Long Battle Scythe

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.

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.

There's a few ways to make sure your safe on the Dead Islands. One of the most effective combinations is having that bit of extra reach when you cut the Walkers' legs out from under them. Once they're unable to stay upright, they're much easier to deal with. But always make sure you're working in pairs.

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.

“The arrows were flying through the air in clouds thick enough to block out the sun, but it was clear that the archers could not stop the onslaught. It fell to Sergeant Martin and his men to stop the charge. They had practised this hundreds of times. They knew exactly how to hold the long-handled weapon, angle it for maximum effect against the attackers, and even disarm them. This time, though, they would kill. Martin moved his partisan into position and shouted for his men to do the same. As the cavalry charged into their ranks, the polearm bucked like a wild bull stung by a bee. He and his men would hold.”

Epic Armoury's Ox-Tongue Partisan is inspired by European infantry's spears and polearms during the 16th through 18th centuries, where they were used to fend off cavalry attacks and parry or disarm their swords.
It comes in two parts that use a threaded bolt system to reach the full length, though, if the bolt is covered, it could also be used as a smaller weapon. The double-sided spearhead and the long shaft have been sculpted and painted to look like real wood, while small metallic details complete the look of a real weapon. The closed cell foam sits around a fibreglass core, which is covered in a strong latex coating and gives you a durable weapon.
