Make it your own

Epic Armoury’s Uncoated Viking Shield is an 80 cm round latex shield perfect for your DIY LARP projects. Starting from a blank slate, this shield is sure to impress your fellow warriors when painted in your character’s own colours. The simple wooden texture on the shield is both simple and offers a great canvas to create your own custom insignia and emblems. Its slight convex shape and iron boss on the front also provides an extra edge in combat.

Enjoy your own creativity and unique style with a shield base that is built to be safe and withstand the continued abuse of LARP. The Viking Shield features a reinforced and comfortable 13.5 cm punch-grip, and is made from hard EVA foam. Defend against your enemies and make this Viking Shield a part of your epic fighting.

How to paint on our unpainted variants:

Paint the shield using paint specifically designed for EVA foam. When the paint is completely dry, coat the shield using clear latex. Dip the shield or apply using a brush to create a very thin layer. Clear latex is also available in our shop!

The Viking shield

Inspired by early pre-10th century Vikings and Saxons.
Iron rims were sometimes used as a way to reinforce the shield.
The Shield Boss--the round, convex piece of material at the centre of the shield--was used to deflect blows.
Round wooden style was predominantly used in the early European Middle Ages using light, non-splintering wood such as linden, fir, alder or poplar.

Quality

Strong latex coating on hard EVA foam, which does not flex in combat.
Made from durable closed cell foam that does not shred.
Handle is made of EVA foam and soft leather for a firm grip.
High safety, approved by the top organizations.

This item is hand-made and/or hand-painted, which makes it unique. In result of that, this product can have natural differences in design, color and shape, which are not considered faults or defects.

Everyone wants for their weapons to serve as long as possible.

Nothing can describe how to maintain tem as good as a video, so we encourage you to check out one of the episodes of “The Logbook” on that topic (with English subtitles):

Remember that most of the damage is done due to the lack of maintenance and bad storage.

Store your latex weapons flat or standing on their pommel - NEVER on the thrust (this will cause damage to the tip of the weapon, that’s not refunded)
Use a barrier made of paper or a towel to guard your weapon in contact with other plastic or rubber surface, so they won’t stick together.
Keep your weapon in a cool, dry area.
Avoid long time exposure to sunlight and don’t transport your weapons on top of your car luggage.
Remember about the maintenance, sprays work best for that.
