What medieval helmet each primarch would wear (plus explanation)
I saw someone talking about guns the other day, so I might as well do the version that I think way too much about.
Gullyman: A basic armet, because it's basic.
Dorn: Spoleto bascinet, because it's also basic, but thinks it's really cool.
Lion: Greathelm, because he's a knight.
Mortarion: Kettlehelm with bevor, because it's a kind of helmet usually used by basic foot troops rather than nobles, just adapted with even more protection.
Fulgrim: Frogmouth helm, because it was used a lot during jousts and duels. Also it's a little silly.
Lorgar: Henry VII's sick ass helmet, because he's a nerd demon.
Corvus: haha bird
Konrad: Hounskull, 100% vibes based. It's got a kind of creepy alien feeling, which just fits him well.
Angron: Sallet, because it was used during the hundred year's war and saw a lot of fighting. Very much a brutal design for loads and loads of combat.
Horus: 14th century greathelm, because it's a helmet we usually associate with nobility, turned steadily more brutal over centuries of use.
Vulkan: Tournament bascinet, because it looks kinda like an oven, and I think vulkan would do tournaments.
Magnus: honestly i completely ran out of ideas, so we're going with a basic kettlehelm because it was used during the hussite wars, and magnus feels kinda hussite-y.
Perturabo: Bellows sallet. He would definitely talk a lot of shit about how the more efficient curving of the grill deflects 10% more efficiently or something, when he's really just mad angron got to wear the basic sallet.
Kahn: Rus helmet. Hey did you know the mongols conquered a ton of russia? And almost conquered europe decimating the flower of european knighthood in the process and helped expose europe to the rest of the world. they gave up though, because europe was too poor and they were running out of grass. history is neat!
Alpharius: Fox grotesque maximillian helmet, because i mean come on. tricksters, foxes, sick ass designs, etc etc.
Ferrus: you know i had to do it to em (okay seriously he'd probably wear a great bascinet)
