NO GUTS NO GLORY!

The Barbarian hordes were no strangers to use fear as a weapon, and the more intimidating you looked when engaging in battle, the better. Replicate that wild and savage look, doing the Barbarian style proud with Epic Armoury's Gut Plate. The Gut Plate features plating made from three ridged steel plates--or lames--overlaying one another and a central plate to provide laminate protection of the gut. The vegetable tanned leather belt is made from two smaller, embossed leather belts slipped through a wide brace, providing a secure fit that will remain fixed over your costume. Fasten the belt by securing its two belt tongues, locked in place by two square brass belt buckles and show off an appearance that is worthy not only of barbarians, but of all Nomadic Horse Warriors, Vikings or Norsemen who might want a good piece of armour to protect their soft spot, when they go out pillaging and raiding.

HISTORY

• Some Barbarian tribes were known for showing up naked on the battlefield to intimidate their enemies

You admire the Viking Spear that belonged to your father. The great warrior sailed his last voyage, but your brethren still managed to bring back his weapon specially for you. For that, at least, you are grateful.

Looking down upon the sharpened, freshly cleaned steel, you wonder what this spear has seen. Carried on countless travels, this spear may have shed blood raiding the English coast, been tarnished under the sun of Spain, and used in defense of Miklagard.

One day you will add to its story.
