Mongol Armor?

You arent being an arse at all, those are in fact cleats. I have a foot drop which resulted from paralysis. They corrected most of my problems with surgery but they couldnt correct that. So I find when I fight outside on grass I need the cleats or else I have a world of problems. I tried my ass off to make the proper boots to cover them, but I couldnt figure out how to do the toes properly. So I did the best I could and that was to make the upper parts of the boots and put them on over top of the cleats. From a distance it looks ok. I'm not happy with the looks 100% but for now its a lot better than just the cleats alone. Since this isnt choreographed fighting there are performance issues I have to contend with as well as looking the best I can historically.

I'm in the middle with the red spear in this shot, you get a better idea of hte whole effect.

how the f**k would chinese look like that! we look like this~

The armor from Han Wu Da Di is highly inaccurate.  Great series and songs, but not very accurate in terms of military uniform.  Clay figurines dating from the Former Han Dynasty show that Han infantry did not have plate armor, and Former Han soldiers rarely wore metal helms that covered the head entirely.   The helms shown are more indicative of the Northern Wei helms circa 500 A.D. 

The series can be ordered at the following link, It's the third one from the bottom. Even tho it's in Mandarin it's a great series. It covers his life from birth to his death.

According to Carpini, shields were rare, and were mostly used on guard-duty

Reynolds' drawing resembles a timurid cavalryman rather than a 13th century mongol
