Steel Spartan Helm EDIT.

Postby Ragefire » Mon Feb 06, 2012 6:32 pm

I have a steel spartan helm and I know that full rigid metal helms are illegal. I wasn't planning on using it, but a friend told me that these are not considered full helms. Who's right?

EDIT: I'm in the middle with a big grey sword.

EDIT 2: This is it, from google: http://www.getdressedforbattle.co.uk/ac ... helmet.jpg

I don't know why I can't reply to threads in the rules section, but thanks for the help, I assumed it wouldn't be legal so this isn't a huge disappointment. Better give Forkbeard a call...

We'd have to see a picture to make a call.

Some might argue that it's not a full helmet, but I would imagine that the vast majority of weapons checkers would fail that. It covers more than 90% of your head, which is easily enough to classify as a full metal helm.

Sorry, but not legal.
