You posted this exact same question one year ago, with a lot of discussion Marshall Send a noteboard - 10/02/2012 06:29:28 PM
But I'll recap the general jist of what was said:

-Cuendillar is presumably completely inflexible, therefore we'd need to make it similar to chain-mail, i.e. links, to make small pieces that are flexible with respect to each other.

-This appears difficult, because the individual cuendillar pieces could not be touching when merged together (although I'm sure they could simply interleave flows of Air and it wouldn't be all that hard).

-The armor might not provide that much protection to hard hits, but it would definitely help protect against punctures.

You busted him! I wonder why he would post it again... *NM* - 10/02/2012 07:25:47 PM 655 Views
I suppose I am on a... - 10/02/2012 11:00:47 PM 1200 Views
No, you go back and re-read what everyone said. - 11/02/2012 11:02:47 PM 1269 Views
We're actually losing them by the troves. My apologies. *NM* - 12/02/2012 02:52:01 AM 632 Views
I rest my case. - 10/05/2012 04:34:02 PM 1168 Views

Agreed. - 11/02/2012 06:24:36 PM 1126 Views
why not some plate armor. duh. *NM* - 12/02/2012 09:54:43 PM 686 Views
See? - 10/05/2012 04:35:25 PM 1146 Views
Possible, but hard. - 11/02/2012 01:56:03 AM 1295 Views
scale or plate armor would be quite easy *NM* - 11/02/2012 01:38:47 PM 575 Views
My thought was always about weapons. - 11/02/2012 06:31:45 AM 1395 Views

Should be perfectly feasible - 11/02/2012 12:28:47 PM 1173 Views
Exactly - 11/02/2012 01:53:24 PM 1187 Views
Certainly possible, but given the effort most women have to put toward changing even a small item - 12/02/2012 05:10:35 AM 1261 Views
Ummm, Warders... - 14/02/2012 01:39:23 PM 1125 Views
How would Cuendillar armour help against channelers? - 14/02/2012 07:58:58 PM 1177 Views
It can not be directly effected by the OP - 14/02/2012 09:08:57 PM 1068 Views
some simple ideas for defeating warders armoured such. - 14/02/2012 09:52:41 PM 1239 Views

which way is it? - 15/02/2012 04:14:41 AM 1049 Views
Actually I'd call the Seanchan tactically inferior to the White Tower in using the power - 15/02/2012 01:48:55 PM 1182 Views
That's really not my point. - 15/02/2012 03:21:15 PM 1066 Views
My point is - 15/02/2012 03:52:43 PM 1029 Views
Agree on all points *NM* - 15/02/2012 07:06:09 PM 715 Views
I never said that they could not be stopped - 15/02/2012 01:58:41 PM 1147 Views
I really think you're over-estimating how difficult it would be. - 15/02/2012 03:22:44 PM 1128 Views
Not nesecarrily - 15/02/2012 04:01:45 PM 1095 Views
You just said that most of their tactics are indirect. - 15/02/2012 05:44:22 PM 1200 Views
..and you are creating new tactics - 15/02/2012 06:32:02 PM 1077 Views
*shrug* I don't see it as some world-shaking action - 15/02/2012 08:47:40 PM 1043 Views
Not accurate - 15/02/2012 03:54:00 PM 1177 Views
You are thinking too far inside the box - 15/02/2012 04:23:28 PM 1169 Views
I disagree - 15/02/2012 04:43:33 PM 1099 Views
If armor is of no benefit... - 15/02/2012 06:19:30 PM 1048 Views
Missing my point ... Cuendillar armor is impractical not useless - 15/02/2012 07:00:48 PM 1214 Views
nope - 15/02/2012 07:21:03 PM 1046 Views
*Shrug* - 15/02/2012 08:28:48 PM 1226 Views
Re: *Shrug* - 15/02/2012 09:07:24 PM 1368 Views
No way they could pull off what you are talking about with current tech - 16/02/2012 01:55:19 AM 1171 Views

I'll happily amend my initial statement to "maybe even challeling ones" - 15/02/2012 07:03:48 PM 1059 Views
Fair enough. - 16/02/2012 02:08:19 AM 1067 Views
what a lot of people are forgetting with their suggestions of plate armor... - 13/02/2012 02:36:50 PM 1229 Views
Your understanding of how plate armor functions is in error - 14/02/2012 01:45:37 PM 1092 Views
I believe AND I was hoping you would go into the physics of it :p - 14/02/2012 11:01:18 PM 1067 Views
here ya go, I still skipped almost all of the math though. - 15/02/2012 03:00:09 PM 1196 Views
Two things: *NM* - 16/02/2012 04:03:52 PM 650 Views
