This is for an event where you wear costumes.

What would you think they'd come as / were trying to look like?

(Having a slight disagreement with DS!)

Thanks :)

The bad guy out of Street fighter

It’s also a bit Welcome To The Black Parade, with the colours and the mask.

Steampunk pirate

But now someone has said nazi, I can’t unsee that

Warhammer.

A Death Korps Commissar-General and his Ensign. A Death Korps Commissar is a Commissar of the Imperial Guard who serves as a political officer in the regiments of the Death Korps of Krieg that hail from the devastated, post-apocalytic Death World of Krieg in the Segmentum Tempestus.

If the costume is anything like that he would look fantastic.

Of course, no one who plays Warhammer will have a clue who he is meant to be!

Sorry, the copy and paste also included the image details!

hollyhocksarenotmessy · 13/09/2021 13:55

No idea, but as there's a miniature presumably it would be recognised as a specific character in a cosplay situation.

If you are wearing it outside of cosplay, I'm getting space nazi/Russian mummy or zombie vibes.

LubaLuca · 13/09/2021 13:55

I'm not sure about Nazi, but some kind of military baddie.

Aposterhasnoname · 13/09/2021 13:56

Space pirate

shmashing · 13/09/2021 13:56

Steampunk. I love it

SwanShaped · 13/09/2021 13:56

Space pirate or general steampunk dystopia.

dontgobaconmyheart · 13/09/2021 13:56

Whatever niche thing it actually is it has some not insignificant Nazi/SS vibes.

As a prospective costume, why risk invoking it, it doesn't matter what it technically is in that circumstance, just what potential harm might be done to others looking at it who don't know.

ineedsun · 13/09/2021 13:56

I’m only here fir the big reveal

BIoodyStupidJohnson · 13/09/2021 13:57

I was thinking Warhammer too. Or steampunk. Or possibly the Red Skull from Marvel.

Janaih · 13/09/2021 13:58

At first glance steam punk.
On closer inspection, sensing a nazi stormtrooper vibe.

MyOtherProfile · 13/09/2021 13:58

If it's Warhammer I guess it depends on the age of your ds. If he's 6 perhaps not so appropriate...

HeronLanyon · 13/09/2021 13:58

Can’t see the hat badge clearly but first thought was Prussian officer then it began to look quite mittel european/nazi.

littleloopylou · 13/09/2021 13:58

It's obviously much older fashioned than nazi gear. However, it does look like a prototypical 'evil dark soldier'. I think it looks like a blinged up French Revolutionary general.

steppemum · 13/09/2021 13:58

well, as I know NOTHING about any of the gamin etc, I would assume it is a costume from a specific storyline.

If it is not a specific costuem, but more a generic thing, then it looks steampunk.
I see the nazi vibe that people are saying, but that really isn't an ss coat, unless there is some insignia that I can't zoom in on, it is more that it is modern army general style clothing.

mask is seriously creepy, so I'd only want that if it was specific to a specific costume.

PalmarisLongus · 13/09/2021 14:00

I recognise it...

Very Nazi like.

WhatATimeToBeAlive · 13/09/2021 14:00

Some steampunk thing, but nothing specific beyond that!

TheQueef · 13/09/2021 14:00

Surely it depends Bacon if it's a dedicated/ themed event where it will be recognised it's fine?
Maybe not for Y2 costume day admittedly but in context?

steppemum · 13/09/2021 14:00

ss has no red on it at all. So I don't think nazi, just generic nasty soldier general

Supertree · 13/09/2021 14:00

Creepy steampunk pirate

SquishySquirmy · 13/09/2021 14:00

Space pirate.

flashpaper · 13/09/2021 14:00

Definitely getting nazi vibes from the eagle shape on his hat Confused
