[@faintfiction5389]

Sad Sallet wasnt featured in this, it’s my favorite as well

[@Ariverfish]

KCD made me appreciate the Houndskull Bascinet. I'm still a Morion enjoyer though.

[@FourHundredandThirtyNineDudeFR]

ngl I Sallet used to be my favourite until I studies the Armet/Closed helm (basically the same) and I came to the conclusion that they have the same benefits as a sallets, the only difference is that for maximum protection with a sallet, you would need a seperate pieces for maximum head and neck protection (that piece being a bevor and gorget) but the closed helm has it already built in. Both are extremely effective and amazing helmets, but the closed helmet has (in my opinion) better qualities of a helmet than a sallet, making it (in my eyes) a superior helmet.

​@fire-typhoon123 looks like an armet

[@Andrei_Antonov]

​@@crimsoncrusader4829 Hardly. It's a close helm. Armets function way differently. This one is an Italian Cavalier helmet that a lot of the 16th century Milan used, if I'm not mistaking, it was mainly horseback

[@tomemaster1744]

I really liked 4 and 6. Of course the Beakie and Bucket are classics too. My personal favourite helmets (not Knights) are the Chain-Veiled Viking helmet, the Corinthian, and the Roman Legionary Helmet with Death Mask.

[@rdx1419]

What’s the fourth helmet called? How can I find more pictures of it?

[@MT-jt5uo]

​​@@rdx1419It's a bascinet with a fantasy visor by armstreet. Think it's based on a italian klappvisor or bascinet.

[@Andrei_Antonov]

​@@MT-jt5uobrutta it's not even a real helmet as a whole

[@Andrei_Antonov]

Half of them have names you know. Corinthian helm is proper. And the grimhelm wasn't just seen as a viking helm, a lot more countries than just vikings used them, Ancient Bulgaria, Byzantine, Medieval Russia, and the RUS. And the Roman helmet your probably describing wasn't completely Roman at all, as Roman empire didn't just wear the steel plates only like you see in movies, moreover what you think of is the Gallic Empire helmet. And death masks never existed it's something you see in assassins creed games. Hollywood takes a huge toll on you

[@hesamthelord7774]

The one before the last. I can swear to Dagoth Ur, that's an ancient nordic helmet from Yngol barrow.

Almost agree, but horns (especially huge ones) are cringe and flat tops (like on the early crusader helms) don't deflect good, thus bad. also my fav are those "guardsman" helmets - the bowl with a rim, with eye holes in the rim, combined with bascinet it's kino
