Well I can't post that monkey gif every time you say something, can I?

Okay, once more:

[Fidelis von Sigmaringen]

That does not count: you are too smart by half too.

If it wasn't for the breast plates, they might pass as dudes.  Sorry doesn't work for me.

[Gneisenau]

Which is pretty much the case for real women in armor, except for the breastplates.

Here's Kristen Stewart (definitely not a dude) in "Snow White", wearing lighter armor than the one above:



With full plate, there will be little to no difference.

And who would want that?

[Gneisenau]

Me, especially if she's the only one covering my back while I'm fighting orcs.

Yes it is true that Women don't need breast on their breastplates, but they might want them anyway.

No they would not. the whole point of armour is that it can deflect blows. Boobs don't deflect blows.
Those piece you show were propably mostly ceremonial, a fashion trend or (thinking out loud here) ment to be used on horseback (?)

I wouldn't kick her out of bed.

They wouldn't because unlike the pictures posted a boobplate is a danger to the wearer where as large codpieces [which were never used on battle armour] don't make the armour worse

[Fidelis von Sigmaringen]

I wouldn't kick her out of bed.

Would that be a bed of mails, then?

Yeah, if you fall on your stomach with a boobplate it might break your sternum. It might also guide a blow right to the center of your chest. Both are easily avoided with a smooth armor.

Boobplates are fun, though.

  A bed of mail, that's a new one.

Well, definitely not nails.

I never thought about that - good point.

That's actually pretty sexy.

[Syphon]

Actually, there's a very simple reason for boobplate. If a woman with large mammary glands wishes to wear armour, she has to either have boobplate or tie the whole circus down with tape or something. It's the same reason why I need a codpiece and a gutplate.

[Gneisenau]

I sincerely hope that was sarcasm, otherwise I would have to make a rather impolite comment about your knowledge about human anatomy.

I've dissected and vivisected plenty of people, thank you very much!

I don't remember if anyone has posted the Diehard kickstarter yet...

I can't believe I'm saying this, but... I really want just pledged for those Slann Eru-Kin. No idea what I would do with them, but I like the figures nonetheless.

[Syphon]

Bitz sites! Anybody? I'm 100% done with bitzbox.co.uk. They never have anything in stock even though they always claim to have restocked.

[The Red Graf]

I usually get what I need from eBay, but Horde of Bitz gets a lot of my business.
