Scottish Armor

not sure if has been mentioned but i was thinking of a Scottish kilt armor maybe even like a kilt over chain mail

i think it would be an awesome armor piece since we already have weapons like the highland claymore and Scottish sword.


what are your thoughts and, or suggestions?

No arguments here.

It would be something I would like to see.

A full on great kilt with leather chest armour would be a wonderful addition to the light armour range.

You wouldn't really need heavier armour as most scottish armour was imported from mainland europe anyway, but perhaps mail with a tartan sash or something over it?

One thing I would also like would be a basket hilt claymore, be it a broadsword or backsword model.

To me those are far more iconic than the angled quillon of the scottish sword in the game at the moment.

Perhaps even a targe? Though I don't know how much interest there would be for a small light wooden shield.

I've never played a server where people split up as much or as often as on EU1.  No wonder range is having a field day.

heres the scottish armor pack, i think scots belong to multicultural middleages too...

(click to show/hide)

and this is scottish pikeman armor from 'with fire and sword' i think if devs could remove the white collar it would look like a great scottish medieval armor, it has arround 36 body armor and about 16 leg armor:

I don't think you're allowed to import stuff from With Fire and Sword into Warband.

To be honest I was rather surprised when I saw the "scottish armour" from With Fire and Sword, I guess I shouldn't be as tartan is the easiest visual way to show they are Scottish I guess.

I mean tartan trews (and jackets) were worn but so were a lot of other things depending on use, cost and availability.

The more muted earthy coloured ones like in that picture are okay, but the full on bright red "Stewart" tartan probably isn't very in keeping with what a regular foot soldier would have.

Also the caps/bonnets in WFaS are good , they go with any of the more generic armours to add a bit of a Scottish touch to the visuals.

The Scottish armor (not from wfas) is quite intricate and of high quality; I support its inclusion.

Aye it is very nice, probably a bit of an early period design but still the more the merrier in my opinion.

Not to mention they would all be fairly light armours which is good, I think this game could do with a few more light armours.

One of the most historically inaccurate movies ever made :lol:

But yes Scottish armour would be pretty cool. I support this idea!
