Bascinet

Mechanics & Inner Workings

The Bascinet typically incorporates a conical visor, leading it to be known as a ‘pigs-snout’ helmet by many soldiers. This design provides additional protection against missile fire, as slingshots and arrows are deflected by the conical visor.

If missile fire strikes the wearer of a Bascinet, and originates from in front of the wearer, then the helmet provides 4 APs rather than 3.
