Description
I bet you wonder what I've been up to for so long?Well, here's the answer to that
I made myself a Techpriest, another warhammer 40k character! Of course, I couldn't stop at making a costume, so all the fourr arms on the back move at my command. Each joint has a servo motor controlled by a flex sensor attached to a finger on the glove. So the arms move, claws open and close and guns aim as I move my fingers. Pretty epic. People freak out. Add to that the voice changer I soldered up and I've sent con-goers running with this costume. (Yes, actually. They screamed and ran away.)I only have a short video of it moving at the first crash test, but any others will also be uploaded to www.facebook.com/OCDcreations/β¦ if you want to see it move.
Photomanipulation for the lights I'll be adding.

EDIT: Wow, a DD! Thank you!
Since this is an old photo, a lot of stuff has happened since, and if you like the costume, you can see the Tech Priest move, bless soda dispensers, reqruit servitors and bargain off used Space Marine equipment here! www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0HiiZβ¦

If you don't mind me asking, how did you make/attach those white trims to the robe? Or did you sow them in manually?
Thanks!

So that Salamander said to be there was also you?
Damn, i couldnΒ΄t see that though.
Also i was searching for you on Saturday evening, when i was actually going as Commissar.
I could have used a Techpriest, and i am not even joking XD

DonΒ΄t you have like, a fan built in there?
How much does the suit weigh actually?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, it's a walking, green sauna. Two computer fans, one of those small handheld ones and a few bottles of ice. Kept me going in the evening.

Ahhhh., what kind of battery does one need to keep them powered?
Also i have to say i am really curious how exactly you got the mechandrites to move owo
π: 0 β©: 1
I used 3 9V batteries, for a 27V grid, which kinda works when running two 12V fans in serial.
The details for the arms can be found in a few video logs I made while progressing. See here: www.facebook.com/OCDcreations/β¦
