POLL: Replacement for current Black Armor?

[Armbrust_Schtze]

I was looking for a new model for the (aweful) Black Armor. In the screenshot threat of the mod 'Age of Change' on page 7 (http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php?topic=116411.90) I found this 'Elmetto Field Armor' which looks pretty good in my Opinion and I wanted to suggest to replace current Black Armor by the Elmetto Black Armor (there are lot of more armors and helmets in the threat, just have a look arround!)

 an equal helmet to the Elmetto Armor would be the 'Close Helm' which can be found on page 6 of the threat:

I already PM'ed the moderator who posted the pictures of the 'new Black Armor' he told me he would release the files for using in cRPG but only if chadz himself asks for it..

to remind you: thats what the current black armor looks like:

Yes, but only if the shoulder....

Current one looks so gay fantasy like...

[Huey Newton]

i actually like the asymetrical look

There was another set of black armor someone made for the Age of Change II mod.  Figured I should mention it here.  This one is a recolor of Milanese, without the rondels.  There's also matching black shynbaulds and some sort of hand armor:

The black armour would lose its magical touch if it looked nice

i vote no

[Lichen]

100% yes. And no people don't 'equalize' the shoulder. I'm pretty sure that's historically accurate design which is to take more hits on the left side of your shoulder while your right side (weapon hand) is more mobile. The armor is perfect. 

I looked at it after brightening up the pic to see the detail better and it's 100% great. I would even suggest it to replace the 'heavy armor' and have the "Utili Field Armor" from that mod as the new 'black armor' but either way I don't care. It's excellent. 100% yes. The helm is great too.

Same here. It's cool and unique.

Yes, but only if the shoulder....

The shoulder is OK, it's a cavalryman's armor after all. Left shoulder piece was often reinforced because it had to withstand the lance clash.
The helmet also seems to be OK, maybe a bit too late for the period, but I'm not sure.


PS Jesus, there's a lot of excellent plate armor sets in that mod. ME WANTZ A DOPPELSOLDNER ARMOR FOR MY SPAMBERGE NAO!!!111
PPS Hmmm... It looks like some of them are only the retextured versions of Narf's models...
PPPS Hmmmmm... I definitely saw some models (with different textures) in other mods such as Rus XIII Century and I know their author.

Yes, don't equalize, looks more accurate that way.

Also, I would prefer the second set proposed by Xolvern if that is an option. It looks even better.

[MrShovelFace]

DO IT DO IT AND MAKE GORETOOTH CRY

[Tot.]

Anything is better than the current tbh.

[Patricia]

Textures made in Paint.

Replace the ugliness of the black armor, when i see somebody wearing black armor my eyeballs vomit, causing permanent damage to my brain.
Xol's armor that he suggested is better than the OP's so they should use that.

when i see flull black armor + heavy gauntlets + shrink head armet my penis starts to shrink as i would jump into cold water

IMPLEMENT IT!!!
