It's like what the priests of Sigmar have in Warhammer. Yes, I know, I know, it's not fantasy, but it looks good, provides SOME protection, but not much, and is for someone slightly suicidal.
Flame away.

They were also cumbersome, clumsy and had very poor visibilty. Which is one of the reasons why after 1350 AD (or thereabouts) they were only used for tournements and lighter, more flexible helmets such as bascinets, then later sallets and armets were used instead.

I've got some pictures of grotesque helmets, as I mentioned before I personally am NOT in favour of these helmets as I feel that do not feel they fit in with the M&B setting because 1) most of these are 16th century helmets, not Medieval helmets and 2) because they are parade helmets and not designed for combat. In fact the decoration and embossing compromises their defensive properties.
Here you go, click on the thumbnails:
I suppose these would fit into the "other" category as "Renaissance parade helmets".

Seriously, WTF?
And yeah, they really don't have much of a place in native M&B. I would like to try modelling one of those some day, though.
