Or the lack thereof. 🙄 YouTube link Jill is a trained "stage combat … hobbyist."
She has a fine channel.
And she correctly guesses that the whole point of This Board is hormonal 14yo boys. As is the game she … analyzes. |

Her TV/movie/game armor reviews are hilarious. |
| Redcurrant | 20 Sep 2025 1:53 a.m. PST |
very good – she dismantles the pieces of armour quite effectively. |

Armor is also fashion. Consider Henry VIII's armor and codpiece. I think there may have been some embellishments |

A lot of the surviving pieces in great condition are probably for the more famous users of said armor, and probably have a higher degree of artistic flair and embellishments. The more mundane armor is probably more practical. That was my impression when I was viewing armor in museums |

Did Henry VIII actually fight in that armor, or just pose for a painting? |

Jill Bearup does good videos. Her sword fights from the movies are really good. Also love her Just Stab Me Now analysis of armour. |

I'll second her analysis of swordfights in movies. |

Jill Bearup is great. "14 year old boys of any age", I think. |
| emckinney | 22 Sep 2025 11:33 a.m. PST |
Louis XIV she takes that into account, including specific examples that correspond to the fantasy designs. |
| John the OFM | 22 Sep 2025 12:53 p.m. PST |
I think that Jill would rate 90% of the miniatures posted on this board as "Just stab me now!"

Analyes it all she wants, not going to change my views on the issue. |

So… So you're in favor of a "woman Warrior" wearing greaves, shoulder armor and high heels, with a bare midriff? 😄 |
| John the OFM | 22 Sep 2025 4:42 p.m. PST |
In the future, I think I'll simply reference Jill when I see a particularly silly mini. |
| John the OFM | 27 Sep 2025 12:16 p.m. PST |
Jill goes after Warhammer armor.
