Best of Cosplay At PAX East 2014 - Day 1

#5 is Link and Aryll from Wind Waker. Given that there's quite a bit of notable LoZ cosplay this year.
6 is definitely from Warhammer, probably the fantasy version. The icons hanging from the staff gave it away to me. Sadly I'm not too familiar with the fantasy version but he looks to be some kind of sorcerer serving the dark gods (except Khorne because Khorne does not approve of magic, his icon was absent from the staff).
It could go either way between 40k and Fantasy, without something like a power weapon or las-pistol you could make an argument for either setting.Xan Krieger said:
I would say he would be a Chaos Undivided cultist, the 8 pointed star is repeated on the staff and on his necklace pendent.
So we don't have to keep going back to the articleEd130 The Vanguard said:
All that said we have at least narrowed it down to Warhammer serving the chaos gods, anything more than that can't really be determined from the picture.
He does, but... Sorcerors in both systems tend to parade around in heavy armor, while cultists do not.Xan Krieger said:
Kind of getting sick of all the League of Legends cosplay. Props to the talented artists behind the game, and equal props to the talented cosplayers that fabricate the costumes, but over-saturation is still over-saturation.
They do that in Warhammer fantasy? Sorry, my knowledge of the fantasy version is just a few pictures of the models, I've never read about it or played it. W40K on the other hand, well I'm used to grinding up cultists with the treads of my armored regiments and they always looked too ragged compared to that guy.Pyrian said:
Are you sure #5 isn't from Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons? The rolled up pants, floppy hair and the carrying on the back? Come on, it's got to be!
Oh and #9 immediately made me think of the monster in Amnesia. Something about the mouth and skin tone.

Surprised that nothing from the BioWare base or the Mass Effect actor cosplayers party thing was shown. That was today/yesterday, right?
I mean, there's at least her:

Nope. They girl he is carrying is dressed as Aryll for starters, and the shirt is Link's Pajama shirt in Wind Waker.Blood Brain Barrier said:
Tell'r that some randomHastln said:
The thing is, Morrigan from Dark Stalkers isn't really "evil". As I understand the storyline she's more aloof and, dare I say, "whimsical". Her theme song should be "Girls Just Want To Have Fun" as she'd much rather explore the wonders and fun of the Human World than deal with the day-to-day minutia of being the Queen of the Demon World. 
Awwww, apparently Captcha isn't into cos-play: "Fashion Victim"

I too thought the sorcerer look liked Matt, but only in the face. TBF are shorter and fatter than the cosplayers shown here, and as for the ghost busters guy? He has way too much hair on his head to be Pat.Caramel Frappe said:
...man, reading that back sounds like I'm dissing them super hard, but I really do love those guys.
And yeah, good 40K cosplay looks awesome (mostly because I really like 40K in general).
Well sort of, the 40k universe at large is home to many plumes of peacocks and turkeys. In the table-top every cultist is gonna be frothing at the mouth and wearing as many spikes/skulls/Chaos Icon's/ragged robes/etc as the sculptor can cram in. However in books and the Pen and Paper; Cultist often don't want to be found. So of course they hide in plain sight, or in underground meeting halls. This is the guy that you would expect to find at the head of such a cult.Xan Krieger said:
Of course the best way to look at it is that the Imperium doesn't drop tanks onto every bit of "suspected cult activity". So this guy is most likely closer to the everyday sight for the Arbites, or the Inquisitor. If things escalated to the point of the PDF having problems (or in some cases becoming part of the problem) then it it likely you'll get Space Marines, Imperial Guard regiments, Inquisition's Chamber Militant, Sisters of Battle, Dead Imperial Fists, and the like entering the fight. I imagine by that time if this guy is still alive his robe would have become quite tattered and caked in blood, corposant streaming from his mouth, and would probably be surrounded by people wearing as many spikes/skulls/Chaos Icon's/ragged robes/etc as they could cram onto themeselves.
