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.

With a thunk the crude wooden arrow clatters against the sturdy metal of Raven helmet. With a roar you charge the roughly dressed bandit before you, lifting your weapon high to cleave him in twain.

You’ve always believed skyforge steel is best and your armour reflects that fact. From the tip of your helmet to the base of your boots, your armour shines in the sun where it’s not covered with the blood of your enemies.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Raven Helmet is a skull cap helmet inspired by the spangenhelm of the early medieval period. The beak shaped face guard and metal cheek flaps provide great protection and visibility to the face, while the chainmail aventail provides protection to the neck. Reinforced with rivets, a combed apex, and a steel band around the rim, you can expect this helmet to stand up against any who should stand against you.

Secure the Raven Helmet by tightening the leather strap beneath the chin, keeping the helmet in place. Made of 1 mm thick mild steel and top-grain leather straps and fittings, this armour piece is built to withstand the abuse of a LARP or reenactment with regular leather and metal armour care.

HISTORY

• Spangenhelm design is originally German
• Historically made from iron
• Face guard makes this helmet a type of “spectacle helmet”

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

Legend

Many years had passed, seeing old wars come to an end and new ones rise. The forest that belonged to Mael’s clan had shrunk, making way for the denser housing that had allowed its growing population to flourish. As his grandchild sat kneeling before him, he tried to remember why he had once thought the refugees would be such a threat but could only see his beloved wife’s eyes in the teen’s face.

“I do not know what the future holds for you but you have grown up strong and capable. You have learned our traditions well, both of our clan and of your grandmother’s ancestors. Your turn has come to walk in your parents’ footsteps and aid in guarding our peace.”

One at a time, Mael opened the folds of fabric and slowly unveiled a dagger. It bore a striking resemblance to his own but had been refashioned to represent the cultures that had come together as one within his lifetime. As he handed the weapon over, the youth’s eyes were bright; Mael prayed that these eyes would not be lost to this new war that drew near.

“He died before hitting the ground. Mere moments ago, he had been the predator chasing me as I scrambled over my fallen comrades on the battlefield. However, as if the Allfather himself had led my hand to find this lonely sword, our positions had suddenly reversed. As I stood victorious in a hurricane of death, I noticed it was carefully ornamented and made for our jarl. His time as a warlord had ended – and mine had begun.”

The Warlord Sword from Epic Armoury is part of our hybrid range. The blade is designed with a double fuller and comprises a fibreglass core embedded in closed-cell ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) foam coated with pigmented latex. The handle is made of polyurethane (PU) foam and features imitated gold and silver ornamentations loosely inspired by Nordic art from the Scandinavian Viking Age. Thus the sword fits exceedingly well in settings inspired by this historical period. Designwise, the Viking Sword is a fine alternative, also available in a battle-worn version, but if you seek an authentic design based on a real find, we recommend the EirikR Sword instead.

Inspired by the Khula Khud

• Khula Khuds were a type of helmet used by ancient western Asia, and included the use of an aventail
• Also very similar to a conical shaped Turban Helmet worn in the Ottoman Empire

The helm is crafted of flexible resin, with precisely-molded details and coloring, including weathering and aging effects. The helm comes with leather lining and leather staps for a comfortable feel when worn and will give you the protection you need in battle
