Germanic weaponry and armor

Germanic swords
Some variants of anglo-saxon swords:




Spangenhelm
Different model.



Very rich one:

Saxon boar helmet
A must-have, the Wollaston helmet. Could have a variant with mail neckguard, and eventually lessblack.




Saxon battle axe
Axe in (d), it would be a single hand axe.

Angon
Germanic heavy barbed javelin. Several versions could be done. Not that it was quite long, 1.80m to 2m, with the iron part beeing the 1/3rd of the total lenght.

Here, several reproductions of it:


Frankish axehammer
Several axe heads. First one is good, it could be a 1h/2h weapon.

Cavalry axe
See in D. Note that it is not that massive. The shaft could be iron or wood.

Germanic shields
The Angle shield would be quite small, with a specific shaped shieldboss.

Several shieldboss variants (they lack the rivets which are quite big):

Geatish and Scylding helmet

Kaftan
A garnment of oriental origin. It could also be a civil garnment.

Here a padded version that could be armor:



Some Gesithas from Weorod group:

forth eorlingas!!

I would love to see that ingame, but unfortunately I am very incompetent when it comes to helmets. 

Vendel helmet by Tatari Okan:

I like it!

Dammit! That spangenhelm with eyeguard is hot as hell I'd love to see that in game.

Oh, and the one you already did is very good as well. I especially like the detailed texture. How big is it?

Movies should start employing and consulting re-enactors more.

All historical movies employ re-enactors. Literally every single one I've ever seen or heard of in the last 15 years. They just don't employ groups of re-enactors to design their costumes.

Anyhoo, that helm looks cool, but I'd like to see some more simple and less elaborately decorated helms for ordinary troops, and see exceptional equipment like that saved as equipment for lords to help mark them out on the battlefield. The pioneer helmet would be a great addition to the armoury:

Yes, I suggested it but your picture is really good. Several variations could be made. And I support the idea to have undecorated helmets for the soldiers. That kind of helmet, along with some other pieces of rich outfit and weaponry could well be restricted to kings and princes.
