Horse Steel Armor

Recommended Posts

Horse Plate would be very heavy and slow the horses down alot, i mean there is horse plate/mail armour that has plate over the vitals and chain all around

I don't see why not, but there would just be a huge speed penalty is all

+1

+1 but i wouldn't want to see steel used, the new iron sheets is an idea but not steel

Chain bardings already slow the horse down considerably, idk if plate would be doable...

Not even going for the realism card, since a plate horse armor would have to look badass...

Just not very useful.

Imagine a battle group of 20 soldiers arriving beefed up with top of the line gear and horses in fearsome Steel Armor? That would look awesome ;D

I would put the steel on my back up horse that is only ridden once combat has started for height bonus speed wouldn't matter

+1 since we already have chain barding.

But with the natural weight progression of cloth -> leather -> chain -> plate, the horse would be moving very very slowly.

Even with traits and horseshoes etc...

Yeah, but the enemy would outrun them on foot XP

Look awesome yes... also make a nice target for a group of 5 people on horses with leather barding using bows
