Foam Swords & Shields for LARP
Epic Armoury has a wide range of foam swords and shields for LARP, roleplay combat, and immersive events. These are gear you can actually use, in contact fights, long sessions, and real-world events, with a focus on safety, durability, and a look that feels right in your hands.
If you’re wondering where to buy LARP swords, looking for cheap foam swords, or putting together a full sword and shield setup, this page gathers all Epic Armoury options in one place.
Designed for Safe, Practical Use
Epic Armoury foam swords and shields are made for controlled, contact play, where gear needs to handle repeated use, impacted with other foam weapons, but also wooden shields and plate armor, without wearing too much or compromisign safety.
Every sword has a flexible fiberglass core, paired with foam that absorbs impact and keeps the weight light and balanced for comfortable handling.
Different product lines use different foam techniques, some are hand-shaped block-carved EVA, while others use injection-molded PU or EVA foam. Each method is chosen for how it handles in combat and how long it holds up.
Across all lines, the goal is simple: weapons that feel natural to use and look right when you swing or block. Shapes take cues from historical swords and shields, while fantasy details stay grounded, so the equipment supports your play instead of distracting from it.
Epic Armoury Sword Lines – Find Your Fit
We divide our swords into clear product lines, each built with a different approach to construction, detail, and price. This makes it easier to choose a sword that matches how often you play, how much wear it needs to handle, and what kind of feel you prefer.
At a glance, the differences between the lines are:
-
Classics and Ready For Battle use block-carved EVA foam with a fiberglass core and latex coating, offering a familiar, flexible, and widely used LARP construction.
-
Vanguard swords are made from injection-molded PU foam, resulting in clean shapes, consistent quality, and a modern finish.
-
Stronghold swords use injection-molded EVA foam and advanced padding to allow for deeper detail and a more solid feel in hand.
In practice, Classics focus on variety and balance, offering a wide range of designs at a dependable price point. Ready For Battle uses the same materials but simplifies shapes and details, making it a practical option for beginners, groups, or anyone looking for affordable gear.
Vanguard is about consistency and clean presentation, while Stronghold is built for durability and demanding use. Stronghold weapons use a round-core hybrid construction padded with lightweight Epic Foam to improve resistance to wear while keeping handling controlled.
Some Stronghold swords are also available in the Stronghold Master Collection. These versions use an oval core with brushed Epic Foam and a weighted handle, giving more precise control and a more responsive feel. Stronghold Masters are often chosen by experienced players who want dependable handling and long-term durability during frequent or intense play.
Foam Shields, Built to Last
All Epic Armoury shields follow the Classics construction style, focusing on durability and safe handling. They use firm, hard foam so they keep their shape, even under repeated impact, and many models include leather handles and wrapped edges for a more natural grip.
Shields come in round, kite, and other classic or fantasy-inspired shapes, so it’s easy to match a shield to your sword or combat style. Designed for use, not just display, they can take a beating and still perform.
Caring for Your Weapons
Safety is always first. Epic Armoury foam weapons are made to meet LARP safety standards and should always be used under controlled rules. Check your gear regularly for wear, cracks, or other damage.
Keeping them in good condition helps them last longer:
-
Clean weapons after use.

Store away from direct sunlight or heat.

Apply Epic Armoury Protection Gel to latex surfaces to keep them flexible, reduce surface wear, and maintain their appearance.
With regular care, your swords and shields stay functional, safe, and comfortable for many events.
