He gets to build stuff for Warhammer 40K. And now he's getting paid for it. When My Brain Leaks, the Drops Drip Here.: Building Themed Lasertag Guns for Kill Team: LIVE
A few months back I got an interesting email from a representative for Games Workshop. It seems that after years of making various costume and prop projects based on their Warhammer 40,000 universe in my free time, they've taken notice. Not that these things are easy to miss when I take them out in public:
After a brief video conference, they sent me a list of potential builds that included loads of interesting projects. I can't go into the details of most of them in case they still end up being built for future events, but after a lot of discussion and back and forth, they finally settled on a first project to commission me for. My crew and I would build functioning lasertag guns themed to look like Ork Shootas and Imperial Lasguns for an in-person event experience called "Kill Team: LIVE."
The image above/right is of some Warhammer 40K Adepta Soritas armor that Thorsson built some time ago. (Would have loved to been on that train, that day!) Click the image for a larger view.
Click thru for a whole bunch of images of how he built functioning laser-tag guns (well, the functioning guts were supplied by a laser-tag vendor) for Warhammer 40,000 adventure. And some photos of the event itself.
