Orcthropologist Pith Helmet

What what!? I say, do you want to stay cool and breezy this humid season as you scrounge berries for pigs, eh what?

Yeeees! This Pith helmet is remarkably well constructed resin of some uhhh kind, and cotton. The bestpart is that we can use the left over cotton for uhhhh gin,eh what!

The only bugger of it is that it needs a chin strap installed in case some silly green skin native wants to fire ouhhhh one of their primitive bows at you! PING! Come straight off the head, and I dare say the stuff on top of your shoulders is next, eh what!

Your clan needs blood in order to perform a powerful ritual before battle. You have captured many new slaves, and the chief has decided to force them into a tournament. The losers shall be sacrificed.

As the clan’s shaman, you await your first victim. There are cheers and roars of excitement from your fellow orcs as a human soldier is forced to fight one of his companions. In desperation to survive, their friendship quickly withers. The beaten opponent is brought before your altar, and with your Bone Knife you take the blood you need.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury's new Bone Knife is a natural looking 10.8 cm blade and sculpted 8 cm handle perfect for orcs, barbarians, and other creatures of the forest. Featuring more detailing than previous throwing knives, the Bone Knife appears more realistic thanks to the bone texture, colour and the sculpted leather cord. Use it as a weapon or primitive tool--whatever fits your needs!

Made from coreless durable closed cell foam and finished with a strong latex coating, you can feel confident that this throwing knife will provide the safety and appeal you want when crafting your kit.

HISTORY

• Knife throwing was first used in martial arts and hunting before it became a sport
• Throwing a knife was always considered a risk in martial arts, because an unsuccessful attack would leave you without a weapon while arming your attacker

The greatest adventurers document their journeys for posterity, so that one day their tales might be retold and remembered. You are still awaiting your first big adventure, but you are ready.

Your Leather Diary is safely stored in your pack, and the moment something grand happens you will be able to write it down. Personally, you’re hoping for a dealing with a dragon--but just a small one. Maybe a kobold, to start.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Leather Diary is a small book with approximately 200 blank pages. Whenever you need to write down information or record data, do it by staying in character. The paper is heavy and textured, gathered into 16-24 page bundles bound at the spine with a fine leather cord.

The cover is made from stenciled top-grain leather which protects the pages inside. It is secured closed using a short leather strap with a brass buckle. Use this diary as the start of a secret tome filled with mysterious or infernal scribbles, a treatise, or simply as a personal in-game diary.

HISTORY

• The earliest bound books in the Western world used parchment with leather-covered wooden covers
• Many luxury medieval books had covers decorated with stamping and tooling

When you accepted this quest to steal an orc horde’s loot, you’d honestly figured that the townsfolk had been exaggerating about the numbers. Sure, you thought. They probably think an orc horde is only a handful of the little buggers. Nope. Turns out that when townsfolk say a horde, they mean at least sixty.

Really, they should have called it an army.

Oh well. The best plan you can manage with this bit of news is to disguise yourself as an orc and join the ranks--just until you can get your hands on the treasure, in any case. That is assuming no one realizes the face you are using isn’t originally your own.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Orc Trophy Mask is a face mask designed to look like the torn away face of a ferocious orc. Hide your face behind the stolen one of a defeated enemy, kept as a disguise or a tool to frighten your opponents. Made from 100% natural latex, this mask covers the whole face with roomy holes around the eyes, nostrils, and mouth for comfort and speech.

The face itself has a broad mouth and flat nose. Wrinkles and jagged edges give it the realistic appearance of having been torn away from the face of the victim. The complexion is a dark green with black shading.

Secure the mask to your face using the adjustable leather cords. Customize the mask’s appearance with Epic Effects Water-Based Makeup.

HISTORY

• Similar in use to the historical practice of human trophy collecting
• Remains of the deceased were collected to demonstrate dominance or to commemorate
• Earliest references to orcs are found in Old English and Anglo-Saxon sources, such as in Beowulf and in 16th century Italian folktales

You strike your sword against your rounded shield, shouting alongside your legionaries outside the gates of Syracuse. Inside, their people are filled with terror, deafened by your army’s trumpets and noise. Arrows rain down and you and your fellow soldiers form a barrier with your shields.

There is nothing that can stop you. The design of your shield allows you to stand in close formation, advancing on their defenders and dispatching them quickly. Even if an arrow should find its way through the cracks, your Troy Helmet will keep you protected.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Troy Helmet is a steel helmet inspired by the armour worn by the ancient hoplites. Featuring a horsehair plumed crest and protective cheek- and nasal-guards, this round steel-capped helmet is both impressive and practical. The shape of the helmet provides exceptional protection while granting the wearer clear vision.

Secure the Troy Helmet by tightening the leather strap beneath the chin, keeping the helmet in place. 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

• Worn by the Hoplites in the ancient Hellenic World around the Battle of Troy
• Some speculative ancient writers suggest this style of helmet was also worn by the warrior women of Africa
• Also referred to as a chalcidian helmet

Your Knight’s Code is one of valor, truth and courage. You are tasked with defending the innocent and the weak, and today your oath is being tested. Outside of town there has been a bandit attack on a merchant and his family, and it’s up to you to rescue them.

Your squire straps your Sallet onto your head over the weight of your chainmail coif, and with a prayer to your god you and your small unit strike out onto the road.

Criminals be warned.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Sallet is a protective helmet with a movable visor closely based on the historical helmet used in 15th century Germany. The visor is reinforced and shaped to fit comfortably around the face while still providing good air flow through its ventilation holes. This helmet is covered with detail that is both beautiful and practical. Wear the visor over the forehead or the face thanks to its flower-decorated hinge, or enjoy the decorative reinforcement plating along the brow. A flexible lobster neck-plate protects the back of the head behind the ears.

Secure the Sallet helmet by tightening the leather strap beneath the chin, keeping the helmet in place. 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

• Replaced the Italian bascinet during the mid 15th century
• Was especially popular in Germany

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

This Epic Armoury Helmet Stand is a great way to display our helmets in your shop, booth, or in your own home. The stand is made from mild steel, providing weight and structure necessary to support a heavy helmet, keeping the helmet safe from potential damage--and making it look good on your shelf, too!

Directions for use:

Metal armour should never be stored on the ground where it can collect moisture and dirt. Use this stand in order to prolong the lifespan of your steel or leather helmet.
