A bit hammy but a nice try

At the risk of incurring the wrath of our female members, girls are so much better at this dressing up at conventions lark.

Mmm, Zelda...

Those are REALLY nice costumes.

Yeah... yummy yummy yummy with a rack attack boltgun.

"Subnote"
Which is the "best" costume in that last picture? Heh.

Wow, those last costumes are really amazing O_O, the space marine one makes the guy's head look TINY!

Sorry i've got to say this purely because shes hot but : "Sample my gene seed said the space marine to the battle sister"....

The guy in the first post looks like he's from the KISS chapter, of the Cursed Glam Rock Founding.

Oh come on! Thosse guys look NOTHING like Inquisitors or Guardsmen!




Everybody knows that everyone in the Imperium is bald!

/That's an impressive SoB costume. Must've been hellishly hot in that thing.

SOB and the plasma pistol look great lol
Whats with the Mutton Chops though gee.

(Thank you, thank you! I'll be here all week!)

Hey your comment made me laugh anyways.

If Kommissar happens to read this: Fakking ace man, amazing job on the costume. Props to the missus too, she wears it quite well

Oh, mutton chops ftw too.

Now I'll have to cave and track down costume pics from ComiCon ...

Yeah, the mutton chops were a bit to epic for me.

I bet some people would want to use their plasma pistol on her...

Oh and mutton chops are awesome!

Caiphus Cain had mutton chops so that's that.

Awesome costumes, the Sister of Battle takes the cake in terms of execution and how she makes my dice roll

Must've been a pain in the ass to wait in lines outside while wearing those things though especially since they're mostly black.

The SM costume is alright but the SoB & IG Costumes are amazing! I saw in a youtube video two more guys dressed as normal IG troopers also.

What's up with all the keys on the Inquisitor? It's a nice touch tho.

Love the 'chops. Having an extravagant amount of facial hair and/or sideboards makes your yellscream so much more convincing.

I got to be honest.....the SOB doesn't really do it for me, now the Zelda girl would get my attention!!

Those three had some great costumes. Very nice work on the Plasma Pistol. Seriously, who wouldn't want to take a real one to the range?

While the Space Marine is bald, he only merits partial marks for not screaming...

For some reason, he makes me think of Doogie Hooser. But, Doogie after getting beat up in gym class, so he's acting all mad and stuff.

Also for the record: That one guys chops are epic.

That's only because any such Inquisitor would suffer from LMS.

I think Mutton Chops should be 100% natural. C'mon!

I love seeing pictures of young, fresh faced people trying to be all GRIMDARK. It's cute, like when a little kid puts on hid dad's army boots and goes clomping around.

Also, reading the slobbering replies here reminds me yet again why there are so few women in our hobby.

Yeah, the dudes look like total dongs. Which, since they are dressed up like little spacemen toy soldiers.... The SOB outfit is very well done and actually looks like cool scifi. The attractive female is the key though- they can make just about anything look good. Imagine same outfit with hambeast. Then it would match Commisar Muttonchops, Inquisitor Tinyhowser, and Brother Hugeshoes.

Pah! You have no appreciation of quality cosplay.

You would probably like the SoB girl even if she was just in her birthday suit.

Probably especially if she was just in her birthday suit .

The whole point is these kinds of things is pretty girls, not fatties. *Everybody* knows that.

Here's hoping next year it'll be a Repentia.

Eh forget that tbh we need more pics of cute zelda girls, 40k cosplay is just a little too much.

Huh?

I'm OK look at pretty girls dressed as DE Witches, DE Wyches, Harlequins, Daemonettes, or Battle Sisters, no problem.

Sweet, I love them! Well done!

Battle Sister costume is bloody impressive (almost movie quality), though if I had to chose a photo to stare at all day, I'd stick with the Zelda girl

Xenos love is extra heretical.

I'm just saying, you know,

Aaaaand extra kinky, I dare you to dress up your better half in skimpy leathers, dye her skin in a pale hue and give her a whip.

The Commissar guy is funny.

Commissars are always entertaining, dressing up as them only more so.

Commissar Muttonchops is win

Moar chops!

Kilkrazy wrote:Pah! You have no appreciation of quality cosplay.

Oddly enough, the SoB is the only one that is really outwardly recognizable as 40k and Sci-Fi. It's amazing how bland and non-scifi regular people are in the 40k universe when their outfits aren't ridiculously garish or their weapons 3x too big. The comissar for example, has a huge plasma pistol, but without a huge sword and giant hamfists and super giant blingin' eagles, he doesn't really scream 40k badass as much as he should.

Now the chops on the other hand are a brilliant touch.

I was always fascinated by that picture, mebbe from a games day, of the daemonettes all expressing their like of each other, especially with the kid in the background staring open mouthed!

From a Spanish gamesday and it was indeed, very cool.

The commissar's hat isn't nearly big enough.

Truth is if you didn't know the SoB was a character out of 40K, you could easily take her for a character out of the latest Final Fantasy, or Bayonetta or something.

You mean like this?:

That Sister Of Battle is pretty hot.
But the thing that bothers me is that that Comissars plasma pistol is waaaaay toooo big. I don't wanna see the result when that sized plasma pistol explodes in his hand.

According to Eldar fluff (3rd Edition Codex I think), the finest human dancers would be unable to replicate the most basic of Eldar movements. Which would make it physically impossible for Eldar to appear in a 40K movie unless they used CGI... how depressing.

Commissar has the best custume, I think. The mutton chops are ace, as well.

Very nice, but where are the Daemonettes of Slaanesh??? Wink....wink.

She looked a wee bit under-age to me. Plus her boobs weren't that big or offensive. Oh well.

This is maybe the first really cool costume for 40k characters. Most of the time, 40k costumes just look cheap. Not that I can build anything better, but making something real-life for 40k is like an instant geekbutton.

But these are nicely made.

And the Commisar is the best because he doesn't take himself too seriously.

Personally I'd like to see someone do a convincing Krieg uniform, not just a greatcoat, a random gas mask and a surplus German WWII helmet all put on without much thought.

The legs are sooooo funny lol

Impressive costumes. SoB is just well-made. No references to she who wears it, though. Dyed hair is just... Bleh.

Rico.

QFT.

What you said.

Lets also keep in mind that the kind of people that go out of there way to put on skimpy costumes that play up their sexuality and walk around as a visual commodity are doing so because they like the attention.

There are no victims in cosplay...

There are no victims in cosplay...

anyone who has seen this guy or a fat girl in a skimpy outfit would claim otherwise...bleach to clean the eyes burns like hell.

Right but We as the outsiders are the victims not him.

My point is this: I always love when some girl wears a cosplay costume that is barely covering her naughty bits, parades around in a conventional hall making "come hither faces" and posing for pics in suggestive stances and then she or someone else acts "shocked" when people focus on her as a sexual object and make such comments.

Is this equation really that hard to figure out?

I thought I'd give you guys a couple more 40K shots.







And my own personal Favourite....

Possibly the best Space Marines costumes I've seen... or are they photo shopped in some way?

No. The Space Marine at the back and drop pod are photoshopped, but the costumes themselves are genuine. You can even see the paint marks.

I've seen those two Astartes lads a while ago in Amsterdam during some posh GW event, really nice costumes.

What's the chap on the right supposed to be and why haven't they shot him yet?

He's a ninja by the name of Hatake Kakashi from the popular anime series Naruto.

He's also the guy in my avatar.

Are you involved in that pic in any way, shape or form then?

the woman under the Bionacle sign is biting her fingernail.. of course she could be cleaning the finger after a good gold dig, but she doesn't have the finger in her nose, so your accusal is substantial at best..

Having had to put up with cosplayers for years working at a convention that attracts them like no other (AX), Id have to say these rank among my favs.

Enjoyable.

We all know that's what happens to Malfred if you attempt to remove his man-purse.

The fat guy is quite famous among the anime crowd. His online name is Pandabubba, if I recall correctly. He dresses like that deliberately in order to break the minds of fangirls worldwide.

haha, thanks man!, i made pretty much all of the props of our group, the inquisitor was alittle bit of a rush job, he had a perfect coat and hat planned but the people who were making them bailed out on him and left him hanging, poor guy.

the Sister armor i am really proud of,

she doesnt play 40k, but she does play Dark Heresy, infact it's Heresy that got her into the Sister of Battle intrest.

thank you for noticing, i get alot of negative feedback regarding the chops, but i done them for two reasons, firstly i was going for a ciaphas cain look, and secondly 40k is all about exaggeration, i had remarkable fun wearing the damn things.
i'll be wearing the same outfit for gencon, just with a big valhallan style greatcoat also.


now someone mentioned Krieg costumes? there was a second commissar and two Kriegsmen going around also, they done pretty well in my opinion.

I prefer...

Yeah that's also a great cosplay, i just wish i didnt stare at the tape that was painted over on her helmet every time i see the costume..

It's a great realistic version of a character, i'd like to see more of that trend sometimes..

O... K... everybody look embarrassed and say sorry for all of the "comments" made about Kommissar's wife. For the record, I was always in the Zelda crowd

Anyway, excellent costumes Kommissar. Plasma Pistol looks great in the dark.

The plas pistol lights up! That's incredibly cool. Nice work!

Kommissar wrote:

As you should be.

To be honest i am not a big fan of cosplay nor usually that impressed by many of the costumes I see posted on forums. They often fail for a number of reasons:

1. The guy/girl wearing it is unbelievable for the role and breaks the illusion (space marines don't have braces nor wear glasses, etc.)

2. Poor attention to detail or faithfulness to the subject matter

You however have neither of these issues with this SOB costume. Your wife pulls off the look perfectly and the costume is convincing to all hell. I'm curious as I have not seen any pics that show one, does the costume have a backpack/respirator unit? I think a Seraphim jumppack would be a killer addition especially since she already has the two pistols...

Regardless, excellent work.

we want to make her a seraphim pack, but the first addition to her list is a helmet, then a full bolter, and some extra details on her armor.

she does have a backpack though,





we wanted it to look alittle more archaic, so we deviated from the standard backpack, adding the smoke stacks.
the tube hanging down the back that is seen in some shots is a camelbak drinking tube that's usually affixed under one of the pauldrons, we wanted the backpack to have some utility, so the top can be removed and we can keep small things inside, such as wallets, smokes, emergency repair kit ect.
and obviously theres a working camelbak inside so she can drink water whenever.

surprisingly the armor is pretty light, and were looking at areas to add fans.

Kommissar, I'm sure you get this all the time, but what do you usually charge(or would you charge if you've never done commission before) for a costume of this level?

Say, something like these two:

i'm more of an individual prop designer than a full costume type.
i've done a few commissions for clients, but those are based on sketches or reference material they provide, steam punk guns for example.

individual object and props i can do, most clothing however, is not my skill set yet,
i like to make armor, and that's the closest i have gotten to "clothing"
other than hand stitching a few designs on a trenchcoat.

ideally our inquisitor will look like that for next year though..


anywho, if you want me to make something for you, feel free to PM me, we can discuss it in private, but i will say publicly that if it's a clear iconic 40k weapon for example, i would not be able to make it for you with transactions involving money.
gimme a PM though.

Great work man. I'm diggin the light up Plasma Pistol as well.

Question: Are the Chops real? If not, then you better get on growing those puppies out.

the fat dude w/ the beard...oh my god....my eyes are killing me

I've been toying with building an Inquisitor getup recently, I just need a good design to work with. I'm definitely going to go Hereticus just for the hats, but other than that I'll need to brainstorm whether or not I want to put a waist in a trenchcoat again...

I am without any pictures because my memory card was literally burned alive, otherwise I'd have some images of other stuff I have built for costuming/cosplay/haloween.
Gaming related, the only thing I can think of is I made a Magnus the Warlord costume from Warmachine which is for this Haloween.

Other than that my work has all been Video Game (Army of Two, TF2, The World Ends with You) and Anime (Mugen from Samurai Champloo, Death the Kid from SoulEater, and maybe for haloween Spiro and Mizah from Baccano!) related.

I did offhandedly mention the possibility of building a life sized version of Sorscha from Warmachine using a mannequin for my LGS (quote: "So we can be the first store without a pressganger to be in No Quarter TWICE!").

I like building stuff, what can I say?

This thread reminds me..

I need to get crackin on a Halloween Costume!

LOL at the first SM guy, i love his boots and that guy in the middle, well to me he looks like some wussy son from a rich imperial family that somehow got him in with the inquisition or adpetus munition or watever

STAND BACK FOES OF THE IMPERIUM, I HAVE......KEYS!!!!!

<=== So wants a SoB costume.
