On stage at Memorabilia this weekend I was asked what my dream cosplay would be, and I have to admit my mind went completely blank. In spite of the fact that I was expecting that question, I just suddenly couldn't think of a single thing I'd like to do. But if my brain had been in gear and I'd been thinking straight there would have been one dream cosplay, and one alone, which would have come to mind...
From The Black Library, and the pen of Dan Abnett, Colonel Commissar Ibram Gaunt. The commanding office of the Tanith First and Only from the Warhammer 40,000 universe. I've always loved the commissars in 40k, and their uniforms are just fantastic, and Ibram Gaunt has that edge over the rest of them with the iconic Tanith camo cape and the sword of Heironymo Sondar.
So there it is, my dream costume. And ye gods I promise to myself that one day I'm going to do this, and grace the stage at Memorabilia as one of the greatest military commanders the Imperium of Man has ever seen!
For Tanith. For the Emperor.
yes, yes, yes. Commissars FTW.
