Nothing says "Noble Knight" more than a gigantic codpiece

[saprin]

I prefer the thought that it was an inexperienced knight who first wore the armor, and upon setting sights on a scantily clad maiden he permanently dented his suit.

[luggy]

Armour always followed fashion trends, if you’re spending that much on something it’s always going to be more than purely practical, it’s going to be a status symbol and a fashion statement as much as possible,

[cosmicfails]

Pray your enemy isn't playing whack-a-mole with a Warhammer when you rock up in that armour

[axelrewop]

Well this is either a Knight with one hell of an inferiority complex or the armour of bigus, Knight of dickus.

Medieval weapons experts: "This weapon is too decorative, there's no point in these designs."
Meanwhile ACTUAL medieval armor:

[cruzaider]

*Meduca looks knight in the eye*
"W-why aren't you stone?!
"Baby I'm already as hard as steel"

[Pilachio]

This, and and muscle cuirasses are my go to response when people complain how boob armor is unrealistic. The idea itself isn't dumb, just the designs often are.

[WarConicX]

Lmao I have a feeling some mf with a war hammer or something aimed for that and hit it effectively turning it into a nutcracker its like in those boss fights where it shows you their weak spots to hit

[shuckieboi]

That wasn’t how the armor looked before the knight put it on…

[RatRatRattyRatRat]

When the GM tells you to make a strength check when fighting a succubus:

[wardenmain]

Knight: “Hey man, what if a knight gets hard?”


King: “ooooh shit. Yeah let’s made a special armor piece for that.

[xerkills]

That's what I been saying! If more women were actually on the battlefield there'd be pronounced boob armor like in the video games

[thebbqbandito]

Codpiece? More like God, he had a huge piece

[antoniocollazo]

So that’s what Giga Chad use to battle… Interesting

[polydot]

Imagine in medieval times this absolute beast is power walking towards you sword in hand

[Ryker]

I swear, medieval Europe had some DOOFY-ASS fashion sense!

[MuscleManSupreme]

Every fashion designer: *writes down vigorously*

[noone]

Whoever design that armour must be have huge *package*...

[doubleoduck]

"zamn that maid lookin kinda hot 🥵"
