Beyond that... another "extension" with plated armor sounds like a fairly decent weapon as well... depending upon several other circumstances (plating, padding, fully covered vs. only top half like it looks like in that picture, etc.). Especially if they do have full control of the movement of the tail as has been discussed in this thread... possible tactical advantage in terms of offensive measures at the expense of balance and speed, perhaps?
I would think they would need to actually train to wear a tail covering like that. Â Like, build muscle in the tail itself, and train wearing it, because tails are usually incorporated to the creature's sense of balance. Â Adding weight to a tail would be something they'd have to get used to.
