khaooohs Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 I've been watching a bit the previous thread, and I see a lot of REAL european-ish medieval armor...and since this is a fantasy rpg game, maybe armor could also be more imaginative...(I really hate those japanese rpg full with colourful and with unefficient look). and since this is a multi-racial game I would like to see some distinctive armour and weapons...when I think about some creative armors morrowind comes to my mind...also I would like to see more tribal looking gear and a Full Samurai armor 3
Karranthain Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 (edited) There have been plenty of Non-European and really imaginative designs in these topics, here's one of the cool examples: Edited February 20, 2014 by Karranthain 3

JFSOCC Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 I wonder what beautiful bows exist. Remember: Argue the point, not the person. Remain polite and constructive. Friendly forums have friendly debate. There's no shame in being wrong. If you don't have something to add, don't post for the sake of it. And don't be afraid to post thoughts you are uncertain about, that's what discussion is for.---Pet threads, everyone has them. I love imagining Gods, Monsters, Factions and Weapons.

Greensleeve Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 The boots look a bit high, but otherwise good stuff. No real surprise; Warhammer tends to have some pretty amazing artwork.
Karranthain Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 The boots look a bit high, but otherwise good stuff. No real surprise; Warhammer tends to have some pretty amazing artwork. Indeed! It's decidedly fantasy, but fairly understated and practical. Here's an alternate take: 1
Lephys Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 As far as MMOs go, Warhammer: Online definitely had some of the most practical armor/equipment designs. And that's in a genre of games in which the design of equipment has the most incentive to merely convey "epicness" and make the character feel special while ignoring any and all practicality of design. 8P Should we not start with some Ipelagos, or at least some Greater Ipelagos, before tackling a named Arch Ipelago? 6_u

solamyas Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Hungarian zischagge from the 1560's Its is an Ottoman "Chichak" helmet Byzantian armor. It is looks like an armor of Varangian guard, yeah still from ERE.

quest1on Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) Hungarian zischagge from the 1560's Its is an Ottoman "Chichak" helmet ZIschagges were adopted by Hungarians (and Poles) due to the fact that they fought against the Ottoman Turks. The patern on this example looks islamic, though. Edited February 27, 2014 by quest1on

Lephys Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 What is it about capes that make capes so awesome? ... I dunno. There's just something about the way they jut out into the ocean and are sometimes treacherous to sail around... Ohhhhhh, caaaaapes. Right... o_o 1 Should we not start with some Ipelagos, or at least some Greater Ipelagos, before tackling a named Arch Ipelago? 6_u
Karranthain Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Whos's artist? Jaime Jones, you can see his other works here: http://jaime.cghub.com/. And since we're in the cape business: 3
