One of the armors of Sir James Scudamore, made in 1595 at Greenwich, London.
This configuration matches the usual kit for a cuirassier (heavy cavalrymen with guns) but a simple change would make it optimal for a lancer, can you tell which one?

Basta also warned light cavalry skirmishers harquebusiers to always avoid close combat, especially with the well armored cuirassiers.
Judging by this painting it looks like some didn't listen to him and paid the price.
Savoyard/death's head helmet
These heavy helmets were used by the famous cuirassiers, and their three-quarter armor weighed 30kg to 40kg! In the British Civil War, a Parliamentarians was hit twice in the helmet by an enemy pistol at 0 distance, and was only dizzy afterwards😵🤭😆
Kiara & her motorbike. This was inspired by Kiara's Do U Black ver & Saber's Cuirassier in Fate Zero.
Thank you @/Travag4r for taking this commission

16th/17th century heavily armored cuirassiers were such an intimidating looking military unit.
"We are cuirassiers! We look like knights but we also have pistols! Ha!"
Military life. Wounded cuirassier leaving the field of battle.

Phoenixene lance cavalry. They are known to use Gryphons to ride to battle.
When performing a cavalry charge, these cuirassiers would use their energy lances and for ranged attacks, they would use their handy pistol.
In a dark landscape, the wounded Cuirassier flees the battle, going down a slope with his horse. This is how French painter Théodore Géricault (born #OnThisDay 1791) represents the debacle of the Napoleonic armies against the coalition during the campaign in France in 1814.
@The_Broface @PandasAndVidya i drew something like that a long time ago, sort of fantasy/steampunk romans mixed with 18th century cuirassiers
