Welcome to the Obscurus Crusade board, everyone! Tell us a bit about yourself- your name, what other boards and websites you visit, your army, your interests, what costume you've always wanted to make, and anything else you deem important. If you've already started cosplaying, post a picture of yourself in costume!

I'll start off:

Age: 21
Army: Imperial Guard (converted Catachans) and Space Marines (Crimson Fists)
Costumes: None yet. Commissar in progress.
Outside Interests: Writing, drawing, D&D, sleeping. I'm new to costuming, but I've had the idea of making my own Commissar outfit for a while. Seems like a cool prop to bring to my next game, so I figured, "Why not?"

Welcome to the board, Daniel! I'm working on a Commissar costume, too, so hopefully there will be some tutorials up on the subject soon. If you want help staying motivated, make a thread for your costume in the IG section and post your progress. What regiment are you thinking of?

Daitou · « **Reply #4 on:** September 28, 2009, 03:39:00 AM »

I'm not sure of the regiment, but it's likely going to be based on Commissar Holt's costume from the old Final Liberation game. If I were pressed, I'd say Valhallan - it would explain why I'm sweating like like crazy when it's above freezing.

Ooh, I know Commissar Holt. [img]http://i6.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /> If you go Valhallan, look at the covers of the Ciaphas Cain books- they have some good Valhallan-influenced commissar art.

Welcome, Richard! Have you seen Kaaskop's How to Make a Space Marine costume guide? It's a great place to start, if you haven't already.

richardlynch77 · « **Reply #11 on:** October 02, 2009, 03:38:00 PM »

Yeah, I've seen Kaaskop's guide, some excellent stuff there. Between his guide and a few tips I've picked up on the Star-wars based 501st and the Halo-based 405th websites, I'm hoping to make 3 full suits by this Halloween.
Just 'slightly' ambitious [img]http://i6.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/tongue.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tongue.gif' />

Ah, welcome, Eastman!

What cosplay do you plan on doing?
