I wonder if that guy who was bitching about us talking about 40k in a Fantasy thread feels better now that we're arguing the semantics of armor labels.

He's probably still upset as we aren't properly distinguishing a hauberk from a haubergeon.

Skandranon posted:Same thing wrong with "chainmail" or "ringmail". The mail part implies the linked rings sort of armor, and is thus redundant. Ah yes, the traditional "you're stupid because you used a term which to laymen distinguishes between things, instead of the  correct technical term." This is indeed the Hammer Total: War War thread, carry on goonsir!

If you want to be even more pedantic the full suit of plate armor was called a harness by its contemporaries.

I saw an Age of Sigmar leak about GW turning Orcs and Goblins into Waaghkin lead by slender female Orcs that the leak claims are called Nigmos. Thank gently caress the Total War game is going to be in the old setting.

I believe the Waaaghkin leak has been demonstrated to be a 4chan troll. However, the release of the Sigmarines doesn't inspire confidence that GW isn't going to do something equally stupid.

The fact that the ornament isn't sagging under its own weight proves that its not solid gold; at best it's an alloy and more likely it's gold plated steel Also that is a loving fabulous helmet.

xthetenth posted:Which it isn't? The mail is on a lower layer to cover gaps in the plates, not to hold it together. That would be plate worn over mail. Plate mail involves small plates integrated into the mail suit itself, usually by looping the rings through holes around the sides of each plate.

One thing that makes it hard to keep my hype meter going is a lack of TIME Frame on the release. When must I have sufficient monies for my new computer so I can play this? anyone have ideas?
