The Armour Archive

Broadway

Not my first practice, but pretty damn close. I believe this is practice "#2".

Broadway

I've moved to ever lighter arm armour so that I could swing my sword for a longer period of time. It was never about speed, it is about endurance. Could just be me... but I swing just as fast in steel arms (properly fitting and pointed), as I do in hockey arms. I can just keep going longer in the ho...

There's always exceptions to the rule.

That dude's grin says, "Oh yeah, I'm not wearing pants."

I third it... and I too posted a really really shitty thread bashing your work once upon a time...

Its really looking awesome these days, and I've become a loyal customer.

You can paint anything you want on your shield. Period.

I almost wanna jump on here and call dibs on the helm just to annoy Lucian Ro.

For those of you that use hockey gear as part of your fighting gear, I would advise avoiding www.olympicden.com/ like the plague. They are real quick on charging your credit card for an order, but really bad about everything else. I ordered a set of elbows from them Nov. 6th. They charged my card No...

Pussy.

I to would opt for natural over white.

Also, I'd go with natural over any color combo.

Thats fairly badass.

I fucked up and called a shot light once. Which, upon relection later that day, I thought may have been good. I apologized to the dude and told him what happened. End of story. Given all that. This is a lame thread. Pennance is between god and man. Expressing it to the world like this is just grand ...

We gotta do this when it warms up and the ground dries out a bit.

Merely a comment on the fact that you're supposed to be putting your shield between your opponents sword and your body, not removing it from that space... No need to wax philosophical on the subject. If you thrust at a guys shield, and he moves it out of the way so that you hit him... he deserves to...

If you thrust at a guys shield, and he moves it out of the way so that you hit him... he deserves to get hit.

Just let me know when you get it all cleared up. I need a custom scabbard.

Broadway

Sounds like you got fucked.

Broadway

Don't call it an "advanced class". People will get all buthurt. Call it a "different class". But you COULD introduce an 'advanced class purely optional but possibly including a separate authorization' system like cut and thrust. I have armor that will pass almost anything except ...

I'm just grumpy cause I could have afforded them at the last price, before you started gouging.

And you keep my goat out of this...

They're used.

Time to refinish those floors.

I'll take one. XL

My boss has this theory that when we're surveying a piece of property, and the record boundary line calls for 100' and we get 125'... we don't ask how that dude could have fucked up by 25'. We ask ourselves how we could have fucked up by 25'. And 9 times out of 10, we fucked up by 25'. Mayhaps you'...

This is a really fascinating thread. I swear I've seen the pages in question, but all my books and photocopies of books are in a room with a sleeping toddler right now. Will get on the searching tomorrow afternoon after work.

A bad experience is a bad experience, no matter when it happened.

Also, for those with 2nd grade reading comprehension skills... he only posted it because Armstreet brought it all back up.

Broadway

Its two years too late because he wasn't gonna post it in the first place.

Broadway

Will you all just let the guy post a bad review and leave it at that?

Quit badgering him.

Broadway

When you get done with your current orders, I need a custom scabbard for my longsword. Lemme know when you finish up.

Broadway

Thanks Talun! PM sent. Dante, email me a list of what you still need and I'll set it aside for you. I do not currently need five sets of armor. I have an old Lupus-made starter helm rusting slowly to death in my shop, which you are welcome too. It was given to me for use as a loaner helm and I never...

Awesome Edward.
