Fantasy Helmets

For those not following tradition, Dark Knight Armoury offers you our line of Fantasy Helmets. Some of the designs found here are inspired from Medieval designs with a little bit more of a modern twist to them and some of them are classic helmets from Movies and Comic Books. We have the Fantasy styled Viking Helms with Horns or Wings, which were not historically accurate, but are still very well known.  You'll find Helmets from Comic Book Heroes and Vilans, like Thor, Magneto and Iron Man to name a few. Our fantasy helmets are fully functional and are great for use in re-enactments, but it that is not your thing, they are equally great to display.

Greek Helmets

This style of helmet originated in the area of Corinth, in Ancient Greece, hence the name Corinthian Helmet. Corinthian Helmets were originally made from Bronze, our replicas are made from either 16 or 18 gauge steel or brass. This style of Helmet was favored by the Greeks because it completely covered the head, the nape of the neck as well as the face. Corinthian Helms feature eye and mouth slits. If you are going for a Greek look, you have to get one of these fine Corinthian Helmets, Dark Knight Armoury has versions with or with out plumes.

Helmet Stands

Every Helmet deserves to be beautifully displayed. Whether you use your helmets on a regular bases for re-enacting or SCA, or you are a collector of fine Medieval Armour, you need a good, sturdy helmet display stand. We have a nice selection of hardwood helmet stands that will compliment and display your Medieval Helmets. If you are looking to display your Cuirass or Harness armour with your Helmet, we also have a armor stand for that.

Japanese Helmets

Our Japanese kabuto & menpo are superbly constructed, beautifully detailed and a great value. The Japanese Kabuto is the helmet which covers the head and the Japanese Menpo is the face mask. Our Japanese Helmets are full size and wearable, but also look stunning on display. Wear them with our full Japanese suit of armour for a complete look.

Leather Helmets

Leather Helmets are a great alternative to Steel Helmets. Many of our Traditional Medieval steel helmet designs are copied and crafted from leather. You get the same look, but leather helmets are lighter, more comfortable and easier to wear. If you use leather body armour, our leather helmets will be a great addition and accent your armour nicely. Our Medieval style Leather Helmets are made from 8/9 oz leather, which is a medium weight. Our leather helms are perfect for re-enactors, LARP and faire goers. They are more versatile than steel, while still providing an authentic look and modest protection.

Medieval Helmets

Dark Knight Armoury has a great selection of functional Medieval Helmets. Our helmets are full size and wearable and most of them can be used for re-enactments, SCA or LARP, theater productions or movies. Browse through our selection of Medieval Helmets and you'll find classic styles like Tournament and Jousting Helmets, Barbuta Helms, Knight Helms, German Sallet Helmets, Bascinet Helms, Templar Helmets, SCA Combat Helmets, Spangenhelms, Viking Helmets and Norman Helmets. Our Medieval Helmets are not only wearable, they display very nicely and are the perfect start or addition to your collection.

Roman Helmets

Roman style helmets are some of the most well known and popular helmets there are. They are known for the cheek plates, visor and plume. Not all Roman Helmets featured plumes, it is believed that Generals or Centurions were the only ones to wear helmets with Plumes and soldiers wore helmets with out plumes. The Plumes are generally made from horsehair and are dyed red and go either side to side or front to back in direction. Our Roman Helmets are fully functional and full size, they are great for re-enacting or SCA combat. Pair any of these with a Lorica Segmenta and you are on your way to a authentic Roman suit of armour.

Viking Helmets

When Viking Helms are mentioned the thought of a Fantasy style helmet with wings or horns comes to mind. While we do offer those types of helmets, we also offer the historically accurate versions of Viking Helmets which feature hinged cheek plates, nasal guards and simple lines. Not all Viking or Norse Helmets have cheek plates, some are without. Norman Helmets usually have a conical shape to them while the Viking styles are more rounded on the top. Our Viking and Norman Helmets are fully functional and full size, they are great for re-enacting or SCA combat.
