My Plans Firm Up

After much pondering, I have come up with a plan for my new paladin kit.

As mentioned last time, I have been inspired by the Carolingian armor in the Stuttgart Psalter. So I plan to make faux scale - basically the same pattern as my faux lamellar, but with the rounded part facing down.

Here is an AI concept.

I will do a few things differently.
  • No bracers. My gloves are enough
  • I have a different design for the pauldrons
  • Going to have the chimera logo on the shield
  • No nasal on the helmet
Speaking of helmets, I was toying with buying this helmet from By the Sword.


But I pivoted, and plan to make one out of leather, using this Skill Tree video as a guide.
