Heavy Rogue Bracers

"There it is again! What was that!?" whispered Trema.

"You're being paranoid," responded Durgon "ain't nothing here but us, this treasure, and this large statue."

The statue waited until they past before flexing its arms again.

You watch the caravan coming up the road from far off, counting at least two guards and a handful of merchants. Only one of them is on horseback, with the cart pulled by a sad pair of mules.

You feel confident in your new Rogue Arm, smirking as you signal to your fellows who lie in the shadows. There may not be much to steal, but you and your mates will take it all.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Epic Dark Rogue Arm is a pair of vambraces featuring intimidating, pointed elbow couters. These vambraces protect the top of the forearm down to the wrist, secured by two comfortable leather straps. Rolled edges and small ridges around the rim further protect the elbow and arm, making it less likely that you would take a lucky strike from an enemy

The Rogue Arm is designed to match Epic Armoury’s Rogue Armour, but is fully usable with other Epic Armoury metal products, giving you the freedom to customize your character’s costume. Made of 1 mm thick galvanized mild steel and top-grain leather, this armour set is 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

The street is a hard place to conduct business, but it’s a way of life you’ve become very good at keeping. You have a reputation as one of the deadliest rogues in the city, with knife skills to rival even the King of Thieves. He’s actually a close friend of yours...he’s the one who gave you such fine Rogue Female Armour, after all.

Those who don’t know any better think you are simply a pretty face, and those poor ol’ saps usually don’t escape with coin left in their purse.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Rogue Female Armour is a leather cuirass designed to protect the upper female chest and neck while providing a flattering and dangerous look. The chestplate, shaped to the female body, is made from sturdy full-grain leather and covers the chest, collarbone, and under the arms. The armour’s fit is highly adjustable thanks to the canvas straps crossing beneath the shoulder blades and around the small of the back.

The leather chestpiece is embellished with canvas accents against the full-grain leather. The collar can be removed to give a different look or to fit other Epic Armoury leather and metal armour pieces. With regular leather care, you can expect the Rogue Female Armour to last a long time. While designed to fit a rogue, the style will also match a broad range of worlds and characters, allowing you the freedom to create your own unique style.

HISTORY

• Historically looked down upon as a form of armour, as metal was preferred
• Finely crafted leather cuirasses were often worn by high-ranking officers and officials, including several Roman Emperors

"Did you hear that? Like someone trying not to laugh?" asked Trema.
"Ain't no one here but the rats and mushrooms." Dorgen scoffed.
"With the correct training, one may walk silently even when coated in plates of metal." Trema responded with the rote learnings of the Rogue's guild. 
"Yeah yeah... When you have attained this level, then the Armour of the Rogue is truly for you. Until then hide in the shadows and strike from behind cover." Dorgen said sarcastically to Trema as they passed another one of those incredibly lifelike statues.

The Statue waited for them to pass before withdrawing into the shadows.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Rogue Neck and Shoulders is an articulated set of armour designed to provide protection for the neck, shoulders, upper arms and chest. The armour is a six-piece set: a two piece gorget, two shoulders, and two upper arm guards. The gorget covers the thorax to the sternum and is furnished with both metal and leather. The gorget and shoulders are attached with top-grain leather straps and a strong cord. In addition, a strong leather strap is adjusted around the chest.

The shoulders are composed of pauldrons and arm guards covering the shoulder-joint and upper arms. The top of the pauldron scoops upward, creating a ridge meant to deflect blows. The shoulder plates are strapped on at the gorget and connect to the upper arm plate, which is secured around the biceps with an adjustable leather strap.

The Rogue Neck and Shoulders is made from top-grain leather and galvanized mild steel with rolled edges that form ridges around the rims. The design is inspired by assassins and rogues, but the style and functionality is fully interchangeable with other Epic Armoury armours, allowing freedom to combine armours and customize a character’s looks to fit your needs.

They approached the entrace to the abandoned temple. Treme casting his glance at the incredibly lifelike statue that stood at the gate.
Too life like. Like its eyes were following him. But that was ridiculous. No one had been here in years and any magics would have long since wickered away.
No, there couldn't be anyone here. The only person that even knew this place existed was the strange man at the tavern that seemed far too emotionally attached to his obviously fake beard and heavy, clanky, armour.

You watch the caravan coming up the road from far off, counting at least two guards and a handful of merchants. Only one of them is on horseback, with the cart pulled by a sad pair of mules.

You feel confident in your new Rogue Torso armour, smirking as you signal to your fellows who lie in the shadows. There may not be much to steal, but you and your mates will take it all.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Epic Dark Rogue Torso is a cuirass made from leather and steel. This breastplate circles the neck in a narrow U-shape, with the steel chest protecting the thorax before sloping around the ribcage to protect under the arms. The steel plate is fitted on brown leather using heavy-duty rivets, and is secured using straps around the back and across the shoulderblades. The lower edge of the breast plate rounds to fit against the crest of the hips, dipping down into a point at the front. This design is mimicked by the overlapped leather plate, which also serves as an anchor for the Rogue Tassets.

The Rogue Torso is designed to match Epic Armoury’s Rogue Armour, but is fully usable with other Epic Armoury metal products, giving you the freedom to customize your character’s costume. Made of 1 mm thick galvanized mild steel and top-grain leather, this armour piece is built to withstand the abuse of a LARP or reenactment with regular leather and metal armour care.

"That sound! What was that!?" whispered Trema.

"You're being paranoid," responded Durgon "ain't nothing here but us."

The statue waited until they past before sinking back into the dark and watching them.

You have commissioned a leather crafter to create a pair of Samurai Bracers for you. Before she is paid you want to be certain it is properly made armour, and so you conduct a test. With the bracers properly tied to your arm, you perform a series of sword drills, faster than the eye can properly see.

The bracers are perfect.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Samurai Bracers are a set of leather vambraces designed to protect the forearms and hands in combat. Made from full-grain leather, these bracers have been sculpted to comfortably follow the shape of the arms. The leather has been hardened and the edges curved to add structural strength that will ensure added protection and longevity.

Inspired by Asian traditional armour, these bracers are perfectly matched with other products from Epic Armoury’s Asian Universe.

HISTORY

Conveniently placed eyelets can be used to attach the couter firmly to a gambeson or shirt. With regular leather and metal care you can expect this quality made armour to last for a long time!
