Jousting Lance
In stock and ready to ship
Ships from the USA in 1 to 3 business days
Lower the lance, spur the horse, and charge. This jousting lance is built like the real thing: a short grip for your fig's hand, a flared steel guard to protect it, a long shaft that tapers all the way down, and a sharp steel-style point on the end. Put it in the hands of a mounted knight and they're ready for the tournament or the battlefield.
The story behind the lance
- The guard has a name. That flared bell near the grip is called a vamplate. On a real lance it was a cone of steel that covered the knight's hand, so a hit sliding down the shaft didn't take his fingers with it.
- Thick at the back, thin at the front. Real lances were long wooden poles shaped just like this one, heavy near the hand and tapering toward the tip. That kept them balanced when a rider held one level at full gallop.
- Tucked under the arm. Knights didn't throw a lance or stab with it. They held it tight under the arm, called couching, and let the horse do the work. All the speed and weight of horse and rider went into that one point.
- The joust. Tournaments gave knights a way to train and show off in peacetime. Two riders charged at each other, later with a wooden barrier called the tilt between them, and scored by breaking their lance on the other knight's shield or armor. Kings joined in too. Henry VIII of England was famous for it.
- Sharp point or blunt point. Friendly jousts often used a blunt, crown-shaped tip called a coronel. This lance has the sharp war point, so it's just as ready for a real cavalry charge as it is for the tournament field.
Why builders like it
- Made for mounted knights. Nothing says cavalry like a long lance up over a horse. It turns any rider into a proper knight in a heartbeat.
- Build a tournament. Two knights, two horses, two lances and a fence down the middle, and you've got a joust on your shelf.
- Lines up for a charge. A row of these leveled across a column of cavalry looks fantastic on a battle display.
- Good guys or bad guys. Black works for a dragon knight, a dark lord's champion, or any noble rider who wants to look serious.
