Badass.

Awesome display of costuming and prop building to keep the character concept within the WH40k universe and believable. I wonder if the weapons and tanks are only props that exhist in the background for atmosphere, or is there some game mechanic in their use. I could never understand how larps do ranged combat. KR has a system with bows that really makes it viable to play an archer, where some games I've played in the past, its so dumbed down its not practical. I wonder if the rules in use take advantage of people dedicated enough to make bolter props and assault cannons. I've heard of the rubber band or nerf guns that some larps employ with futuristic larps, but those use very toy-like reps. This larp looks like they've taken that to epic proportions lol.

If anything, I'd imagine it to be more like a paintball or aerosoft scenerio battle rather than an actual larp. 

Well done period. Dont ruin my image with bringing up that it could be for lame airsoft games.
