What does /k/ think of lamellar armour?

>>33692548
quicker to make than mail or plate.

that particular style is vulnerable to the lacing being cut. which would cause the armor to fall apart.

>>33692548

HEAVY
not really any advantages over any other type of armor besides price/ease of production/ease of repair, so basically peasant concerns
looks cool if you get bronze or lacquered plates

>>33692548
metal armor was retarded. curri bolli leather with hemp cordage was much tougher than any type of plate armor. wasn't as pretty and wasn't expensive enough for a noble faggot though.

> tfw when u nofap this mon but then u see lamellar armor on a ho

>>33692591
When your fielding 200% the forces of your enemies it makes sense.

>>33692910
Damn, I expected her to go down to her gambeson.

>>33692567
Lamellar armour does not fall apart because you cut the lacing. Every piece is interconnected to the others by several strings. It's not so easy to break

>>33692910
dem ghost nipples

>>33692730
it was in the middle east and asia.

>>33692548
harder to pierce than chainmaile but it has the disadvantage of more gaps which can be exploited unless you wear supplemental armor underneath it

Plate also has that problem but to a lesser degree

>>33693227
If you weren't ugly you wouldn't have this problem

>>33692548
is it me, ore are the scales upside down on her chest and shoulder pieces?

seems you wouldnt' want them that way. because you are presenting a gap and surface that a weapon could catch on from an overhead downward strike.

>>33692548
Wouldn't a good downward thrust in between the lamells bypass the armor?

>>33698323
I know the Romans angled their manica upwards so a thrusting blade couldn't get caught in the gaps.

>>33692730
are you thinking of studded leather? Or studded anything?
Leather armour WAS CERTAINLY used, there are documents and books describing how to boil it and the process in how to shape it, also difference recipes for different uses.

Well, the Valiant Lamellor armor on the Marauder was some high quality shit. Hard to replace, though, so...y'know...try not to take a PPC blast to the puss and you'll probably be okay.

I thought it would show the armor without the girl, not the other way around.

>>33692910
WTF I love lamellar armor now.

>What does /k/ think of lamellar armour?

Suitable for women. My girlfriend wears Byzantine II for her Varangian harness. Otherwise, its a lesser armour that had a short heyday.

>>33692567
>quicker to make than mail
Its not even close to as fast as maille production, or as cheap. There is a reason it was actually rather rare.

>or plate.
By the time sheet steel production is cheap enough to make large scale lamellar distribution viable, its well into the period that we're making munition plate.

>>33692624
Please stop being retarded.

>>33701614
Most fags I know in armour prefer 16thC.

that implies they got laid before.

have you seen how pre industrial iron workers made iron or steel wire?

there is no way that hand drawing all that wire, coiling it, snipping it, assembling it into mail, and then riveting it is faster.

I think she's cuter in the armor
