Illusion Armory

Post by Edward Shirebrooke »

I've just located a VERY inexpensive bascinet at Illusion Armory (www.illusionarmory.com) and I was wondering if anyone has any experience with them? I'm hoping it isn't one of those 'too good to be true' deals. :)

From what I have heard, they take quite a bit to get stuff done, but it is worth it if you arent in a rush. Check over in the Classifieds, they should have more hits over there.
Westerners, we have forgotten our origins. We speak all the diverse languages of the country in turn. Indeed the man who was poor at home attains opulence here; he who had no more than a few deiners, finds himself master of a fourtune.

They do good work, but have kept one of my guys waiting for a pair of legs and other bits of kit for almost two years now. You should be okay if it is in stock, but I wouldn't risk it otherwise.

I bought one of their bascinets a loong time ago.
It was one of these in 16 gauge (before they finally up the gauge on them)

I still have it. It is dented in a lot of areas but it is still a service able loaner helm.
Just make sure that they have what you are looking for, already in stock.
Other wise I can recommend a few other armourers.
You have to push the little yellow button to load it.
