Found in a random search for 'Brigandine'
« on: 2011-05-13, 15:53:58 »
You know how they have a row of pictures, so I clicked on one and it takes you to a larger page and look who I find:



Then I scroll down and see 'Lord Grey's Retinue' and I know I got my man!  lol

Looks good on you, Wolf, that standard...too bad it wasn't what I was searchin for.

AHHHHH! Not so close, back away, back away!  ;)

In all seriousness, I covet Sir Wolf's riveted standard.  I know it's a sin and not very knightly, but I do covet it.

no not really. standards as i have known them are a 15thc thing. now if you get a bassinet you will need an aventail to attach to the bottom of the helmet. but if you want one to just look cool than thats different ;)

Oh, no standard in the 14th?  One less thing I need worry about.  Was considering the MRL bascinet...Ed and Brian said it was heavy but doable.  Since I am not fighting, or rather, did not plan on it, it should serve just fine, no?

Yeah, it's half-way decent, so of course MRL had to stop carrying them. Otherwise they wouldn't be MRL. :)
