I'm starting to paint up my first unit of Zweihanders - and have some questions about armour.
Some of the chaps are wearing helmets (this is pretty obvious, even to me!)
Do some have breast plates? For instances the pose with the sword held two-handed over his head, and the standard bearer, what about the one holding his dagger in the right hand? Lots of the poses have their arms in front of the body, so its not too important.
Some seem to have some plates at the top of their legs - are these armour?
Ultimately in 10mm I know that I can choose to paint a chest as a breast plate, or as a puffed out jacket. But it would be good to know what the intention is (or what was typically worn historically)
