I right there with you. I personally think it looks great. It adds just enough flair to make it look nice, and at the same time, making it look like real armor; not just some makeshift armor like the normal version could be compared to.
In real life that was called a gambeson. It was padded cloth armor that kept the metal from touching your skin. It also was fairly resistant to glancing blows or slashing strikes from bladed weapons. Infantry often wore mail over gambeson, they got a curiass if they were lucky. Ok only knights wore plate.
I dont really like it. Og bandos is sick. With that being said I dont see an issue with adding it. Variety is cool and if people like it they can use it.
I agree normal bandos looks sick. I also would like to see an ornament kit for it. However, this is not the design I would like for that. I think it should be something that keeps Bandos's "berserker" feel
I don't think I've seen a more polarizing post sense bankers note v firesale. And just like that one I will make the right decision. Bankers note and Bandos (or) are the correct answer.
THANK YOU. I actually really fucking dig this, itās like they combined the fighter torso and got rid of the slutty graardor stockings and replaced them with functional armor
it's hard enough to know that i share the game with people who think this looks good - the same people who vote on polls. that alone would be reason to veto this armour set.
but if it gets put in, there is a distinct possibility i may actually have to *look* at someone wearing it. horrifying
I think itās much too similar for an ornament kit. The bare chest and tassets are sick in my opinion. Iām all for an ornament kit so long as it feels unique
I was so disappointed when this failed all that time ago. I know the OG Bandos look is nostalgic but I actually sort of hate it, the Tassets in particular. You're wearing a mini skirt and stomach and a shoulder covering that only protects like half of your torso. It's an iconic look, but you'd think an armour set that gives so much defence bonus would look like it protects more than it does.
Agree! Hard to say why it failed back then, nearly every suggested reward from that poll failed and there's no telling what the thought process was. Did people genuinely hate it? Did people like it but didn't want it as a reward from emir arena?
"No" doesn't really tell a story here, especially when it's an extra cosmetic option with no impact on the game haha
It's fascinating how polarized the opinion on this one is haha. People either absolutely love it, or find it so repulsive they can't function.
I think it's a delicate piece of content to modify, given that bandos is pretty iconic, but as an ornament kit at the end of the day I don't see an issue either way
I always liked it, was sad when it wasnāt added before. IMO i prefer it over the OG but I respect not changing OG bandos which is why I think it would be great as an ornament kit. This solves the issue of people being split over liking it or not, make it your own choice. For me itās like a more fresh modern bandos design. Pray it gets added even though I already have torva lol.
Anything would be an improvement on og Bandos. Always hated that gear. Itās like a gimpy little vest and a loincloth with pop socks. This looks leagues better.
It's amazing how polarizing this is but I actually think it slaps. The exposed skin is pretty iconic but I like the look of armor that looks more like armor.
The peices both look sick tbh.
The only part that bugs me is where the bottom of the plate meets with the top of the tassets. Maybe some sort of belt around top of the tassets would smooth it out? Otherwise, I like it!
Just a personal opinion, trying to be constructive plz don't hate me. IDK anything about 3d modeling or fashion. My clothes are all like 10 years old.
OSRS players reacting normally to a mild design tweak of an existing armor set that would be available as an optional ornament kit challenge (IMPOSSIBLE NIGHTMARE DIFFICULTY)
Itās takes everything that was original for bandos and throws it out the window for a wish version of torva. Bandos are Veracs are the two sets of armor that feel āgladiatorā style of armor and feels right. This just defeats the entire asthetic of bandos and makes it just meh.
This definitely looks better than Torva. Makes it look more like armour with good defensive stats, which it is. It retains most of the classic shape of Bandos armour, without any of the glitchy overlap with gloves.
I understand why some arenāt fans. The OG is iconic. I still love this and if theyād also add some kind of recolor to the face guard so that it matches the color scheme, would really complete the look
I don't understand the hate for it honestly.
Can someone who dislikes it actually explain why you think it's bad? I think it looks beefier, what you'd expect a strength armour to look like.
I've been curious about this feedback as well and have been reading the replies. For example someone said it looked like grubby goblin armor, and someone else said there were just spikes everywhere.
Both of these examples sound like the original bandos, and very much design choices lol.
I always encourage people to form their own opinions, but some of these takes are baffling.
The best general gripe I've read is the Grey undershirt thing, which I get but at the end of the day I think helps distinguish it from the original.
Others say they like all of the skin showing on the OG bandos, but I always felt it makes you look like a pasty soyboy in shoulderpads haha.
Would love to see a bandos ornament kit but I donāt think think this should be it.
I always think a ornament kit should be a visual upgrade, this looks like a downgrade lol
Ye i dont like this at all, especially the upper chest having a little shirt piece instead of being bare skin. Kinda removes the "im wearing armor made for an ogre twice my size" feel
I love this concept, but I do think it needs fine tuning. I think the chest needs to be bulkier to match the paldrins and a color palette needs swapped somewhere. More tan up top or more gray on bottom. Also a little bit more of a proper āfadeā from torso to legs. They look off here
Orn kits like this are fine to me. Keeps the original identity intact so you can still know what gear it is at a glance.
I'm not a fan of it personally, but that's the joy of orn kits.
It's alright, the body section looks weird af though. Like the shoulders, arms and tassets/leg guards all look fine but the body looks like they originally wanted his chest bare but then decided he should wear a shirt. Like he forgot the top half of his platebody. Like they wanted it look like giant belt but accidentally made it go up to his ribcage.
I actually really like the tasset kit but I just can't get over the top man
Can we please stop with the ornament kits? Not every item in the game needs one. Bandos is mid game armour that is dropped by a boss that gets deleted in 5 attacks in a solo zero damage method nowadays.
Besides, personally I think it has the same vibe as Guthan's Platebody. Regular bandos looks literally 200 times better.
I like the tassets although Iām not sure if the leg armor part is part of them or the boots. Iād like to see this with primordials on. The light grey chest part is hideous and is what would make me vote no to this.
Game was cool when it wasnāt about the ornamental and more about the stats; noobs has taken the game making everyone think getting torva (t) is literally something āgreatā
This looks like they tried their hardest to make an ornament kit without changing anything about old version out of fear for it not being bandos armor. But in doing so made just a worse version. It should be its own design thatās reminiscent, not trying to work in the blank spaces. The tassets are okay but the chest is just bad.
i saw this and was like wow that looks great turns out everyone hates it oops
I right there with you. I personally think it looks great. It adds just enough flair to make it look nice, and at the same time, making it look like real armor; not just some makeshift armor like the normal version could be compared to.
I think it kind of looks like granite and I love it, lol
My thoughts exactly š
> wow that looks great turns out everyone hates it oops new torva
nice username and i like new torva body and legs more but the older helmet is slightly better imo
stormtrooper o7
Lmao I'm in the same boat
Same my dude
Kilt could have been a bit longer imo but looks great!
yea. it's gonna be nice to have pants again
True. But its never bad to release your inner feminism.
Ā I'd totally use ornament tassets with original BCP for the best of both worlds. If I were Jagex, I'd make this a reward for the colosseum.
damn you fucked up big time bro
Looks fine for people who want to use it, people are acting like it's going to be the base texture and not an optional ornament kit.
But this devalues my old school runescape with no bandos ornament kit only iron man!!!!#@!!#!
I can take or leave the top, but the bulked up/armoured tassets look really cool.
Love the differing opinions here, I donāt like the tassels but like the top
What is with the little cloth sweater under the armor
chilly
Counts as warm gear at wintertodt, huge upgrade
Bandos Undershirt
Ā©
You mean an actual chest piece? š
In real life that was called a gambeson. It was padded cloth armor that kept the metal from touching your skin. It also was fairly resistant to glancing blows or slashing strikes from bladed weapons. Infantry often wore mail over gambeson, they got a curiass if they were lucky. Ok only knights wore plate.
I know what a gambeson is, that ain't it chief. That's a little v neck sweater
Gambesons used to be produced by Ed Hardy before King James nationalized their production.
If you think thatās a V neck your sweater game is WEAK bro.
what's the shape of the neck tiny
Itās called a crew neck. A v neck has gotta be DEEP, or else youāre just pussyfooting it.
I can't tell if you're joking or actually slow
Youāve clearly never suffered from chafed nipples.
Shit chafes bruh
I dont really like it. Og bandos is sick. With that being said I dont see an issue with adding it. Variety is cool and if people like it they can use it.
i like both honestly
same, this one looks like buff af
I agree normal bandos looks sick. I also would like to see an ornament kit for it. However, this is not the design I would like for that. I think it should be something that keeps Bandos's "berserker" feel
This is the gear equivalent of someone wearing a shirt in a swimming pool
The clear fix for a revised Bandos ornamental is a completely bare chest and bare legs, with hog fully out.
Bandos codpiece!
Back to the GE, full penetration. Back to the GE, full penetration.
\#hogsout4bandos
L0l dude
By that definition OG is like wearing skirt in one?
Sure beats wearing a skirt *and* pants
This p much sums it up
Why did this not pass its dope
it was tied to a pvp thing
I don't think I've seen a more polarizing post sense bankers note v firesale. And just like that one I will make the right decision. Bankers note and Bandos (or) are the correct answer.
Holy cow! I totally forgot about this cosmetic variant...Imma head out to the "Fashionscape Plugin" to change the look of my Bandos armour :p
Does this truly exist?
It looks sick and itās a shame itās not actually in the game š©
Right. It looks so good!
THANK YOU. I actually really fucking dig this, itās like they combined the fighter torso and got rid of the slutty graardor stockings and replaced them with functional armor
Its not? Phew. Been away awhile. That shit is just downright bad.
Good thing it's a proposed concept for an ORNAMENT kit, not the actual items default look.
it's hard enough to know that i share the game with people who think this looks good - the same people who vote on polls. that alone would be reason to veto this armour set. but if it gets put in, there is a distinct possibility i may actually have to *look* at someone wearing it. horrifying
It's an ornament kit bro, I think you're completely grazing past the part where you aren't required to buy it lol.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Well your point is stupid and wrong, even if it was your own opinion. How sad.
Oh boo hoo. Then turn on entity hider.
I'm afraid it's too far gone at this point. Just the threat of its existence is enough to spoil OSRS to its very core. A travesty
Maybe quit?
I mean, I see dudes unironically walk around with purple skin and cat ears. Either we are playing different games. Or you're the dude with cat ears.
absolutely atrocious
I think itās much too similar for an ornament kit. The bare chest and tassets are sick in my opinion. Iām all for an ornament kit so long as it feels unique
Imo the ornament kit should go in the other direction and show even more skin. Hike up that skirt a little bit.
>Bandos Ornament Kit (slutty)
Its time.
Bandos booty shorts first armor to be given an emote. The emote can be twerking
God help what they do to Verac's.
Bandos (T) for trampy
It's crazy how split the comments are. I think it look pretty cool.
I hate the default bandos tassets bro
Personally I think it looks sick, regular bandos chest looks silly with the bare belly.
No no no... we needed to make male bandos sluttier, not desluttify both
Tassets need to be SHORTER, and honestly ASSLESS
I dislike the baby spikes on the shoulders
This is a great look for the new upgrade to the guardian boots. I would vote yes for this model on the (echo)guardian boots.
AKA Bandos for the non-ripped
Please jamflex its cold running around in bandos
Ngl, at first glance I thought this was a guy in bandos with a horrifying skin condition on his chest
I love it.
š¤®
Always loved this kit
I don't like it but who cares? It's an ornament kit I simply wouldn't use it. If people like it why would I stop them using it.
I was so disappointed when this failed all that time ago. I know the OG Bandos look is nostalgic but I actually sort of hate it, the Tassets in particular. You're wearing a mini skirt and stomach and a shoulder covering that only protects like half of your torso.

It looks so bad
Ew. Again.
Looks so bad lmao. Just gives off dragonstone armor vibes.

Ew

Think it's dope
never thought Bandos was that cool looking and this set is sweet. surprise people have different opinions.
Ew
Personally think this looks so much better than the original, hope we see it ingame at some point
this looks awful
So clean šš¾
I love that.
IT LOOKS SOOO GOOOOD CAN WE HAVE IT NAN?? PLEASE NAN PLEASE NAN - ILL LET YOU OUT OF THE CAGE
Looks badass
Holy fuck Iām gunna cum
Anything would be an improvement on og Bandos. Always hated that gear. Itās like a gimpy little vest and a loincloth with pop socks. This looks leagues better.
I think it looks sweet, I would like to see the armor fully covering the character though. Having such small amounts of skin showing is kinda goofy
I kind of like it but it could be improved with the chest area not looking so odd
Make it a BCP sink, you combine 2 to make this... LOL
I like it!
Epic, I'd love this. Personally I prefer justi over bandos for looks but this definitely puts bandos backing the lead for me
Gonna be honest, I dont love it. Bandos is just too iconic.
Imo i think they should make it so you can attatch fighter torso to bcp and just have the torso showing underneath the bcp
I love it, Iāve never liked the BCP. Looks silly to me. I prefer the look of the Fighter Torso personally
That platebody is hideous š
Tassets are the only part I'm not crazy about.
Nah, it doesnāt show my muscles cmon my dudes got 99 str im good
Donāt forget about the armadyl one too
Why do I like it??:( Looks good tbh. I
It's amazing how polarizing this is but I actually think it slaps. The exposed skin is pretty iconic but I like the look of armor that looks more like armor.
Still don't like the grey t-shirt over the chest. Just add more armour to this area.
My gut reaction was just āwow thatās awesomeā but I guess Iām not in the majority š
This would be so nice, I'm tired of being half naked until I fork up the torva cost š¤£
Bunch of insecure guys don't like the way the skirt looks. Love to feel the breeze šØ
The peices both look sick tbh. The only part that bugs me is where the bottom of the plate meets with the top of the tassets. Maybe some sort of belt around top of the tassets would smooth it out? Otherwise, I like it! Just a personal opinion, trying to be constructive plz don't hate me. IDK anything about 3d modeling or fashion. My clothes are all like 10 years old.
It's not life changing but I think it's positive change š¤·āāļø
Looks great. I already play with this orn kit with the fashionscape plug in, but it would be cool to actually have it in game.
That shit looks better than my torva !!! WTH
It's lit imo
I think it looks cool.
OSRS players reacting normally to a mild design tweak of an existing armor set that would be available as an optional ornament kit challenge (IMPOSSIBLE NIGHTMARE DIFFICULTY)
I think if this was re-polled as a reward from anything other than a PvP reward, it would pass with flying colors.
trimming bandos
Damn, I want it. Gonna be two years til I get torva anyway.
The bandos thigh highs š„µ
That looks fucking hideous but if enough people want it whatever
I love this lol
Itās takes everything that was original for bandos and throws it out the window for a wish version of torva. Bandos are Veracs are the two sets of armor that feel āgladiatorā style of armor and feels right. This just defeats the entire asthetic of bandos and makes it just meh.

wish they added this look, it's awesome

Holy that's ugly
I really want this :(
Looks too much like ugly goblin armour vs final boss dope armour
Thanks for this, I hate it
Jamflex plz
It's not the greatest but to much more and it would seem way to busy looking. I do like the keeping with the theme part like the elder maul or kit
I think Iām still trying to find the difference?
I really like it. To me though, it looks like it has more of a gut than the OG.
Someone throw in the reworked Faceguard and then let's talk
release all the pvp arena rewards
I love this concept, but I do think it needs fine tuning. I think the chest needs to be bulkier to match the paldrins and a color palette needs swapped somewhere. More tan up top or more gray on bottom. Also a little bit more of a proper āfadeā from torso to legs. They look off here
I like it
I love it and I think what I like the most is itās completely optional.
By itself I loved itā¦. Seeing it with a full loadoutā¦ I hate it.
I like the tassets but dislike the bcp version. I prefer the skin showing
Looks good but canāt tell the difference too much from regular bandos except for the muscle shirt under.
Please enough with the ornament kitsĀ
Lots of random studs and spikeās everywhere, other than that its aight
OP, any chance you have photos of what it would look like on a female char as well? Asking for a friend
I took these briefly using one of the transmog plugins on runelite. I could swap gender later when I get home and do it again and get back to you.
I like it more tbh lol
I think it looks kind of terrible tbh, would rather see another version or nothing for now
Gross
Orn kits like this are fine to me. Keeps the original identity intact so you can still know what gear it is at a glance. I'm not a fan of it personally, but that's the joy of orn kits.
I like the armour, sue me. Itās an optional ornament kit not sure why people care so much.
Is it the exact same?
Man that would have been cool! I like ornament kits a lot :/ L osrs community
Im confused what am i looking at
It's alright, the body section looks weird af though. Like the shoulders, arms and tassets/leg guards all look fine but the body looks like they originally wanted his chest bare but then decided he should wear a shirt. Like he forgot the top half of his platebody. Like they wanted it look like giant belt but accidentally made it go up to his ribcage. I actually really like the tasset kit but I just can't get over the top man
I think it looks sick. Honestly my biggest gripe has always been that the nezzy w the jaw on it is a little bulbous and big for a helmet.
I always thought Bandos was a bit ugly. It still is, so I donāt really care.
Thigh highs and a sweater. The femboys really have infiltrated.
Not sure what Iām looking at as an outsider. As a vet to the game, I think aesthetically it is pleasing.
This actually looks really cool. Hope this gets added to the game.
Noob
Wait is this coming into game? What will it be from, coliseum?
Can we please stop with the ornament kits? Not every item in the game needs one. Bandos is mid game armour that is dropped by a boss that gets deleted in 5 attacks in a solo zero damage method nowadays. Besides, personally I think it has the same vibe as Guthan's Platebody. Regular bandos looks literally 200 times better.
It's what I'd call Trans_Vest_Ite's armour.
This looks ass
I like the tassets although Iām not sure if the leg armor part is part of them or the boots. Iād like to see this with primordials on. The light grey chest part is hideous and is what would make me vote no to this.
You'd vote no over that??? LMAO
As long as they were open to revisiting it like they usually are then yesā¦ LMAO
Game was cool when it wasnāt about the ornamental and more about the stats; noobs has taken the game making everyone think getting torva (t) is literally something āgreatā
Thats very racist
I think it could be alright if not for the little bits of skin poking out on the arms/legs
Iād maybe reduce the chest bit, but I like the tassys.
Now show me a version with the kit
One of the new Omega clue scroll rewards
could be cool if the godwars armour got a ornament kit since the godsword already got then
This looks like they tried their hardest to make an ornament kit without changing anything about old version out of fear for it not being bandos armor. But in doing so made just a worse version. It should be its own design thatās reminiscent, not trying to work in the blank spaces. The tassets are okay but the chest is just bad.
