Now that has GOT to be worth a couple free tickets to GamesDay...

**Gizmodious**

Wow very impressive! That armor is amazing!!

**Finnlock**

Thanks everyone. Is anyone going to have a table or booth set up at GD? I'd like very much to have a "home base" where I can leave some things while we go around and have a place for Raven to sit down away from everyone when she needs a rest. Also a place to do repairs if it comes to that... :/

**The Good Green**

Great job Finnlock! That suit looks amazing.

**Captain Vyper**

Will be at Games-Day. Cant wait to see all your work up close.

**titasah64**

Flinnlock,

Consider yourself lucky that you have a girlfriend that would let you create a costume like this for them. Many guys I know have wife's that just shake their head when we mention going to play let alone want to have a costume made for them that will wear it at a convention where they will be the center of attention.

**Finnlock**

Final few hours...still working, chainsword, still works, but heavy as all get out. see you all tomorrow for GD..

**sonofruss**

Don't forget the camera.

(PICTURES OF AWESOME CHAINSWORD)

Awwwwww yea, thats wicked! Its a shame its getting so heavy, will your Girlfriend of Battle be able to carry it? I made a flamethrower prop (team fortress 2 style) for my GF, but it was a huge hassle for her to carry it any length of time :( Made an axe-tinguisher out of foam for when she got tired!

**Timonth**

Looking better and better man! Great job! I like how it says "Faith" on the power fist, like: "Eat faith heretic!" *punch*

**Finnlock**

Here are some shots from GD...

We got there really late due to traffic (DAMN YOU rt95!!!) and missed the costume contest, but still had fun. Everyone was super nice and respectful when asking for photos. Saddly I did not get to do any shopping ( wanted space hulk minis :( ) or see the whole con. Still all in all a lot of fun and was nice to get the armor out in public and let people see it. It held up really well and Raven was comfortable in it which made me very happy.

**jetjetex**

this thing was beast at games day,i loved it.

**Rex-Nine**

... wait... what!?!? There has to be more pics then that!!!!!! It's too cool to only have 3 pics!!!!

**Boss Salvage**

Big congrats on getting everything together for GD, the suit looks fantastic. Pity about 95 showing no love and denying a great chance at the costume contest, but glad you both got to share the suit and win yourselves more fans

**Empchild**

I have a great one of her and the life size ork from THQ standing together. Totally awsome.

**DX3**

Aw.. I saw this Sister running around later in the day and wondered why she wasn't in the costume contest. That definitely stinks!

**Finnlock**

If you have pic's I'd love to see them

Like I said, I didn't have the chance to take a lot, to busy meeting and talking to very cool people

Thanks again to everyone who was there and stopped to say hello.

**zadelistol**

Finnlock, just a quick question about the armor. If someone where willing to pay for the supplies, the build and the time put into making one, would you sell your armor to someone?

**Orki**

Just scanned through this and I gotta say top marks for your efforts!

Geekspot - Those pistols from back at the start look suspiciously like they were built around the MP5 mini electrics?

(I just can't bring myself to call them AEG's...)

**sonofruss**

Kid_Kyoto has a pick in his GD gallery as well I vote Finnlock needs a new avatar pick

**Valhallan42nd**

A vid of the chainsword in action:

Above is a vid of some of the Club Tables, and also the amazing ork costume, and some of the sister as well.

**Empchild**

haha I saw him hgaving fun with those kids.. Finn the pics I have are all on camera phone.

**Leonus**

A powerfist AND a chainsword at the same time? Tsktsk.

**Finnlock**

Awesome, thanks for posting those.
I found this one, got some nice shots of the chainsword in action.

**helgrenze**

Yeah unfortunately I95 through Maryland and DC is a nightmare on its best day. Sorry you missed the contest. You planning new work for next year?

**clevahname**

Lol saw your girlfriend in her suit in fritz's gamesday vid. It came together really nice

**Finnlock**

Thanks for the heads up. I am looking for photos of the armor if you find any. I found this one and it's a good one, shows a lot of the details missing from my photos.

and a video which has the backpack shown at the end.

Okay, I'm guessing you guys are tired of me posting things....but here are are some of the stuff I got in the mail from THQ, wow, these guys are awesome!

**BrningHalo**

Finn,

Fantastic work on the costume. Truly, your dedication to the background of 40K and to the Sisters of Battle is clearly evident!

Sorry to hear that you did not make the costume contest, however, I think that had you made it, the judges may not have given
you the win because the costume is just "too" good....I can see them refusing to believe that a fan made that costume. Be prepared....
some Hollywood movie director is going to come knocking on your door to design and build the costumes for a Sisters of Battle themed
movie!!!!

I do hope that GW takes note of your efforts....you could single handedly (with your partner, of course) be responsible for a sudden upsurge in the popularity of the Sisters of Battle army!

Thank you for sharing this with us.

Tom

Made from toy MP5's the scale was a not quite 1:1 so they fit Raven's hands well. I bought them at Dallor General for like 8 bucks each.
They are hollow plastic which is good, makes them light and easy to work with

Wow, thanks, that's probably the nicest thing someone has said about the armor

I would LOVE to see some love for the sisters, they need it! I have loved the look of their army from the moment I first saw it!

**MasterDRD**

THQ took long enough out of their busy schedule to email you pics of your own armor? Damn, you must have impressed the hell out of them!
