Ripper Chainsword

You’re not very good with a gun. Missing an eye, your aim is terrible! That’s why you rely instead on your Ripper Chainsaw.

This recycled masterpiece keeps all of your enemies at bay--with just one clean sweep you’re free to be on your way (regardless of whether or not you can see the path).

DETAILS

The Dark Moon Ripper Chainsword is a 60 cm LARP weapon crafted to look like a modified chainsaw welded inside a sword casing. We all know that when the world ends, you’ve got to get creative with your weapons! The one-handed handle is shaped and painted to look like coiled metal, accommodating a firm, comfortable grip, protected by a dangerously bladed handguard.

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 for your post-apocalyptic inspired kit.

INSPIRATION

• An example of a weapon you might find after the world-as-we-know-it ends
• Designed with the understanding that even a cool zombie-killing chainsaw eventually runs out of gas--but can still be very useful
• Used as protection when you’ve inevitably run out of bullets for your gun

As you infiltrate the city, you pass by the gates completely unnoticed in your Altair Cowl. Had the guards known your intentions, you’d be hunted as a killer. Thankfully today no one knows that you have such a mission.

You find your target as he enters his hideout, two of his guards at his side. There might be a way to get inside without detection--and that’s when you spot the open window on the third floor. That won’t be too difficult to reach. Not for a skilled assassin such as you.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Cowl Altair is a shawl and hood for the most skilled rogues. Reaching from the shoulders to the ankles and made from soft, dyed cotton, this cowl is a fantastic layer to add to your costume. Move around crowded cities easily thanks to the attached hood, or wear it nonchalantly around the shoulders. Designed to look mysterious and sleek, the cowl is cut and sewn to sit comfortably while maintaining its shape.

When you need to soar like an eagle, or become a blade in the crowd, the Altair Cowl is perfect for your subtle needs. Secure the Cowl Altair by draping it around your shoulders--add a pin to keep in place.

INSPIRATION

• Style is inspired by the Assassin’s Creed video game series’ main characters
• Designed to fit multiple time periods when paired with other products

The vast wastelands are dangerous, and so you are armed to the teeth. Guns, knives, and even a chainsaw are kept handy should the specific need arise to use them. Your favourite, however, is your Riot Shield.

The large piece of metal is practically indestructible. It’s a tried and true way of protecting yourself from your enemies, and the reason you will survive while others might not.

DETAILS

Dark Moon’s Riot Sheild is a realistic looking latex shield used by riot police, designed to be used against raider bullets and zombie claws alike. The Riot Shield is sculpted and handpainted to look like metal, heavily damaged in combat. A white stenciled ‘375 DM’ decorates the front of this matte-coloured shield, just below the covered slit that allows you to orient yourself on the battlefield while remaining protected.

Wear this Riot Shield left- or right-handed with the use of four versatile leather arm straps on the back. Feel confident that this hard EVA foam and latex shield will withstand the continued abuse of a LARP with regular latex maintenance.

HISTORY

• Riot shields are typically used by police and military
• Designed to protect the head to the knees
• This particular style is similar to a Body Bunker used by SWAT teams

Perfect for Logical Alien Types and their not so nice cousins.

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! 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: 2 " from the inner-curve to tip. (adds approx. 1 " 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 trick is never to stay in one place for too long. Inevitably the undead will sniff you out of your hiding hole, and you’ll find yourself cornered by an endless sea of flesh-hungry abominations. Unfortunately, while you’re on the move, your last encounter emptied the last of your bullets. With an empty gun you’re defenseless.

You take refuge in an abandoned garage, looking for a new weapon. That’s when you spot the old chainsaw. You have a brilliant idea, and to your relief there’s enough gas in a discarded blowtorch for the job you have in mind.

Ladies and gentlemen? Introducing the Chain Sword.

DETAILS

The Dark Moon Chain Sword features a 75 cm blade crafted to look like remnants of a recycled chainsaw. We all know that when the world ends, you’ve got to get creative with your weapons! The 16 cm handle is wrapped in soft leather and is protected beneath an urban handguard, accommodating a firm, comfortable grip, so you won’t lose your weapon while cutting through a horde of zombies.

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 for your post-apocalyptic inspired kit.
