I have a lot of models floating around the BRFs on standby, just in case I want to use them for something. Not using a model doesn't mean all of that model style is not usable, because that would be very stupid.
The helmet posted (plumed armet from the BRFs) does not look good enough to be a legendary, and the texture quality on this helmet is really awful. Items that come from the same item pack share this issue (Closed Face Helmet, Heraldic Plate, old Visored Salet, etc.) If I were to use this style of helmet, I would not use this model for players. It's simply too old.
Besides that, I like the style of the helmet, and right now, that style of helmet (beaked / pointed armets, or other kinds of armets) is something I'm leaning towards. Armets would fit the Churburg style armour very well, and still somewhat match Gothic plate. The reference pictures posted so far show that this style of helmet would definitely look 'royal'. If we could get some more reference pictures of armets, that'd be great -- I like to have a surplus of them when I model something I am unfamiliar with.
Plumes are something that can really be added after the helmet itself has been made, so I'm indifferent on it. It'd be annoying to shoot / slash over, so putting it on a class where you primarily shoot / slash over is a problem.
The plumed armet would be interesting for wave 14 Zweis, thanks Kriegstofu. I'll look into testing that. It would certainly make them look more 'mercenary'.
I really appreciate the amount of discussion so far. I'll start with making a basic armet model, as was suggested here. I'll post periodic updates and show screenshots so that the helmet model is fine tuned by the time I want to texture it, and if we don't like the model, we'll go back to square one with a new model and a new decision. Stay tuned.
