Steel

Vambraces are "tubular" type of defences for the forearm, developed first in the ancient world by the Romans, but only formally named during the early 14th century, as part of a suit of plate armour. They were made of either leather, sometimes reinforced with longitudinal strips of hardened hide or metal, or from a single piece of worked steel and worn with other pieces of armour. BrickForge Vambraces consist of separate left & right pieces that fit between the minifig hand and arm pieces to provide additional defense.

BrickForge Vambraces are packaged & sold in pairs (Left & Right).

Often derided as a 'skirt', the Waist Armor's abitlity to protect against low-flying shrapnel - as well as harsh environmental elements - won out over any disparaging criticism. Add the Waist Armor to a medieval minifig to replicate a fancy surcoat, or strap it onto a galactic jet trooper to rebuff jetpack downwash. The Waist Armor is made of flexible plastic to increase posability - even allowing the minifig to sit down. A side-mounted holster, directly molded into the armor itself, is flexible enough to stow away blades, guns or other traditional accessories. Waist Armor fits over most standard minifig hips. Holster size is approximately 3mm x 2.35mm and fits accessories 3mm (or less) in diameter comfortably.

Our soft ABS plastic contains an additive making it flexible - but not stretchable. Excess tugging, twisting and attempts to fit bigger-than-intended elements inside holster slots may result in tearing. Pieces broken due to excessive play are not eligible for replacement.

Through the course of human history, commonplace objects have been pressed into service as weapons. Hammers, by virtue of their ubiquity, are no exception. Why bother hacking and slashing when you can simply sweep your opponents legs or knock them unconscious? While some hammers feature a claw for shredding armor, our War Hammer has twin chiseled heads for dealing crushing blows. Decorative handle softens the rough edges; doubling as an excellent display piece for that retired dwarf or barbarian warrior. Fits most standard minifig hands.

Thanks to the popularity of baseball and softball the baseball bat has found its way into almost every home in America. The Aluminum Baseball Bat is a smooth metal club used to hit a small white ball in repeated attempts to score more runs than the other team. The baseball bat has also proven useful as a deterrent to home-invasions or cracking windshields as result of past grudge match. Whether you pinch hit, or need protection in a pinch, the Aluminum Baseball Bat is as reliable as the lights at Wrigley Field. Fits most standard minifig hands.

Created in tandum with our Battle Helmet, the retro-classical look of our Battle Armor is perfect for either the Medieval Tournament Knight or Sci-fi Space Quester. Inspired by various fantasy mythos Battle Armor features a curved design with rich, etched lines to bring out its noble character. For added armor or to obtain a more finished look attach any of our exclusive BrickForge Pauldron designs. A standard, hollow stud extrusion on the rear of the armor allows you to customize your minifig using a variety of compatible parts.

Pauldrons sold separately.

The Battle Helmet was created alongside our Battle Armor to provide battalions a matching full-piece set of armor. 270° protection and nose guard offer maximum defense while emblazoned crest and vertical comb compliment a clean and noble design. Add your own adornments to any of the three standard plume sockets to denote rank or faction. Battle Helmet fits most standard minifig heads.

The Centurion Helmet is actually descended from an earlier Greek (Attic) helmet which came into fashion after the original Corinthian fell out of favor. Essentially it was a Chalcidian helmet with no nasal bar, hinged cheek guards and an inverted V-shaped brow plate. It was quite popular in the early Greco-Roman world where it was often ornately decorated and mainly used in ceremony. The reliefs of Trajan's Column support the idea that the Attic helmet survived well into the 1st Century AD to be used by Roman officers such as Tribunes, Legates and Praetorians in similar fashion. Add our Officers Plume for additional flare. Fits most standard minifig heads.

The dwarves skill with mining, metallurgy and magic allows them to create fantastic artifacts of legend. The Dwarven Helmet is no exception. With its banded crown, exaggerated cheek guards and flared neck guard, this piece lives up to the expectations of even the most surly, robust dwarf warrior. Standard plume sockets on either side and top allow you to assign factions to your different clans using plumes or adornments. Dwarven Helmet fits most standard minifig heads & beards.

The Elven Helmet is as stoic and graceful as the elves themselves. They are not easy to construct, and the finest ones could last for generations. It is no surprise that a certain amount of mystery surrounded both their making and their use. Honestly, we're not quite sure how the Angry DwarfSmith pulled this one off, other than to mention something about Faenor. Perfect for woodland sentries or equipping a column for battle, our Elven Helmet was crafted with side and top plume sockets for a variety of adornments. Pair up with either our Elven Blade or Elven Spear for a far deadlier threat. Fits most standard minifig heads.

Note: Brown Elven Helmets have a small surface stress mark near the upper eye hole. For a reason we can't explain the Brown color magnifies these marks which occur when they pop out of the mold.
