They're masterworks all, can't go wrong.

My recreation of the Gran Soren shield, out of historical materials, ready for armed combat.

@PatrickDusablon @Swordaholic I believe all 3 of these are from Malleus Martialis

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.

@xIngenue Like others said, I keep going back to the "classics" of fiction, but something that you might like, would be stuff like "The Ill-Made Knight" by Christian Cameron. Fiction heavily inspired by real historical events. Great stuff, but doesn't quite scratch that "fantasy" itch...

[Acherontic Arts @TheComfyKnight]

@xIngenue For me, Fromsoft, and few other Japanese creatives, have a reverence, understanding, and respect for western history, culture, and folklore, that even the west themselves completely fails to compete with. I struggle with things not made by history nerds these days. (1/2)

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

Yeah screw it, I'll fight a longsword with my broadsword. Gotta get better somehow.

[Acherontic Arts @TheComfyKnight]

@MarsdanVM I wouldn't trade my mask for the world. I've tried tons of modern hema masks and keep going back to mine. But unfortunately it's an older model made by Terry Tindill, and I don't trust the safety of newer masks made in the same style very easily.

[Acherontic Arts @TheComfyKnight]

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.

[Acherontic Arts @TheComfyKnight]

@lgnFernandezl This is not a horsebow mask, it is an original Terry Tindill mask thankfully. I have had very poor experience with "horsebows" products.

[Master@Arms @LondonLongsword]

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.
