    Brigandine,Plate Armor and maybe sword idea(Since we are getting new armor this year)

    Just to get this out of the way, i'm not a hater or one of "those guys" from the for honor comunity. This is my first sugestion and i would like to be as constructive as possible. I saw the recent post on the site about the new armor and you can imagine my happines when i saw raider with chainmail, i bit too skin tight and a bit plain looking but is a step in the right direction(i hope it is a work in progress). So since, we are getting new armor and a more reality base one(Just to note here, i'm not against fantasy or hate on a thing just because they are not copies of the real thing. But i care about praticality and making sense, you dont need to just copie real armor but being close to it is really pleasing to the comunity. Like warmonger and gryphon, the devs did a really amazing job with their armors and weapons so its not out of their reach to do something like i said,plus having options more options is always good.)i want to make a sugestion for new warden armor since he got his rework. These being a plate(Something close to warmonger, with variations like the cloth/tabard going over the plate or under it with mail underneath and to the full extent of the arms and a bit of legs while keeping the gaunlets like warmonger. This one is a idea that a good amount of players would like) and a brigandine(If you dont know what a brigandine is i sugest a Youtube channel named Metatron or Shadversity about this kind of armor, but to make easy imagine warden's default armor but the metal plates are underneath the padding. This was used by soldiers as a less expensive armor but really protective and moble. But was used too by knights and nobles) this one for me is espcially easy to make in for honor, since we already have some armor that could be brigandine like warden's default chest or Gabrielle's zenith but the plates are to the inside(Remembering that bringandine was used with plate shoulders,gaunlete and greves too as a combo to keep mobility but retain protection too). Other would be the Magaera chest, remove the chain mail on the cest and put some studs like in real brigandine and give some cool details and boom you have a reality based and good looking armor without much effort. I hope these ideas can reach some devs if possible since they are simple, but would please a lot of people.(The brigandine changing the color of the padding depending of the choice of the player would be good too,like the underneath cloth of gryphon base armor and such)


    Ps: Please, if this reach some dev on ubisoft could you please not put spikes on it?Or rust?Make a Legendary level, because rust always takes away a lot from the armor and we already have a lot of spiky armors. So please, give it a more tamed look if possible,with engravings and such like Grabrielle's Zenith but without the spikes. Other thing, i know this post is really long but if ppssible a sword a with a more grounded look would be nice too(Not too thick,tapered and based on some real ones if possible. The Avant-Garde Smithy signature has a really good sword a bit of polish and that model could be a new warden sword, while i would prefere that the simple look of the model would be kept). Also the brigandine would be cool in other knights,such as Peacekeeper and black prior(Black Priors's Demonic Primordial Set and some others of the same type could well be a brigandine if some details were added or they already are brigs and i just dont noticed). The vikings could get some variant of this type of armor too, since vikings plunder a lot so is not unfeaseble that some of then could have a variation of it.


    Thanks for the attention.



    PS/2: Just came back to share some pictures to my ideas for the armor. Remembering this doesnt have to be a copy but a inspiration from it would be cool.

    Yeah. This sounds reasonable. Altought i do believe many of BP's armors are brigandine with a couple of very thick layers of cloth. Altought Vikings probably Need It more tbh, exspecially Raider.

    BP has always had quite cool designed armor pieces where different materials being used create a distinct look. This mixing of materials could lead to better designed armor for all heroes.

    Also loving the new trend for reduced spikes. Just leave them off of anything and you have a look someone might actually want to wear.

    Yeah, i love Grabielle's zenith. If that armor had arms with no spikes i would use it more often for sure. Just the gold details on thst armor without the spikes would be amazing.

    Yup, all old heroes too(maybe not the wu lin). But warden on my eyes is a special case, dont get me wrong the vikings really need a armor update(some of the samurais too). But warden is such a mess of armors, he has a really nice barbute and other helmets, some cool arms armor(If the spikes could be removed and the size be less bulky and less rust),some really good looking swords. But his chest always pisses me off when we have lawbringer, bp and warmonger to compare. I really would like a new brand of armors and amor that are more pratical(you dont need to be a copy of the reall thing but beeing close enough like warmonger would really be nice. Some more simple yet beautiful swords would be good,like the one i mentioned on the avant gard smith signature)
