Dan Thompson doing what he does best. Getting into a fight.

Welcome to Epoch Arms. We are a full-service custom armory; making hand weapons, armor, costumes and props. We do any time period you might want from ancient celts to vikings to renaissance to world war II to post-apocalyptic, steampunk, fantasy and sci-fi. You name it, we can do it!

We craft your weapons from scratch; based on real, historical designs. We train with them as the originators did in their time so we can recreate true-to-life fights that look great on screen.

We have worked with some of the best up and coming names in the industry. Corridor Digital, Mars Rising Films, Luke LaFontaine.

Here are a couple of videos we worked on.

    I hab seen some of the videos you have work on or whatever your part was in it but was curious as to what you guys ask as for compensation for your work and if you do how much do u guy ask for if i wanted costume and weapons.

      we are a consignment studio so if you have a project in mind just ask us and well start gathering up all the information and calculate a price.we specialize in weapons historical mostly but fantasy weapons are indeed possible.we make our costumes to order and to fit so if you are close to the Inland Empire we can size and design what you want! I dont have a price list because every project is different with its own challenges.some things are simple say a cruciform Templar sword compared to say Link’s Master sword.a cruciform sword can be made with all the equipment in a forge the shapes are simple and elegant and made for one simple purposes…..KILLING.so it will be less challenging to produce.the Link sword comes from a videogame so it doesnt have to follow the laws of physics or proper sword construction its a wide rectangle with no fuller and a tiny pommel.this makes for a sword that is very blade heavy and hard to move.the techniques we have to use to make this sword functional are challenging and very precise in nature,the guard is very elaborate(and with the small points directed at the wrist very dangerous)so extra finish time and decorative detail must be included in the overall price.every project is different and wonderful in its own right.
