Picture of an Empire soldier at Comic-Con
« on: July 24, 2012, 06:19:14 PM »
If this isn't a Empire soldier I don't know what is. This is a pretty cool costume.



Lots of other good pics on the blog that I got this pic from. None Empire related, but cool.

There's an Empire soldier in that picture? I can't see it. Perhaps someone is distracting me?

Good costume. His isn't bad either.

Awesome costume!    :biggriin:

Needs more skulls though.





And a bigger codpiece...

Are we looking at the same costume?  I don't see skulls anywhere...  :engel:

Is the cigarette part of the costume, or just taking a break?

Wow, nice costume!  Thanks for touching it up, I never would've noticed it before.

Needs a bigger codpiece.  And more skulls.

The image was not in focus, and I noticed a lot of people on this forums could not see the guy dresses as an empire character.  I simply helped them see.  The original, non focused, image is still at the top of the thread.

You automatically assumed the focus was distorted by the girl, but who says it was not the bearded guy?  :icon_wink:

I removed half the focus on him as well.  Personally, my focus was distracted by the old asian man's face on the right edge of the picture.

How come there is no complaints about this costume featuring pyjama-style tights, and there is so much hatred for the new State Troops? :)

I see it now. Yeah, definitely a Warhammer Empire costume, what with the skull and the armour style and the parchment etc. It's funny, though, the cleaned up picture makes me feel sad now. But I can't think why. It's like I'm longing for something.

Personally I quite like the legs hiding at the back but they would probably look much better standing.
