Black Templar Shield

"Oi! Where'd everybody go?" demanded Eric as he wandered the now empty great hall. It had been filled with carousing knights not 20 minutes ago when he went to the latrine. The king had been making some sort of speech about taking the fight to Apostates and glory. He rounded on the terrified servant who was doing her best to start clearing table scraps before the dogs realised that the humans were done.

"I know not, m'lord. They all shouted something about a juice vault??"

Designed to be the maximum allowable size under the Swordcraft rules set, this shield has the Epic Armoury tri-position grip to allow you to hold it no matter what style of shield bearer you need to be.

You have traveled an impossible distance in search of the dragon’s lair, and now you stand before its entrance. You can feel the heat radiating from inside and smell the sulfur. This will be the greatest battle of your life.

You pull your Crusader sword from its sheath and continue forward to meet your destiny. Whether you succeed or fail, you will go forth with the confidence of a seasoned knight.

Almost all LARP weapons are made from a foam that is then covered in a plasticised acrylic-latex paint. If not maintained, this paint eventually dries out and can flake or crack. To avoid, a silicon outer coat is applied to all weapons but is slowly worn off as the weapon strikes other weapons, shields and armour. Maintenance spray ensures your weapons are kept in the best condition possible by reinforcing this silicon layer and keeping the PAX paint underneath it moist and supple.
It should be applied after every combat, or at least once a month.

Available in 150ml or 400ml spray packs, and a 250ml pump pack.

Their life's blood flowed down the fuller of the blade. He could do naught but be mesmerised by the deep crimson hue of it. The colour of the sweet berries he had had as a care free child in the summers of his youth, so far away from this so called Holy Land. Oh, and how sweet the juice from those berries had been when they were finely crushed and sieved, to be stored away in the town's Juice Vault.

There are wars worth fighting for in this world, meant to defend the righteous and serve true justice. As you prepare your armour and your horse for the journey, you believe you are setting off to join such a war. Your god supports the cause.

Your family is tearful as they say goodbye, watching as you place your Crusader Helmet upon your head before mounting your horse. With a wave you are on the road, their mournful faces behind you as you ride toward your devout purpose.

Your Knight’s Code is one of valor, truth, and courage. You are tasked with defending the innocent and the weak, and today your oath is being tested. Outside of town there has been a bandit attack on a merchant and his family, and it’s up to you to rescue them.

Your squire straps your Knight Shield tight onto your arm over the weight of your chainmail, and with a prayer to your God you and your small unit strike out onto the road. The sword upon your shield is a reminder that you are a weapon of justice.

Criminals be warned.

Intimidation. It’s your main form of weaponry while facing the heroes, because it gives you full control. When your enemies fear you, they are more likely to make fatal mistakes. As a battle necromancer, your Imperial Shield serves as a focus in order to cast the most formidable spells. Your fingers wrap tightly around the shield’s handle, and the skull on its face grows hot as it fills with potent magic.

The Imperial Shield gives you the ability to wield more power, weaving together complex spells beyond your normal grasp. With the help of this focus, you are victorious--even over death.

The Blackguard Knights stood in fearsome formation at the top of the hill, waiting for the spawn of Chaos to make their way to their position. They knew nothing but courage as their defences were perfect.

The Black Knight Shield  is Epic Armoury's offering for those that need a large shield, but also want to have a surface to customise to their team's or character's exacting requirements.

"General, what do we do? Our Knights are outnumbered!" Kurtz cried, staggering under the blow of another Chaos warrior's axe.

"Then we hold and wait for the auxilliaries, or die trying!" Roared back the general, as he struck another foe down with his hammer.

"I feel lied to, Alan!" Samuel yelled as another arrow pinged off the wide brim of his helm

"Not much for it now. It's not like we can stop halfway through and enjoy a slice of orange and a mug of water, is HAAAA!"

They both stared at the quivering shaft that now protruded from Alan's chainmail. The links were completely useless against the bodkin heads. The soldier sagged to his knees amoung the muck of the churned earth and fallen bodies, tears in his eyes as he grasped at the wood piercing him. Samuel rushed ot his side, grabbing Alan's wrists.

"No, you fool! You remove that and you'll just bleed out." He dropped to be level with Alan, both men in the mud as the battle raged on about both men. The din of the battle, it's clanging steel and screaming men faded away for Samuel as he held onto his brother-in-arms. 

"You were lied to, S-Sammy," Alan gasped "We... we were never..." 

Alan coughed blood as he whispered his last "Never going to make it to the...to the juice vault..."

The servant had taken Eric down to the larder where the press stood unused. The wood polished smooth from years of crushing fruits into various juices. But the room it was situated in was hardly a vault.
Eric stroked his chin as considered "Where do you think they could have gone?"

"I know not m'lord." opined the servant "Perhaps they went to get fresh oranges from the Holy Lands?"
