Hulking Walking Tank Costumes

This Incredible Warhammer 40K Costume is a Hulking Achievement

— April 25, 2013 — Art & Design
It takes a special kind of geek to get into Warhammer 40,000 and it doesn't get more special than this incredible walking tank costume right out of the customizable board game.

This amazing piece was created by Daniel Høgh and Justina Šniukštaitė of Roses and Boltshells. Their company actually manufactures props for cosplay and geeky costume designs. Even though dressing up as a walking tank looks like it would difficult to move around in, the costume is mostly lightweight foam, which makes it possible to walk around and even wear around town for a nice afternoon walk if you were so inclined.

Could we be on the verge on a new trend in fashion? Probably not, but that doesn't mean that this Warhammer costume is any less impressive for its attention to detail and ability to make geeks stop in their tracks.
