Warlord Sword

“He died before hitting the ground. Mere moments ago, he had been the predator chasing me as I scrambled over my fallen comrades on the battlefield. However, as if the Allfather himself had led my hand to find this lonely sword, our positions had suddenly reversed. As I stood victorious in a hurricane of death, I noticed it was carefully ornamented and made for our jarl. His time as a warlord had ended – and mine had begun.”

The Warlord Sword from Epic Armoury is part of our hybrid range. The blade is designed with a double fuller and comprises a fibreglass core embedded in closed-cell ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) foam coated with pigmented latex. The handle is made of polyurethane (PU) foam and features imitated gold and silver ornamentations loosely inspired by Nordic art from the Scandinavian Viking Age. Thus the sword fits exceedingly well in settings inspired by this historical period. Designwise, the Viking Sword is a fine alternative, also available in a battle-worn version, but if you seek an authentic design based on a real find, we recommend the EirikR Sword instead.

You are laughing too loud. You realize it must be scaring your enemy, because no one wants to face you on the frontline anymore. They think you are crazed. Maybe you are, because the adrenaline of being in a battle has left you feeling drunk with exhilaration.

If no one will come to you, it’s time to bring the fight to them! One poor soldier desperately strikes at you and you feel the thud of his sword against your armour, but it hardly makes a scratch. You see the terror in his eyes as your laugh fills the field and you bring the strength of your Viking Short Axe down upon him.

You are Raynor Ironshood. Let them fear you. Let them all fear you.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s new improved version of the bestselling Viking Short Axe is reinforced to make it even more durable. The axe-head has a 18 cm edge and a golden embellishment that matches the pommel. The handle is 45 cm long and carved to look like rough wood grain without a specific grip, encouraging the user to make use of the axe’s versatile design.

Neutral in style and manoeuvrable enough to be used with almost any other product in the Epic Armoury collection, this latex axe is the perfect addition to any character--particularly a Viking or Dwarf. 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.

Lothar's jaw was set in grim determination. As one of the King's elite guardsmen he had a duty to protect the Queen and the royal heir. He thought proudly to himself on how the filthy Orcs would not get past him. Sadly, he was facing outward into the hallway when the assassin slipped through the window.

Shield Bash!

Your shield sends a goblin clear off his feet, landing in a pile of his buddies. They miscalculated your massive strength, and are reeling backwards on the retreat. So much for supposed alliances--you can feel the goblin blood soaked clear down to your Tunic. They have learned too late that betraying an Orc of the Black Water would mean death. It’s too bad they won’t be able to share the word with their kin.

You adjust your great shield, letting out a battle cry of rage as another goblin aims for your ankles. Shield Bash. This one goes flying another fifteen paces.
