"Hans fidgeted once more with the old armour. It had belonged to his older brother and was slightly too big for him. The neckline had ridden on his throat for most of the march, and he had a bruise and rash. It was just as itchy as when he'd fallen into a thicket of nettles when he was six years old, except this time, there was no mother with a poultice to help. And why did it smell so bad? Had Walter had a wet goat sleep in it?"

Epic Armoury's Dark Warrior Complete set is made from mild steel with rolled edges to protect against chafing and cutting, and it has top-grain leather straps and fittings to ensure that it is comfortable and safe to wear. With regular leather and metal care, it is an armour that will last for a long time. It is crafted in the style of plate armour that was used around the 13th century and treated with our Epic Dark Metal coat, which gives the armour a rugged, antique finish.

It consists of a breastplate, a dark version of the backplate, shoulder plates, upper legs, leg protection, and arm protection.
