I'm writing a story about the Griffin kingdom declaring war on Equestriea and I am giving it a sort of steampunk/dieselpunk setting (at least in terms of military technology) and am in need of ideas for how the Equestrieas royal guard (which I assume serves as the military during wartime) would look. I highly doubt they would use the gold armor we see in the show as that would be ineffective as armor and make them to much of a target so my idea is that the golden armor is ceremonial and they have a different armor for combat. But I need help comeing up with a concept of what that would look like. If you could help me out that would be great and if the work is yours ill credit you in the authors notes and description thank you.
