Yeah, But I was kinda just trying to prove a point.Be wary of using that guy's art as evidence of anything because he usually just makes stuff up. Not saying that this one in particular is wrong, but he isn't a historian and his priority is making soldiers look le epic awesome rather than based on any actual sources.
yes i am trying to simply them
well since hes an andalusian its probably possible for him to get a kettle helmet but im not sure for other sultanates, emirates, shahdoms in the middle east. also that greek artist draws lots of innacurate stuff
yes that one is more correct, the one in the art looks like an european style kettle helmAlthough the guy always exaggerates the models, he is not misguided. This type of helmet is, after all, a variant of chapel de fer-capellinas / kettle hat - war hat; very much used by Andalusian troops (So...It is plausible that a "Saracen" would use this type of helmet...). You can take a look at the Cantigas de Santa María manuscripts of which I am very sure that @Al_Mansur was inspired for his magnificent models.

the outermer knight isnt a middle easterner
I feel like the current Aserai horse armor looks like from the 15th century or something, so I agree. Also, I think the faction colors in MP ruins the feeling for Aserai and other factions. I wish only the icons are colored, not the clothes/armor.
Oh yeah, my bad. He's a crusader.the certain type of helmet that the horseman (with the blue caparison) is wearing is a helmet with a mask commonly being used by cuman - kipchaks nomads (and probably other nomads like the volga bulgars or the earlier khazars) that lived around the volga river area and the pontic steppe, this certain type of war mask helmet have been found in lipovets, kovali mostly ( or all i think ) founded in nomadic burials, they were also probably worn by the khans or rich warriors or for heavy cavalry uses.

Agreed for Islamic Persian, but it's also lovely to see Arabs and Berbers. As for pre-Islamic Persians, I'd like to have late Sassanid armors if so.
Thank you! Yeah Bannerlord cover gave me the idea (which has already been evoked by other people in this thread) for this "Norman" Spoleto helmet (actually Italian and German but whatever). I thought the knee long scale cuirass would give too much of an Imperial/Byzantine vibe, so I went for this little torso cuirass, which by the way is in line with vanilla coat of plates regarding the area protected.
Still have to tweak the hauberk, add a sword belt and gilded spurs:
Very good job!Tried to refresh my blender and texturing knowledge by editing the infamous 'ravioli helmet'.
