Let the Darkness Be Your Bulwark Against The Enemy.
This phrase was oft used by the drow when teaching their apprentice assassins. However, it did very little to protect them from the blind warrior monks the humans eventually unleashed upon them.
But the Drow learn and adapt. They know that the best things to steal from your enemies are first their ideas and then their tools.

LET DARKNESS BE YOUR BULWARK AGAINST THE ENEMY

Epic Armoury’s Drow shield is a large shield inspired by heater shields used for jousting in the 15th century. A hand painted black center with gold edges and a white heraldy mimics a traditional elven heraldry design. The rim is detailed to look like golde metal. While the design is simple, this Drow Shield is evocative of elven curvatures with its organic design and oppressive colour scheme.

Wear this Drow Shield left-handed with the use of three leather arm straps on the back, secured through hard EVA foam for a reliable and solid grip made to last. Feel confident that this latex shield will withstand the continued abuse of a LARP with regular latex maintenance.

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

• Curved upper left corner is called a bouche, which was historically done to serve as a rest for a jouster’s lance and to improve the knight’s view

Their fearsome display was not about numbers. They fought in perfect unison, even in smaller groups, coordinating precise strikes with supernatural efficiency. There was no hint of emotion, no signs of rage, fury or thirst for war. No hesitation, fear or mercy. Only calculated conduct behind an armoured ultimatum clad in black and blue. The Black Ice was like a glacious mountain causing the steady sinking of our otherwise unsinkable fleet.

The Black Ice Armour pieces were initially designed for the Black Ice faction at the ConQuest of Mythodea. However, the style also easily fits other campaigns for warriors, knights and paladins. With the blue, black and silver colours, you will surely stand out in a characteristic armour kit. The Black Ice Shoulder Plate Set comprises a two-piece gorget that covers the clavicles and is fitted with vegetable-tanned top-grain leather fastenings for the shoulder armour pieces. These pieces constitute layered spaulders that cover the shoulders and upper arms and are moulded to deflect hits to the head and neck. The shoulder armour pieces can also be attached directly to a chest plate. If you wish to upgrade to a more comprehensive kit, we recommend the CQ Black Ice Medium Deal or CQ Black Ice Heavy Deal.

The best defence in life means nothing if it is eaten away by time and the elements, or even attacked from the inside.
And so it is with your own armour!
Humidity, expansion and contraction in the heat, UV radiation, rain, and the withering blows of your enemies all conspire to expose your armour to rust, but worse yet, your very own precious bodily fluids conspire to corrode it from the inside with their impurities and corruption! (which is why we only ever drink pure grain alcohol or rainwater)

You could coat your armour (and other metal objects) in a regular run of the mill lubricant, but many of them are actively hydrophobic. Great for metal but terrible for leather, cotton and other organic materials!

Lanox MX4 is a lanolin rich lubricant, and lanolin is the oil that is naturally produced by sheep to prevent them from shrinking in the rain and generally remain weather proof! It is superior to many artificial compounds and does not damage leathers or organic fibres.

Please note: Due to the pressurised nature of this product, it is NOT A PRODUCT THATCAN BE DELIVERED by standard courier. You will need to pick it up from us at a game or warehouse, or we may arrange for specialty couriers by request.

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.”

A HANDSOMELY HIDEOUS HELMET!

The Raider Helmet offers armour with an antique, almost amphibian appearance that is perfect for any combative character with an alien ambience. The helmet is made of mild steel and padded with leather for comfort. It is the crowning piece of the Raider Armour but can be combined with other armour types for a specialised look.

There are stories being told about you amongst the soldiers. You are the mercenary who has slain over a thousand men. You put fear in your enemies with just a glance of your unique Visored Barbuta. Your aura of darkness freezes the hearts of anyone who looks you in the eye. And your favorite? Someone is saying you made a deal with a devil so that you may never die.

You will never tell them which might be true. Instead, as you sit just beyond the campfire and clean the blood from your Visored Barbuta, you simply listen...and smirk.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Visored Barbuta is a gracefully curved full-helmet with a distinctive visor. The visor is movable and can be flipped up over the helmet. Whether up or down, the visor can be locked in place with a pin-and-chain. The visor has two rectangular eye-slits, flat nose and a large Maltese-Cross breathing-hole. Wrought to follow the shape of the head and reinforced with a low crest from forehead to neck, the helmet is elegant while still being comfortable to wear.

The helmet gives full protection to head except at the throat. The Barbuta was used mainly by the flamboyant Italian mercenaries of the renaissance and was favoured with light troops for the mix of protection and excellent visibility. Made to wear with renaissance style clothes, it has a high-fantasy feel that will fit with a lot of characters.

HISTORY

• More accurately resembles a German “sallet” due to the visor
• A “barbuta” was a 15th century Italian design considered to be a specialized form of “sallet” without a visor
• Historical design also influenced Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, and Marvel Comics X-Men costumes
