Wendel is magnificent. The possibility of such luxury, such delicate and high-quality metalwork existing during the era of great migrations is hard to comprehend.

It's a shame they didn't come up with a way to protect the eyes. For some reason, when looking at these photos, that's the first association that comes to mind – as if something hard and sharp is passing through these holes and pressing against something soft and very delicate.

A periscope can be integrated into the helmet.

Heh. You should know that the vast majority (including me) of 14th-century fighters, where there were the most intense battles, including mass battles, protect their heads with this:

And it's definitely not for historical accuracy: this helmet wasn't even found in metal; there are only 3 pictures of it. And sometimes, a halberd really does fly into the gap, and more than one of us has lost an eye because of it. But we're HMB fighters, we're crazy, we've gone mad, we've thrown common sense and safety to the wind, so 50% of orders to blacksmiths are still for this type of visor.

The Heroes challenge on ArtStation seems to be over. But here's something – a design for a new race. A cat-like, Mongolian-inspired faction, indeed. It seems like something similar was planned for one of the unreleased new campaigns for WOG. And here's some other stuff:

Recently forged for me. It's almost a pity to humanize such beauty, but there's nothing to be done.



Strange that only two people ordered such an axe, even though thousands know about the Yarmunby burial. For some reason, everyone takes either the simplest cast axes according to typology, or goes straight for swords/broadaxes. Some kind of disrespectful attitude toward a weapon that is a symbol of the era.

And here's another batch of various things.

Off-topic, and a bit late, but some people should see this.

This is, of course, an isolated case; no one goes into THIS without protection (well, almost), but it's far from the only instance of clinical idiocy. For example, at one of our Tournaments, a guy had his ear cut off with a sword because he was too lazy to fasten his helmet, and it flew off when he was grappled and a downward strike followed. He narrowly avoided a blow to the head; if his opponent had been a less skilled fighter who hadn't managed to deflect the blow sideways, his skull would have been split open.

Horrors that you want to share.

Indeed. Alex can sit by the campfire and tell scary stories. And most importantly, it will be genuinely creepy because it will be true.

The most interesting thing is that the guy in the photo is definitely not wearing some kind of hobo outfit. He has a belt with overlays, a chainmail coif with scalloped edges, and a padded gambeson – he bought all of that, but when it comes to a decent helmet and proper arm protection, he suddenly can’t.
