Well as a fellow 40k player what do we play or game/hobby with?

Your answer little toy soldiers

^Gettng jokes fail.

I second the view (bottom of first page, I think) that the SOB looks like a bloke. To be honest, unless I could produce a costume that made me look like a space marine and not a blue storm trooper reject, I wouldn't bother.

Some cosplayers get it spot on though. Have you seen the dutch guy who made an exact replica spiderman costume? It took him two years or something, but it looked amazing. He even got the eyes right.

ROFL!


Ok, this thread is attracting a lot of haters now. There is plenty of funny ribbing going on. But there are a few too many guys out there that are going after the girl in the first pic for dressing up as a 40k character.

A) She dressed up like a 40k character... awesome!

B) She owns a leather bodice. Awesome!

I will issue permits for each person to continue ripping on these girls if you provide... a picture of your girlfriend/wife, proof that your girlfriend/wife owns a leather bodice, and proof that your girlfriend/wife doesn't think your hobby is a total waste of time.

Are there any Europeans who do this kind of thing at conventions (other than the odd 12 year-old at Gamesday), or is this just a Western Hemisphere thing? I've been to many UK game shows and never seen anyone dressed as such an arse! Maybe its just not a UK thing. Maybe the French and Germans, and even the Belgians engage in it and not being French, German or Belgian I haven't seen them...?

I mean I see nothing out of place in fit young female models walking around in spandex and laser guns. But overweight middle-aged roleplayers doing it is just so wrong and I have NEVER seen a Brit doing it!

When I went to London 2 years ago I met a few Naruto (which I wasn't familiar with at the time) and Final Fantasy cosplayers. There were somewhere between 14 and 17 I think. Appearantly there was some sort of convention in town, but it was my last day, so I didn't see anyone else.

Not nearly enough chains for a repentia

Well you know, England. Inbreeding, lousy weather, weak beer, bed teeth. It's only to be expected.

At least they have real Internet over there, not like in China where every 2nd site gets banned because they know about human rights

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

Why should there be a marvel poster at a warhammer convention?
(Or in this case a geek convention.)

You know what I once had a dream I was walking in a mall dressed like a space marine a darkangel no less.

I know a guy who made an almost exact replica of the Batman suit from Batman Begins.

We were all hanging outside a bar one night with him wearing it when we see someone steal some girl's purse. He takes off after the guy(dangerous prospect there), who completely freaks and ditches the purse because Batman is chasing him. It was kinda awesome.

Oooh that was a low blow and Kid the inbreeding is strictly confined to Norfolk.

Gun Kata is Photogenic!

I know I post this a lot, but that's because the image is burned into my memory and
now I must spread its joy to all on the nets.

Anybody else think this is like the Arby's commercial where the guy asks his girl to dress up like an Arby's employee and bring him a sandwich in bed?

Excellent idea. I need to start persuading mine to wear a burger king mask and do the same.

no offense but men in make up just makes em look like g*y bags.

geez similar hair to your avatar!

I hate people who dress up in costumes.

One time I took some lady's purse, and someone dressed up like fething Batman comes after me!

I just freaked out and dropped the purse. I don't mess with anyone who even looks like Batman.

There's this group of guys who pretend they're real superheroes and dress up in spandex to thwart thieves or some crap like that.

They have youtube vids and everything. It's amazing.

I bet you people all think you're "soft-as-a-kitten" hilarious. I guess it's some kind of a counterpoint to all the computer geeks laughing at Warhammer, or something. Laughing at fat people (in ridiculous costumes or not) is about as slowed as you can get while still remaining capable of actual speech.

That sounds cool - but you haven't given me enough info to search it up myself, do you feel like rustling up a link (yes yes lazy b*gger etc, go fetch me a coffee etc)

As much as I think that Cosplaying and Larping is ridiculous... I also have a respect for the people that do it, because doing something so socially-unacceptable in public takes balls.

Well that, and i think some do look awesome!
atleast i think the ones i posted looks nice... >.>

so, who's the dude in the SOB outfit?

Part of me says "SoB costume, awesome!"
The SCA part of me says "God, couldn't she have used some decent fabric that wouldn't tear so easily, or have that horrid shine?!"

That said, the only issues I have with cosplay or whatever is that people wear completely inappropriate clothing for their body, and go insane. There is something to be said for not dressing like a whore in general, and when your nylons stretch to the point they look like fishnets, you need to reevaluate your clothing. Not that fat people need to wear burkas, but people just need to realize that clothing that models can pull off does not necessarily work for everyone.
That, and it worries me when people make up completely fictional persona's for themselves, and talk endlessly about how cool they are and all these things they "did". There is something rather sick about that.

Also, the marine should have shaved his head. A balding SM is just sad.

OMG!

Don't stop with the pictures. This is good fun.

You can find them yourself. Google image search Man Faye.
