I was very happy when Geobra released number 23, it's a nice enhancement to number 24 and very useable for creating soldier, guard or crusader armies. Nice summary picture, btw Pynedor!  :wave:

Thanks! :) I only wish that I had all of the helmets myself. I had to add some of those images in.

Many thanks for the very interesting picture.

You're welcome. I hope it is easier to talk about the helmets when they are numbered. :)

Great reference pic, Pynedor! I love each and every one of these helmets  :love:
I do have some trouble combining each helmet with different armour and I believe I've used number 7 the least of all, but I still like it a lot!!!

7 is rather new though, so that might be the reason. :lol: I bought a few of the Templar 4670, and I really like the great helm design, but the opening for this one seems a bit strange to me. It's still a cool helm though.

I think it goes well with the typical arm greaves and that silly looking half plate chest armour. Its always good to see the split skirt legs combined with it...

OH yes!! a huge helmet, chromed with three feathers on top. It covers the head down to the shoulders. It's huge! I had forgotten about those.  :love:

oops.. the one I meant is number 21 but chromed.
 rhalius did you mean another one?  ???

I did mean that one, never had one of those but judging from pictures its still a bit different than 21?

It does seem a bit special to me either way though, considering that its the first real knight helmet made for playmobil. Earlier where only soldier helmets.

It looks fine in the 4670 set, except that the legs of the figure are gold for some reason... :-\

If you are thinking of the one I think you are, then I believe it is the same as 21, or maybe just a less detailed version of it without the rivets.
