Renegade Shoulders - Epic Dark

You stand so very tall in your armour, the hard edges of your Renegade Shoulder glinting in the sunlight. From far away you pose an intimidating threat, and up close you are terrifying.

Known as The Renegade, you are a mercenary for hire and you and your team have never lost a battle. It is a testament to your great intelligence as well as your might, for you control the battlefield in more ways than one.

DETAILS

The Epic Dark Renegade Shoulder is a single spaulder designed to protect the upper arm, shoulder and face. Handcrafted from 1mm thick mild steel, this shoulder guard features three overlapping plates that provide great protection and movement. The shape of the top plate is specifically designed to deflect hits to the shoulder, while also protecting the face thanks to the curved sword breaker. These plates are attached with vegetable tanned leather and steel rivets.

The Renegade Shoulder is designed to match Epic Armoury’s ‘Renegade’ set, a mercenary inspired armour set that is great for many body sizes and types. It can also be paired with other Epic Armoury armours in order to fully customize your character’s look. Secure the Renegade Shoulder by looping the included canvas ties through the leather shoulder piece and the top plate, choosing from the available holes to achieve the best fit. This shoulder piece straps across the chest and back. Finally, strap the second leather strap around the upper arm to keep the armour firmly in place.

HISTORY

• Historically designed with sculpted ridges and overlapping plates to provide reinforced protection and to deflect attacks on a chaotic battlefield
• The overlapping plates are referred to as ‘lames’
• Similar to a pauldron, except that this spaulder does not protect the armpits
