Dale helm

[BulSoldier]

Well ispired by the Soul Reapir model of rhun soldier i decided to make a helm of dale faction.Human helmet.I used the Alletun tutorial and well here what I made.My first attempt , if any moder could give advice or two how to improve my work (with my extensive background ). And may be if i improve enought could help with 1-2 ingame models.

(yes i know the face drawing of the helm looks amaizingly stupid )

Not bad. But I dont know for what kind of units we could use it. We allready have two unique helmets for Dale. And for Dale Knights I'm making another type of helmets

Thats a very good looking helm for sure but I can't help notice the Greek influence, I would have thought that they would have a Saxon-Norman style culture similar to medieval England due to their love of Longbows.

Alot of things in Tolkein's world where inspired by real life things, such as Shelob, who was inspired by when Tolkein himself, as a child had an unfriendly encounter with a taranchela (sorry, I don't know how to spell that word.

Actually this is more like pot helm than the greek helmets.Though this one shares from both cultures and styles.I done it as simpkle as possible because of two reasons.FIrst i dont have the skill to create a beautiful and detailed helms as shown in movies and as tolkien described them (well i havent met dale helm decripion, may be in hobbit there is).But i was thinking since they werent very powerful neither rich , they could use more practical and efficient things.
Non of these matters now.Well i hope before modders do mordor or isengard helmets, I could produce something useful

If you want to make realistic Dale helmets you should search pictures of helmets of anglo-saxons, vikings and other North European folks.

Most of Dale hrelmets created in base of Merlkirs art. But helmet armour of Dale Knights would be created on recomendations what gived me Sigmar. One of Masters of SiCh Guild. He is professional historical reconstructor, fencer and very knowledgeable in Norman and Viking history and weapons.
