Bows and quivers, all the way! And if two new items are possible, have the kettle helm, but in the much cooler looking dark grey (bley).

No one wants the flail :shock:!??! That is, like, my favorite weapon! Come on! Oh well.... my vote is cast, and I still hold true to my favorite weapon :D.

Everything else (to me) was ok, except the lance, which I found... random... It was between the flail, and the "other option", to which I would have inserted the grill helm.

I would have to vote for for both helmets, spears, swords, quivers, and ovoid sheilds. Personally I don't really mind whether or not my archers carry crossbows or longbows, as long as they all wear the same uniforms and look like they can work as a cohesive unit. But I could certainly use some standard infantry that can can make a decent sheild wall.

Too bad, because I would love to see all of those on PaB. I voted for shields though, because I have a severe lack of them right now.

I voted sheilds. Although the triangular sheild is pictured, I think the other type of sheilds would be welcome as well. I almost voted for the pointed visor as I remember loving it when it first came out. The spear, lance, and flail are the least appealing to me. All others mentioned would be most welcome. I wouldn't mind seeing the "bullet helm" making a return either.

I voted a shot sword, so I could at least make some generic soldiers.

But in the end, I'd like gobbie parts! :D

Flared helm for me - about a 1,000 of them would be nice (in black).

Flared Helm.

If not that, then these in some new color (silver, light bley):

These would be useful in more applications than just castle.

I voted for flared helmets. I would prefer all weapons except for lances. I have enough lances.
I wouldn't mind round shields as second choice under other. :P
Only have a couple of these.

I voted for bow & quiver. They're always useful for a variety of different factions.

I agree with Stone Goblin about the old-style buckler, though. They would also be useful for different factions.

I voted flared helm because that would help me finish the armies I'm building right now the best. As for my rankings.

Shortsword: 8/10
Flail: 8/10
Lance: 1/10
Spear: 2/10
Bow & Quiver: 10/10
Shields: 10/10
Pointed Visor: 9/10
Kettle Helm: 10/10
Flared Helm: 10/10

P.S. I assume the helms would come in multiple colors. Correct? As in BLack, Dark Gray, New Metal Gray, and perhaps Light Gray.

P.P.S. What about this helmet?
