Editing Helmet (section)

===Middle Ages & Renaissance===
*'''Spangenhelm''': A dark age (5th to 9th century) helmet made of bits of iron forged riveted onto a frame. An easier form to forge than an iron bowl for unskilled smiths. Sometimes had a nasal or cheek guards attached. The Sassanian version draped chainmail from the helm down to the chest, leaving only slits for the eyes. Viking helmets were a type of spanghelm that featured an eye guard. They didn't have horns, though.
*'''Nasal helm''': Basically a Spangenhelm, but made from one solid piece of metal, and it always had a nasal guard. This was the iconic helmet of the Normans and early Crusaders.
*'''Cervelliere''': A dark age/medieval helmet composed of a single steel dome. Became more common as armorers got better at their trade. It might come with a nasal guard.
*'''Kettle Hat''': A steel dome with a wide brim around it, sometimes with a nasal. A common helmet for common soldiers in the late middle ages as it offered a good deal of protection against arrows and other projectiles while allowing good visibility. While not ideal for a ground battle since the entire head below the scalp was exposed, it was excellent in sieges when most attacks were coming from above.
*'''Maille Coif''': To better protect people's heads, they often wore hoods made of [[mail|chainmail]]. Often, though not always in conjunction with a more conventional helmet, or else the mail attached to the bottom of the helmet to act as a faceguard called an aventail. This practice was common across Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
*'''Enclosed Helm''': Predecessor to the great helm, the enclosed helm was basically a metal hat with a faceguard attached to the front. The great helm added neck protection and made the helmet into one solid piece.
*'''Great helm''': A steel bucket with eyeholes wore by [[knight]]s. They came in two varieties: Flat-topped, and conical. The flat-topped versions came first, but it was discovered that making the top conical helped to glance sword-strikes away from the head. Why it was not conical from the beginning is a mystery, as the nasal helm was conical so they should have been aware of its advantages. Still, despite being introduced after most of the crusades (and all of the successful ones) had been fought, it became one of the most recognizable symbols of the crusades.
*'''Barbute''' Corinthian 2, Electric Boogaloo! Basically a Corinthian Helmet made of steel minus the crest. Additionally, due to visors already being commonplace when it was used, it was likely to have a visor on it unlike the Corinthian.
*'''Sallet''': A type of steel helmet from the late middle ages. It's main component covered cheeks and had a lock neckguard in the back. To protect the face it would have a face guard bolted on, which could be raised or lowered. One good thing about the visor was that it only covered the upper half of the face, meaning that it could be removed and that the face would still be protected by the falling buffe that protected the lower half of the face. Can occasionally be seen on [[The Empire (Warhammer Fantasy)| Empire Greatswords]] when they aren't sticking with the floppy [[hat]]s.
*'''Bascinet''': A conical helmet with the point facing towards the back of the head. Oftentimes combined with a detachable face guard that was likewise conical, commonly called the "pig's snout." However, the bascinet could be worn without the face guard.
*'''Armet''': Another type of full head helmet worn in the late middle ages. It came with three parts, a main component covering the back, a visor and a chinplate. Thus allowing full head protection while being much easier to move about than a clumsy great helm. You might recall the basic look of this helmet from the [[Grey Knights]].
*'''Cabasset''': A halfway point between the Kettle hat and the Morion, the Cabasset offered the protection of a rim with the glancing surface of a conical top.
*'''Morion''': A type of helmet similar to a Kettle hat, but with a top part which came to a ridge and dipped down on the sides to cover the ears. Often morions would have cheek guards. Most commonly associated with Conquistadors. 
*'''Frog-Mouth''': As the name implies, these-oddly shaped helmets look like a frog's mouth. These helmets were basically made for one purpose, that being jousting. That's because they would be impractical for combat, as the helmet had very little visibility and a complete lack of neck articulation, its sole purpose was to protect the head from lances.
*'''Lobster Pot''': Also called the zischägge, it's a helmet from the Renaissance period and age of enlightenment composed of a steel dome with a visor, cheek guards and a back guard made of overlapping steel plates riveted together (looking like a lobster tail). They usually came with a nasal or a faceguard of some sort. These helmets were used by both cavalry and infantry, and are most commonly associated with the Winged Hussars and the New Model Army.
*'''Burgonet''': Another Renaissance cavalry helmet, the Burgonet features a comb and cheek guards like the Morion, with an optional faceguard as well. The Burgonet was basically the standard European cavalry helmet from the Thirty Years War up through the Napoleonic Wars. The French Cuirassier helmets used up until WW1 were essentially just cheekless Burgonets.
*'''Kabuto''': Japanese [[Samurai]] helmets, have a dome part as well as a back made of laminar protecting the neck and cheeks. For facial protection they had a mempo, a stylized mask.
*'''Jingasa''': Japanese Ashigaru Helmet, these were usually cone shaped (though latter ones bore a resemblance to Morions and kettle hats) and made of steel or lacquered wood.
