I just love seeing ponies in armor. I have no idea why, maybe it's because I like to see the ridiculous juxtaposition of something cute and nominally innocent donning the soon-to-be-blood-soaked articles of war, where innocence doesn't exist and the horrible, ugly terror of existence has its veils stripped away and the mind is forced to confront it directly. There lies a test of character the likes of which cannot exist anywhere else, and one finds out whether they are made of steel, or pig iron.Anyway, very interesting armor design. I kinda hope we'll see more of this idea in the future.
