The Count Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 (edited) Just a bit of fun, but how do you imagine a full shardplate to look? Even though I know it is not correct from the descriptions, I can't help but think of it as looking like Space Marine Power Armour. Just thinking of the scene in Dalinar's Midnight Essence Vision, I basically imagine Space Marines falling out of the sky and kicking chull with enormous swords... awesome!

Morsk Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Ever since Brandon said Shardblades are inspired by fantasy art, including fantasy art in video games, I've thought Shardplate looks like this Or this, except with better head and arm protection in both cases. At some point I'll probably back off and be slightly less fantastic, since in the books the armor seems to veer on the realistic side, with the swords being crazy art with a sharp edge somewhere. But right now I find it entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azul Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 well what I actually think it looks like and what i see in my head when I read don't always match All the description of interlocking plates and the internal straps tightning up on their own brings the image of power armor to mind, i just can't help it!
