STORM CLOUDS, FIRE AND STEEL
DEATH FROM ABOVE, MADE THEIR ENEMY KNEEL
SHINING ARMOR AND WINGS
DEATH FROM ABOVE, IT’S AN ARMY OF KINGS!
pretty sure I’ve had my ass handed to me by this dude in dark souls or elden
Some of the mausoleum knights in elden ring for sure have wing armor like this. Cant say about the helms though as they are headless
It’s always so fascinating seeing new historical inspiration turn up for these games! It’s truly cracked.

Was it my comment on your last Post that made you post this?

Reminds me of an episode of Murdoch Mysteries, Game of Kings.

Those wings remind me of the eldar swooping hawks from 40k
