Marauder Greaves

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.

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.”

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.

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.”

ARMED PROTECTION!

That day I lost both my hand and rondel, but at least I live to tell about it. The constant pain in my crippled arm is a reminder to you all. Never fight these ruinous monsters unless you plan to die!”

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.

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.

ARMOURS FOR THE ADVENTUROUS MERCENARY

Epic Armoury’s Renegade Greaves are a set of 1mm mild steel leg guards designed to cover the shin and lower front leg, while also maintaining agility. The greaves consist of three metal plates that loops around the front of the shin and front leg. These three metal plates envelope most of your shin and front leg, while having two leather straps, on the upper part of the greave and on the bottom, that can secure themselves around your back leg. Due to the design of the Greaves, you can match them with anyone footwear that you would prefer, offering more comfort than similar design, that has an accompanying footwear.

The Renegade Greaves are designed to match Epic Armoury’s ‘Renegade’ set, a mercenary inspired armour set that has been designed for specifically female body sizes and types. The Renegade armour is perfect for the well-armed and armoured adventurers or the Rebellious individuals fighting against an unjust empire. Renegade armour is made in such a way that it can also be paired with other Epic Armoury armours, to grant you endless customization possibilities. To wear the Renegade Greaves, you have straps on the top and bottom of the greaves, make sure that each strap is tightly fitted in order to keep the Greave firmly in place.

With overlapping plates, rivets and its lean form, you can feel like a fantasy norsemen, braving the harsh wilderness and slaying ancient dragons among snow covered peaks.

The Dreki set has two colours, the primary being a Matte Polish and the secondary being Epic Dark, to highlight different aspects of the Dreki armour and again show its Nordic inspired roots. Made of 1 mm thick polished 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.

Don't worry so much. You will die soon enough!

Each of the 1 mm metal greaves is composed of 2 metal plates riveted together. These plates protect the front part of the shin and knee and are secured to the fighter's leg with two leather straps. The raider leg guards will not impede movement and are designed to give your character an aggressive appearance.
