DARK DRAKE FUNCTIONAL BINS 200515

DARK DRAKE FUNCTIONAL OVERALL

Intimidation. This is your primary form of weaponry while facing off against heroes, because it gives you complete control. When your enemies fear you, they are more likely to make fatal mistakes.

Your Dark Drake armor is as dark as your intentions, hardened by the evil magic provided by your minions. As you draw back your sword, sizing up the trembling soldier who feels brave enough to face you, you begin to laugh. This will be a very short fight, if you can even call it that. The little man seems barely strong enough to hold his hammer.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury's Dark Drake Breastplate is a finely sculpted piece of armour that protects the front of the torso, chest, and abdomen. Sculpted to fit the body and add structural strength to the steel, this galvanized steel piece has been decorated to mimic reptilian scales. The plate rests on the hips and has a V-shaped flange, or sword turner, that deflects blows away from the weak point where the torso and leg armour meet. The armour is made from rolled mild steel treated with Epic Armoury's Epic Dark Metal coat, giving the armour a rugged, antique finish.

The Dark Drake Breastplate is designed to match Epic Armoury's Dark Drake Armour but is fully usable with other Epic Armoury metal products giving you the freedom to customise your character's costume. Made from 1mm thick galvanised mild steel and top grain leather straps and fittings, this piece of armour is built to withstand the abuse of a LARP or re-enactment with regular leather and metal armour care.

Available in medium and large sizes.
