Its about time somone else picked spikey! Of all those things spikey armour is the hardest to make and there isnt a torso for it.
Too bad nobody picked studded. If done properly it could be very useful.

You didn't put chicken costume on the list! That aside, what we really need are more helmets. Not KK style helmets, mind you, but realistic helmets. Or maybe just more of the helmets tlc already released, maybe different colors(NOT rainbow, I'm thinking more black.)

Personally, I would rather see euro armor and ninja armor in more colors available rather than a new armor piece. Euro armor in black (without printing), new dark gray and light grey would be cool, maybe even in bronze (like Jayko's sword) and chrome. Ninja in new dark and light gray, plus the return of black, would be uber-sweet.

Actually, there isn't. Ninja armor only comes in old dark gray and black, black being uber-rare because it only came in one set:

http://guide.lugnet.com/set/3344

Euro armor comes in old dark and light grey, plus green, red, light blue, violet and black with various printing. Alien armor, also known as Ogel armor, comes in black and old dark gray, and Spaniard armor only comes in chrome. Old 'Classic' square armor comes in yellow, gray, orange, white and dark blue. New hockey 'armor' comes in black and white.

There, I think that covers everything! :wink:

I would like to see something like the Euro armor, but with bigger shoulder pads like the Samurai armor. Helmets would be nice, especially the flared ones in dark bley, and the pointed visor in green. Yes, green. I would like to make a green knight but I don't like how you can't put a plume in the new visors. That being said, a dark green plume would be nice, but I'm getting off topic...

I think Roman armor (and arms) would be cool. I've wanted to some Roman type MOC for a while so that help me a lot. Currently there are torso and leg patterns that would work for Legions but no helmets.

A historical note, most people think of lorica segentata (the segmented armor that Dragon Master posted a photo of) as "Roman armor." In truth the Roman used more lorica hamata (chain mail) and lorica squamata (scale mail).

Strange....I thought more people would have wanted armour with spikes, because they are hard to customize and have alot of different uses but o well....

I'd have to say Spikey armor, just because it would be different, and I think it would be interesting. Obviously it would be good for bad guys, and I don't think I would use it for my good guys, but it could be interesting.

I chose 'none of the above' because I'd rather see a better color selection of the armor pieces that we already have, and by that I mean that i want to see Euro armor in black and chrome, as well as the new greys. Besides, none of my favorite figs wear armor anyway...
