I love that hat.

That looks pretty sweet, Ruthardus! Very intimidating.

I like the single, collapsing lame at the neck. I have had to add those a few times for people that actually have necks and wish to look up, but still pacify the marshals.

I guess historically there was no need to look skyward, or the wrap isn't as an effective shot with an edged weapon.

What does the rest of their kit look like?

Or historically they would have worn a chainemaille coif under the helm.

Jolly well done.

I enjoy seeing new helms here, and I have never seen one like that.
Keep up the good works.

Nice. Looks like you are opening up new roads for yourself. Keep up the great work.
Yeah know I just finished up a Norman helm to.
