Gut Plate

FEAR THE RUTHLESS SAVAGES!

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.

You are laughing too loud. You realize it must be scaring your enemy, because no one wants to face you on the frontline anymore. They think you are crazed. Maybe you are, because the adrenaline of being in a battle has left you feeling drunk with exhilaration.

If no one will come to you, it’s time to bring the fight to them! One poor soldier desperately strikes at you and you feel the thud of his sword against your Viking Leg Protection, but it hardly makes a scratch. You see the terror in his eyes as your laugh fills the field and you bring the strength of your axe down upon him.

You are Raynor Ironshood. Let them fear you. Let them all fear you.

It’s been a long and tiring day in the brutal cold. You’ve suffered through a mighty battle, and saw several of your comrades fall on a bloody field. As you finally return to your camp, shivering despite your many layers, you reach for your Thermos Holder and pull back the cap to drink the hot brew.

Your Thermos Holder has kept your beverage hot, and you are glad for the reprieve. With gratitude you sit beneath the protection of your tent, slowly regaining your strength and vigor.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Thermos Holder is a leather-clad bottle designed for carrying refreshments without breaking character. The full-grain leather is dyed and cut to give it a neutral appearance while also being extremely durable, making this a perfect addition to any multitude of characters. With the correct leather care, you can expect it to withstand the abuse of heavy use. Easily carry this holder with you by using the adjustable leather strap over your shoulder. The strap has 16 punched holes and is 140 cm long measured to the middle hole to accommodate your height.

Store 1000 ml (or approximately 33.8 US fluid ounces) of hot or cold liquid inside the insulated steel bottle with a dual-function lid hidden beneath the leather flip lid, perfect for a drink or soup. When you need to clean the thermos between uses, simply pull it from the leather’s top.
