Why is armor always dingy and dirty in modern fiction? A knights would have super highly polished kit, it was called being dressed in alwhyte and had a mirror finish to show off how expensive this shit was. The suit of armor itself cost about as much as a years income for a knights estate and the destrier warhorse he rode was worth the equivalent of a ferrari and was given to him by his patron as he couldn't afford it. Dudes in plate armor had a team of guys to help them and three horses at least to move all their equipment, they wouldn't be dirty. They were the equivalent of a tank or airplane and supported as such.
I'm more upset the guy wearing armor is usually a nigger, which never happened. Pretty sick of niggers desu bros
>>216489536>Dudes in plate armor had a team of guys to help them and three horses at least to move all their equipmentNot all of them but yeah it was important to look sharpe before a battle.Leave the mud and grime for the aftermath.
>>216489536Same reason why they also depict every medieval setting with a gray filter and everybody swings weapons like they have a cinder block attached to them, even though they weigh 2kg at most.
>>216489603I hate it though because it is an important part of story telling of the era(s). People literally surrendered to imperial rome after seeing 20k guys roll up in shiney new lorica Hamata that individually cost 9 times the amount of wealth produced by a average farming family a year. Knights in shining armor is a thing for a reason and having a society like rome who could slap it on a middle class schlubs makes a huge impact on storytelling.
>>216489536The shit costume design ruins this show for me.
>>216489982>lorica HamataWhat a wonderful phrase
>>216489581Thanks for the input, Marina.
>>216489982A lot of armor was painted.Bright colors though, you want to stand out and know who's who.
>>216490038My point was modern costuming is shit and ugly
>>216490066Oh that is absolutley true.
>>216490010I'm more of a lorica squamata kind of fella
One billion dollars.
>>216490118I've literally seen better at a Ren Faire
>>216490202Lots of the renfair guys go full autismo and recreate the shit in the exact way they did in 1200. I don't know how they have the time and money to forge their own crap
I watch ROP for she>>216490118>>216490202That's not his full battle armor
>>216490233Is this? Nice knit scale long shirt
>>216490233Its completely wrong for a first age elf armor. They were described as as wearing scale armor with scales as fine as fish scales with a plate armor chest and greaves. They would have looked like a cross of ancient greek with late roman scale armor. That armor has gunpowder era influences
>>216490304Sarmatian?
>>216489536Old BADNew BETTER

>>216490411The french fucked up by charging the archers in the mud
>>216490457It would be understandable if it only happened once, but they just kept doing it.
>>216490738Moor brained savages
>>216490738The aristocracy was just too chad-y to be contained
>>216490747There was an odd culture of anti intellectualism among the French Nobles at the time.It was believed that reading and being clever was for priests and monks, and reading only tool away from valuable fighting time.
