Tobias Capwell is an independent scholar, curator, an expert on arms and armor, as well as a historical advisor for movies and TV. In this video he reacts to the warriors of Warhammer Fantasy and Warhammer: 40,000.
Toby Capwell breaks down armor and weapons such as the Ultramarine’s armor from Space Marine 2, the Medival and Rennisance units from Total War: Warhammer 3, as well as the Skaven armor from Vermintide 2’s Stormvermin.
Would knights wield automatic weapons like the Boltgun? Would ancient Romans want a chainsword? Do the Adepta Sororitas’ have Medival France inspirations?
