A party can be anything you make it. A party can be 3 über-nerds discussing Star Wars vs. Star Trek while listening to the masterpieces of John Williams and drinking root beer.

Change that to from "Star Wars" to "Ancient History", while listening to game soundtracks and drinking Guinness, and hell yes it can ;)

Hahaha, for some reason that really reminded me of "The office". You're teacher must be the school version of Michael Scott!

Yeah, i was thinking of making my own costume too, it's just that I would want it to be perfect and it would take alot of time, something I'm running short on now-a-days. The all black Sweboz unit looks sounds like a good idea though, and it shouldn't take that long to put together. Although, I wonder what the reaction would be when you try to explain to people what you are, I doubt any of them have ever heard of Sweboz before. If only I read this post a few days ago! Well maybe next year. Yeah the curved shield would be a headache to make, and so would an imperial gallic helmet. Or you could do a montefortino which you could try to make by putting a bronze metal pot on your head and then try to attach some kind of cheek plates and a horse hair crest. Is it just me, or does the montefortino helmet sort of look like a metal pot?

Paper Mashe all the way for any helmet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


make sure you measure your head, mine came out a lil' too big.
This is how I learned how to make it:

Here is a pic of the shield handle:


As for people, most draw a complete blank as to what you are, but everyone likes it.

FINAL SHOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



I didn't have any more time to do some decorative painting on the plate or shield.

Next year, I plan to improve upon this costume. I plan to make a decently good shield boss, a better and smoother helmet, some shin armor, a small boss on the armor plate and decoration!!!

Certain parts of that picture looks photoshopped...

[NeoSpartan]

I had a single day to improvise a costume for a HW party with my girlfriend last night, and figured some bizarre meshing of celtic warriors from EB would be more fun than cutting eyeholes in a sheet and going as a ghost (probably the easiest emergency costume).

This is like the "300" version of celtic anything, I know it's awful and all, but I only had about 4 hrs to get it together! I have a sledgehammer, so tried to go with the Ordmalica look, but didn't have anything to make the armor/chest plate with, or the long shirt, so kind of combined the weapon, as I didn't have time to make a shield (unfortunately my hammer is obviously from the present day, and looks nothing like the Ordmalica's 2 handed hammer, but it's the idea that counts right?), with whatever I could find that looked slightly like what some of the EB Celtic levies or spearmen wear. Then of course, the "woad paint"




Of course, no one had a clue of what I was supposed to be- I'm shocked at how many people don't even know what a "Celt" is! That sounds to me like someone saying "Japanese people? What are those?", or whatever.

The worst guess at what my costume was supposed to be, was "Are you the Incredible Hulk?" WTF? Does that look remotely like the Incredible Hulk? I should have replied with something equally stupid, like "No, I'm a horse", but the look of confusion I was getting from "I'm an ancient Celtic warrior. This is woad paint" was just too much fun.

LOL! yeah man dumb questions abound. It gets to the point of it being funny.

btw... next year, when you make the shield get ready for your family members to start going "WTF is wrong with you???"

Today my brother officially claimed that I "Had finaly lost it"

for anyone from the US or following the US presidential elections, I went as

the funniest part is that I'm not even black! I really am, well I'm sure you can guess from my avatar, title, location, and favorite smiley

[General Appo]

Meh, all those New Yorkers who went as Palin, now that really scared the shit out of me.

why, were they guys? Because I was planning to dress up as whoever was the democratic Presidential candidate, so had hillary won...

[theoldbelgian]

I was going to dress up as a Roman legionary, but real chain mail, and authentic helmet and swords are really expensive and I didn't want to just buy one of those cheap stereotipical Roman customes you can get at your local store. Anyway, Halloween is one of the best holidays here in America. You get to dress up as anything you want and get lots of candy. This whole Carnaval thing you guys are talking about doesn't seem too good to me. You Europeans are surely missing out on alot of stuff. Hey I never realized how many people there are, on these forums that aren't from U.S.

mmh actually we do dress up on carnival its actually the holiday that begins the lent
sort of cheating as you eat and drink as much as you need for 40 days
mostly now its just an excuse for crazy dress up party's
and get more drunk then an Irishman on saint patricksday(sorry if there are Irish people here but its how the saying goes)
its just how you see it but personally I like carnaval more

hey that's actually pretty good, not bad for the amount of time used to make it. interesting idea about paper mashe, never thought of that. really like that sword looks just like the one the iberians use in EB.

Not quite EB-related, but here's me in costume with my girlfriend:

Kissing her must strain your back something awful.

[General Appo]

That´s not very nice Havok. Not very nice at all. I do not see what gives you the right to laugh at the appearance of other people. I am very dissapointed with you Havok. I thought you were better than this.

ho win hell did I missed this thread? hehehe damn work

haven't played EB in 3 weeks


bout the hallowen thing... here I've always been taught not to celebrate hallowen, cause it's just another pointless (as our teachers always say) american (refering to the USA) celebration.

myself I haven't ever been on any kind of hallowen , I think I've been disguised like 3 times in my whole life

Wasn't it originally the Celtic Samhain? How could anything be LESS pointless for an EB fan!? ;-)

Here in the US, idiots claim no one should celebrate Halloween because it's "a devil worshipper holiday". IIRC it was just another previous holiday that was turned into Christian one like Xmas, Easter, and etc.

DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want those shoes! where did u get them????

[Mulceber]

great site, great shoes. custom-made too. My only recommendation is if you plan on wearing them inside a lot, request that he not put hobnails in the soles - the nails make them more durable, but it's pretty difficult to walk on smooth floors without slipping. -M

Sweet! Someone uploaded this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2_rT7wQmiY


They performed YMCA for my Spanish class.

[Gleemonex]

That´s not very nice Havok.

And it's not even funny. I don't know enough about elves to comment on the girlfriend, but the toga seems to be properly wrapped, and he just about nailed the Tyrian purple edging. He even has the countenance of a Roman senator. Good job Mulceber!

[Jarardo]

I dressed as a pirate. I got super hammered and talked like a pirate for 5 hours. It was the most fun I've had for a long time. I stabbed a lot of people and took all their stuff too(Well, I yelled about it a lot).

[Mulceber]

Hey, thanks for the support, Gleemonex. :) Yeah, I was definitely trying to show some gravitas in this shot.

[Artorius Maximus]

This Hallowe'en, I dressed as. . . . myself. In a pollo shirt, and blue jeans. My typical clothing style. I did the same last year lol.

[Celtic_Punk]

hehe that austrian fashige or something suits me just fine, Drinking, Retarded costumes, And partying WOOOOO!

I worship one god.... and his name is Bacchus!!!!

[Andronikos]

We don't celebrate Halloween (it is thought to be comercialised American holiday), we have more serious All saints day these days, partying in costumes is in the spring (like the Austrian fashige, our name of it sounds similar). I would like to go dressed as EB unit, but my friends dislike such parties, according to them, it is childish. But if I will manage to make some nice costume, I will post it when the time comes.
