They were cooler.
Sassanid cataphracts looked cooler than crusaders

looks like the easterlings

Looks like a little bitch desu. I think any Christian would destroy him with ease
Justin Young
This is gay and fake. Too shiny and decorated for actual battle, and actually too flimsy.
Look up Parni/Parthian and Saka cataphracts.
Scale, lamellar and chain were used lavishly.
Adrian Allen
son you must choose pauldron
will you choose shiny christmas bauble or actual armor?

Bruh just look at how small the handles are for their weapons. What kind of fairy princess bullshit are you trying to shill here?
Colton Rodriguez

Wyatt Hernandez
This triggers the /his/ and the /k/.
Jack Reyes
He looks like he let the fags of his time decorate him. Sorry but crusaders were iconic, you have shitty taste.

Sorry, but I only kneel to fire, not the Cross of a dead Jew.
Hunter Garcia
Looks gay and flamboyant like all eastern cultures.
Nolan Scott
It looks heavily borrowed from Asian armor, much like silk, math, "spanish tiles," and other shit they procured from Asia.
Justin Price
This is probably how they looked, I think.
Lucas Morgan
I like this helmet of a Sassanid king.
Aaron Sullivan
I don't think plate armor was around the time the Crusades happened.
Kayden Morris
>15th century armour with an 12th century helmet
Aiden Sanders
Looks like playing mmorpg character with assorted armor instead of a full set
Joseph Cruz
It wasn't, but the Knights Templar continued to exist. The use of a great helm is strange though.
Matthew Price
Oh yeah,i forgot about them.Anyways,by reverse searching the image i got a site that sells armors,with the offer to switch to Italian,so i guess it was made by Italians,and that it sells better with most iconic helmet for Templars.
