Looking like a noble is all about the flair. You can own an entire city, but without the proper attire no one would be the wiser.

You mark your status with the finest cape in town. It is soft to the touch with a fine embroidered trim that took your personal seamstress weeks to create. The Aramis Cape sits so perfectly upon your perfectly tailored shirts, you may very well order two or three more...because you obviously can’t be seen wearing the same color two days in a row.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Epic Black Cape Aramis is a hip-length caplet with a high collar and decorative cord fastening. The design is meant to offer a top layer of glamour that can be worn over one or both shoulders. Made from black cotton and cut to include extra billowing fabric, this cape is embellished with a detailed gold and black trim. Its fine appearance makes for a great accessory for a variety of Renaissance or fantasy costumes, especially nobility or musketeers.

The Cape Aramis is an elegant cut with three slits for the arms to slide through depending on how it is worn. Secure the cape around the neck or across the chest by tying the long satin cord.

HISTORY

• This style of cape was particularly popular during the Elisabethan period in Europe
• Considered to be a form of fencing cape, freeing the hand to use a rapier

You’ve done it. You’ve finally earned the title of a King’s Guard, charged with personally defending the king. The honor was bestowed upon you for the countless hours training, sweating and bleeding to become one of the best soldiers in the kingdom.

Naturally this means that you’ve been granted a Kingsguard Halberd, a mark of your station. With a gleaming, matching set of armour, you stand proud by His Majesty’s throne.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Kingsguard Halberd is a 190 cm latex poleaxe inspired by a weapon commonly used during the late medieval period. The Kingsguard Halberd’s axe-like head has a 47 cm blade for chopping, a long spear for piercing, and a claw-like spike for grappling. The axe-head is hand painted and sculpted to appear realistic, detailed with golden carved vines to give it a rich, royal appearance.

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

HISTORY

• Prominent during the 14th- and 15th centuries
• Term comes from the German words Halm (staff) and Barte (axe)
• Typically designed to keep mounted troops at a distance, but was considered versatile
• Spikes were added to the polearm's head to grapple mounted opponents

MASTERS OF SKULDUGGERY

Epic Armoury’s Landsknecht Rondel is a solid 46 cm. dagger inspired by the mercenary Landsknechts of the Hansa State era. Whether your LARP-character is a conniving scoundrel who's trade is skulduggery & espionage or simply just a rogue on the run, this dagger is for you. It features a 28 cm. blade with a central ridge and a fine wood-like handle protected by a cross guard in the shape of a twisted bronze ring. The bronze coloured pommel is rounded, designed as a basic interpretation of a knight’s “rondel dagger”. When fighting enemies close-quarter in heavy plate armour, daggers like this would have been used to force between the joints.

Special care has been taken to ensure that our LARP weapons are safe. This dagger was constructed around a solid fibreglass rod core and a flexible kevlar tip to prevent punctures. Its latex finish requires some maintenance to maximize its use and your wellbeing.

HISTORY

• The German ‘Landsknechts’ were feared soldiers on 16th Century battlefields and had a reputation for remorceless violence
• It was said that the devil refused to let Landsknechts into hell, because he was so afraid of them

There are stories being told about you amongst the people. You are the viking who has slain over a thousand men. You put fear in your enemies with just a glance. Your aura of darkness freezes the hearts of anyone who looks you in the eye. And your favorite? Someone is saying you made a deal with a devil so that you may never die.

You will never tell them which might be true. Instead, as you sit in camp and wash the blood from your Norman Nasal Helmet, you simply listen...and smirk.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Norman Nasal Helmet is a conical skull cap offering basic protection to the head and face. Inspired by the historical helmets worn during the majority of the middle ages, the Norman Nasal Helmet features a decorated nasal plate which runs from the forehead down over the bridge of the wearer’s nose. A ridge runs along the cap to give the helmet additional reinforcement while on the battlefield.

Secure the Norman Nasal 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

• Type of helmet was worn during most of the middle ages
• Nasal helmets would evolve into the great helm
• Metal strip along the nose was designed to protect the face
• Typically worn with a mail coif to protect the neck and cheeks

A knife for war you say, boy? The Germans have a word for that...

Your Kriegsmesser cuts down another goblin, leaving him in a pile of his buddies. They miscalculated your massive strength, and are reeling backwards on the retreat. They have learned too late that attacking your group in the night would mean death. It’s too bad they won’t be able to share the word with their kin.

You adjust your shortsword, letting out a battle cry of rage as another goblin aims for your ankles. This one goes flying into several different places.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Kriegsmesser is a latex shortsword inspired by the mercenary Landsknechts of the Renaissance era. The 40 cm single-edged blade is slim with a 22 cm long fuller running along the ridge. An angular crossguard and seashell-shaped nagel provides additional protection to the 12 cm handle, which is ergonomically shaped and wrapped in split-leather for superior comfort.

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

• Also referred to as a War Knife
• Originated in Germany, and is mentioned in Renaissance fencing manuals such as the Codex Wallenstein
• Used with a buckler, or as a backup weapon for mercenaries locking spears or greatswords with one another
