so are guardsmares just a catch-all term for Equestria's various military branches, or are they just a single branch that specializes in defensive applications?

doesn't armoring the horn heavily interfere with spellcasting like a faraday cage or something? what positions could a unicorn have that would take such a drastic measure?

>>43052677
It's a resonant cavity. You may amplify most (but not all) spells with it if you know what you're doing. The caveat is that other unicorns will think you're showing off. Envious bitches.

It's not really that bad. Maybe I did a bad job drawing it properly due to my laziness. It was supposed to be something like on picrel, I added a bit of lighting so you could feel depth a little. Liked silly green.

are the pegasi able to bail out their sisters in arms?

>>43056823
Unicorns wouldn't need handles or grips od their weapons when they can just levitate them. This would keep nonmagical enemies from being able to use their weapons at all.

>>43058105
Unicorns aren't afraid of mud ponies or featherbrains taking their weapons because they always win. And the handles let them generate more torque on their strikes so instead of hitting like a chariot, they hit like a mountain.

#unicorns4eva

>>43058184
>>generate more torque
That's a bad argument because a handle is not relevant when you can magically hold the full length of the blade.

>>43058209
Can they though? There’s like two, maybe three unicorns who actually have powerful magic in the whole show, and Sweetie Belle had trouble picking up a broom when she was within a couple years of 10. A handle would still be useful for that purpose, especially with something like an axe.

The real question is how the hell would Earth ponies use such a thing?

>>43058231
Holding something is like the easiest thing a unicorn can do and none of the unicorns in the show outside of the one's at Celestia's school actually train with their magic so with raining I think they absolutely could.

>>43058275
Yes, but how much grip and leverage does one have before the magic implodes? The show was all over the place with this, and and this shit starts to resemble playground tier "my dad your dad" plus intra-pony violence is gay anyway. That pony with comically large helmet should waddle and fell onto and crush some griffin paws.

>>43058209
>when you can magically hold the full length of the blade
Won't work for other weapons like maces and halberds, you need the force multiplier.

>>43055974
>tfw no cute mare knight -wife/mare-at-arms to waddle around and protect me.
>>43056823
How much force do you think unicorns have behind their telekinesis? Even with rondel in your grip you need good structure to puncture the gambeson or chain mail in those gaps in armour. If most unicorns can levitate books with it, I'm not sure they have the force to push through.
>>43057354
DO NOT BULLY! Tails should be off-limits!
>>43058645
I wonder how two fully plated earth ponies would duel and wrestle with pollaxes. Stand on hind legs and go full ape mode or stay on 4wd mode and go from there?

>>43059347
>Even with rondel in your grip you need good structure to puncture the gambeson or chain mail in those gaps in armour
Even if their telekinesis is weak they can still go for visor slits and whatnot. A unicorn can probably take down 3 armored ponies by herself.

That is a good design but protection could be improved with chain over the padding of the hind legs just like the front and what I will call "ass plates" to cover the rear.

Armor isn't needed in the rear. If they're already behind you, you're screwed.

This is actually kinda comparable to many armours in late middle ages. Most knights wore assless armour because they needed to ride horses, and that ability was priced higher than butt protection. So I guess ponies would need to... Ride too or something?

>>43067571
The terrifying wild magic of ancient unicorn berserkers was fueled by self-inflicted humiliation. Power demands sacrifice, okay?
Or maybe what's going on is some ancient poorly worded pact with fairies.

I don't think berserkers, who just throw themselves into the fray, would use the finest Milaneighse plate which costs more than your regular earth pony plowmare makes in her whole life.
Also wouldn't mud pony or even pegasi berserkers make more sense since they're retarded and brutish, while your dainty little unicorn hides inside her finely engraved and etched literal piece of art?
I could swear there's unicorn version of this image but I can't find it anywhere.

>>43067571
There’s a joke there, but I wouldn’t want to make anyone mad.

What is not shown are the lighter flanking elements, or the scorpians being rolled into position. Heavy armor is a wonderful distraction.

Yes. They make your lazy eye work more so it wont drift away. But if I remember in that fic she wore eyepatch because she was shy of her derped eye.

And counter it with what? You need forces to actually do anything, and lacking consistant food sources tends to decrease population numbers. Unless you are pumping out scrawny children, but a nutrition lacking brain may not be as conducive to magic. Though for all we know, this may be the standard. Unicorns capable of more than a few mundane spells seem to be rare in equestria.

>And counter it with what?
They can either commit all their units to clean up the plate mud ponies in a few minutes and then time the flanking units' approach or split their units. Either way, they won't get caught with their pants (if they wore any) down.
>moving goalposts
Would still win a 1:10 disadvantage.
>Unicorns capable of more than a few mundane spells seem to be rare in equestria
On the field these are unicorns who are trained in combat magic. Big difference. Any regular earth pony wearing plate armor won't know how to use it effectively without training, they would get rekt by a baby unicorn.
