Armour of the English Knight: 1440 - 1450

Source: Armour of the English Knight 1400-1450

Great Bascinet: Neckplates now quite closely shaped to the chin and throat, more closely resembling a bevor.

Cuirass: Skirts continue to shorten after 1440, especially with the introduction of the new Italianate tasset form. The english variation of the style usually includes sidetassets often of the same size as the front tassets. Hind-tasset design uncertain, but probably similar to those observed on Iberian and Italian export armour of the same period. Because of the shorter skirt, more of the mail skirt is visible, and is generally shown to be drawn down into long dags at the front, back and sides.

Pauldrons: Asymmetric fluted designs introduced, the right having either a large or small cut-out or "mouth" to accomodate couched weapons, the left fully covering the shoulder and upper arm, offering greater protection especially at the front. Arming points and underarm straps assumed to be present, although not depicted on the effegies.

Vambraces: The side-wings now take on a deeply fluted, shell-like form. Upper cannons closed with straps, lower cannons perhaps with loose-pin hinges or straps.

Gauntlets: Older hourglass form illustrated coexists with the newer type having an extended metacarpal plate.

Leg Armour: Introduction of diagonal flutes on the thigh-plates, new side-wing design to match the vambraces, and cusped uppermost poleyn lane and demi-greave.

Sabaton: Articulation lanes starting to be drawn out into points along the top of the foot. Continued and consistent use of downward lapping construction indicating use of internal leathers.

Oh pitiful shadows lost to the darkness

Malicious souls escaped from the depths of hell

I have found you guilty of unspeakable evils

As Jury and Executioner

Your life is forfeit to me.

We are the Angels of Death!

Now repent.

You Mother F***ers!

Oh hey look! Married people!

Just some little doodles of my comfort ship :’] been a little nervous about posting them but here they are lol

staring at this really hard. what do you mean. what do you meeaaaan

i just thought of something fucking funny

think of ezra's blaster-saber and how appalling it would be in huyang's mechanical eyes and memory circuits. thought about it?

good, because i'm gonna raise you a more atrocious creation that i think sabine should make.

think of one of sabine's vambraces, imbued with a retractable lightsaber so in case she loses grip of her actual lightsaber, she has a backup saber ready.

like yes, her vambraces are already equipped with a number of offensive and defensive mechanisms like her mini rockets, flamethrower, and grapplewire.

imagine adding a mini, shoto-like lightsaber into it.

that is the perfect Chaotic yet Practical weapon for a jedilorian such as sabine wren, and you can't convince me otherwise LMFAOAJDKSODKSO

say sabine had already built her own new lightsaber; it's beautiful and the hilt is very sabine-like. now, imagine that while choosing her crystal, another crystal calls to her, a much smaller one. so, without ahsoka or huyang knowing, sabine bonds with both.

when she heard mandalore is liberated and flourishing, she went there to see; where she was met again with bo-katan and introduced to the armorer. now that beskar ore isn't as scarce as it used to be, sabine requests the armorer if she could make an upgrade to her vambraces and her beskar.

sabine constructs her shoto lightsaber, and true to her guess, it's small enough to fit just right in one of her vambraces. the hilt of her shoto lightsaber is made of beskar as well, and when she assembles her new and upgraded vambraces, both bo-katan and the armorer was thoroughly shocked at sabine's new creation, but bo-katan wasn't entirely surprised that sabine thought of such weapon. the armorer didn't entirely agree with such creation, but she was impressed when sabine showed it in action.

sabine hadn't told ahsoka yet, but she kinda didn't have to, because bo-katan told the jedi master herself when sabine wasn't around. ahsoka came to mandalore to pick sabine up for a mission, and was welcomed by the mand'alor and the armorer.

"did you know that your apprentice built a small lightsaber and embedded it into one of her vambraces?" bo-katan casually mentioned to ahsoka over a drink, and the mand'alor had to hold her laugh at ahsoka's baffled expression on her face.

"what do you mean sabine built a lightsaber in her vambraces?" ahsoka repeated, still processing the information, fully facing the mand'alor now.

"this is true, i helped her make it," came in the armorer's voice, as bo-katan sips on her drink, "i, too, was like you. completely baffled by her proposition. but, the weapon does come in quite handy. especially for a mandalorian jedi such as her."

"i have an ancient jedi professor droid with me who would consider sabine's new creation atrocious." ahsoka sighed, earning a small laugh from bo-katan and the armorer. the jedi master shakes her head, not out of disdain, only amusement. "but, he doesn't need to know about it yet."

sabine eventually used it in battle with ahsoka, and was rather panicking when the battle ended and ahsoka saw the still ignited vambrace-saber. sabine tried to clarify whatever it is she thought she needed to clarify, but ahsoka only laughed, which further confuses sabine.

"don't worry," ahsoka said at her, patting her shoulder with a lingering laugh, "bo-katan and the armorer had already told me about it when i went to pick you up on mandalore."

"wait," sabine was in disbelief, "you're not... mad?"

ahsoka chuckled. "sabine, i'm not a lightsaber professor droid nor a purist. that's huyang's job. besides," she nudges at her padawan playfully, "we're both very far from traditional jedi. i wield two lightsabers, and you are a mandalorian jedi padawan who technically also wield two lightsabers."

sabine laughs, agreeing with ahsoka. "i suppose so."

"just make sure to keep it away from huyang," ahsoka said as they made their way back to the fulcrum, "that might send his wires loose."

BONUS:

ezra visited the fulcrum crew and sabine showed him the vambrace-saber, and ezra was so impressed and was actually excited about the creation that he was inspired to assemble an upgraded version of his old blaster-saber. he wanted to make a pair; one for himself, and the other for sabine.

huyang found out about both atrocities, and since then, neither sabine or ezra were allowed to set foot inside his lightsaber assembly/storage area without his or ahsoka's supervisions. despite everything, huyang had to admit to himself, against his own will, that sabine's vambrace-saber and ezra's blaster-saber are rather effective weapons.

disney/filoni if you ever adopt this chaotic weapon idea design @ me so i can get my coins

Armour of the English Knight: 1430-1445

Source: Armour of the English Knight

Helmet: Great bascinet skull tending to be less pointed and more rounded. The outer front neck plate starting to be subtly shaped to the chin and throat. Cuirass: Two-part design generally adopted by 1430. Plackart generally attached to the upper breastplate by means of a central strap and side-straps, although the side-straps become less common after 1440. The same essential construction appears to be employed in the rear. Waist lame and skirts worn as a separate assembly from the upper and lower breast- and backplates, allowing waist pivoting and rotation. The skirt itself reaches its greatest length, reaching almost beyond the mid-thigh, with no mail visible below it. Tassets introduced as narrow, oblong plates strapped to the front and sides of the lowermost lame of the skirt. Shoulder Defences: Spaudlers worn with ovoid or heater-shaped besagews, now often fluted and slightly concave in form. The spaudlers beginning to be extended at the back to increase protection and maintain overlap with the backplate when in motion. Usually designed to extend up to the sides of the neck, underlapping the base of the great bascinet. Vambraces: Remain symmetrical with fully-enclosed upper and lower cannons, largely unchanged from the previous decade apart from the design of the wing, which is starting to be sculpted more deeply into the bend of the elbow. Gauntlets: Usually now a more advanced form of the fingered hourglass design, having a pointed cuff and articulated wrist. Leg armour: Demi-cuisses disappearing, poleyn wing now beginning to be shaped into the back of the knee. Fully enclosed cuisses and greaves hinged on the outer faces and closed with either straps or loose- pin clasps on the inner faces. Sabatons: Overplates now discarded in favour of a simpler construction of straight-edged lames of roughly equal width. At this time some sabatons appear to have had articulated plates running up the ankle and under the front of the greave.

I may have gotten too into "redraw"ing it last night.

so is anyone going to come up with an AU where Order 66 didn't happen and luke and leia and ezra are training at the jedi temple and they're besties and shin hati is the feral chaos gremlin youngling that they've adopted as their little sister or am i gonna have to do that myself

From what’s been released from the Ahsoka series so far, we know that Sabine still has her Mandalorian vambraces.

This means that in addition to the grappling line she has paralyzing darts and a repulsor. I wonder if we will see her use those weapons in her fight with the mysterious helmeted man?

She’s used the repulsor on Ezra before in Star Wars Rebels. What if she (temporarily) paralyzed this guy with her darts? He falls to the ground, loses his helmet, revealing his dark shaggy hair. On impulse, Sabine removes his mask, revealing that he is Ezra Bridger in disguise.

She would have an “oh no, what have I done?” moment while he lies there with a silly, love struck grin frozen on his handsome face.

Unable to control her emotions, Sabine kneels beside him, ranting about Ezra sacrificing himself to save everyone and then leaving her without telling her the plan. She sobs uncontrollably while stroking his hair and caressing his scarred cheek.

Ezra begins to stir a little. “I wanted it to be a surprise,” he says weakly.
