The aura from the great helm cannot be matched.
If someone in a Great Helm declared “None shall pass!” I must take it seriously.
The hounskull on the other hand…
If I had to choose for combat I’d pick frog-mouth. The angle of the armor really matters so the crossbow bolts bounce off or need to penetrate a more steel for same weight.
Can’t beat the chad aura of the great helm though. Best helm for looksmaxxing when you have a chill garrison position.
I was about to come in here and say the same thing. The great helm is iconic, but the frogmouth is just both cool and practical.
I looked it up, frog-mouth sucks unless you’re jousting. You can’t see unless you’re leaning forward, can’t breathe properly etc. Turns out great helm is great.
The Sallet is generally paired with the most badass armors but if we’re only going by helmet looks, I’d go with the Frog-Mouth. It hits different.

It also gets hit different.
Not gona lie seems awfully inconvenient in light rain shower.
"Oh my poor, poor valiant knight, tell me how did he parish. Like a lion fighting to his last breath? "
"Well you see my lady, there was this rain cloud. "
Frog-mouth gang rise up.
Obviously Hounskull! Breathing room, full head and neck protection, plus you look like a mechahound!
The Sallet in this pic is great for breathability as well, there is open space between the helmet & the bevor (the jaw/neck protection)
Can fully smoke a J up there any you just look like a stylish incense burner
Hotbox the Hounskull!
Frog mouth! Frog mouth!
I have worn exactly half of these, and since I not that great at tournaments, I can say that KettleHat is the most fun for audience, you will definitely hear every bang like a church bell. The first is quite comfy (never heard of this name though). GreatHelm / Armet / Hounskull - damn bro, you can’t see shit in those while having trouble breathing, and all that for the trade of security :/, no like, feels like you are just a target in the field. Your Bascinet here is extreemely open, it’s a good helmet, but I would like to have some more face cover. Sallet, wore it once, many years ago, memories are fairly good.
We discussed this before.
Is that Phoenician? This is in a museum in my town: https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tumba_del_guerrero
They have entire grave of a Phoenician mercenary there.
I don’t know if the plume is historically accurate but the base is Corinthian
So that was a Greek mercenary that served in Phoenician army and he was using Greek armor. Interesting.
I don’t think in warfare they had a rule that if someone made an armor design you can’t use it anymore. So it could as much be just a Phoenician.
didn’t they have patent law back then?
Ok, the article says it was ‘probably’ a Greek mercenary. They say the helmet was probably from Greece because of the decorations. They say he also had some jewelry with Egyptian goddess Sekhmet and inscription in hieroglyphs talking about Necao I. And the son of Necao I was the first pharaoh that started hiring Greek mercenaries. So it’s possible it was a Greek warrior that fought with Egyptians and later Phoenicians. Interesting life for VI century B.C.
travel the world, kill random people, collect souvenirs - join the pharaoh’s army now
The Sallet just does it for me, not sure why
Because it’s easier to breathe and more comfortable. It has less protection, but the majority of the time you’re not being stabbed in the face.
Of course that one time you are being stabbed in the face, you’re really going to have some regrets.
“What are you going to do, stab me?” - man who was stabbed in the face.
Hounskull has you looking like Sam the Eagle
How do you even see out of most of these? Doesn’t an attacker just have to jauntily skip behind the helmet wearer and become effectively invisible?
Not very well but the closer a hole is to your eyes the more you can see out.
BreedingBreathing holes on the mouth and nose can also help you see downwards. I think most medieval battles were fought in formations, your enemies were in front of you, if someone was allowed to “skip back behind you” something already went really wrong.That makes sense.
Not very well if Kingdom Come Deliverance has taught me anything.
“Jesus Christ be praised!”
Me anytime I actually manage to hit my oponent
And where I learned Cumins are not what makes Mexican food amazing.
Spangenhelm has that unmatched aura
Frogmouth. Its so goofy and cute
Spangenhelm.
What happens with the frog-mouth if it rains?
Hydration!
Great helm, it’s a great helm, it’s in the name, what more is there to say?
