Orc Brute Shoulder Armor

The strongest and cruelest of the orcs need nothing more than their bare hands to bring death and destruction to humanity. The mystics are wiser and make sure they are equipped to survive the assault. 

Some orcs preferred flint and obsidian for the way that it manages to flense pathetic smooth skins so easily, but the more intelligent among the savage tribes recognised the need for a good can opener.

War is all that you know. For your clan, war is a permanent state of being. Just as you need meat to sustain you and leather armour to protect your leathery green skin, war keeps your thirst for chaos and violence sated.

Your clan now gathers to prepare for the war against the goblins. The creatures used to be your allies, but in the last battle they became cowardly and ran. Now there is nothing more to be done than to hunt down every one of them and serve them over your fire.

You begin by picking up your Dervish Spear.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Dervish Spear is a 190 cm latex weapon inspired by a primitive glaive. The spear’s 70 cm blade is curved and spiked to give it a vengeful look, sculpted and handpainted to appear attached to a wooden pole with leather ties. The weapon is designed to look worn and realistic, with wood grain textures and a matte metal finish.

Made from durable closed cell foam around a fibreglass core and finished with a strong latex coating, you can feel confident that your LARP weapon will provide the safety and appeal you want when crafting your kit.

HISTORY

• A form of the spear has been used for hunting for at least 400,000 years
• Spears were the most common form of weaponry during the Stone Age, and remained popular until firearms were introduced
• This particular design is similar to a glaive, where a single-edged blade is attached to the end of a pole

The chopping tool was favoured by the men of the islands. Whilst true that it lacked the finesse of a smaller, handheld knife, it did provide the stasifaction of cleaving through the shining armour of the men that arrived trying to take their land.

A Powerful Chopping Blade

Epic Armoury’s Panabas is a 140 cm long LARP sword inspired by the southern Philippines. Featuring a forward curving 75 cm latex blade, the Panabas is a tribal weapon that is great for your Ruinous character! Handmade and hand painted to look like real metal and wood, it is made out of soft EVA foam around a 12 mm solid fibreglass rod core--chosen for its durability and safety. It is coated with latex for its smooth appearance and to minimize shredding.

The Panabas is sculpted to look like a long, axe-like blade that has been heavily notched from war. The 37 cm handle grip is textured like a real wooden staff, with the suggestion of leather binds around its ends. It’s perfect for orcs and barbarians of all sorts.

Inspired by Filipino History

• A unique weapon unique to the southern Philippines
• The real weapon ranged in size, and produced a cleaver-like wound
• The hilt was often made from hard narra wood and wrapped in braided rattan

It wasn't so much a case of modesty, but rather the need for psychological warfare that the Orcs had recently discovered.

To have buttocks hidden, thereby making it  conscious decision to expose them, made it extra insulting to the enemy.

You begin by picking up your Orc Axe.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Orc Axe is a 90 cm latex axe designed specifically for the Orc Universe collection. The axe head is wedge-shaped and 20 cm long from bite to shoulder, with a 35 cm curved edge. The head is fixed to the wood grain staff with reinforced glass-fibre, but is sculpted and handpainted to look anchored by a metal hinge and some wire.

Made from durable closed cell foam around a fibreglass core and finished with a strong latex coating, you can feel confident that your LARP weapon will provide the safety and appeal you want when crafting your kit.

HISTORY

• Many battle axes doubled as tools and were cheaper to make than swords
• First hafted axe was created about 6,000 B.C. using birch-tar and raw-hide lashings to fix the blade to its handle

INSPIRATION

• Earliest references to orcs are found in Old English and Anglo-Saxon sources, such as in Beowulf and in 16th century Italian folktales

• J.R.R. Tolkien’s 20th century The Lord of the Rings series describes orcs as brutish, aggressive beings with a taste for human flesh
• Tolkien’s writings influenced many role-playing games, and are now seen in such games as Dungeons and Dragons, Warhammer and Warcraft

QUALITY

• Thick 100% natural high-quality latex skin
• Clear, fine details
• Excellent fit, modelled on a living person
• Expressive face that fits over the jawline, allowing the mouth to move with your natural jaw movement

MAINTENANCE

After each use, wash the inside of the mask with a damp sponge or cloth with a mild detergent to remove the natural oils from your skin. After drying, dust it lightly with baby powder.

Additionally, this Epic Effects Latex mask requires Epic Armory Silicone spray to help keep the latex flexible and to protect the mask against dirt, wear and tear. Spray the silicone directly on your mask and work it into the entire surface with a cloth.

Store the mask on a Styrofoam head or stuff it with plastic garbage bags to retain its shape.
