Marauder Pauldrons

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.”

The Marauder Pauldrons 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 the Mountable Demon Horns and minor grips, making it possible to attach heinous additions such as an Orc Shrunken Head or a Human Tongue Trophy.

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.”

The Marauder Helmet provides unyielding, ruinous protection and is made from mild steel in Epic Dark and Epic Grey colours to emphasise a sinister and unholy origin. It is 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 a Goblin Shrunken Head or a Halfling Tongue Trophy.

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. Is that sword of yours magical by chance?”

ARMED PROTECTION!

“Listen up! You all know that this regiment is the toughest of them all. But this battle is different. I have seen seasoned soldiers being blown to bits by a single backhand slash from these ruinous bastards. Whatever you do, make sure to avoid their cursed spikes! Is that clear!?”

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.

These soft polyurethane horns are the culmination of years of research into how to safely insert metal inside of foam, how to mitigate the force of strikes against a body in armour, and a snorting sparkling green dust during lunchbreaks.

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.

That’s why you took the prince’s head after you defeated him in battle. You wanted the royal family to fear you and your ferocious might. Wearing your Human Shrunken Head on your belt has caused quite a commotion in the human ranks.

DETAILS

It can be carefully dry-brushed or customized using Epic Effects Make-Up.

HISTORY

The humans are short lived and greedy creatures, and they speak too much on topics they know nothing about. That’s why you take the tongue from every human you ever come across.

You keep a collection of these disgusting tongues, hung from leather around your neck. You want those lousy men to fear you and your ferocious might. Wearing your Human Tongue Trophy around your neck has caused quite a commotion in the human ranks.

HISTORY

Our "Seraphim" spaulders are a special piece for themselves: the design is knowingly not historical, but fantastic. They are made very opulent and underline the aspect of "showing-off" and being impressive.
The segment of the upper arm, holding one of the three blade-breakers, is attached to the wearers body with a single wide leather strap. The two upper blade-breakers are mounted to another moveable part and provide a certain movability despite the size of the spaulders.

The buckle on the top of the spaulders is used to attach them to all of our gorgets and chest plates. These spaulders size is impressive, without loosing it being oversized.

You look upon your leading officer as he makes his way down the line of your fellow soldiers. Your fate and the fate of your entire unit is dependent on this veteran’s word, and you find yourself relieved not to shoulder such a heavy burden.

“We must fight!” your officer shouts for all to hear. You adjust your Dark Warrior Armour, double checking the buckles as you listen to him continue. “For our homes and for our families, we will fight until we can fight no more!” With a resounding cheer, your fellow soldiers ready themselves for the charge. You withdraw your weapon, eager and afraid all at once.

The battle has begun.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Shoulder Plate Giant Warrior are a set of two shoulder guards designed to protect the shoulder-joints and upper arm. This armour’s metal plates overlap one another to provide complete laminate protection. Overlaying the spaulders is a large pauldron, which provides additional protection to joints and armpits. Atop the pauldron a vertical plate sword breaker catches and deflects blows before they can impact the head. The sword breaker is slightly concave and somewhat higher at the back than the front, thus providing protection without impairing vision. Although the armour is designed to match Epic Armoury’s ‘Warrior’ set, it is fully interchangeable with other Epic Armoury armours in order to fully customize your character’s look.

Secure the Shoulder Plate Giant Warrior by tightening the top leather strap onto a breast- or neck-plate, adjusting so that the armour sits comfortably over the shoulder. Keep the armour from further moving by securing an additional top leather strap around the upper arm. 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

• Historically designed with sculpted ridges and overlapping plates to provide reinforced protection and to deflect attacks on a chaotic battlefield
• Plate armour became more popular as firearm technology became more prevalent during the 13th century

Intimidation. It’s your main form of weaponry while facing the heroes, because it gives you full control. When your enemies fear you, they are more likely to make fatal mistakes.

Your Dark Drake Armour is as dark as your intentions, hardened by the evil magic your subjects provide. As you withdraw your sword, sizing up the quivering soldier who feels brave enough to stand against you, you begin to laugh. This will be a very brief fight--if you can even call it that. The little man looks barely strong enough to hold up his hammer.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Dark Drake Shoulderplates are a set of two shoulder guards with spaulders, pauldrons and besagues. The spaulders have four scale-like ridged metal plates--or lames--overlaying one another to provide laminate protection of the upper arms. Overlaying the spaulder is a large pauldron, which provides additional protection to the shoulder joint and armpits. Besauges (small round convex metal shields) tied onto the spaulders with leather cords add further protection to the armpits. The shoulderplates are fastened with leather straps around the biceps and at the shoulder blade, attaching to a breast- and backplate. Epic Armoury breast- and backplates can be purchased separately and have fittings for mounting the shoulders.

The Dark Drake Shoulderplates are designed to match Epic Armoury’s Dark Drake Armour, but is fully usable with other Epic Armoury metal products, giving you the freedom to customize your character’s costume. Made of 1 mm thick galvanized 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

• Plate armour became more popular as firearm technology became more prevalent during the 13th century
• Historically designed with sculpted ridges and overlapping plates to provide reinforced protection and to deflect attacks on a chaotic battlefield
• An evolution of the spaulders during the 15th century

You look down the line of soldiers, knowing that their fate and the fate of your entire unit is dependent on your word. It is quite a heavy burden, far heavier than the magnificently polished steel Milanese Pauldrons on your shoulders.

“We must fight!” you shout for all to hear. “For our homes and for our families, we will fight until we can fight no more!” With a resounding cheer, your soldiers ready themselves for the charge. You withdraw your weapon, finding your resolve and setting your gaze upon the enemy.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Polished Steel Milanese Pauldrons are a pair of simple low-fantasy shoulderguards. The pauldrons rest on top of the shoulders and cover the upper arms and a large portion of the upper back. Both are attractively curved to add structural strength to the steel while maintaining flexibility thanks to the overlapping plates. Asymmetrical in design, the left pauldron is fitted with a vertical plate designed to protect the head from glancing blows. These steel riveted pieces have been polished to a high-gloss finish to appeal to the knights in shining armour.

The Milanese Pauldrons are embellished with a top beveled plate to further deflect attacks, as well as a chain pin to attach an insignia. Secure them by tying the canvas ties to a breastplate or gambeson, and pulling the leather straps tight around the upper arms. They are fully usable with Epic Armoury’s Milanese Armour set, as well as other Epic Armoury metal work products, giving you the freedom to customize your character’s costume. 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.
