GW: Halloween Costume Ideas
Halloween is on Monday and you don’t have a costume? Here are some awesome costumes to inspire you!
It’s the Saturday before Halloween and you don’t have a costume? No Problem! Just copy these “easy to re-create” costumes and you’ll be set for Monday!
Eldar Banshee
Natasha @NargaLifestream has a quick Banshee Costume you could hammer out in a measly 4 minutes. Tops!
(On a serious note – go check out their creations on Deviant Art, Twitter, and Facebook. You will not be disappointed.)
Saint Celestine
We’ve all got some spare LED lights, a few servo motors and a spare Sisters of Battle Costume with a can of Gold Spray-paint laying around, right? The hardest part of this costume will be to track down those creepy babies for the wings. It’s not like there is an aisle in a toy store called “Creepy Baby Section” or anything.
(Go read the article for a full interview AND video recap of this cosplay from DragonCon!)
Terminator Captain
Alright guys, this one’s for you. The battle damage might be a bit much if you’re looking for a last minute costume. I’d just go with the “from the factory” look to play it safe.
(Go check out Roses and Boltshells for the latest on their projects. See his full spread on Deviantart here.)
Warhammer Fantasy Costumes
The Old World is dead and some folks just have a hard time letting go. I, personally, wouldn’t want to wear any costumes from a “dead” fictional franchise, no sir! but if those had been Age of Sigmar Costumes, I’d be all over it! Eh, I’m sure everyone has same Skaven mask in there closet too. Just need to bust out your spare set of armor and some red paint and you’re good to go!
(Go check out this AMAZING Warhammer LARP. 100’s of photos and the particpates went all out – there is a STEAM TANK!)
Life-Size Space Marine Costume
The hardest part of putting this costume together is going to be to learn to walk in stilts. I really feel like these folks are cheating at Costumes – or at least lying to everyone about their height. Then again, what do you expect for a costume that only takes a minute to build:

GenCon 2016 Space Wolves
If you’re going as a group why not jump on the Space Wolves Bandwagon. They got a new boxed game or something recently so don’t be surprised if EVERYONE shows up as a Space Wolf this year. I guess if you run in a pack it will be easier for you to carry your Halloween Candies…
(You’ve GOT to see Wulfgar Weapons & Props and CosAwesome Studios for even more mind-blowning costumes.)
Well hopefully you’ve got some inspiration now. I’m sure you’ll be able to whip-up a costume like one of these in no time. At least you’ve got a day or two to finalize it and really add some class to your costume.
(HA – maybe if I start now I’ll be ready for NEXT Halloween. Kudos to all these amazing cosplayers and thanks for the inspiration!)
Halloween – when the Emperor rises from the Golden Throne and walks among us mere mortals! … Or something about candy, I forget.
