Illumine Helmet – Brass

The elven army is an incredibly dangerous one, as its members have all trained longer than most mortals have been alive. You are a member of such army. Dressed in matching armour, you stand at attention with your nearly identical kindred, your Illumine Helmet like a crown thanks to it pointed crest.

There is no fear on your face as your Lady sits upon her stag and surveys the orcs before you. The orcs gather in their chaos, their numbers far out matching your own. But still you do not fear, for every elf is worth at least ten of the enemy.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Illumine Helmet is a style of helmet inspired by the elven warriors of fantasy. Designed to protect the head during combat, the Illumine Helmet is sleek and elegant, as well as functional. The helmet covers the head, neck, and most of the face thanks to a fanned nasal guard–while still offering clear vision through the helmet’s Y-shaped visor. Overlapping welded plates along the neck also provide some flexibility to turn and look your enemies in the eye. Enjoy this easy to wear design, demanding attention on the battlefield with such details as the pointed crest and curved lines.

Similar to the popular Barbuta helmet, this high-fantasy armour is secured by tightening the leather strap beneath the chin, keeping the helmet in place. Made of 1 mm thick mild steel and top-grain leather straps and fittings, this armour piece is finished with a brass coating that gives it a particularly regal appearance. With regular leather and metal armour care, it will last for many seasons.

Available in sizes Small/Medium and Large/X-Large.
