This holiday season, we’re showing off some great cosplay work from the Warhammer Community. This Veteran has a passion for gaming that has manifested in a sick set of Khorne Berserker armor, and we just had to show it off!

How did you get your start in cosplay? How long have you been creating your projects? What inspires you to work in the cosplay realm?

I started right after Iraq, I told myself if I survived my tour that I would finally go to a convention. I did and started with a Jedi Cosplay at Star Wars Celebration V.

Currently I play Pubg, Smite, Battlefield one and a lot of RTS games on steam. I also play Warhammer 40k with a beautiful Preatorian Astra Militarium Army and a Ork Horde for Age of Sigmar! I do play D&D as well with my buddies!

I usually attend local cons, Star Wars Conventions and anything I can afford, I would like to go to San Diego Comic Con and Dragon Con!

What projects are you working on in the future?

Right now I am trying to figure out what to do, either a Xenomorph Alien or a DC villian of some type. I am trying to loose more weight to do more characters. If I had a better looking body maybe All-might from My Hero Acadamia!

What conventions are you attending this next season?

I think I am going to shoot for Adeptacon and Dragon Con.

Who are your cosplay inspirations? Whose work do you admire or aspire to?

Dominique Skye, Eric Caijuat, Rose Piercy, Rick Stafford and every awesome Cosplayer I met so far. People Inspire me to be who you are and these Cosplayers have always been awesome and good friends too!

What are your favorite movies/shows to watch or music to listen to while you craft?

Depends on whats going on, I like to work and watch movies, sometimes if it relates to what I am doing it motivated me to do what I need to do for a great Cosplay.

What message do you have for people wanting to break into cosplay? What have you learned in your time working in Cosplay?

Do it! Don’t let anyone tell you any different because its something you should do at least once! especially if your a passionate nerd like me.

What are your social media/website links? Where can we find you?

I have a Podcast show called Nerd Versus that just started its going to focus on all things Nerdy and not just Cosplay but I’ll cosplay every chance I get.
