One day there will be a lifesized game of 40k. And we will all act as the models. I, for one, plan to use whatever weapon I am given, not just sit there with it like my army seems to keep doing.

Wouldnt' that make use LARPERs though? Theres nothing lower than LARPERs.

I dunno. The life-size space marine armor from that sfx company in the UK (Nimba Creations, I think) is pretty sweet. *drool* I'd go for some live action boffer combat if I got to wear the blood angel armor. :mrgreen:

I am actually surprised that there aren't more people who costume as 40k stuff. There's a lot of variety and most of the minis look really awesome. Understandably, some of the costumes would be really difficult, but there are plenty of others that could be done with pink foam*, a hot wire, and a heck of a lot of urethene (sp?).

Though if you do go look hard enough online, you can find some pretty hardcore fans who have made some awesome 40k costumes. I guess that isn't everybody's cup of tea, but yeah...If you haven't guessed, I'm one of those evil, evil LARPERS that you occasionally see skulking around.

*Pink foam. A high-density, but lightweight foam commonly used as housing insulation. There is also another brand which is pastel blue. You can cut/sand it to whatever shape you want, and if you seal it right, you get a lightweight, and surprisingly strong item.

even if it is photoshopped that guy must be pretty skilled with it

Actually the rest of the guy's website is far more impressive. Dude's a fantastic illustrator, likes to draw Romans and Commissars...

Somehow that combination works out well...

If this is going to happen, never carry the plasma weapons. That hurts. Really bad.

Unless you are tau

I am telling you we would be no better than larpers. Just walk away and don't look back.

Larpers? was ist das?

by **ArchDuke of Macragge** » Tue May 02, 2006 8:50 pm

Live Action Role Play- LARP.

by **deamoncow** » Tue May 02, 2006 8:57 pm

ahhh... yes we would be, exept turn based, not live action so TBRPs

by **ragingpotato** » Tue May 02, 2006 9:28 pm

it'd be more like war reenactors (who are like LARPers but usually old)

by **Tyranid Fodder** » Tue May 02, 2006 10:36 pm

Reenacting is nothing like larping. You are recreating historical battles with authentic equipment.

larpers run around the woods with 20 sided die and foam/plastic swords.
