Guardian - 33.5 in
The Guardian, a high-fantasy latex war hammer from Epic Armoury, carries rich sculpted and hand-painted detail throughout. Its 3.5 in wide head features a 5.9x5.9 in striking face intended to deliver a decisive blow, balanced by an 3.1 in claw-like spike serving as the peen. A jeweled metal bar visually joins the head to the steel-colored haft, which ends in a 4.7 in handle wrapped in chrome-tanned suede leather for a comfortable, secure grip.
Closed cell foam over a fiberglass core, finished in a strong latex coating, gives this LARP weapon the safety and appeal you want for your kit.
Because the entire weapon is hand-painted, the jewel varies between blue, red, green, purple, or black, and the metal band comes in gold, silver, or bronze.
