Raven Helmet

Lothar's jaw was set in grim determination. As one of the King's elite guardsmen he had a duty to protect the Queen and the royal heir. He thought proudly to himself on how the filthy Orcs would not get past him. Sadly, he was facing outward into the hallway when the assassin slipped through the window.

Your steel demands blood!

You clench your Chaos Axe more firmly, the blood pumps faster through your veins as the high waves splash against your weathered face. Your kin laugh and relish the harsh seas as hostile terrain feels like home. Running a finger across the nicked edge of the Axe you smile at the memories of you slaying your enemies in a blood-fuelled rage. You glance up, one moment before taking a sharp breath, to war you go.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Chaos Axe is a deadly and menacing 110 cm two-handed axe designed for the brutal and barbaric maurauder. It has a 32 cm long axe-blade with detailing that makes it look battered, used and brutal, an execellent companion piece for your less than merry fighter or blood thirsty barbarian at your next LARP. The head is hand painted to look like real metal embellished with gold, and nicks in the steel to emphasize the used aesthetic, and it is made of safe, soft foam. The bladed head attaches to the shaft which is hand painted. The 37 cm grip at the end of the Chaos Axe is wrapped in suede leather for appearance and comfort.

Made from durable closed cell foam around a solid 10 mm fibreglass core and finished with a strong latex coating, your new LARP axe will provide the safety and appeal you want when crafting your next LARP character.

HISTORY

• The first hafted axe was created about 6,000 B.C. using birch-tar and raw-hide lashings to fix the blade to its handle
• Many battle axes doubled as tools and were cheaper to make than swords
• Axes are still very prevalent today and is one of the most common tools found in most households, around the world

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

As a squire, you must wake with the sun to prepare for your training. You are responsible for your master as well as your extra chores, and it’s only after the morning’s water is boiled and you’ve set out your master’s clothing and polished armour that you are allowed to begin your drills.

What armour you own, a RFB Neck & Shoulders set, is easy enough for you to wear as you practice your sword swings. One day you will be a fearsome knight. For now, you must continue to train hard and build your skills.

Your work is dirty, bloody and harsh. You don’t need the best; it’s beyond your pay. You just need sturdy, serviceable and durable.

Solid steel is better than adornment, and while your gear shows years of wear, it still works just as well as the day you bought it. Your Footman Sword might be plain, but when you’ve shoved it into the other guy, yours is the only opinion that matters.

DETAILS
