She's absolutely badass and it has been assumed in the IMCF community that this action figure is based off of her armour:

and the extra frills could become painful and cut off circulation under all that weight or on a horse. I mean, why would you do that?

Actual equestrian underwear is usually mostly seamless and looks like this or this. You can get cute prints but come on, you aren't going into battle in that frilly nonsense.

>The heater shield was a revised version of the kite shield. The late medieval armor allowed the kite shield to be made smaller, and it's shape led to later historians dubbing it the "heater shield."

>The heater shield or heater-shaped shield is a form of European medieval shield, developing from the early medieval kite shield in the late 12th century as depicted in the great seal of Richard I and John. The term is a neologism, created by Victorian antiquarians due to the shape's resemblance to a clothes iron. Smaller than the kite shield, it was more manageable and could be used either mounted or on foot.

Today you learn about the heater shield, since you decided to call hers a kite shield.

Some googling later and I'm pretty sure it actually is an Anduril or Narsil replica.

Amazon has all of that stuff, and it's not outrageously expensive if you're putting together full plate and doing your own leatherwork to go along.

Im not sure who the actual artist is, as far as i am aware its not in the article but this is the article its from so ill just say it belongs to Games Workshop and Creative Assembly to comply with the rules, hope that is grand.

>will there be a campaign for them?

It's hard to say. As far as I know, there hasn't been a campaign specifically developed to ship with the game since the original Heir to the Throne campaign a decade ago.

What happens is we take high quality user made campaigns (available on the add-on server) that stay true to the original Wesnoth gameplay style and bring them into the fold. They get cleaned up (plot holes, bugs, canonical inconsistencies, tomato surprises, awkward dialog, translations). They get prioritized for new art. And they get shipped with future versions of the game.

So it entirely depends on the fans. I mean the entire "Khalifate" faction started as a fan project. Its creator paid so much attention to balancing it against the default factions that the decision was made to polish it up and make it official.

I imagine there will be a campaign for them eventually. They're based in Persian culture and mythology. It's a great change of style that someone out there will want to tell a compelling story with.

Where did they come from? How did they arrive on this continent? How will they interact with the kingdom of Wesnoth? Or maybe the entire campaign takes place away from Wesnoth. I'm sure they have their own problems at home. There's a lot of opportunity and room to maneuver with them.

>Dear god I had forgotten how much I absolutely adore the sprite work in this game.

You would probably also enjoy Frogatto and Friends then. Richard Kettering is the art director on both games. He's the primary artist for Frogatto. His high standards and his experience really show. You see all these other games these days adopting crappy pixel art because they think it's easy and "retro", but this guy loves and understands the medium. Like holy shit.

You can find cheap shirts online pretty much anywhere. The better the quality the higher the price. amazon sells one for 40 bucks - not gonna be as nice as OP's but it's chain mail.

Yep! Right here!!

I also have a self-published novel which takes place 11 years before TMP, it’s called KNIGHT OF ASH: THE VENOMOUS TEMPEST and is about Yara when she first becomes a dragon huntress

Fortunately, this piece is linked to a pretty darn good Young Adult novel, part of a series based on classic fairy tales.

It's a bit of a false dichotomy debate too - armor doesn't necessarily need to be exactly realistic for a fantasy production. But when the women are all wearing bikinis, the suspension of disbelief is really hard.

Put another way, when I argue against bikini armor I'm not saying 'women in fantasy should only wear burkas.' There's obviously fashion and outfit design that serve some combination of function and appeal, and it's a sliding scale.

A great example, although like everything YMMV, is the new Warrior armor coming for FFXIV. It's inarguably not functional, and I wouldn't argue with folks who say there's just no need for the midriff and short-shorts/thigh high combo. But it's deep enough into fashionable and well-themed territory that I think it's just cool.

> That sword is massive

???

It's just fine of a size.

It's a 5-6ft long greatsword and probably weighs all of 9-10 lbs, if not less. My 2h longsword I have hanging downstairs weighs 5 lbs.

This is a real 5 ft long greatsword and weighs... wait for it...

6 lbs.
