Don’t miss not one, but two amazing suits of Space Marine Cosplay armor that will rock your socks. Just no questions about the loyalty of these Dark Angels.
Cosplay takes on all kinds of forms. But occasionally, you’ll find some incredible cosplayers that have outdone themselves to fit in the 40k universe.
Coming from Becosplay on Reddit, this cosplayer brought Dark Angels (and their successor) to the next level. His suit is completely hand-made and we think it deserves some serious recognition. Great job on bringing your hobby to life beyond the tabletop!
Next Level Cosplay: Dark Angels Space Marine
Coming from Becosplay’s Facebook Page:
This hobbyist has gone all-in on the Dark Angels. Rocking the classic Dark Angels black from the times of the Horus Heresy, for his Angels of Vengeance, he is the stuff of nightmares if you’re T3 or below.
When it comes to making power armor, we think one of the hardest things to get right is the pauldron size. Looking at BeCosplay’s suit, we think he’s nailed it. He’s big and imposing, but not to the point where he gives up any range of motion. He can even balance a D6 on his powerfist.
Featured in GUARDSMAN Short Film
You might remember the GUARDSMAN short film by Richard Boylan from a while back. It showed a Guardsman that had fallen into some kind of underground system where Tyranids happened to be lurking. Right when all hope seemed lost, this Dark Angel came in to open up a can of whoop ass.
But this isn’t the only suit he’s done!
Brother Braccus: Angels of Vengeance Terminator
He’s also just recently made a Terminator suit which he’s named “Brother Braccus” of the Angels of Vengeance Chapter. But this picture doesn’t quite give justice to the true scale of this thing.
Get a load of the size of this suit! If 40k stepped out of the lore and into real life, we think he’s just about nailed the scaling of everything.
To pull off the ability to even wear this massive suit, he’s resorted to unconventional, yet clever ways of strapping things down. He repurposed some old backpack straps to hook the chest plate around him. Most people might think to have the plates sit on their shoulders. However, when it comes to massive ceramite armor blocks, sometimes it can make the suit look too big for the wearer if they aren’t careful. The backpack straps keep things elevated and sitting just right.
Be sure to check out more on his progress and materials he used on his Becosplay Facebook page and let us know what you think about his work in the comments of our Facebook Hobby Group.
