Whether a novice or a veteran you rely on solid armour to protect you. Epic Armoury’s RFB Veteran Armour is an elegant leather cuirass designed to protect your torso from harm. The armour is constructed from chrome-tanned split leather and carefully stitched around the edges to create a simple yet aesthetic design with lines suggesting a slim waist and broad shoulders. Secure it tightly over the chest and abdomen using the four sturdy leather straps – each riveted with decorative brass studs – and brass buckles. The strong leather lacing at the flanks allows you to further adjust the fit if needed

 Hemmed with additional soft split leather to keep it from deforming with excessive wear, this armour will withstand any LARP abuse, you might force on it. The cuirass matches our Veteran Greaves and Bracers, but has a distinct, neutral style that will fit with almost any combination of costuming in the medieval and renaissance eras. Wear it over chainmail or a padded gambeson, or - for a more casual look - over a tunic or doublet, when you embark on your next adventure.

HISTORY

• Inspired by “brigandine” armour from the Middle Ages, but lighter without the usual metal plates riveted into the armour
• Inspired style came into wide use during the 15th century

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

Epic Armoury’s Footman Sword is a long latex-hybrid sword inspired by medieval weapons and fantasy lore alike. The sword is 110 cm long and has a 87 cm blade with a long fuller. The crossguard features a subtle curved design that protects a 13 cm grip. This grip, designed to look like real leather, is ergonomic and ends with a “scent stopper” pommel.

Whether you are a common soldier or a secluded wanderer, this Footman Sword is one of our highest quality products due to its impressive durability and detail. The blade is made from closed cell foam around a fibreglass core and finished with a strong latex coating, while the handle is a polyurethane foam cast that allows for greater detail and no maintenance. This hybrid model sword will give you confidence in the safety and appeal of your weapon on the battlefield.

HISTORY

• Commonly referred to as a “broadsword,” which is actually a historically incorrect term
• Inspired by the two-handed longsword of the late medieval and Renaissance era, but with a slightly shorter blade

As the towering champion of the Footmen fell, the rest of the ranks knew the rest was up to them.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Footman Tower Shield is a kite shaped latex shield originally inspired by the Greeks. Finished with a hand painted wooden body and decorative metal rim, this shield is sure to impress your fellow warriors on the battlefield..

HISTORY

• Iron rim was sometimes used as a way to reinforce the shield. It offered protection to most of the warrior’s body.

As she quietly slits the guard’s throat with a swift and controlled movement, Cas makes sure to hold him, so he doesn’t make any noise and attracts unwanted attention, when he hits the ground.

The devious Lord that hired her and a couple of poor scumbag mercenaries seemed to forget to pay for her services. A content smile spreads across her face, and she draws her sword again sneaking against the ivy covered stone wall. This visit will be over before anyone can say “scoundrel”...

DETAILS

Epic Armoury proudly presents yet another addition to the Stronghold line: Wield our Stronghold Arming Sword and experience an era past with this powerful and charmingly simple Medieval-inspired weapon!

 This 105 cm sword has a 67 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 fullered spacer made from polyurethane foam, that is sculpted and hand painted. The gold coloured crescent crossguard is embellished with subtle steel details, and the handle is cast and painted to appear like brown criss-crossed leather. A flat crescent pommel at the end of the handle stands as a promise, that this no-fuss-sword will get the job done for you.

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 Arming 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, whether you are part of an outlaw group or a lone ranger

The finest closed cel foam weapons on the battlefield!

The rope groaned under its charge, a bundle of fibers holding up for dear life against the nearly one ton boulder it lifted high in the tree canopy, hidden from sight. Lyz wiped some sweat from her forehead, keeping her breathing under control despite the growing anxiety she could feel building up inside her. It took five of them to set the trap, and the other rangers watched carefully as she kept her blade against the rope, this fragile thing holding the massive rock they hauled in the branches. A big stone was all they needed to vanquish that foe, but it had to land perfectly. They wouldn't get a second chance. The red haired ranger was carefully listening to the forest, and she noticed the silence of the woods before she heard the stomping sound resonate through the soft ground. It was coming. The giant had followed their trail, just like they planned, but it was enormous, standing nearly 30 feet tall, with a wide bearded face, big flat tombstone-shaped teeth, and small porcine eyes scanning the forest for delicious meat to gorge on. The thing had made a meal out of a whole lumber camp a few days before. It had to die before it reached a village, and Lyz's family was living in the nearest one down the trail. 

Feeling her hunting knife slipping in her grip, Lyz quickly wiped her moist hands on her trousers, before lining the sharp edge against the rope, her green eyes locked on the lumbering form. Time seemed to slow down, and the rope creaked in agony, so loud it made the monster twitch and turn its head in her direction, almost as if it could see her through the foliage. It took a step, its ugly face distorting in anger and hunger. It knew! One of the younger rangers gasped in fear at the sight, and jumped out of cover, making a run for it in his panic. Lyz couldn't do anything to stop him, keeping her gaze on the target, and the subtle marker on the ground. Taking chase behind the fleeing ranger, the monster turned, returning on the trail. It was moving fast, too fast, his massive legs covering enormous ground in a single step. Unable to gauge the distance accurately, Lyz took a chance before the monster got out of range and cut the rope in one swift motion of her knife. Just as the giant leaned to grab the running ranger, the boulder fell from the canopy, landing with a thud at the base of his neck. Bone cracked and the monster collapsed face-first into the ground...defeated at last. Unfortunately for the young ranger, he couldn't move out of the fall in time. If only he followed Lyz's example and kept his nerves…

This jack-of-all-trade hunting knife is suitable for almost any type of character in LARP, from rogues, to rangers, simple bandits, seasoned hunters, or tough frontier folks. Its long single edged blade makes it a great backup in combat for archers and forest raiders, or the perfect off-hand weapon for two weapons fighting.

“The deer gave her a resolute look. There was something otherworldly about it. The baron had paid her handsomely to bring him the head of the white hart, but she felt that there was something else to this story. The other rangers called her the best archer in the realm, and hundreds of deer had been hunted down by her skill and resolve. But better than most, she knew some arrows were best kept in the quiver. Thus she lowered her bow and nodded in respect. The hart returned the gesture, and a bond was formed. One that eventually would save her life.”
