Mongolian armor

[The Computer Illiterate]

I was looking at the mongol models and am wondering what style of armor they are wearing. It looks incredibly baggy compared to other types of armor (even other lamellar armor types, which is what mongols favor).

I'm just wondering what the mongols are specifically wearing to make their appearance so different.


Examples are the Turhagut and Khorchi.

[Basileus of Byzantium]

It's their style of lamellar. I think what makes them look big/baggy is because of those shoulder pieces and perhaps even the stature of the Mongols themselves.

The Mongol models are from Rusichi TW and their models for other nations were similarly "baggy". It is probably a reflection of the Russian aesthetic, rather than anything specific about the armour.
