Thanks to YouTube channel Redanian Intelligence we finally got a first look at some armor and weapons coming to the Netflix series, but the stuff showcased in the video doesn't look quite right:

Nilfgaardian Armor #1

People aren't happy with the choices made and have voiced their concern in the comments:

This is terrible even for mordor...

It looks bad. REALLY bad. Looks like a costume from a dollar store.

 

Richest empire in the world...can only afford papier-mâché armor.

 

Orcs from lowcost movie from 80s?

 

Why the 90's series from Poland with almoust zero budget made better costumes?

 

It looks like plastic costume from everything for 2$ shop...

 

Netflix, leave The Witcher alone.

 

Too bad they didn't went for the armor models presented in games.
