Paladin armor for LARP: bright heraldic and floral polyurethane plate for holy warriors, champions of light, and sworn defenders. Lion Knight and Flower Knight sets, Empire Commander pieces, and shield rondels with the symbols of your order. Lightweight, combat-safe, and free to recolor.
Every piece is cast, painted and assembled by hand in our workshop.
A paladin is a holy knight: a warrior bound by an oath to a god, an order, or an ideal. Their armor tells that story at first glance. It is clean, bright, and heraldic, decorated with symbols of faith and protection: lions, crosses, suns, flowers, and polished metal. Where a dark knight looks threatening, a paladin looks radiant and trustworthy, someone the weak can run to in a battle.
In a LARP, a paladin is often a healer, a leader, and a front-line fighter at the same time. That means long hours in armor, prayers and speeches, and fights against the darkness. Our polyurethane armor gives you the look of ornate plate without the weight of steel, so you can carry the role through a whole weekend.
Lion Knight line. The classic heroic paladin. Heraldic lions and fleur-de-lis on the breastplate, pauldrons, helmet, and every other piece. The Lion Armor Full Set is the most direct way to look like a champion of light.
Flower Knight and Flower Maiden. A gentler, graceful paladin with floral ornament. The Flower Knight Full Set fits most adults, and the Flower Maiden Full Set and Flower Maiden Body Armor are cut for a female figure and include a backplate.
Empire Commander pieces. For an order with a strict, militant style: the Empire Commander Breastplate, Pauldron, Tassets, and Knee Pads, with heraldic bulls and rope-like trim. The Empire Armor Tassets with a griffin and a radiant sun are a natural match.
Symbols of the order. The Cross Shield Rondel and the Braided Shield Rondel carry the sign of your faith on the shoulder or chest.
Every paladin belongs to something bigger. A knight of the sun wears gold and white with a radiant symbol. A sworn defender of a temple wears silver and blue with a cross rondel. A paladin of nature combines the Flower Knight line with green and silver. A grim inquisitor of the order wears Empire Commander pieces in dark steel with gold details. Decide what your order believes, choose its colors, and we will paint the armor to match.
A full steel harness can weigh 20 kg or more. Our armor is cast from polyurethane resin reinforced with fiberglass: it looks like sculpted metal, it is safe for LARP combat with LARP-safe weapons, it does not rust in the rain, and it does not crack in frost. You stay comfortable and still look epic, from the morning procession to the last battle of the night.
Ready sets always cost less than the same pieces bought separately, and a coupon or promo code also applies to the set price. If you prefer to start small, a breastplate and a pair of pauldrons already make a recognizable paladin; add tassets, greaves, and bracers later. See all full sets.
Each piece is painted by hand with acrylic, oil paints, and dry pigments and sealed with lacquer in a matte, satin, or gloss finish. Repainting is free. Additional decor or custom symbols can be ordered too; please agree the details with us by email before you buy. For new designs, see Custom LARP Armor.
Every piece is made to order in our workshop in Ukraine. Production and dispatch usually take 7–21 business days. Custom orders may take longer, and we agree the timeline with you by email at info@larpshopkeeper.com. We ship worldwide; details are in our Shipping Policy.
Polyurethane armor needs very little care. After an event, wipe it with a damp cloth, then with a dry one, and let every piece dry. Do not use alcohol or solvents, because they damage the lacquer. The straps are fixed with screws, and spare screws come in every parcel, so a worn strap is easy to replace. Full instructions are in our Armor Maintenance guide.
The word paladin comes from the Latin palatinus, an official of the palace. In medieval legend it became the name for the Twelve Peers of Charlemagne, the champions of the emperor in the chansons de geste. The most famous of these poems, The Song of Roland, written down around the end of the 11th century, tells how Roland and his companion Oliver fought to the last at Roncevaux. Their loyalty, faith, and courage made the paladin a symbol of the perfect Christian knight.
Modern fantasy turned that legendary champion into an archetype: a holy warrior who fights for a god, a cause, or an oath, and whose armor shines as a sign of that devotion. In LARP, the paladin is the hero who protects the weak, leads the charge, and stands against darkness.
| Rank | Pieces | Look |
|---|---|---|
| Initiate | A breastplate such as the Lion Knight Breastplate or Flower Knight Cuirass, a Cross Shield Rondel, and a tabard | A young holy warrior at the start of the path |
| Paladin | Breastplate, pauldrons, bracers, and tassets from one line, plus a helmet | A complete holy knight |
| Champion | A full set: Lion Armor, Flower Knight, or Flower Maiden | Full plate and the presence of a legend |
All pieces of one line are made to work together, so you can grow your paladin step by step.
Most paladins are bright: polished silver, white, and gold, a shining symbol of the faith on the chest. But a paladin can also be stern and dark: an avenger in black and bronze who hunts the enemies of his god without mercy. The Lion Knight and Flower Knight lines suit the classic bright paladin, while Empire Commander pieces in the collection suit a darker, harder warrior of faith. Repainting is free, so you can choose either side.
The Flower Maiden armor is cut for a female figure, with a fitted breastplate and backplate, and fits a chest of 83–105 cm and a waist of 64–85 cm. Combined with the floral helmets of the Flower Knight line, it makes a graceful holy warrior. More in Women's LARP Armor.
A holy order in matching armor is one of the strongest images on a LARP battlefield. We accept group orders and offer discounts for LARP teams and organizers, and we can paint every set in the colors of your order. Write to info@larpshopkeeper.com with the number of players and the pieces you need.
All our paladin armor is designed in our own workshop. We do not copy designs from games, films, or books. Our lines are inspired by medieval knighthood, legend, and the fantasy genre as a whole, so your paladin is your own character. For your own symbols or a new design, see Custom LARP Armor.
