Faulds & Tassets – Dark

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.

Your armour is as dark as your intentions, hardened by the evil magic your subjects provide. As you withdraw your sword, sizing up the quivering soldier who feels brave enough to stand against you, you begin to laugh. This will be a very brief fight--if you can even call it that. The little man looks barely strong enough to hold up his hammer.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Epic Dark Faults and Tassets are designed to protect the waist, hip and upper thigh from attacks that might leave you off balance, wounded, and vulnerable while on the battlefield. Don’t be an easy target for archers and rogues! This armour limits your weak spots without limiting your mobility thanks to the articulation of its bottom plate. Secured with two adjustable leather straps over the shoulders and another around the waist, these Faults and Tassets are designed to be comfortable for almost any size.

Made of 1 mm thick mild steel and top-grain leather belt. Straps are made in canvas for easier adjustments and lighter weight. Plating are oxidation resistant coated armour pieces built to withstand the abuse of a LARP or reenactment with regular leather and metal armour care.

HISTORY

• Plate armour became more popular as firearm technology became more prevalent during the 13th century
• Historically designed with sculpted ridges and overlapping plates to provide reinforced protection and to deflect attacks on a chaotic battlefield
