How can you cosplay as a SM anyway?

IG I get. Sisters I also get, cause the armor isn't as bulky. But SM?

There is a difference?

Personally I would probably go for some kind of tech guard.

Ok, I looked around at some SM cosplay, and I do admit that they look good.

But...

What the hell is this? Apparently it's meant to be a chaos marine.

We don't need to drive women away from the hobby with the desire for them to be oversexualized.

Not on your life. I'm a guard player. And sick of all IG females only cosplaying bloody Commissars.

My biggest beef with GW? Is it that they've almost priced me out of existence? (I'm in southern hemsiphere) No. Is it moving away from the best quality plastic models in the world to something often miscast? No.

Female Imperial models exclusively in bloody corsets.

Even my special female Commissar is in a damn corset.

You're going into battle! Put some damn clothes on! Tie your idiot hair back before it catches in your armour! (Trust me, that hurts. Hurts a lot).

I'll be happy in my non-corseted stormtrooper flak, thank you.

My friend on the other hand is going Battle Sister so yeah, stupid corsetted power armour.

Dipping With Wood Stain

That's something I've never figured out.

Given how tight those corsets look... how the hell do they BREATHE in the middle of battle? Sure it may LOOK "nice" but bloody hell it seems damn impractical.

Though I will not deny the occasional urge to cosplay as a Si-- Space Marine. ¬_¬

Implanted augmetic rebreather. It oxygenates the blood and filters out carbon/nitrogen bubbles and molecular scraps so that she doesn't have to.

As for the in-universe Sisters? No idea, I guess they just tough it out.

Here's the real question...

How many people are planning to go to Games Day in a group, collectively dressed as a CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT, like one of those Chinese parade dragon costumes?
