40k Cosplay: The Sisters of Battle Squad

Not one, not two, but an entire horde of Sisters. So, so many sisters. Sisters on Staircases. In San Diego. At Wedding Ceremonies. Check out this week’s cosplay gallery, full of your favorite ladies of pain (and symmetrical bob haircuts). We’re featuring the work of Shawn Thorsson and his troupe of fierce lady cosplayers.

If you’ve been paying attention to the 40k Cosplay scene lately… or, hell, even if you HAVEN’T been, odds are you’ve seen Sisters. Many of them. Oh, so many of them. At cons, in parades, and at Maker Faires. Today we’re bringing you the best set of coordinated cosplayers I’ve seen in a long time. Shawn Thorsson of TandAWorkshop led the build. His assistant Rachel Vanderpool did most of the sewing as well as assisting with the fabrication of much of the armor. Makeup was by Amanda Thorsson.
