They're masterworks all, can't go wrong.
My recreation of the Gran Soren shield, out of historical materials, ready for armed combat.
Special thanks to @goidanokei

Because their artists study and reference historical arms and armor first and foremost before putting their fantasy spin on it. Few others do. This grounds the designs and makes them more understandable and believable to us, they are based on real things designed for real humans.

If there’s one thing I absolutely love about visiting medieval places, it’s imagining what life was like back then. This tower in particular was la Tour César at Provins, which was used as a refuge and prison for very long since the 12th century. I filled it with goobers💫

The guards. The gatekeeper archetype is one of the essential elements of fantasy storytelling.

A VERY large % of the jousters I know are women.
Horse girls can be found far easier than horse guys (Remember the Rohirrim in Lotr?)
And women like armor too

The fundamentals class went entirely single handed this week. Working through everything from Talhoffer to Joachim Meyer and Achille Marozzo, then as a treat bringing everyone into some freeplay.

Changing sides from above, for a little Achille Marozzo refresher with the beautiful work of @bluedogforge

Alta’d images and attacks from the high guard. Great fun and great focus in the sword and buckler class, working with plays from the Anonimo Bolognese.

I keep forgetting to post to twitter, always a hard balance between distancing myself from social media and actually engaging with fencing communities.
Anyways, I started doing broadsword, big fan of the blackfencer one so far.

Going through the first section of Marozzo to take it back to class. Where the heck did the extra cut come from

Something that doesn’t get enough love.
“Dusk” by Owen Bush, so sharp its vorpal.
Treasured, it sits deep in the hoard.
