Your Long Yari was handed to you by your master many years ago. It was a bittersweet moment for you, because while it meant you overcame all obstacles in your training, it also meant it was time to set out on your own.

You find the handle comforting, your hand finding its usual well-worn grip. You look beyond the campfire where a fresh fish now cooks, sizzling in the heat, looking to the flickering shadows along the treeline. You have the sense that tonight you and your spear may once again be tested as you hear the unmistakable snap of a twig, your grip tightening in anticipation.

Though the King’s Guard usually protected the king in the throne room and beyond, a detachment was sometimes sent to reinforce the battle line. Kurt’s command was one of these detachments. He could smell the enemy from here. A sickly rotten smell, like a deer carcass on a hot summer day, mixed with the smell of steel. He looked sternly at his men as they were lining up for battle and shouted, “Stand to!!” Hearing his words, the men closed the ranks and held their weapons. “Advance! For king and country!”

Epic Armoury's Long Kingsguard Halberd, also known as the Long Imperial Halberd, is a 220cm long halberd, such as those used in the late Middle Ages.
It has a spearhead for taking on cavalry, an axe blade for slashing at enemy footsolders and taking out cavalry that'd been dismounted, and a spike for removing shields and disarming opponents. It is made with a fibreglass core, around which there is a durable closed-cell foam, finished off with a strong latex coating. This ensures the safety, durability and appearance of your weapon.
The Halberd comes in two parts that connect via a threaded bolt system, and you can use the upper part as a shorter weapon. If you do, make sure you cover the bolt before use.

In the twilight of their years, stories of the two guardsmen were recounted with reverence. One had become the city's stalwart protector, the other a folk hero to the downtrodden. Their legacies were as different as the paths they chose, yet both were carved from the same unwavering conviction that had defined their first day in uniform beneath the city's watchful walls.

Gaze at the Long Battle Scythe, an instrument of war born from the fields of toil. With a shaft graced by grooves and a hue that resembles the authenticity of wood, this 240 cm latex polearm echoes the ingenuity of yesteryears' farmers turned warriors. The scythe's curved blade, emulates the grim harvester's tool repurposed for combat. This weapon unites two parts through a threaded bolt system, versatile enough to be wielded as a shorter armament, though make sure to shroud the bolt in protective materials. Tracing its lineage from the hands of ancient Greeks to the Polish soldiers of the Silesian Uprisings, this scythe, more than a mere weapon, is a chronicle of the commoner's valour in the theatre of war.

A redoubtable weapon in short or long range. This magnificent model is inspired by the tradition Dark elves, with its representation of the goddess Loth with a spider.

• A bigger frame for added toughness
• Sturdy and flexible reinforcements throughout the length of the weapon
• A genuine leather covered laminated wood handle
• One year limited warranty against workmanship defects
