CQ Undead Helmet

The most gracious Bone Queen has granted you eternal life. She is the creator and goddess of the Undead Flesh, and she demands the extinction of every settler! Without tiring and with the constant assistance of the necromancers, you will personally see that every one of the mortal settlers will be vanquished.

You are one of the Bone Queen’s armoured corpse warriors, a Loyal, and it is with your help that the Undead Flesh will one day reconquest their own lands.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s CQ Undead Helmet is a fantasy-inspired piece of armour designed to protect the head during combat. Based on a nasal helm worn during the middle ages, the Undead Helmet will strike fear in the hearts of your enemies as you stride into battle. With incredible attention to detail, you will have protection, maximum mobility and vision thanks to the chainmail along the wearer’s neck and the carefully designed faceguard.

Secure the CQ Undead Helmet by tightening the leather strap beneath the chin, keeping the helmet in place. Made of 1 mm thick galvanized mild steel and top-grain leather straps and fittings, this armour piece is built to withstand the abuse of a LARP or reenactment with regular leather and metal armour care.

Available in sizes Medium and Large.

Epic Armoury Dark products are specially treated to resist rust, but should still be treated with oil and kept in dry storage. All our metal armours contain leather parts that need regular maintenance using leather-care products to keep the leather from drying out.

Cleaning

If your armour does get wet, it is important that you dry it thoroughly as soon as possible.

After handling, wearing, or after six months of storage or display, all metal should be wiped with a clean cloth. Lightly oil the clean surface with a quality machine or mineral oil. Alternatively, you can apply a coating of wax to the entire surface of exposed metal. Allow the wax to dry for a couple of hours and then buff it lightly with a soft cloth.

Rust-Prevention and Removal

Store your armour is a dry place and check it every couple of months for signs of rust. If any is found, remove it by gently rubbing the affected spot with a mildly abrasive pad dipped in paste wax, oil, or water-displacing liquid.

Leather Straps and Fittings

Clean by removing dirt with a hard brush, then gently rub on leather soap with a clean, damp cloth until the leather appears clean. Remove soap with a separate damp cloth to wipe away any soap residue and then use a dry cloth to wipe away any remaining water from the leather.

You should always condition leather after cleaning, since the soap will have removed some of its natural oils. Treat the leather with mink oil, olive oil, or beeswax polish with a clean cloth, gently rubbing a small amount of oil or polish in circles into the leather. Allow the leather to soak in the oil before wiping the leather with a final clean cloth to remove any excess residue.
