I have always thought of you as one bad motherfucker, Mike. But then, you already knew this.

[mike_]

Yeah I didn't realize how "Internet tough guy" I looked until after the fact. Also the full picture will have to wait until tomorrow morning because reasons.

[Mathijs]

It probably has a lot to do with whatever it is hanging on your hip looking a lot like a gun tucked into your pants.

[Elvenlord]

Except it totally looks like a cell phone hip-case thing.

[Mathijs]

Maybe it does. I have never used one before so I wouldn't know.

[mike_]

It is, yeah. The cell phone in question is being used to take the picture.

I'm all kinds of jelly. I'm straight Smuckers. How much did all of that cost you?

We'll start from the top

Helmet: $120
Lorica Segmentata: $160
Tunic: $50
Baldric: $50
Belt: $200
Gladius: $140
Pugio: $90
Greaves: $45 (Got these handmade from an armourer. Pretty cool)

The sandals were like $50, but I want to replace them with a more accurate pair.

Not too bad for good quality stuff. Have you checked out Kult of Athena? They're the best arms and armor dealer on the market in my opinion.

I'm slowly getting my own kit together, but haven't taken a picture yet. So here's my arms and helmet in terrible image quality

Yes, actually. I think I'm going to end up getting my subarmalis there later this year.

[mike_]

You don't know how happy it makes me that you both know what that is and are playing to purchase your own.

[Elvenlord]

I aim to please

[Bashkuga]

Wow, the belt is actually the most expensive piece o_0.

[Elvenlord]

It's probably due to the sheer amount of brass on it.

Also, forgot to add in the baldric. Gonna do that now.

[mike_]

Where did you get your baldric, by the way? I need one; my computer case's strap isn't cutting it anymore

Bythesword probably has alot of the same stuff (most internet sites do, they generally bulk order from the same suppliers), might want to check prices around.

[Phil]

Holy crap, you're serious about that stuff! This is made of pure win.

[Elvenlord]

Why, thank you.

[Pasidon]

WOW, I loaded Bythesword, and all I saw was the phrase "leather belts and leather baldrics" with a black background with an obscure picture of a woman wearing 12 ounces of clothing loading slowly. I didn't want to think you sent me into a dominatrix site, but I may have for a moment.
