Armor sellers I recommend
These are businesses that I have had good experiences with.
Ebay seller pitbull_armory
This guy did my arms in 18 gauge mild steel. My bracers were $35 and my upper arms were $25 so that was an inexpensive 6 points of armor (3/location for 18 gauge steel). You might consider stainless which will be more expensive, but pitbull told me that if you keep the armor covered with WD-40 or paint it with clear paint it won't rust. Anyway, the price was good, and the armor looks good. It took about 4 weeks but give him plenty of time.
Ebay seller armourereric
This armourer did my legs in 18 gauge stainless steel. My greaves were $50 or 60 and my cuisses were $90 or 95. The cuisses were customized with top straps that loop up to a belt or belt loops so that you can wear them without knee armor (for which NERO doesn't give you armor points). Without the knees or the extra straps, the cuisses would slide down your leg. My cuisses were especially cool hinged 3/4 cuisses that wrap around my leg. This was just for costuming as it adds extra weight and expense but not extra armor points. The greaves I padded, but still find I need to put them low on the leg (resting on the boot or shoe) because they slide down there anyway, even with the double straps made tight. Anyway, good armor, good price, great communication, highly recommended.
