Working chainsword and Battle Sister armor

[Finnlock]

Hello,

My 1st posting here of something I have made.
It's a set of armor from warhammer 40k for the Sisters of Battle with working chainsword. It's a mixture of all the differnt drawings, artwork and minis from the game.

These are pitcures and a video(not mine) from Games Day in Baltimore last Saturday.

Some still shots of the chainsword.

Looks really good. I never got into Warhammer (even the videogames) but I love their over the top designs for things.

Finnlock, that chainsword is badass! Someone wants me to make them a working chainsword and yours looks amazing. Can I pick your brain on how you made it? do you have any WIP pics? Your suit is great as well, unfortunately that video is terrible, it shakes so much I can barely see you or the sword. any chance of a video you can make at home to show off the awesome details better?

 

[Dakarn]

That is awesome. As a occasional 40k player that is spot on for the Sisters!

How heavy is that chainsword, bolter and the costume overall? And what are the two weapons made out of?

Great craftsmanship and you should definitely share how you got the chainsword to work.

I think we need some details (and hopefully WIP pics) of how that chain sword is working. It's really impressive!

Great Stuff! I'd LOVE to see you guyz strolling down Main street U.S.A.!
I got to party with GWAR after a show in Atlanta years ago, similar look to me, but more "foamy" on their part!

Oh man SOB stuff...unbelievable. I like it. What no cherubs???

This is fantastic! I love all the weathering done, even the purity seal on the chainsword looks great! I'd love to take some closer looks at that armor, hell, even the kneepads are perfect.

We'll work on getting a better video up. I'd like to do a photo shoot with it,but need a good location in northen NJ, bergen county area...anyone know of a good Gothic/battlezone lookin' like area in NJ or a good photographer in the area?

I would love to do a collaboration piece with you, because your casting you made would make for one awesome working chainsword!

I just got these images and gif in the mail from the fine folks at THQ. They took some photos and Neal was kind enough to send them to me. The Sister v.s. Ork gif is really awesome

Are you going to sell the bolters???

 

[Finnlock]

No, not going to sell them. Might trade one, but I don't need the hassle from GW lawers..

I probably do a tutorial if people are interested.

that cosplay is fantastic, it all is extremely well done, I love it!

I realise I'm reviving a long dead thread, but you wouldn't happen to have any in-progress shots or design specs would you Finnlock?

I'm looking at making a few bolters for a local costuming group and I rather like your design.
