[Suggestion]More helmets for Vaegirs

[inox_ionizer]

Compared to the other factions, the Vaegirs have very few helmets. One for infantry, one for archers, and I guess only one or two for cavalry. I suggest the nomad cap becomes available to all Vaegir classes, so infantry (and cavalry if they don't already have it) get a cheap helmet. The archers should get the option for something better, like the spiked helmet. In addition, some new helmets would be nice. Would something like these be reasonable historically accurate and cool?

Edit; another facemask helmet, but with scales instead of mail:

1 for archers also unless you consider the santa hat a 'helmet'

Ah, thank you. Edited a bit. Also, found another facemask helmet which would maybe fit more with the current armours of the Vaegirs.

 

[Merlkir]

Yesss! Those facemask helmets would be LOVELY for vaegirs!

Yeah, I hope theyll soon get something new to put on their heads. There was a thread about it couple of months ago.
Archers need some kewl woolen hats like here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q16kNJXAhy8 . Though I guess they were a little bit later, like a couple ages later xD .

There's two other fur-lined caps other than the nomad cap lying around in the game files, and they'd be splendid for the Vaegirs. Additionally, I think the armor value of the nomad cap should be increased a little bit, considering that it is made out of metal.

The first and easiest step to giving the Vaegirs more helmets is to simply give their infantry and horsemen the nomad cap that the archers already have. After that I do like the idea of face masks. I would say lower the cost and value of the spiked helmet, and insert these face mask helmets as their highest tier helmets.

 

[Sir Pwn-A-Lot]

Nomad caps are too... steppe for Vaegirs, they dont suit em at all.

 

[Kleidophoros]

Well the santa hat offers more protection than the nomad cap

 

[PsykoOps]

Yeah but I think it would be a bad idea to keep them beyond next patch. Or you can imagine yourself in the middle of summer fighting elves...

 

[Temuzu]

Holy ****, those full face helms look so badass, no man on earth, well maeby olo, would have the guts to face a bardiche wielding Vaegir!

 

[Ograv]

I have to say, those faceguard-helmets look great!

 

[Corinthian Hoplite]

Facemask!

Also, a cheaper helmet.

Wow, some of those models are amazing. It's a Russian-themed mod for Mount and Blade, right? I hope they make it for Warband too.

Yup, and it's currently in open beta-test, so you can try it out. Models and textures are really amazing for fan-made mod.

I'd love a facemask helm for Vaegir cavalry and spearmen!  They should get the nomad cap as well.  It's distinctive, flavorful and, well, hawt.

Helmets are hot as hell, but need some tweaking I think.

1) Chainmail neckguard isn't shiny like any other mail in game. Compared to Sarranid awesome voile helm Vaegir-ones look like plastic toys (sarranid mail boots and mail mittens have the same problem if I recall correctly) . And yes, it's a BIG deal.
2) Archers nomad cap now looks way out of place because of difference between metal cap textures.
3) Masked helmet is... dunno. Creepy (in a bad, pedo-rapist way) face texture and mask itself (looks too small) could use a little bit work. Not too important though and actually I really appreciate that they were added at all.
4) Not crucial, but neckguard at the back hang down too straight, that looks a little bit strange if you look from a side (could use a little more angle) . Noble helmet is also positioned a little bit unnatural. I think the problem is that helmets were rotated a little after completion, or just because mail is pretty long.
Mask helm got it right though:

Lies! It's fantastic, the only thing that would make it better would be the addition of a moustache, and perhaps it could be a bit larger.
