor like a roman legion
Adds to the authenticity of the show
The gorget starts to fold when he looks up at the ramparts, it's made of cheapo leather.
Also the Tully soldiers had dinky little woolen hats standing in for chainmail. Is it 1954?
The Frey soldiers were wearing what looked like big brown doilies.
>>70534313
non-swordfighter spotted
>>70530538
The helmets look retarded because they never close the eye thingys. Like wtf is the point of that if they never close them.
>>70534178
No, he's right.
Where did you learn about sword fighting, from your animu?
Deflecting, parrying etc the arms are the most as risk, they're what's closest to the enemy, as well as if you cripple their arms/hand you will win. Sword fighting isn't about just stabbing or slashing to kill, it's about disarming your opponent and throwing him off balance so you can get a safe kill.
>>70534379
Wearing a full face helmet is massively uncomfortable, especially for long periods. Your face feels hot and cold at the same time and you sweat like a pig.
>>70532426

>>70526079
I like it, but actually blackfish's armor is my senpai cuz the drag scales tbhfam

He probably is a gay-ass olympic fencer. He's a retard anyway, because in any type of fencing you know your arms and forearms are what's most at risk of getting hit.

Aren't the Freys rich as fuck, though? In the books they are intermarried with the Lannisters, and they toll all whom want to cross the Twins (Which is everyone who wants to get to the North). They have several knights, and one of them even competes in Robert's tournament in the first book, in full pate armor, if I am not mistaken. Why are they portrayed as smelly homeless hillbillies wearing rags in the show?

>/tv/ cant into floor-length mail robes
wew lads
>>70534979
I think the idea is that good armor that is really functional is expensive custom fitted stuff that the rich can afford.
Therefore kingsguard get good armour. Brienne gets good armor. Highly valued personal bodyguards get good armour.
Everyone else makes do with what they can afford.
Lords, on the other hand, don't do much fighting themsevles so have ceremonial/heriloom decorative armour. Jamie is wearing tywin's warmor, btw.
I mean really. Tywin was old. Jamie has one hand. They don't need functional armor, they need to look impressive for propaganda purposes.
>>70536826
Bronn?
>>70536893
Bronn was a lowborn sellsword who probably never had much training in real armor. Remember -- he was never a knight.
He can afford it now, but does he know how to use it? Does he want to learn? And he's new settled into a commander role rather than a fighting one. He's not even wearing armour lately -- just more expensive clothes than he used to have.
If he found himself in a big battle again, he'd probably have some good armor made, but that hasn't happened yet.

Great example of armor used for propaganda purposes.
The diorama on Octavian's armor here actually depicts him personally conquering visigoths in a major battle.
Except Octavian was nowhere near the battle being depicted. Dear leader was actually back home in Rome and his generals conquered the goths on his behalf. This didn't stop the emperor from depicting himself as a conqueror and a hero of rome.

In the middle ages, you either had decent armor or no armor. Except for parts of the middle east and the roman empire, there wasn't any munitions plate until way later. People who expected fight would be wearing at the very least a maile shirt and the rich would be layering their armor. You have to remember only a small percentage of the population would be warriors (1-3%). They weren't serfs, they were free farmers, burghers, nobles, clergy, state-funded mercenary companies, etc. They had enough money for better than basic equipment, enough free time to train for war, and expected to make lots of money while on campaign. War was great for social advancement because you could literally make several lifetimes worth of peacetime income from ransoming prisoners and looting.
Leather was a very uncommon armor type in europe because the actual leather suitable for armor was a very small part of the animal. It's only with nomadic cultures, who lack large scale ironmaking, you see leather being the dominant armor type.

>>70540218
Man-at-arms refers to armored cavalry men? Many might not have had custom suits of gothic plate, but many would have had plate armor of some type, either solid plates or a coat of plates potentially layered with a shirt of fine maile.

>>70540468
High middle ages usually refers to 11-13th centuries yes? That's a little early for pike and shot which is when munitions plate armor became particularly common on western battlefields. Until then, maile was the most common armor type in western europe, with plates often being layered over it for extra protection. By the late 15th century, solid plate armor became much more common. Knighthood was practically on death's door by that time, with most heavy cavalry being non-knight professional soldiers and foot soldiers rapidly replacing even these. So the whole idea of knights in full plate armor is kind of anachronistic.
>>70541235

>>70541469

>>70536826
People really misunderstand what "ceremonial" means when it comes to weapons/armor. A well-made suit of armor isn't "ceremonial", it's just fancy. There's absolutely no reason whatsoever to make armor or weapons that just look good, instead of ones that can both perform a function and look good.
>>70541830
Fancy armor also served as identification (probably most important part). If the King died (or if they thought he died), his soldiers would often lose heart and flee.
>>70541830
Here's a reproduction of a Scottish targe compared to the targe that belonged to Charles Edward Stuart
Charles Edward Stuart's targe isn't ceremonial, it's just fancy
>>70541830
ceremonial armor is generally armor that's too heavy to use effectively in combat. it's technically functional, and may be even stronger than field armor, but nobody actually wore stuff like pic related into battle

pretty much what this fag said
didnt the main costume designer leave after the first 4 seasons? i still think theres good stuff, just a different overall look to some family styles
>>70542366
That doesn't fly. As a feudal vassal, you have to maintain standards for your levies or else you get in trouble with your overlord. In fact, because the Freys are considered upstarts they would probably maintain higher than average standards because they can't afford to give the Tullys reason to punish them.
>>70536773

>>70526140
This. I couldn't put i words what bugged me about it. It's not so much armor as a poor fashion statement. It's not pretty or functional. I bet h made Westerosi's worst dressed list.
>>70542685
>GoT is based off of the War of Roses
Some of the politics was (not anymore tho, especially after tywin died) but that doesn't really have anything to do with the armour. If it had to do with technology then there would be cannons and early firearms being used (game of thrones' technology is all over the place anyway and it really doesn't matter since it's a tv show)
>>70528224
Thanks for this.
>>70542884
I was talking about how we have people walking around in maile, leather thongs, full plate, etc. Stuff that really never coexisted because the later makes the former two obsolete (cheaper and more protective). We also have advanced medical technology from the masters and ship technology from the summer islanders. Basically, the whole setting falls into the same anachronistic trap that most fantasy settings do by not considering the consequences of certain technologies.

>>70539119
>>70526079
Seriously, look in the background at the ordinary Lannister soldiers. Most (look at the ones right of Jaime's head) don't have huge gaping holes in their armour; Jaime is really just wearing the armour equivalent of skinny jeans, which is somewhat in character, I guess.
>>70543283
Did I trigger you knob jockey?
I like the Lannister armour used in the show in general. It subtly conveys an exotic ostentatiousness that separates it from the greyjoy drapings and the shitty Bolton pith helms.
>>70543924
It seems like the other way around
>>70543815
What really bothers me are the matching uniforms. This is a feudal society, people are equipping themselves. Even if all the stuff was made by a single dude which is extremely unlikely for an army of thousands, there is no standardization. Plus every dude will want to look unique so when he does something noteworthy his overlord can go "hey blue dude with the checkered horse crest get over here."
>>70544115
the uniforms are so the audience can tell the factions apart. i mean, the wildlings and ironborn on the show have matching uniforms too and they are even less likely to wear matching uniforms than normal medieval people
>>70544196
Or its because the lannisters are rich as fuck and can uniform their soldiers properly?
>>70544249
Yeah but feudal soldiers don't want to be uniformed. They want to standout so they can advance up the social ladder.
>>70544308
Who gives a fuck about soldiers wanting to stand out? They'll wear what they're ordered to wear
This fantasy world isn't exactly like our historical society. I'm triggered.
>>70535854
kill yourself mongoloid
>>70544308
Knights would. The rank and file sergeants and miles gregarius are there for a paycheck and have no opportunity for social climbing, for the most part. And it became common in the early renaissance period for wealthy countries and states to mass-produce armor for the use of their armies, in an attempt to give everyone a similar basic level of protection (munitions plate).
As noted in the thread, GoT takes place in a sort of late medieval, early renaissance era where it is entirely possible houses with the means are equipping their soldiers, or at least the cream of them, with a standardized equipment.
Also worth pointing out one of the thing that touched off the Wars of the Roses was over-mighty barons paying men to wear their colors (livery, liveried men) and fight for them.
>>70527935
why doesnt he get a fake hand that isnt 1.5x the size of his real hand
>>70544588
relevant link as pertains to this thread
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munition_armour
They don't have to follow orders. In a feudal society people show up to war because they expect to make money and earn glory. Otherwise they pay scutage and stay on their land raping peasant girls.
In addition, even the Lannisters aren't rich enough to afford a full time army. They might have 4-5 thousand household soldiers. However, most of these fellows would be second/third sons coming from militarily inclined families (lesser nobles, wealthy commoners). They'd be bringing their own equipment and be serving because they hope for social advancement.
>>70528034

Also Jaime always seemed like such a bro why does he love fucking his cunt sisters cunt so much
>>70544588
The problem with that is that by the time full time professional armies became commonplace in europe, the amount of knights per men-at-arms had dropped significantly. Yet we still see knights being talked about like they're the shit in GoT and not a rapidly evaporating battlefield force.
Moreover, even pre-industrial professional armies had low levels of standardization. For most of the time roman legionaries existed, they were required to buy their own equipment (the cost may have been subsidized). The idea of everyone getting the same #11 sword is an industrial concept.

I honestly don't think it would be all that practical to have matching standards are crests for thousands of medieval soldiers. Commoners and knights who belonged to holy orders might but everyone else would be wearing their families personal colors. Depending on the time period, that could be the majority of the force.
why does tywin's look better

Swordplay requires finesse of the wrist and hand more than you think. In the books, he uses his metal hand to have his shield locked into place.

Filipinos are the world's most powerful race.

...has there been a single shield in GoT beyond the jousting tournament and the eunuch army?

Man he had little bitch hands

But the Blackfish, Walder Frey, the High Sparrow, Kevan Lannister, Olenna Tyrell, Yohn Royce, Robbett Glover, and CIA man are all still on the show.

The dude who fights Bronn during Tyrion's trial by combat at the Eyrie.

I was playing the telltale GOT game, and I was kind of confused. People wearing armor get impaled all the time.
In the tv series, they usually go for the weak spots in the armor, but int he game they just impale people with their swords.
>>70546926
Now that's what I call a trial by combat
>>70546828
they are asian mexicans, so basically zergs.
>>70546926
>lol XD whata crazy prank
>this is totally not my fetish
>>70546947
Armor is heavy to hold but lighter to wear. There's no armor in the world in any culture that is so heavy it would encumber a fit, experienced soldier, no matter their build.
i get the feeling jaime is just gonna say fuck this shit and leave

What mental disorder does stevo have?
>>70546893
Some of the background characters had them in the early season, and the unsullied still have them. They've never been used in an actual fight I think, which is a fucking shame. I wish instead of doing stupid faction designs that the lords adhere to, and that serve no purpose in the show, they would've gone more practical.
Like have the lords and shit when not in confrontations wear standard clothing, but during fights or times of war have them wear this super elaborate and ornamental armor. It'd stand apart from the typical soldier, wouldn't confine actors but only under certain scenes, and would be tight as hell and probably would sell merchandise like crazy.
>>70546980
Telltale has no understanding on the medieval world, armor, or even the game of thrones world. They never read the books, and just quickly made a sideplot for the show. The show is just as bad though, I think armor has only been used in the actual choreographing like, three times? One during Jorah's first fight, then when the Hound is talking shit and is then immediately disregarded the next episode, and during the Dayne fight when Ned was blocking with bracers.

not give a fuck itus

No really what the fuck went wrong? Were they just renting the old costumes?

Histrionic personality disorder
>HPD is defined by the American Psychiatric Association as a personality disorder characterized by a pattern of excessive attention-seeking emotions, usually beginning in early adulthood, including inappropriately seductive behavior and an excessive need for approval. Histrionic people are lively, dramatic, vivacious, enthusiastic, and flirtatious. HPD affects four times as many women as men.[1] It has a prevalence of 2–3% in the general population and 10–15% in inpatient and outpatient mental health institutions.[2]
>HPD lies in the dramatic cluster of personality disorders.[3] People with HPD have a high need for attention, make loud and inappropriate appearances, exaggerate their behaviors and emotions, and crave stimulation.[3] They may exhibit sexually provocative behavior, express strong emotions with an impressionistic style, and can be easily influenced by others. Associated features include egocentrism, self-indulgence, continuous longing for appreciation, and persistent manipulative behavior to achieve their own needs.

shields weren't used much in the late middle ages
>>70546980
Late medieval armor was immune most stabbing and impaling attacks. That's part of the reason the last knights dropped their shield for polearms. There was also a greater emphasis on wrestling because it didn't matter how armor the guy opposite to you was wearing if you could break his neck.
Tell me /got/, how is the calendar structured in the GoT cinematic universe?
How many days in a week/month/year. How many hours in a day?
I know that the seasons can last years but is a nameday directley equivalent to a birthday in our own universe?
>>70547187
Pretty much. All the armor in the first season was rented, thats why it looks great, practical, and legit. Its also why the Hound and Loras look much better.

Mountain and Loras literally had rented armor.
All armor on the show is shit, period.

Except the Ice and Fire world is a wacky place inbetween full Pike and Shot and Medieval fighting, and they still use swords and shields during most of the fights in the books.
>>70547200
I'm pretty sure GRRM left it the same and didn't try to make up any new types of measurements. they use pounds for weight
Does anyone know the population of westerns? 40,000 fighting men seems kind of unlikely for an area that size, even one with a low population. I'm inclined to believe the north should be able to shit out at least 100,000 men if they have anywhere near 4 million people in population. Of course, they probably wouldn't deploy more than 20,000 in one place due to logistical constraints.
>>70528302
>Moro Armor
>Filipino
LOL
They need to be ethnically cleansed if only the generals weren't so corrupt and actually spent money on guns and equipment.
>>70547293
cant see shit captain
>>70547366
North is much too barren for tht many men. It may be the largest landsize wise but it's probably the least populated (only maybe dorne is smaller)
>>70547326
>Except the Ice and Fire world is a wacky place inbetween full Pike and Shot and Medieval fighting
So, 14th-15th century.
>>70545355
full plate armor for one
the tech in the asoiaf universe ranges from 1000 ad to the 1500s minus the use of munitions and artillery (dragons and wildfire make up for this although no one has had the idea to make gunpowder yet apparently)
>>70547407
it's like canada. the country is large but it has fewer people than the great state of california.
>>70547347
I assumed this to be the case. Only thing that suggests otherwise is 'nameday' replacing 'birthday' but even that doesn't really suggest a change.
>>70547187
>knitted sweater since they can't afford chain on the arms
hahahaha fuck me, I guess they ran out of money for even generic leather with studs in it.
armor is for pussies
>>70547347
He also uses feet and miles.
>>70547366
England had a population close to 1.5 million, maybe around 1066, but Harold was only able to call out a maximum of about 14k realistically. And those were young fighting men.
You have to rely on what your nobles and sergeants can realistically muster in that time, where they ride and if they keep an accurate tally on the number of men who are capable of fighting, and finding the right percentage to stay in villages to protect and farm without it hemorrhaging food and income.
>>70547366
Medieval England was ~4 million in the 15th century and they sure as shit weren't putting 100K men in the field.
>>70547560
you can get a shirt of butted mail for like fiddy bucks, I'd almost say it would have been more hassle to go with the knitted substitute
>>70533825
>Made by someone who has no idea how armour functions.
I thought that was supposed to be a dress armor. More for attending functions rather than battle.
I saw some of these at the MET.
>>70547450
Nope, since the 15th century was the first time to see the implementation of full plate, but it was very shortly after that they started moving towards pike and shot, and even during that time lapse, they still had cannons.

>Leader of the Kingsguard
>Wears Lannistar Armor
>>70547366
It's not a direct analogue but there's only 5 million population in Scotland today.
>>70547604
He got kicked outta the Kingsguard last week fool.
>>70547604
It's so that retards can remember what side he's on.
>>70547561
Well, except for plot armor, of course
>twenty good men
this movie had the goat helmets
