Greetings to all

Tis is my first post here so i hope i put it in the wright place, and btw my english isnt that good (great start i made here

)

To keep my post short, my question, can someone help me with some research, pictures or sites about lamellar helmets. why? i love to try to recreate ancient armor. i started by making some leather stuf and then jumped to chainmaille (4 in 1 pattern). Now i want to try to make a helmet but i dont have the tools to make a 'normal' one piece helmet. Working on small pieces of metal or leather isnt a issue and mutch more fun to do.

first some pictures of a lamellar helmet
i think it is a hunnic helmet, probable from a nobel cavalry man

On one of the loading screens from EB there is a (i think) pontic nobleman with a lamellar helmet, does someone have information on that one? beacause it looks like an easy dessign and a good starting point. If im succesfull i will post some pictures here, perhaps i post some pictures of my maille here is someone is interested.

thx
btw: great mod, i love it

yea, i hoped someone had some historical refence on witch thy based that unit, especially the helmet. Or some other examples of lamellar helmets.

i havent played mutch with eastern factions so there units are unfamilliar to me, so in game examples are also welkom
