Warhammer

Chainmail has become popular on the battlefield, protecting soldiers from sharp blades and arrows. But you are clever. A soldier in chainmail has every reason to fear you, because metal ring armour will do nothing against the blunt force of your Warhammer.

While you might be one of the thousands of soldiers on the field, you are still considered a skilled threat with the help of such a mighty weapon.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Warhammer is an 85 cm latex warhammer inspired by weapons of the late medieval period. This particular hammerhead is a slightly larger imitation with a smaller spike, specifically designed for a fantasy appearance and regard for larp safety. The hammer’s face is octagonal, and is 7 cm long from the haft. The claw-like spike is 10 cm long. With handpainted and sculpted detail, this hammer is designed to look like worn dark wood. The 20 cm handle is wrapped in brown split leather for a superior grip.

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 late medieval weapon designed to damage armoured opponents without penetrating through plate
• Long warhammers were typically designed against mounted troops, whereas shorter ones were used in close quarters
• Long warhammers were also used to attack horse’s legs during combat
• Spikes were added to the hammer’s head to pierce and grapple armour joints

Never go into battle before first tasting your favorite ale. That is the advice you would give any of your fellow Dwarves, for you never know when this may be your last fight.

You slam your Beer Mug onto the table as you await the finest dark ale you know. The tavern was quiet before you walked inside, tense with the anticipation of a coming war, but you are loud and bring life back to its walls. You raise a toast to the barkeep and to any nearby, granting them glory on the battlefield before drinking deeply from your mug.

It would be a true shame to leave this world while thirsty.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Beer Mug with Metal Bands is a throwing weapon handy for impromptu fights against other midnight boozers. The beer mug is cylindrical, standing 20 cm tall with a 18 cm diameter. The mug is carved with a wood texture and coloured brown to resemble the staves of a cask, rimmed with riveted metal-hoops. The hoops connect to the metal-coloured handle which is 8 cm deep, leaving plenty of room for grip. The inside is coloured black, mimicking a dark wax typically found on the inside of wooden mugs.

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

HISTORY

• Also called a “tankard,” which originally referred to any wooden drinking vessel
• Similar to the earliest form of a tankard, which did not have a lid and resembled a barrel
• Earliest form has been found from as far back as 2000 years ago

You lived much of your life carrying both an axe and a hammer. Both were useful tools, neither interchangeable for their particular task. You wouldn't use a hammer to chop through foes, nor would you use an axe when you wanted to ring a fellow’s helmet.

That’s why the Haxe is your favorite new weapon in the world. You save space on your belt and can easily switch from axe to hammer in one swing! It's the best of both worlds.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Haxe is a deadly 85 cm axe designed for a cunning fighter. It has a 16 cm long axe-blade and an opposite hammerhead for the most effective fight against armour. The head is hand painted to look like real metal embellished with engraved crosses, and it is made of safe, soft foam. The bladed head attaches to the shaft which is hand painted and sculpted to look like matching, ridged metal. The 12 cm grip at the end of the Haxe is wrapped in suede leather for appearance and comfort.

Made from durable closed cell foam around a solid 10 mm fibreglass core and finished with a strong latex coating, your new LARP axe will provide the safety and appeal you want when crafting your Sovereign kit.

HISTORY

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

Dig UP, stupid!

It’s About Survival

Epic Armoury’s Folding Shovel is a 60 cm spade made from foam, handcrafted to imitate an entrenching tool used by the military and survivalists alike. Entrenching shovels like this particular model have been used since WWII, and were considered a necessary part of a soldier’s equipment. They were even considered ancillary weapons, sharpened and used in close quarters at the Battle of Stalingrad.

Constructed from EVA foam around an 8 mm solid fibreglass rod, this Folding Shovel is finished with a durable layer of latex to prevent shredding and to give it a realistic, smooth surface. The 39 cm handle is carved and hand painted to look like real wood grain, while the 31 cm long head has a nice army-green metal finish with worn edges.

The shovel’s head is not actually foldable, but it includes fine details to give the impression that it can be! It is also reinforced to keep the head of the shovel from breaking, despite heavy use. Use this improvised axe against raiders, zombies, and radioactive rodents--while maintaining an air of ‘practicalism’ thanks to its multifunctional nature.

A Tool for Military Strategy

• Entrenching tools were used in ancient times by Roman legionnaires to dig ditches around their camps
• The entrenching tool was designed to fold easily for transport, and serve as both a shovel and a pick
• Entrenching tools were also considered a weapon and were often sharpened by soldiers in WWI and WWII

The Celtic double-headed Aidan hammer features a richly ornamented hammer head. Both faces are slightly angled, giving the hammer its unmistakeable character. "Aidan" is both a noble and a brutal foam weapon fits armed clerics, dwarves or Norse characters.

In the Black Dragon series, Italian manufactory Fucina del Drago, famous for their exceptional leather products, have created a foam weapon brand that combines traditional craftsmanship with a fantastic design.

Inserts of robust leather guarantee the necessary stability and durability. Carefully painted and with boasting a high-quality leather hilt wrapping, the "Black Dragon" foam weapon range will be a trusty companion for a long time. Please note that each foam weapon is individually crafted by hand, which is why the individual weapons' shape and colour may deviate slightly from the image.

We recommend regular care with silicon oil. Keep your foam weapons clean and dry at all times. Do not store them in a weapon's holder or similar contraption for extended periods of time. Your foam weapon should not be exposed to a lot of heat or direct sunlight for extended periods of time. This could lead to deformations or damage to the surface.

You think about dreaming it, we will take care of making it happen.

Our work briefly translates into this: starting from an idea, a sketch, a story and transforming those smoky lines into an object that can be used in the context (whether strictly historical or fantasy) for which it was designed.

Design therefore, at the base of each project, modulated on the budget of each client.

Realization, with a particular attention to detail and real use (not only display but rather mainly products made to be worn, used, lived).

Assistance, so that everything that has already been created does not suffer the damage of time or the wear and tear of years of use.

Black Dragon is our brand for the design and construction of weapons, armor and props oriented to LARP, Cosplay and film productions.

These are articles made of materials such as plastazote, evazote, resins and the like, used to give shape and substance to the wildest dreams of every designer or to reproduce objects not otherwise available because of fantasy.

It was born from the meeting between the Fucina del Drago and Black Forge, an artisan workshop that has been active for years in the LARP and Cosplay sector at national and international level which, in February 2020, joined forces in the common goal of expanding their work and their skills to offer them on a wider market also linked to film productions.

From this collaboration, projects related to TV series have been born that have benefited from years of experience and tests on materials, at the same time highlighting on the one hand the absolute reachable realism and on the other the possibility of truly shaping the imagination to give shape to things otherwise unattainable.

From the feedback obtained, the push that led us to strongly believe in this new project was born to the point of creating a brand dedicated only to this type of product.

A fundamental component of our work remains attentive listening to the customer and continuous contact in order to be certain not only of the achievement of the final result, but also and above all of full satisfaction: from this point of view it makes no difference that you are a live role player, a cosplayer or a film production company, we will still be able to accompany you from the preparatory sketch to the finished product in order to give you the most precise possible idea of ​​what we are making for you.
