Cpt_Reaper Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Brilliant. Just brilliant. Is it a foam build or pepakura? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/283080-13th-co-cosplay/#findComment-3518009 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wulfen Posted November 10, 2013 Author Share Posted November 10, 2013 Thanks guys! Yes it does get hot. I have a pretty good fan in the backpack that blows air into the chest which works a treat, very comfortable, I only need to do something about getting airflow into the helmet - alot of heat funnels up through the suit and collects there. When I'm not wearing the helmet it's all sweet. It's actually not too hard to walk in (with a bit of practice). I could never jog or run, but walking's ok. It's pepakura/fibreglass/filler. I was intent on thin rigid armour shells rather than bulky, squishy foam armour. The foam builds can look pretty good but there are problems with getting a good finish and glues coming apart in heat (armour left in cars!) etc and I wanted something solid, rigid and durable! I kept the shells thin too so it ended up about the same weight as most foam builds. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/283080-13th-co-cosplay/#findComment-3518073 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kasper_Hawser Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Here's an idea: forgo the helmet. Put on a grey wig, as well as a grey beard (but not too long to remind everyone of Saint Nick), slap some claw tatoos on your face and Wah Lah! You're a Grey Hunter! or Wolf Guard! or even Long Fang! Actually your pack colours are more of Long Fangs or Scouts I think (White markings on black, someone correct me?) The whole suit is awesome and clearly lovingly crafted. I know there's only so much we can imitate from an actual two metre tall space marine, but just for the sake of criticism, I'm going to cite a few: 1) You're missing the "barrel" chest of the Space Marines, where they are clearly V Shaped from the waist. 2) Something about the boots strike me as off, reminds me of Iron Man. Don't get me wrong, you are clearly more awesome than a lot of the late anime cosplayers I've seen of late.

Nadir Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I like it. Especially the idea of a jaw on the helmet (I will steal it for mine figures:) ) Kasper_Hawser - the colours are just from 13Co. from Eye of Terror supplement. It's a Grey Slayer (they were like like Grey Hunters, but more elite, because of the age the yspent in the Eye).

Max_Dammit Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Looks fantastic, you just need to dirty up those pelts and the tale. And build me one of those axes Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/283080-13th-co-cosplay/#findComment-3518952 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasper_Hawser Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Oh, didn't realise the 13th Co had their own unique colours. Actually what Max said is perfect: just dirty up the pelts, make them a little more ragged and you're set to win all cosplay contests.

Growler67 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 If you wish an option for a Wolf Priest, you may consider a "Skull Motorcycle Helmet" as a base. Here are a couple from a quick Google, but I'm sure you can find a local source near you should you be so inclined: http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/Masei-419-Skull-DOT-Fiberglass-Motorcycle-Helmet-Bike-Open-Face-Helmets/710764_1020979149.html http://www.ironhorsehelmets.com/dot-matte-skull-motorcycle-helmet/ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/283080-13th-co-cosplay/#findComment-3520253 Share on other sites More sharing options...
