Marauder Arm Guards

ARMED PROTECTION!

“Listen up! You all know that this regiment is the toughest of them all. But this battle is different. I have seen seasoned soldiers being blown to bits by a single backhand slash from these ruinous bastards. Whatever you do, make sure to avoid their cursed spikes! Is that clear!?”

The Marauder Armguards provide unyielding, ruinous protection and is made from mild steel in Epic Dark and Epic Grey colours to emphasise a sinister and unholy origin. They are designed with star-shaped place-holder screws that are replaceable with mountable accessories such as the Mountable Demon Horns and minor grips, making it possible to attach heinous additions such as an Dwarf Shrunken Head or an Orc Trophy Ear.

As the Deathknight strode forward, he was met by a human warrior that towered over it at the crest of the hill, grim determination on its face.

"I am Bosrick, Champion of the Footmen of this city!" He bellowed as he smacked his mace against his shield.

"You are about to be worm food." the Deathknight grunted, the boredom writ upon his face.

SAVAGE SAFEGUARD

Taking inspiration from the semi-curved kite shaped shields used by the Normans of the early Middle Ages, the Maurauder Kite Shield works just as well for a goblin invader or a brutal orc from a high fantasy realm as it would for a battleworn European knight from the ninth century or a pillaging Viking.

Crafted from durable closed cell foam and coated with latex, this shield is more than ready for LARP battle. Sculpted and hand-painted with realistic details like scratches and notches, this shield features a dark matte metallic finish and metallic trim with rivets. A stylized cross appears at the center. Maintain your hold on this savage shield with the tri-position grip and adjustable buckle straps found on the inner side.

Designed to be the maximum allowable size under the Swordcraft rules set, this shield has the Epic Armoury tri-position grip to allow you to hold it no matter what style of shield bearer you need to be.

HISTORY

• Also referred to as a “kite” shield, originally from the 10th-12th centuries
• Associated with the Normans, who were the first to use this style of shield widely
• Made from non-splintering wood, such as alder, fir, poplar, or linden

A murder of crows frantically scampers away in all directions crawing, as Drurgha The Devourer kicks one armoured leg through the rotting wooden gate that was their resting place a moment ago. He fiercely stomps down the road. Behind him his followers, a gang of hell-raising warriors with no greater purpose or aim in this world than to raid and spread chaos, are getting rowdy as their anticipation of pillage and women grows bigger.

The terrible leader stops at a housecorner, his dark, gloved hand clenching the wrapped handle of his Marauder sword; a nightmarish weapon, that has defiled more men, than he cares to count. Behind the horned helmet his mouth twists in a gruesome smile…

DETAILS

Feast your eyes on Epic Armoury’s Stronghold Marauder Sword, and let yourself be devoured by its ruinous appearance: this weapon is the pure picture of evil!

This sword has a 65 cm fullered blade designed to be lightweight, while maintaining its structural stability. Made from EVA foam around a fibreglass core and finished with a strong and impressive paintwork, this sword is just as soft as any latex coated weapon but even more sturdy in battle! 

The longer version exhibits a 20 cm long, highly detailed spacer made from polyurethane foam, that is hand painted and textured to look like eroded or corrupted metal with thorny growths. The steel coloured crossguard is embellished with a skeleton face, and the handle is cast and painted to appear like it has been wrapped with the flayed skin of cowards. A spiked ring pommel accentuates the cruel nature of this design - this sword screams evil!

Due to the density of the blade, there is a chance of paint being rubbed off due to the friction caused when the blade and another dry surface makes contact. To mitigate this, we advise you to coat the blade with Epic Armoury Protection Gel rather than regular maintenance silicone spray, which will reduce the friction and in turn stress on the paint.

The Stronghold Marauder Sword is high quality gear due to its impressive durability and magnificent details. This sword will make you confident in the safety and appeal of your LARP weapon on the battlefield, be you a nightmarish Marauder or the captain of an undead army.

The finest closed cel foam weapons on the battlefield!

A HEINOUS HELMET!

 "What do they look like? I do not know! Who can imagine what a face of such soulless malice really looks like? I doubt they even have a face. In fact, it wouldn’t surprise me if those doomed helmets only contain everlasting darkness and hunger to cause suffering.”

The Marauder Helmet provides unyielding, ruinous protection and is made from mild steel in Epic Dark and Epic Grey colours to emphasise a sinister and unholy origin. It is designed with star-shaped place-holder screws that are replaceable with mountable accessories such as the Mountable Demon Horns and minor grips, making it possible to attach heinous additions such as a Goblin Shrunken Head or a Halfling Tongue Trophy.

A CUIRASS OF CARNAGE!

 “Iron-clad, you say? Pah! A full thrust from my spear was not even enough to scratch that cuirass! I do not know what the armours of those ruinous abominations are made of, but I bet a full pouch of silver that you need more than just courage to sunder them. Is that sword of yours magical by chance?”

The Marauder Cuirass provide unyielding, ruinous protection and is made from mild steel in Epic Dark and Epic Grey colours to emphasise a sinister and unholy origin. It is designed with star-shaped place-holder screws that are replaceable with mountable accessories such as the Mountable Demon Horns and minor grips, making it possible to attach heinous additions such as an Elven Shrunken Head or a Human Tongue Trophy.

A SHOULDER TO DIE ON!

 "He swung at the abomination’s neck, praying that his years of military experience and raw strength would be enough. It was not. Far from it. The imposing shield blocked his blade instantly, and the being merely twisted its shoulders in a spiteful jerk, impaling his lungs in a painfully short moment. With his last breath, he understood that every spiked inch on these iron-clad fiends was a lethal weapon.”

The Marauder Pauldrons provide unyielding, ruinous protection, made from mild steel in Epic Dark and Epic Grey colours to emphasise a sinister and unholy origin. They are designed with star-shaped place-holder screws that are replaceable with the Mountable Demon Horns and minor grips, making it possible to attach heinous additions such as an Orc Shrunken Head or a Human Tongue Trophy.

LETHAL LEGS!

 “The squire did his best to withstand the assault. His determination was admirable. However, it did not change the inevitable. The armoured being did not even bother to strike him down with its cursed blade. Instead, it mocked him by lethally kicking its spiked leg into his chest before continuing onwards.”

The Marauder Greaves provide unyielding, ruinous protection, made from mild steel in Epic Dark and Epic Grey colours to emphasise a sinister and unholy origin. They are designed with star-shaped place-holder screws that are replaceable with mountable accessories such as the Mountable Demon Horns and minor grips, making it possible to attach heinous additions such as an Human Shrunken Head or a Elven Trophy Ear.

These soft polyurethane horns are the culmination of years of research into how to safely insert metal inside of foam, how to mitigate the force of strikes against a body in armour, and a snorting sparkling green dust during lunchbreaks.

Available in 4 different colours; Dark Bone, Unpainted (DIY), Light Tip and Dark Tip, they are sold in pairs in 3 different sizes; Small, Medium and Large

What better way to show how many enemies you have slain than by keeping their heads as vile trophies?

These are also soft enough to be used as throwing weapons in most local game systems once you have removed the bone from the nose.

The humans are short lived and greedy creatures, like lice infecting the world with their disease-ridden numbers. Like most sentient creatures, however, family is exceptionally important. A human’s heritage is a part of their identity.

That’s why you took the prince’s head after you defeated him in battle. You wanted the royal family to fear you and your ferocious might. Wearing your Human Shrunken Head on your belt has caused quite a commotion in the human ranks.

It can be carefully dry-brushed or customized using Epic Effects Make-Up.

HISTORY

• Similar in use to the historical practice of human trophy collecting

A whole head is clearly overkill and frankly, just creepy.
Everyone knows that normal battlefield trophies are a perfectly acceptable ear hung around the neck in a garrish fashion.

The humans are short lived and greedy creatures, like lice infecting the world with their disease-ridden numbers. That’s why you kill every human you ever come across.

You keep a collection of human ears, hung from leather around your neck. You want those lousy men to fear you and your ferocious might. Wearing your Human Trophy Ear around your neck has caused quite a commotion in the human ranks.

It is sure to create fear--and hatred--in the hearts of your enemies.

These bracers are made with a cut out for the inner elbow, so that the wearer can bent his arm all the way without the bracers interfearing with the movement. Additionally they are built with a ridge along the edge and a surrounding pattern of rivets.

The bracers have a bigger inner diameter, so that they can be worn on top of a gambeson and even a chain mail. A great way to built up a heavy plate armour.

Like all parts of our "Markward" series, these bracers are simple in design, but look lean and elegant just like the "Markward" greaves. 
This impression is enhanced by a burr along the midsection. Additionally the burr strenghtens the steel construct.

Shredder would have bought them from us if it wasn't for those damn Turtles!
