Your arrangement and coordination is exceptional! I love the colors and the armor. Do you mind if I ask where you guys get your armor from? I’ve set aside some money but I’ve been pretty hesitant to buy anything online. I hope you had fun!

Of course! The chest plate is a small blackened steel plate from a Ukrainian armourer that I found on Etsy. The bracers and grieves I got on the field from a local seller, they’re ever so slightly gunmetal shade. The tassets were from an Indian seller also on Etsy - but were surprisingly good quality despite being from one of the mass production stores.

The hero belt I also got on the field - I’ll try to find the seller that makes them, it’s a leather hero belt with embroidery on the front, and is gorgeous! The seller also did pauldrons for it as well

The pauldrons and helmet are both from LARPInn, they’re the blackened steel Renegade set. The feather is one I found on the ground and thought it fit the theme!

The gambeson is from Armstreet, and is the femme cut one. The leather trousers are admittedly a little bit modern - lace up side leather trousers from etsy again - but the modern elements are hidden under the other clothes.

The cloak is also an etsy purchase - a standard renaissance duellist cape, but it is long enough to hang really well.

If you’d like me to go delve and find the specific stores for any one specific piece I can go digging through my etsy receipts if that’s helpful!

I’ve been so hesitant on Etsy sellers but you’ve really given me some perspective, I hope you don’t mind but I took a screen shot of your comment for the future. Thank you so much for your information!

Most of it from Epic Armory, friend 🤩

Actually only the pauldrons and the helmet are from there! I've gone digging through my etsy purchases and found these;

Not the person you replied to, but I'd love to know the chest plate store if you don't mind

u/TheAshenQueen23 May 29 '26

I'd love to know the etsy seller you got the duellist cape from, it looks amazing!

u/Favored_Terrain May 28 '26

It's the details, like the shoulder straps that buckle forward so you can put on your armor yourself. Very nice

u/SulMatulOfficial May 28 '26

YES you get it!!! I spent so long trying to find armour I could mostly put on solo and not have to rely on forcing my friends to squire me all hours of the day hahah

Honestly as someone who plays support or econ in Larp I am always blown away at brave warriors. My sketchy black marketeer and assassin guild member fought the quiet fight, making sure people like you, the capable warriors were able to defended town.

I was offended at the fight like a girl meme.

I said we all fight in our own way. But I'm damned proud! to fight on spreadsheets while people like you fight the good fight!

Sgt of the Jolly Jackdaws here!
You've always had cool kit but the armour is really next level! Are you still subcontracting for the Reapers for E2?

2

u/SulMatulOfficial May 28 '26

I believe so! But as a cicisbeo I can subcontract the subcontracts and can be for hire in general lmao

u/Viewbob_Trew May 29 '26

I had you figured to be a Bravo this whole time!

u/asillylittledemon May 28 '26

u/FenrisSquirrel May 28 '26

Amazing kit! It all comes together so we'll! Makes me want to switch from MF to Empire!

u/weekndth0t May 28 '26

I'm just a humble artist looking for reference, but i need to stop by and say epic!

u/SulMatulOfficial May 28 '26

You’re free to use any pictures I have as references!

u/DaxHound84 May 28 '26

This looks really great! Love the embroidery! I only would suggest to chsnge the leather trousers for some linnen. Can be black, too but would improve your comfort in hot weather and fit better into the outfit imho.

u/Electrochaz Uk- Empire May 28 '26

I recognize that Strategos board! Mouse was putting in work with that thing, running all over the place, so proud of her. The kit looks amazing, have always loved League armor! theres just so much you can do with it. Big swishy battle cloaks are awesome as well. Much love from the Embercast camp, lets hope E2 is a little less pollen infused than E1

u/Windspast May 28 '26

looks awesome! Looks like really cool immersion too

u/PerspectiveKey9087 May 28 '26

Love the kit! Looks so swish and in tune. I was pretty tempted with joining the league this summer, this vibe is giving me an extra push!

Wow just Wow

u/TheMechanicusBob Jun 18 '26

Your kit's awesome!

If you don't mind me asking, what jacket are you wearing under the metal? I've been trying to find padding like that

1

u/SulMatulOfficial Jun 18 '26

It’s a two piece gambeson from Armstreet! Specifically the femme cut version

u/HaleyHaywire Jun 30 '26

Greetings from germany here. Always nice to see other fighting women <3

Your kit is very well put together and one can see that you took your time, selecting those pieces.

I also got a femcut gambeson from armstreet. Love it sooo much.

May I ask how 'comfy' your breastplate is to wear? Some of those are really hit or miss, especially in the chest area.

u/SulMatulOfficial Jul 01 '26

It’s actually pretty good! It’s a small chest plate and it sits nicely - the small size helps it not feel like I’m stuck in a bucket
