SOFCOMBAT VIKING SHIELD

The Jarl has called upon the Great Dummies, rallying the clans. From all sides, your countrymen have gathered on the historic island to hear the words of their greatest warrior king.

You have joined them, packing lightly, knowing that the sea will give you the reward you need. For the wind, rain, and cold, you need only your oilskins, beard, and your durable Viking Shield. Unlike the others with their pretentious engravings and bold emblems, you choose a quieter route, carrying your family crest with you and making sure it defends you. The shield has served you for years, and it will serve you until your final moment of glory on the battlefield.

DETAILS

The Viking Shield from Epic Armoury is a 80cm round latex shield inspired by Vikings and Saxons of the early 10th century. Featuring a smooth, wood textured face and iron paint finish, this shield is sure to impress your fellow warriors on the battlefield along with a Viking axe. Its slight convex shape and iron boss on the front provide an advantage in combat. The simple wood texture on the shield is both simple and offers a great canvas to create your own custom insignia and emblems.

With a reliable and comfortable punching grip, feel confident that this hard EVA foam and latex shield will withstand the continued abuse of a LARP with regular latex maintenance. Defend yourself against your enemies and make this Viking shield a part of your epic fighting style.

HISTORY

• Iron rims were sometimes used as a way to reinforce the shield.
• The shield boss , the round, convex piece of material in the center of the shield, was used to deflect blows
• The roundwood style was predominantly used in the early European Middle Ages using light, non-splintering wood such as basswood, spruce, alder or poplar.
