'''Armour''' is protective plates or [[clothing]] meant to shield a human from intentionally inflicted harm. Armour has been in use for all recorded history, beginning with [[hide]]s, [[leather]], [[bone]], progressing to [[bronze]], [[steel]], [[ballistic cloth]], and [[ceramic]]s. Armour has been primarily a way to protect oneself from harm in [[combat]] and military engagements.

Armour parts may be manufactured using a wide variety of materials and forms. During the [[Middle Ages]], [[cloth]], [[leather|soft leather]], [[Cuir Bouilli|boiled leather]], [[maille|chainmail]] and [[iron]] or [[steel]] [[plate armor|plate]]s were often used.

Armour might be covered or decorated in a number of ways, including:
* Applied- [[lateen]], [[brass]] or [[silver]]
* Engraving
* Etching
* [[Fabric]] coverings - [[silk]], [[damask]] and [[velvet|silk velvet]] for the rich and [[fustian]] for those who were not
* [[Paint]]ing -including slogans and heraldic designs
* Piercework - hearts, [[trefoil]]s etc
* Scuplted shapes or forms- eg 'slashed' armours.Other decorations are also mentioned such as gold or pearls being used.
'''NB''': It should be noted that these methods were used differently or not at all during different times in history, so research should be done before applying a covering to your armour.

In [[Europe]]an history, common armour types were the [[lorica segmentata]], the [[gambeson]], the [[maille]] [[hauberk]] and later the [[Plate Armor|full plate]] armour used by late [[medieval]] [[knight]]s. In [[feudal]] [[Japan]] and throughout Asia, laquered [[lamellar]] armours were popular.
