You are thinking too far inside the box HyogaRott Send a noteboard - 15/02/2012 04:23:28 PM
we witnessed couldn't even make a small cup turn in an hour.

it is my recolection/impression that they were converting goblets, and those can be quite sizable. Especially when you are talking something that started life as cast iron, and it is the volume of the material that is important.

Considering most Warders we've seen don't seem to even wear armor ... They seem to prefer mobility over the protection

You are correct, warders do prefer mobility over carying 200 pounds of armor around, but C armor wouldn't be 200lbs. One of the 2 key advantages of C as a armor material is that it is inherantly unbreakable. paper thin C has the same protective value as C 50 feet thick. Because of this fantastical feature, C armor would/should be incredibly light, Lighter even than the leather that most warders wear now because you do not need thickness for either protection of structural strength.

Why would an Aes Sedai even consider undertaking such a process?

Postponing the agonizing crippling sorrow and longing (from the severed bond) for a dead warder comes to mind.

I'm not saying it would be useless, but there clearly isn't need for such armor as it would only really be effective under certain circumstances.

Circumstances like any time blades are bared, situation warders tend to end up in fairly regularly, or better yet a once in an Age huge battle between good and evil... think we might see one of those?

And really how much more effective would cuendillar armor be compared to steel?

See below, it would be incredibly effective. Same mobility, massive increase in protection. It would be like going into battle bearing live steel, while all your opponents were using lathe practice wands.

Agreed. Narg - 11/02/2012 06:24:36 PM 744 Views
why not some plate armor. duh. *NM* Japhy - 12/02/2012 09:54:43 PM 457 Views

Should be perfectly feasible TheUltimateReality - 11/02/2012 12:28:47 PM 757 Views
Exactly HyogaRott - 11/02/2012 01:53:24 PM 805 Views
Certainly possible, but given the effort most women have to put toward changing even a small item darius_sedai - 12/02/2012 05:10:35 AM 845 Views
Ummm, Warders... HyogaRott - 14/02/2012 01:39:23 PM 687 Views

which way is it? LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 04:14:41 AM 656 Views
Actually I'd call the Seanchan tactically inferior to the White Tower in using the power HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 01:48:55 PM 772 Views
That's really not my point. LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 03:21:15 PM 646 Views
My point is HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 03:52:43 PM 639 Views
Agree on all points *NM* Nargs - 15/02/2012 07:06:09 PM 532 Views
I never said that they could not be stopped HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 01:58:41 PM 746 Views
I really think you're over-estimating how difficult it would be. LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 03:22:44 PM 685 Views
Not nesecarrily HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 04:01:45 PM 700 Views
You just said that most of their tactics are indirect. LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 05:44:22 PM 801 Views
..and you are creating new tactics HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 06:32:02 PM 641 Views
*shrug* I don't see it as some world-shaking action LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 08:47:40 PM 659 Views
But it is brand new, and if you're digging holes earth-shaking seems discriptive HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 09:14:12 PM 690 Views

If armor is of no benefit... HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 06:19:30 PM 604 Views
Missing my point ... Cuendillar armor is impractical not useless darius_sedai - 15/02/2012 07:00:48 PM 736 Views

I'll happily amend my initial statement to "maybe even challeling ones" HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 07:03:48 PM 657 Views
Fair enough. Fanatic-Templar - 16/02/2012 02:08:19 AM 651 Views
what a lot of people are forgetting with their suggestions of plate armor... LadyLorraine - 13/02/2012 02:36:50 PM 819 Views
Your understanding of how plate armor functions is in error HyogaRott - 14/02/2012 01:45:37 PM 644 Views
I believe AND I was hoping you would go into the physics of it :p Nargs - 14/02/2012 11:01:18 PM 631 Views
here ya go, I still skipped almost all of the math though. HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 03:00:09 PM 696 Views
