Pics of female fighters/knights in realistic armor?

[nedjer]

Came across pictures of medieval armour kits last week - had no idea they sometimes had to wear a padded coat, chainmail and hard armour. The heat would be bad in the UK, but must have been unbelievable on a crusade.

Google Joan of Arc or Jeanne D'Arc. You might find something you can use. This one looks alright: Fondos de Escritorio > Entretenimiento > Juegos > Joan of Arc, Wars and Warriors, 2004 | Descargar Fondo, papel tapiz 1024x768

I nearly snorted Coke Zero when I saw the picture you posted. As a woman who has worn garters to hold up stockings I can tell you that those thin straps would never hold armor leggings they would break from the weight or hang loosely and be droopy.

Those garters are of elven make, though. Much stronger than they look.

(no comments about magic underwear, please)

But, that pic is what I was going for other than the naked thighs and garters.

Ahh well that is different those are mithral garters.

It was just a weird picture to me it was like seeing a woman on the top dressed in a business jacket and blouse and the bottom is a bikini. My roommate's comment was what it's laundry day and her pants are still in the wash.

One of my frustrations over the years has been finding decent minis and pictures of female adventurers.

true, there are not a lot of decent female warrior miniatures (wizards and clerics aplenty, though)

and, there are some muscular warrior women pictures - but, almost all of them are barbarian types without a lot of armor.

This one isn't bad:

It is better now then it used to be. I remember back in the early 80s going nuts trying to find a female wizard who was not half dressed or topless.

This is better. I just wish they would stop drawing them with metal bras it looks dumb to me. Talk about having to fit the armor just to that woman. Woman sometimes wore armor back in the middle ages and they just took a cloth and bound their breasts.

I would like to see pictures more like that.

But at least she is fully covered which is the point of heavy armor.

True - she's fully covered and she doesn't seem to have waif-like arms that would tire after swinging anything heavier than a wand. If Linda Hamilton can be muscular in Terminator 2, I don't see why a strong woman warrior in D&D can't have muscles, too. (I'm anxious to see how they do Brienne in A Game of Thrones on HBO)
