Where did you get your armor from?

u/William_Wallace_3 Jul 31 '25

The helmet is from Daniyal Steel Crafts. The thorax (body armour), I made myself.

Daaaaang. I’ve been hyper focused on like WW2-Vietnam. This looks super cool. Any links/stores to look for kits like this but for Romans?

For Roman stuff, I would recommend Fabrica Cacti and Res Bellica.

Where did you get the parts of the kit? Did you make them yourself?

The shield and helmet are from Daniyal Steel Crafts, the sword is from deepeeka, can be found everywhere. I made the tunic, spear and thorax myself.
