For those wondering what those sets of armor are:
1. Early XVII century Savoyard-style three-quarters cuirassier's munition armour (a type of a mass-produced armor).
2. Early XVII century Arquebusier armor, consisting of elbow gauntlet, a cuirass and a lobster-tailed pot helmet (Pappenheimer).
3. Early XVII century English pikeman cuirass with morion-type helmet.
4. End of XIV century Churburg-style armor, one of the early types of plate armor, with a bascinet helmet and Hundsgugel (Dog's face) visor.
5. That's a terrible reconstruction of XV century Milanese armor I guess, due to assymetrical spaulders and a hook on the right side of the breastplate, but the assymetry should be focused on making the left side more armoured, and not the right, that bascinet helmet is of late XIV and early XV century, while white armor, which is an armor uncovered by cloth, started appearing in the third decade of XV century, and the brestplate shape is hideous, the armor is ugly and historically inaccurate.
6. Early XIII century chainmail (based on how short the mail hauberk <shirt> is compared to earlier chainmails) and an enclosed helmet, known also as early great helm.
7. That's some strange set of armor consisting of plate armor of late XIV to early XV century, a cuir boulli breastplate (perhaps?) with a chain suggesting rather first half of XIV century, and a great helm from second half of XIV century with a crest and a torse (that fabric at the back of the head), suggesting purely representational and tournamental use, it wasn't used in combat.
8. Late XVI century corselet armor. Both armet-type helmet, assymetrical spaulders with left side of the body better protected, and a hook on the right side of the breastplate suggest Italian origin or at least style inspiration.
9. Late XVI century parade armor "alla Romana", basically a XVI century imagination of an ancient Roman armor.
10. That's some kind of ceremonial armor but couldn't find any info about it.
11. XVII century Winged Hussar's armor with szyszak-type helmet, a type known elsewhere as zischagge or aformentioned lobster-tailed pot helmet. Worth to mention that these huge wings were only part of ceremonial equipment and in such a form only in XVIII century, when Winged Hussars served only as representational unit and served no combat role.
12. Late XVI century parade armor of Erik XIV of Sweden.
13. Early XVII century heavy cavalry three-quarters armor
14. Second half of XVI century, a truly magnificent full plate armor of the King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania Sigismund II August.

"The Templar is truly a fearless knight, and secure on every side, for his soul is protected by the armour of faith, just as his body is protected by the armour of steel. He is thus doubly armed and need fear neither demons nor men." —St Bernard de Clairvax

Some of the weird armors are arguably more intimidating. That one with the smiling face would make me crap my pants if it was running after me.

0:36 I think the designer was trying to imitate faces you see medieval art like on tapestries. It’s the equivalent of someone making a emoji helmet.

The jousting armor with the great helm at 24 secs in actually looks awesome to me

Hey now! 17th century pikeman armor is actually quite ingenious. It's designed so that it can be mas produced and worn by a wide arrange of soldiers. No matter their body type.

Charles the Bold of Burgundy had some next level drip. He had a full set of plate armor that was all gilded- covered from head to toe in gold- with a ruby the size of an infant's head on the helm
Emperor Maximilian also had some BALLER sets of armor, especially the full set of gilded Gothic Plate with the salet. That is peak plate armor aesthetic IMO!

The armor at 0:22 is probably for someone who will only taunt the enemy, like a battle jester

Looks like the Knight’s armour from Elden Ring, one of my favourite armour sets

Covers a lot, especially the joints, very important, if your joints get injured it could very well be game over, the helmet’s design is decent, and plate armour in general is always a win

Love how the armors are chosen by how cool they look rather than how useful they were in their times.

0:16 Wow, that's a hell of a mismatch, what happened there?

This type of armor was the lates armor developet in medieval times
It was made with hardened steel and could take on any other weapon with ease, mace, war hammer or hell even pole hammers it didn't matter you could take the hit and still be fine as long as it's not your head getting hit
The still was so good that the made the armors thinner (because they didn't need to wear paddings or leather under it)
Too bad we don't see that much tho

[norskhuauei]

It should have included armors from early medieval and antiquity + other geographical regions.

Fact that Hussar armor has Doom music going with it- brings a smile to my face for som many different reasons

[zszywek.]

Theres armor of husaria. Im proud of my country🇵🇱

[edi]

Just remember that even the ugliest and most outlandish pieces probably costed more in their production than your home would be worth today.

0:42 those helmets were made to intimidate or scare he opponent due to the horrifying faces on there.

the last soundtrack brings me memories. "where is alice?"

I respect the acceptance of armet helms (or similar looking helmets) as superior 10/10
