Direct from the GRIM DARK future of Warhammer 40K comes Brother Braccus – Terminator of the
Angels of Vengeance chapter. Standing a full nine feet tall, 6 feet wide and 4 feet deep, this tactical
dreadnaught armour is the pride of the squad and stands strong as heavy support.
This cosplay is modelled directly off the terminators used in the computer game: Spacehulk
Deathwing.
Every part of this costume tells a story of his battles and conquests from the decorations to the
inscriptions. Every part of the costume has been carefully researched and validated according to the
tabletop game Warhammer 40K.
Over 1000 hours have been devoted to research, design and construction of this creation.
The suit is comprised of mostly EVA foam with some 3D printed elements, laser cut and etched
components and specially designed mechanics for movement and control.
The occupant stands on massive 28-inch stilts and uses complex hand controls designed and built
specifically to articulate the massive hands.
Some of the techniques involved in the construction include CAD design, 3D sculpting, 3D modelling,
pattern design, 3D printing, moulding, electronics, Laser cutting and etching and foam smithing.
The fine details that can not be seen are still faithfully represented to complete this masterwork.
Even extra details were added to enhance and bring to life this character.
Significant engineering is involved to maintain stability and control. The subframe helps both to
keep the cosplayer comfortable and to help with movement and weight.
The paintwork is a combination of rubber-based acrylic base with blackwash, airbrushed and hand-painted elements.
The highlights are enhanced with gilding wax to give it a more vibrant finish.
