Transform Your Look with Special FX
Armour and weapons may set the stage, but sometimes your character needs more than clothing to tell their story. Scars, wounds, blood, or inhuman features can take a costume from convincing to unforgettable. That’s where Special FX gear comes in.
At Epic Armoury, we carry a wide range of special effects products for LARP, cosplay, theatre, and film. From quick add-ons like fake teeth to full transformations with masks and prosthetics, these tools help you step beyond yourself and into another world.
Effect Accessories - The Finishing Touches
Not every effect has to be extravagant. Little effect accessories, such as interesting props or wearables, can enhance your look. They’re typically light, easy to use, and designed to work alongside other costume items.
SFX Blood - Realistic, Safe, and Versatile
Nothing sells a battle scene like blood. Our SFX blood products are safe, easy to apply, and available in multiple forms:
-
Liquid blood for wounds, splashes, and dripping effects.
-
Gel blood for thicker, clotted looks.
-
Spray or capsule blood for fast application during events or performances.
Whether you want subtle scratches or full battlefield gore, SFX blood is one of the quickest ways to add intensity to your costume.
Face Masks - Quick Character Shifts
Sometimes you need an instant transformation. Face masks provide a fast, dramatic change without hours of makeup. Slip one on and you’re suddenly a ghoul, cultist, or monstrous figure. They’re lightweight, comfortable, and designed for extended wear during events.
Full Masks - Total Transformations
For characters that are more than human, a full mask gives you a completely new identity. These cover the entire head, creating an instant creature, monster, or non-human look.
Full masks are especially useful when you need:
-
Durability for repeated use.
-
Instant immersion without time-consuming makeup.
-
Consistency across multiple events or stage performances.
SFX Makeup - Creativity in a Kit
If you prefer building effects yourself, SFX makeup is your toolkit. Use it to create burns, scars, bruises, or dirt effects that look authentic up close. Makeup can be subtle grime of a weathered traveler, or dramatic, torn-flesh like, for a horrofic look
Prosthetics - Build a New Face or Form
Prosthetics are the top level of modification. Made with latex foam and applied with adhesive, they allow you to add scars, wounds, horns, or other changes that blend with skin tone after painting.
-
Latex prosthetics for lightweight, flexible effects.
-
Foam prosthetics for larger, dramatic shapes.
-
Reusable designs with proper care.
Perfect for players who want to take their costuming to the next level.
Fake Teeth - Sink Your Teeth Into a New Character
Teeth can change your entire face more than you’d expect. Add a set of fake teeth and suddenly you’re not yourself, you’re a snarling orc, a fanged vampire, or something far stranger.
These teeth are easy to wear, safe, and dramatic. Small accessories with a big impact.
Tinsley Transfers - Realistic Wounds Made Easy
If you want a professional result without hours of makeup, Tinsley Transfers are your answer. These apply like temporary tattoos, instantly adding realistic scars, cuts, burns, or wounds.
-
Fast to apply and long-lasting.
-
Safe for skin and comfortable to wear.
-
Professional-grade realism trusted in film and theatre.
One of the easiest ways to add convincing battle damage to your character.
