Sorry if this is a repost, but this is pretty cool, some life-sized Dark Angels from Maker's Faire.

I like how even though the Space Marine is featured prominently, and there's half a dozen just-as-timely video game reference on display, Halo is the only one to get a nod from the commentator.

Being able to see his actual neck spoils it for me.

I agree. For such an awesome suit they could have easily made a black piece that hid his neck. I also think they could have done real wax stamps and better looking coffee stained paper for the shoulder inscriptions.

Do want Guard helmet. I would wear it to airsoft so much!

Especially since you can get the neck piece ready made for Stormtroopers already.

It bothered me to see his neck also, but besides that it's pretty cool! I probaly would wear it to airsoft too, see me runing around it my helmet 38000 years to come

That was pretty cool but agreed on the neck thing.

There was a topic in the fluff section on what martial arts a SM would use with lots of interesting debate.
But seeing the (albeit) interpretive size of one beside the interviewer, Im inclined to agree with those that said basically punching and kicking their way through IG/Tau were right.

VS more skilled oppinents, sure thats another debate.

D..Did they refer to it as Halo armour?

The neck.....and you can see his T-shirt under it! Awesome costume but poor execution, if you are going to that much effort finish the damn job!

Yep. Nevermind the obvious Space Marine, Skyrim, Mass Effect, and Dead Space items on display. In the grim darkness of the far future, all dudes in armor are Master Chief.

It's official, we have transferred racial stereotyping to video games.

Well, Wired has about as much to do with nerd things (hell, even technology anymore) as your grandmother does.

They probably abstained from referencing warhammer due to GW's tight licensing policies.
