Love this an an honorable mention. Just finished pt 1 of book 2.The shardplates of Gavilar and Ehlokar in the Stormlight Archive look pretty badass:
In general shardplates sound pretty badass, but these are our only official illustrations of em in general so I'll go with these.
I... legit didn't think anyone liked this. >.>I always liked Dracula's tendon lookin armor from Coppola's adaptation
Don't Tread on the Bear.NCR Rangers from Fallout. They're so cool that Ant-Man stole their design.
I fucking love the Cainhurst armor from Bloodborne.
It actually gave me chills for some reason when I noticed that there's a jawbone with teeth underneath the main layer.
That part is subtle and yet so damn beautiful.
Seriously how am I supposed to know who this is supposed to be when you don't include a caption!?
It can be from a movie, book, TV show, game, or any other form of media.
I really like Leon Belmont's armor from Castlevania: Lament of Innocence. Unfortunately, you never see him in this in-game, because he renounces his knighthood before the game starts. As such, it exists only in concept art - and as a cameo in the Netflix series.
It's overly flashy, but that's just my style.
I actually came to post the muscle armor from bram stoker's dracula but was beaten to the punch. Just rewatched it last week.Not a fan of massively overdesigned armours. I'm not against pauldrons or some ornate finery but some stuff just goes way overboard at times. Here's some I do like:
Drakeblood (left) and Forlorn (right) armour sets from Dark Souls 2:
Bayek's black hood armour in AC Origins:
Titania, Fire Emblem
Malek, Legacy of Kain (I dig the plumed, Predator-style helm and the runes on the plate)
I... legit didn't think anyone liked this. >.>
that is sickLots of good ones in this thread. Raf Grassetti's Yoshimitsu is pretty dope.
Agreed with your entire post. Creighton's armour is one of my favourites too.I've never played any Castlevania games, but that looks incredible. I hate that most fantasy armor looks like nonsensical bulky garbage with spikes and shit everywhere. The example above of a reasonably historical garb with mail, plate, and some nice heraldry is far more to my liking.
For my pick, I'd probably go with Creighton the Wanderer from Dark Souls II.
I'm a total sucker for surcoats/scapulars.
Batman's Predator armor has yet to be beaten by anything.
Hindarsfjall Armor from Witcher 3.
I like that it's mostly just mail and padding.
It's pretty much what I'd wear in that world.
So much better than Golden Freiza. What an abomination that was.Not sure if Armour or just body considering he transforms into it... But gonna post it anyway :p
Cooler dbz
It's Alphonse from The Full Metal Alchemist, simply the most badass armor ever! He's still out in your minds eye if you ain't got the balls to watch some anime though!
