Take the field. Steal the scene.

A figure steps into the fray — a glint of polished steel flashing between stripes of bold fabric, faulds swaying with every confident stride. The Landsknecht Cuirass is more than protection; it’s presence. Inspired by the flamboyant mercenaries of the 16th-century Holy Roman Empire, this torso armour captures the commanding energy and lavish bravado that made the Landsknechts infamous across Europe. Equal parts soldier and spectacle, their battlefield fashion became legend — and now, so can yours.
Designed for the warrior who refuses to go unnoticed, this cuirass features a sculpted breastplate and backplate that embrace the body’s form, deflecting strikes while allowing a natural range of motion. The segmented faulds and tassets, included with the cuirass, are fully articulated, granting mobility without sacrificing protection. They hang from the torso in overlapping layers, moving with a fluidity that adds grace to every step and menace to every advance.
Whether you’re marching under imperial colours, leading a free company of mercenaries, or portraying a high-ranking officer in a fantasy kingdom, the Landsknecht Cuirass offers a rich blend of historical design and theatrical expression. The silhouette is bold, the profile unmistakable — a perfect centrepiece for characters of rank, pride, or ambition.
The armour is secured using sturdy adjustable leather straps, offering a flexible fit for various body types when worn over a gambeson or padded garment. The modular design also allows for pairing with matching spaulders, arm guards, or greaves, making it a versatile foundation for both complete suits and mix-and-match character builds.

Features:

Includes both faulds and tassets for full torso and upper leg coverage
Historical inspiration drawn from flamboyant 16th-century Landsknecht mercenaries
Crafted from durable 1 mm steel, ideal for LARP, stage, and re-enactment
Two finishes available: Polished Steel and Epic Dark
Adjustable leather straps and buckles for a secure, comfortable fit
Articulated design allows fluid movement during combat or performance
Compatible with a wide range of Epic Armoury plate elements

The Landsknecht Cuirass is for those who don’t just play a part — they command it. Whether you wear it to lead an army, impress a crowd, or simply to walk into camp with undeniable swagger, this is armour that speaks before you do.

Landsknecht Armour Bundle

Steel with swagger. Discipline with drama.

The Complete Landsknecht Armour Set is a full upper-body harness forged for those who fight with flair and lead from the front. Inspired by the bold and notoriously flamboyant mercenary companies of the 16th century, this set delivers both battlefield presence and reliable protection — equally suited for LARP campaigns, reenactment displays, or the intensity of the theatre stage.
This is armour that doesn’t just shield the body — it defines the character. From the commanding line of the breastplate to the rhythmic layering of articulated steel, every piece has been designed to move with purpose and leave a lasting impression. Whether you're portraying a captain of fortune, a noble officer, or a war-weary veteran, this harness carries weight in both style and story.
At the heart of the set is the Landsknecht Cuirass, a robust torso plate that wraps the chest and back with clean lines and reinforced shaping. It includes integrated faulds and tassets, protecting the lower torso and hips while echoing the layered silhouette that made Landsknecht fashion so iconic.
Guarding the neck is the Landsknecht Gorget, built with three articulated lames that rise to cover the throat and a hidden rear plate that protects the spine and ensures balance across the shoulders. This smart construction helps anchor the armour securely in place, even during long hours of wear.
The Landsknecht Spaulders add sculptural drama to the upper body, with four cascading lames that allow full shoulder rotation and besagews to shield the armpits — combining visual flair with essential function. These are matched by the Landsknecht Vambraces, a full set of articulated arm guards that cover the upper arms, elbows, and forearms with fluid protection that moves as naturally as the warrior inside it.

Each piece is forged from 1 mm steel, offering a strong yet lightweight build that allows for agility on the field and comfort during prolonged wear. Fastened with leather straps and brass buckles, the entire set is designed for easy adjustment over gambesons, arming coats, or stage costumes.

Whether you're building a complete historical ensemble or layering it into a custom fantasy kit, the Landsknecht Armour Set offers the perfect fusion of character, comfort, and commanding presence.

Landsknecht Cuirass (with faulds and tassets)
