I know you all wish you could be this cool. The SoB costume is pretty good though.

**Rymafyr**

Sad when the SM is a half head shorter than the SoB.

**FearPeteySodes**

These types of people are why i get made fun of at work for being "The Warhammer guy"

Sigh...

**lord_blackfang**

Probably a trap but I'd still hit it.

The SM gets bonus points if that scar running down his face is real.

**P4NC4K3**

Nononono, the SM is wrong for three reasons
1) He has hair
2) He is clearly not screaming (except possibly in his mind at whoever made him do this)
3) He is a smurf

OT, Woohoo! My 500th post!

What is that gun supposed to be? It looks like the business end of a Ghostbusters proton pack.

I believe it's the Playskool My First Heavy Bolter. Possibly a Nerf variant.

**avantgarde**

It's a Nerf Vulcan.

Also, NERDS!

**Lorek**

They don't look really happy about being photographed.

On the contrary, they are so happy at being photographed that she is barely supressing a smirk, while he has stopped yelling in furious anger.

**LunaHound**

the marine guy on the right have a very.... interesting look on his face.

If you look closely , his right eye is fierce , his left one is tired and depressed :x

they have theories on that in psychology i think xD

**Chrispy**

Yaknow, as silly as these guys look, you have to admit, that's some very good costume craft right there. Now, I'm not a big fan of cosplay (look it up) but credit where credit is due.

**smiling Assassin**

v_v

This is a sad sight.

sA (Sadly.)

**oni**

Thumbs up for the girl - Thumbs down for the guy. I like the good enthusiasm towards the hobby, but I'd have to be dead before I'd put that costume on.

**LunaHound**

Ow you guys are no fun! I dont think they wore that in public, most likely some sort of convention?

There is no embarrassment to dress up ! its not like the other participants are much cooler >.>

*edit

wait in before " thin the paint! " the icon needs some washes.

**Anung Un Rama**

There are some much weirder and worse cosplayers running around on conventions and such.

Also: Why the heck does it always have to be Ultrasmurfs??

smurfs are photogenic and shinny! also gives them chance to color the bling blings
the other chapters dont have.

Indeed. Cosplay FTW!

I dunno, i would look pretty damn dapper in Templar regalia...

**stonefox**

I can never understand the lure of dressing up as something you're not even close to looking like, but I guess if you're a fat guy pretending to be Goku you can pretend to have a tiny ounce of self-worth while you're doing so.

Vin Diesel, The Rock, Michael Duncan, or Batista should be the only people allowed to dress up as space marines.

**usernamesareannoying**

you guys are all just jealous cause none of your sisters would dress up like this with you...

dressing up like this is fun and cosplay is neat but slightly wierd.
i'm sure a lot of folk see our addiction to little toy soldiers slightly odd as well

I love going to A-kon and seeing Warmachine/Hordes and Magic players playing in cosplay. It's so surreal.

However, the YuGiOh players dressed as YuGiOh characters are just sad...

**lord_blackfang**

It's funny how geeks always tend to look down on other geeks. I'm guessing that deep down some of you are embarrassed about your hobby and need to convince yourselves that there are even more pathetic people out there.

Not me. I leave my 40K stuff out in the living room/dining room where quests can see it(granted, it's where I paint) and always have, never hid it nor the fact that I cosplay, play RPGs(and CCGs/CMGs), or LARP.

I wear my Geek/Nerd-dom with pride.

**Shep**

Awesome pic...

I second the vote for yes to the sister and no to the brother...

SOB costumes are a little more doable for cosplay... Making a hard plastic jump suit for the 5'7" guy to wear just doesn't really make me think "cool".

Hats off to the inquisitor and his retinue at LAGD... And the young lady who walked around in her sister repentia outfit. You guys went for it and ruled.

Yeah, but Mudkip is Pokemon, not YuGiOh.

You're one of the 7 people that know that and you could be one of the 4 that care

Also is anyone else disappointed that they aren't trying (and failing) to pull off a bad a$$ pose?

**fellblade**

It could be the lighting, but I suspect the SoB is also a guy... I think I'm seeing 5 o'clock shadow. Alas, the high collar hides the Adam's apple, or lack thereof.
