Terrement: right after battle, they're doing the Rio carnival. But seriously, some cultures warriors have indeed worn what seems to modern eyes like very cumbersome and awkward headgear and accoutrements. Mexica (Aztec) elites often went into battle with back-banners and feathered animal headdresses. And to be honest, hoplites crests can't have been comfortable – but probably scared the hell out of non-greek opponents! |

The 'awkward and uncomfortable headgear' is part of the quasi-Mesoamerican look; goes with the lack of metal weapons. The same is true for the girls of the Axibalan Empire (ex Dragonblood / Calvalcade Wargames, now part of the Antimatter Games Shadowsea range)
Photo blocked by adult filter: "picture" How are the two ranges compatible, btw? They would make great Amazons for Mayapan by the time of Conan or for a 'Lost World' (possibly 'at the Earth's core')- Atlantis?- / Mysterious Island in any period from Antiquity to the early Pulp era. They are also reminiscent of Tékumel, and indeed with an orange or blue skin could make some kind of Martians or Venusians. |

Useful for fantasy settings like Tékumel, Barsoom, or Carcosa. |
