A metalworker’s look on fantasy armour suits
The statement this armor makes: You really, really like death. As in, you alone rule over legions of the undead, all from the comfort of the Frozen Throne. Also, you have no qualms wearing metal plating in sub-zero temperatures, and your helmet doubles as a radio antenna or tuning fork in a pinch.Now, what does this say of big hat Chaos Dwarfs? Suicidally stylish or too thick-necked to break? :hat
Should you wear it in a fight? No, unless you want your neck snapped. “Any time you put structures up on the helmet, that gives me a good handhold to grab it and twist your head right off your neck,” says Johnson. “It’s just leverage; if there’s any way to hit that, grab it, push it, your head isn’t strong enough to stop that from happening.”

Helmet crests are not such a huge disadvantage in and of themselves, though. If you’re within reach of grabbing your opponent’s helmet, they’re likely down or dead already.
