Hybrid Orc Cleaver

Into the forgotten ruins you carefully tred, your Orc Cleaver grasped tight in your barbaric fist. The wind whips through the walls, cold and ruthless.

While there might be old traps and the danger of frostbite, you continue with no hint of fear. You are a brave northern warrior, and you’ve come to hunt down the elusive winter stag now hiding within these walls. You will slay it with your sword and bring it home to your people.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Orc Cleaver is a latex-hybrid long sword for the cruel orc or rustic barbarian. The sword has a chipped and battered single-edged blade.

With a rugged, sharp appearance, this Orc Cleaver is our highest quality gear due to its impressive durability and detail. The blade is made from closed cell foam around a fibreglass core and finished with a strong latex coating, while the handle is a polyurethane foam cast that allows for greater detail and no maintenance. This hybrid model sword will make you confident in the safety and appeal of your weapon on the battlefield.

INSPIRATION

• Earliest references to orcs are found in Old English and Anglo-Saxon sources, such as in Beowulf and in 16th century Italian folktales
• The word itself stems from the Latin word Orcus, which was the name given to the Roman deity of the dead
• 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

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

There are noblemen who favor the finesse of a fine sword. There are the peasants who favor the reach of a spear or pike. And then there are those, like you, who favor the sheer power of an axe.

PRODUCT TO BE DISCONTINUED 2019
The traditions of the tribe go back hundreds of years--maybe thousands. You aren’t certain, because it has never been written down. But you do know that as the shaman there are expectations made of you.

You wear an Azog Loincloth, a symbol of your status. Moving freely, you walk around the bonfire and tell the tales of your people to all those gathered.

“Slimy, conniving, dirty piece of goblin filth,” your prisoner barks at you as you and your buddies drag him up the mountain pass. You have fond memories of your mother calling you those words when you were just a welp, but you are tired of hearing the Adventurer make so much noise.

As you round a corner you pause to knock the annoying man unconscious. There. All better. Meals really shouldn’t talk so much.

DETAILS

Epic Effects’ Malicious Goblin Mask is a full Goblin Mask with a cruel and mischievous feel, repulsive to civilized people. This mask has a classic goblin's distinct features: a long pointed and slightly crooked nose with large nostrils, distinct pointed ears, and heavily textured skin. With multiple warts and moles as well as serrations, scars and marked furrows on the skull, this mask maintains a menacingly feel while also appearing realistic.

The mask is open at the mouth, displaying the wearer’s mouth and most of the chin. This leaves room for the wearer to speak and be heard properly, and allows a much larger range of expressions. The mask is made from thick 100% natural high-quality latex, making it strong and durable, ensuring long life and extended reuse. The mask is a large fit made with good room for breathing and ventilation, thus improving comfort with extended wear. The look and style of the mask can be modified by highlighting it with Epic Effects' Water Based Make-Up from event to event.

Available in size Medium.

Inspired by Filipino History

• A unique weapon unique to the southern Philippines

• The hilt was often made from hard narra wood and wrapped in braided rattan

Your steel demands blood!

You clench your Chaos Axe more firmly, the blood pumps faster through your veins as the high waves splash against your weathered face. Your kin laugh and relish the harsh seas as hostile terrain feels like home.

You glance up, one moment before taking a sharp breath, to war you go.

Never mind using your shield for guarding yourself – be practically offensive and use it to bash in your opponent’s grey matter instead! The Epic Armoury Orc Buckler is a small latex LARP shield worn around the wearer’s arm, inspired by the brutal and cataclysmal ways of orcs and other terrifying creatures. Use it to shield yourself against blows or simply use it as a mean to swiftly clear your way from any annoying goblinesque obstacles. The rough buckler is elongated with rounded corners; rugged and worn with dents and scratches, it sports a collection of golden riveted detailing on front. Featuring two sturdy bands with adjustable buckles to strap your arm securely against the underside, feel confident that this hard EVA foam and latex shield will withstand the continued abuse of a LARP with regular maintenance.

The buckler goes well with Epic Armoury’s Ruinous range of products, for instance the Orc Cleaver. However, its naturalistic design can be used by a wide range of characters such as trolls, ogre barbarians, or necromancers. With its unique detailing and natural look, you can make this Orc Buckler a trust-worthy central piece when crafting your character’s kit.

Product Description

Aradani Studios elf ears are considered by many as the best costume prosthetics in the world. These are hand-crafted in our home studio by the artists of Aradani with attention to detail and quality.

Not only do we hand make and inspect each set of ears, we try to use the highest quality materials we can find. Often on the road we are told our ears last for years of use, with some people coming back with the same ears after 6-7 years of wearing them! Using RMG make-ups (rubber mask grease paint), we are able to paint the ears to match a variety of skin tones. You can attach these ears with spirit gum or liquid latex (personally we recommend spirit gum). The seam lines can be blended with latex or hidden with the use of an ear cuff as shown in the picture.

Product Details

Size: 3 1/2 " from the inner-curve to tip. (adds approx. 2 1/2 " to the length of your ears)

Recommended Age: 5 and up.

Made of Costume Grade Latex and powdered with Hypoallergenic Baby Powder

Different Make-up Colors Available. Please note there are additional wait times for coloured ears.

Design: Paul and Michael Bielaczyc

These are handcrafted in our home studio, by the artists of Aradani, with attention to detail and quality. 

Aradani Studios was founded in 2002 by the Bielaczyc siblings, Michael, Paul and Sara. Their original intention was to work at the Tennessee Renaissance Festival as a part-time endeavor, a way for them to spend time together and have some fun selling artwork. So many people were interested in Paul's elven costume, particularly the pointed ears, that the they decided that they would add elf ears to the business. The following weekend, the Bielaczyc's began what Aradani Studios is best known for: hand-painting elf ears to blend in naturally with people's skin tone.

What began as a once a year activity for the brothers expanded in 2003 to include three Renaissance festivals and multiple conventions around the country. During this time, Aradani Studios carried a variety of other brands, but didn't manufacture any of their own products. However, with customers requesting custom prosthetics at every show, they decided it was time to expand.

Starting early in 2005, they began sculpting and producing their own line of prosthetics, by 2007, over 90% of the products they sold were created in house, made and manufactured in Nashville, Tennessee. Customers all over the world have enjoyed Aradani elf ears and masks.

Aside from latex prosthetics and jewelry, Michael and Paul Bielaczyc are acclaimed fantasy artists, winning awards all over the country and working for companies such as Dragonlance and Apex Digest. Their work can be seen in shows across the Southeast and various publications.

About Aradani's business practices:

We strive to bring the best quality costuming to our customers. We also try our best to have most things made in the United States (or if possible in fair trade commerce). 80% of our products are made in the U.S. , and 100% of the products we make are designed, built and manufactured here in the U.S.A. by workers who are paid a fair wage.

The Beastial Orc was never civilised. Whilst their green skinned cousins managed to form something of a society, there remained the wild ones. Baarely able to speak the black tongue, with no concept of anything other than kill or be killed, they were banished to the far flung edges of the world: The arctic, the darkest jungles and the deepest caves.

The again-walker's eyes were lit with balefire. It had died a hero, but had still been denied entry to the Valhall. It had been tasked with standing vigil inside the burial chambers in case the people of Eyri ever came returned to take back what had once been theirs. The only comfort to be found in its sluggish thoughts, as black as the skin of the draug itself, was that at least its sword could change size with it and slay even a fierce jotunn.

This Way Evil Comes

Epic Armoury’s Draug Sword is a medium latex LARP sword inspired by high-fantasy villains and undead creatures. The sword is 115 cm long and has a straight double-edged blade with two fullers. The 19cm wide crossguard is hand painted and textured to look like worn and chipped steel, embellished with a skeleton face cast in polyurethane foam. The matching pommel has a common ‘scent-stopper’ shape often seen throughout the middle ages. Much like a real sword, the grip also features a grooved and ergonomic shape, and is wrapped in a layer of dark leather.

Whether you are a necromancer or the dead come to life, this sword is offers incredible quality due to its durability and detail. The blade is made from EVA foam around a 10mm solid fibreglass core and finished with a strong latex coating, while the handle is a polyurethane foam cast that requires little maintenance. This next generation model sword is meant to last a lot longer than a typical latex LARP weapon--all without sacrificing the aesthetic you deserve.

Inspiration

• Draug is the Danish word for an undead creature from Norse mythology
• The draug were said to guard treasure inside burial mounds, and were incredibly strong
• It was said that a mean or greedy person could become a draug after they died
