Oh no, you think, as a sword and a helmet are thrust into your farm-calloused hands. You’ve never been trained as a soldier, let alone asked to fight on a dangerous battlefield!

But here you are, suddenly standing in a row of your neighbors with your helmet secured over a padded Undercap. You await the advancing orc raid headed for your farms and your town, and you just hope that somehow you’ll make it through. At least your helmet feels solid on your head. That’s something to be thankful for, at least...right?

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Undercap is a padded hood that fits over the head and ears comfortably. Made from quilted cotton canvas lined with a soft polyester interior and a medium cotton outer layer, this padding can be worn on its own or as padding beneath a heavy steel or leather helmet.

The Undercap is stitched to ensure the padding will remain evenly spaced. Secure it to your head by tying the cotton cords under the chin. With its neutral style, the Undercap will work on a wide variety of characters. Match it with other Epic Armoury armours and clothes to fit your unique style!

HISTORY

• Used as padding under chainmail or plate armour
• Historically, a high-medieval European gambeson was recorded as being capable of stopping sword blows from penetrating the skin
• Could stop heavy arrows and mace and axe impacts with the addition of overlaying chainmail

As the patriarch of the clan he will not bow down to any nothing, who attempts to mauraud his village. He might look old with his silver beard, scarred face and furrowed brow, but his stark blue eyes are flinty and intimidating.The many scars that mar his body show how stalwart and steady he’s been through his long life as a warrior.

“Today is no different”, he thinks staring angrily at the monstrous horned figure, that emerges from the mist between the longhouse and the road beyond. As he places his hand on the pommel of his trusty Dreki Sword hanging from his belt, the action emboldens him and fills him with strength. In true Stalwart manner he decides that an insult is the proper way to get this fight going. “Vel kominn, elskar af geitr!” he roars…

Behold the Stronghold Dreki Sword: Sea serpents, dire-wolves and competing Viking-scum will not stand a chance!

This splendid 102 cm sword has a 67 cm fullered blade designed to be lightweight while maintaining its structural stability. Made from EVA foam surrounding 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, and another significant addition to the Stronghold line! 

The longer version exhibits a 20 cm long, highly detailed spacer made from polyurethane foam, that is sculpted and hand painted to resemble real leather with cross- stitching.The golden crossguard features an elaborate serpent-like embellishment, and the handle is cast and painted to look like realistic hardwood with a crescent gold-pommel at the bottom.

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 a thin layer of silicone, which will reduce the friction and in turn stress on the paint

The Stronghold Dreki 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 glorious Viking or a headhunting Celt

The finest closed cel foam weapons on the battlefield!

Made in Quebec, Canada, by Les Artisans d'Azure, for Nemesis Workshops

The Athena line, from Nemesis Workshops, is a mass produced line of high quality LARP weapons.

Athena is a new thermoforming manufacturing process that we have developed in order to offer high quality products at the cutting edge of technology. 

Thanks to this new process, Nemesis has taken the quality of their products to a higher level. Safer due to reinforced tips, durable due to quality materials and foam fusion during thermoforming, incredible balance due to the weighting system in the handles, flawless blades due to high precision molds, and daggers ready to parry due to a more robust fiberglass rod.

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.

One poor soldier desperately strikes at you and you feel the thud of his sword against your Viking Spangenhelm, but it hardly makes a scratch. You see the terror in his eyes as your laugh fills the field and you bring the strength of your axe down upon him.

You are Raynor Ironshood. Let them fear you. Let them all fear you.
