Gothic Axe

You can’t choose which of your weapons you would like to be holding in your latest portrait. The artist you’ve hired is one of the best, and so you want to look your utmost--and that means picking the perfect weapon to match your gleaming suit of plate.

Your eyes fix upon your Gothic Axe. At once you know it to be exactly what you were looking for! Rich in appearance, but sharp and effective. It will go nicely.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Gothic Axe is a deadly 90 cm axe designed for noble hands. It has an axe-blade with a 28 cm blade, and also features both a curved claw and spike for versatile fighting. The head is hand painted to look like real metal embellished with riveted brass bands, although it is made of soft foam. The bladed head attaches to the shaft which is hand painted and sculpted to look like matching metal.

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

An axe or a mace maybe?

The one time a sugared loaf will actually protect your teeth!

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 Sugar Loaf helmet 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 Sugar Loaf Helmet is an enclosed helmet inspired by the traditional knight’s armour. Enclosing the entire head and offering maximum protection, this helmet is reinforced with rivets, rolled steel and a curved apex. Ventilation holes and a cotton inlay are added to the helmet to improve airflow and comfort. The eye-slits are wide and slim, increasing protection but impairing visibility.

Secure the Sugar Loaf 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

• Evolved from the great helm, and greatly favoured by knights
• Also referred to as a yelmo de Zaragoza
• Usually worn with a mail coif and padded cap underneath

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Gothic Gorget & Shoulders is fully articulated and designed to provide protection for the throat, neck and shoulders while minimizing the exposure of weak-spots. The armour is a four-piece set: a two piece gorget and two shoulders. The gorget covers the thorax to the sternum and is furnished with several ridges and two large octagonal besagues (round metal shields) to protect the notoriously under-armoured armpits from arrow-strikes. The two parts are fitted together with vegetable tanned top-grain leather straps. The gorget also provides fastenings for the shoulders. The shoulders are composed of articulated spaulders covering the shoulder-joint and upper arms, reinforced with large pauldrons sculpted to look like dragon’s wings to further protect the armpits. The shoulder plates are strapped on at the gorget and around the upper arms.

The Gothic Arm Protection is made from mild steel with rolled edges that form ridges around the rims. The design is historically inspired by the renaissance, but the style and functionality is fully interchangeable with other Epic Armoury armours, allowing freedom to combine armours and customize a character’s looks to fit your needs.

HISTORY

• Gothic style historically developed in the 1420-1440s thanks to technological advances
• Characterized by the curves, flutes and ridges, which strengthened the armour and deflected projectiles

Your blacksmith assured you that the Gauntlets’ design was the latest in technology, able to withstand and deflect attacks--even the worst of slashes to make it beyond your sword’s crossguard.

DETAILS

These bestselling Epic Armoury Gauntlets are a set of early renaissance articulated steel gloves designed to provide maximal protection in combat without compromising manoeuvrability. From fingers to the forearm, you can expect these gauntlets to keep you safe. Each gauntlet protects the fingers, covering them to the tips with overlapping metal plates. The knuckles are protected by a rigid, sculpted knuckle plate. A short vambrace protects the wrist halfway up the forearm. The back of the hand and the thumb are protected with finely fitted overlapping steel plates decorated with shiny metal rivets.

The steel is fitted onto a flexible leather foundation and the gauntlet is worn via a leather glove underneath. The fingers of the glove are sewn onto the steel protection, with adjustable leather straps under the knuckles and at the wrist to secure the gauntlet onto the hand.

Made from polished mild steel with rolled edges, these gauntlets are impressive but neutral in appearance and fully interchangeable with other Epic Armoury armours.

HISTORY

• Various forms of gauntlets have been around for millennia, but reached a pinnacle during the early renaissance
• Historically used by soldiers and knights and considered an essential piece of armour

As the world was coming to what seemed like its end, there was not much survivors could still rely on. Food was scarce, safe shelter hard to find, and trusted partners were a long forgotten fantasy. The only remaining thing that could be trusted was the lumbering horde chasing everything and anything still moving.

As he was climbing the steps of this old building, he heard wild noises erupting in the room he just left. He had been followed, he had been found. And he didn't have anything to fight with. That was until his gaze went to his left, to a wooden case with a glass panel at the front. Through the dirt and gore caking it, he could make out the words "In case of emergency break the glass".

Getting his prize out of its long resting place, he realized there was something else that could be relied on: A good ol' fireman axe.
