Shining/Polished/New vs Worn/Weathered/Used Armour
#6
As much as I appreciate the lived in, fouhgt in appearance.. and promote it as part of Legio IX's "persona" I know first hand the affect having clean armor and kit has on an opponent.

When we step out on the SCA battlefield on day two and day three we go out with cleaned kit.. dust wiped off of shields, re-oiling and cleaning metal, clean tunicas.... nearly everyone else is dusty and stained from one or two days of combat sccenarios. It is disheartening to an opponent.
