Good Cosplay Thread - pt3 - The Pros of Cons

armor is straight hard to get right, few cosplayers have gotten it right on, even less in actual metal/composite(real armor)
 
Of course, the answer to that has always been to do it Space Marines/Sisters of Battle. That said, the entire thing is kinda dumb... pretty much every other option (Adeptus Techpriests, Imperial Guard, Commissariat, Vindicare, Sanctioned Psykers, etc.) in the lore isn't restricted by sex, pretty even across the other races. If it wasn't such a long established part of lore, it wouldn't even be discussed: they'd just change it.

Too bad Dark Millennium got canned years ago.

Also, the girl is wearing soviet regalia on her armor. Which raises an eyebrow, to me.

What's next, a space marine with swastika/albatross regalia?
 
By the way, she is the nicest person. She immediately recognized both John and myself, complimented John on his Constantine cosplay, and between the three of us we must have chatted at her both for at least 10 minutes. It had been her birthday during the week so I gave her a silver bracelet I'd made years ago that the client had bailed on me. She was like, "Wow it's beautiful, can I give you a hug?" and I said, "Um, yeah, I think that would be alright." So, got a hug, got a picture, got a cool conversation with her. She mentioned that she was playing D&D and Pathfinder now (we'd talked RPGs at the last convention) and she was really enjoying the race options with Pathfinder.

A bit later a woman came up in the same Jim Balent style Catwoman outfit that BelleChere is famous for, and she was obviously really starstruck, and BelleChere was just so sweet to her. We scoped out other parts of the con at that point, but I'll tell you, if anyone ever says that BelleChere is a bitch, they're either lying or really, really provoked her, because she was super nice.
